We were a group of 6 with 2 dogs and were made to feel very welcome. The nibbles, starters, mains and desserts were plentiful and extremely tasty. The service was excellent. We will be visiting again soon. Thank you.

We had an excellent meal at the Fox & Hounds last night. The menu is a mix of very high standard traditional pub food ( eg burger & chips, fish & chips) but also other seasonal quality dishes, I had a delicious butternut squash starter & a superb swordfish main. The pub is friendly & has a really good atmosphere with lovely staff. We will be returning often!
