    Excellent experience as always thank you. We had a thoroughly enjoyable Birthday lunch. Lovely seasonal menu all homecooked foods which were exquisite. Service warm, friendly and welcoming. The three of us sat by the lovely warm fireplace, it was a lovely ambience for a Friday lunchtime, every table taken. Very relaxed and comfortable. We can't wait to visit again. Next time will be with my family for Christmas Eve. Thank you Sword Inn Hand.

    We had dear friends visiting, knew it would be a beautiful sunny day for a walk in the country, and the Fox was nearby to provide them with a delicious lunch. It exceeded our already high expectations. They have an ala carte which was incredibly good value too. Delicious food! Excellent service. Thank you.
