My friend and I have often meet up at the Fox and Hounds and usually the staff are helpful to our needs. She has to have a gluten free and a low sodium diet, so menus can be quite limiting for her. But this pub has always been very good at making Gluten batter for the Fish, until now. The waitress seemed really put out that she had to ask the Chef if this could be done, the answer came back no. So she asked if the fish could be cooked without the batter. At first the waitress said no it was all pre-battered, then decided to check with the chef. It turned out it was possible to have the fish without the batter, great! Our food arrive, I will say my Green Thai Curry was very nice. I noticed my...
So disappointed. We have been to The fox on so many occasions, we are a walking club and always, when in the area, call in to have numerous pints and food. There’s always 4 or 5 of us and although we never think to book the staff can usually accommodate us. Went in today and were surprised at how empty it was. We thought nothing of it and ordered our beer and food. To be fair the beer was great and the food, chicken pie, was very tasty. When we got the bill we discovered there was a £13 charge for service. £13 for bringing the food from the kitchen to our table. Needless to say we will now eat in the pub down the road when we walk there. So so disappointed.
The food at this restaurant is a welcome change from typical mass-produced pub fare. The dishes are well-presented, delicious, and definitely not reheated in a microwave. The wine selection is impressive, reasonably priced, and served at the perfect temperature. The heavy cotton napkins add a touch of elegance that is rare to find in most places. Despite the slightly cold and abrupt reception, I will definitely be returning for dinner in hopes of a warmer welcome. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!
Our first visit. What a lovely pub. We went to celebrate a family members birthday and were made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The menu choice was great and the food was delicious. We were very impressed how the staff accomodated us taking an 11 month old child. We enjoyed a leisurely meal and were not rushed at all. It was just such a lovely relaxed evening and we are all looking forward to returning. Many thanks to the staff. Will certainly recommend to our friends and family.

Took ages to find it as signage is inadequate (had to ask a local for directions). Had spoken to someone there earlier to make sure they were open as we were driving 30-odd miles to get there. Woman on phone hung up on me when I said we wouldn't be eating. Same frosty response on arrival and we were directed to some dingy room at the back. Fantastic view, no atmosphere at all. How disappointing. Landlord (I assume) was lovely though.
Pub can get very busy so best to book for a meal. of us went all had fish. One had plaice loved it. One had small fish chips loved it. I had largs fish chips hated it! The chips were a good size but lacked any bite The fish was mostly batter the second worst I have ever had. Staff were ok.
Had a delicious lunch at this lovely pub. Really good and varied menu and the beer and wine choice was also excellent. The service was friendly and prompt. Lovely views from the front of the pub too with a good beer garden. A very good experience which I would like to repeat very soon.
Called in on the off chance as it was just a short detour from the A303 on our return to Devon. What a delightful English pub. Service was prompt and the food lovely. Looking forward to another visit this summer to make use of the many benches on the Green opposite the pub.

I visited this charming pub with my adult son who has autism and my five-year-old grandson. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly, helpful, and understanding, and the food was delicious. We definitely plan on returning in the future.
Lovely food and friendly staff. The Eton Mess is amazing! Dog friendly and just a nice place to be overall. Would recommend
