The Fox is an award winning pub & fine dining restaurant with rooms located in picturesque Willian near Letchworth, North Hertfordshire. It has a great locals bar serving a wide selection of real ales and lagers, dog friendly. Our newly refurbished stylish, relaxed 2 rosette restaurant serves an abundance of locally sourced seasonal produce with an accessible wine list as well as an extensive bar menu.

We have created a beautifully landscaped outside dining area with heating and lighting. Each table has an umbrella for cover, but please come prepared for inclement weather. If the weather takes a turn for the worse and you have booked an outside table we may not be able to accommodate you inside.

The Fox also boasts 8 beautifully designed bedrooms adjoining the pub which are open all year round. 5 of our our bedrooms are also dog friendly.

We booked for breakfast, not 100% sure what to expect, but had read some good reviews, so decided to give it a try. We were impressed with the menu before we went, as it has plenty of options. When we arrived, there was a kind gentleman who greeted us straight away and directed us to our table in the bar area. The interior is beautifully decorated and with a few extra garnishes for the festive season, truly delightful. The service was brilliant throughout our visit, we could not fault the friendliness of the staff, and prompt service. The food itself was delicious, I chose the Eggs Benedict, which was perfectly cooked and presented, and delicious! My other half chose the Full English, which was a hearty portion, and looked freshly prepared, well presented, and was delicious too. Our bill was very fair, and shows fantastic value for money. We will certainly be coming back for another breakfast, and look forward to trying the lunch and dinner menus too. We would like to thank the staff for a brilliant visit, we couldn’t recommend it to our family and friends enough!

Went with our 3 teens for my husbands birthday. Delicious food and great service. The ambiance was extra special as they were singing carols in the bar. Very pretty pub!

The Fox is an a la carte restaurant in the evenings. We didn’t realise and there wasn’t too much for my friend to eat. The waiting staff asked the manager if we could order off of the lunchtime menu, which she did. The food was delicious, especially the Hispi cabbage and the chocolate mousse dessert! It was busy but well staffed so service was adequate. The ambience was also lovely. Would thoroughly recommend
