Fantastic Sunday roast and great selection of draft beers and ales. A lovely touch also from the landlord to pop over and introduce himself too as we hadn't been in since he took over. Will be visiting again.

Haven’t been to the fox and hounds for a while but heard there was a new landlord so thought we would go back and see if it’s any better. It is very much far better now than it was. the food was amazing, I had the lamb shank and it was perfect. The atmosphere was great and it felt very welcoming. Previously we always felt hurried out the door but now under the new landlord we felt relaxed and could enjoy our time there. He even came over and had a chat with us to see how we were getting on. Absolutely spot on and will 100% be going back in the future. It will be our meeting place when all back in Denmead for our meet ups.

Having grown up on School Lane, of course we know the Fox very well. But I don’t think I can remember a better experience over the many years than myself and my friends had this Sunday. Great friendly welcoming service and atmosphere, and even better food. We are so happy to recommend our local pub to all our friends once again.

We have visited The Fox and Hounds pub in Denmead twice for lunch, and our experiences have been mixed. During our first visit, we ordered the ribs and a cheeseburger. The ribs were fantastic, served as four massive pieces in a delectable sticky sauce. However, the cheeseburger was quite the opposite; it was undercooked, potentially cooked from frozen, resulting in an unpleasant jelly-like texture. It was inedible, but to their credit, we received a refund. We hope that others do not encounter the same issue. Our second visit saw us sticking to the ribs, which we had enjoyed previously. Unfortunately, there was an issue with consistency. This time, there were fewer ribs, and the sauce had changed to what seemed like a red wine sauce, lacking the sticky texture we previously enjoyed. While the ribs were still served with salad and fries, there were numerous raw spring onions scattered on top. This was not mentioned on the menu, and while I had no problem eating them, my wife dislikes raw onions and found this addition unappealing. The Fox and Hounds is a community-saved freehouse with significant investment. While we found the drinks satisfactory, the inconsistency and quality of the food left us disappointed, and we have decided not to return for meals. Overall, the atmosphere and drinks are commendable, but the food, unfortunately, fell short of expectations.

Popped into the Fox and Hounds, Denmead for an impromptu roast. The landlord, Chris, was very accommodating and although they were busy and we were just passing through, they made space for us. We had wonderful roast pork and beef dinners. Loads of cauliflower cheese which was gorgeous too! Couldn't fault the team, really friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. The landlord shared he had some exciting plans for the place and wanted to deliver quality food. Based on our visit I’d say he’s doing an amazing job! We will definitely book ahead next time though as think he’s going to be really successful and very busy. Adding a bit of an edit on here. We went in again today in October as we enjoyed our meal so much before. The service was crazy slow this time. Table booked at 415 and didn’t receive our mains until 530. What made things worse was after a hour and a quarter of waiting three of us who ordered roasts didn’t have Yorkshire puddings as they had run out (we were surprised by this as not a difficult recipe esp given the time we had waited). The staff were very apologetic and discounted our drinks but we were left feeling a little sad. Overall a lovely meal again well cooked and great portions just very slow service and running out of food simply isn’t what you’d expect having booked a table for a set roast menu.

Wonderful village pub, with super friendly staff. Just borderline on prices, but their menu looks amazing. I didn't eat on this visit, but I'll make a point of trying something next time. Be aware that you can park in the Village Hall car park, which is directly beside The Vine. Highly recommended.

Astounding service, I called at 10 am, early December, when my electric heating had failed. Within 3 hours an engineer had visited, diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Even the bill was reasonable, what more can you ask for? Thank you Andrew

A perfect country pub with roaring log fires and wood beams. Very friendly service with lunchtime and main menus plus a special board. Good portions, great quality and reasonable prices. Best to book well ahead as can get busy. Two car parks on offer with large play area for the kids. Well worth the effort to get there.

Friday lunch time visit for us, table booked in advance good job because it got very busy. My wife ordered the steak and ale pie/creamy mash potato for me was the sirloin steak/chips and father-in-law cod n chips and our niece smaller one plate ham egg and chips. The pie had lovely pastry with large tender "chunks" of steak and creamy mash surrounded with cabbage and carrots topped off with gravy my wife's overall opinion was "delicious". For me I had the steak n chips £23 so I was expecting a tasty piece of beef cooked to my liking and I wasn't disappointed it was perfect say no more... The cod n chips got a thumbs up from my father-in-law and our little one enjoyed her ham/egg/chips. Good service from the very busy waitress staff, we will return.

A beautiful old traditional country pub. Have eaten here a few times now and the food is fantastic. Friendly staff, lovely location and great food with very decent portion sizes. Highly recommend this pub! Definitely worth booking in advance though as it has always been packed when I've been.

Honestly the best experience, we came here for my nans 86th birthday. From the moment of booking over the phone to on the day, the staff were fantastic, so helpful, Friendly and everything went so smoothly considering there was 19 of us meaning we could just sit back relax and enjoy family time. The food was so good, we have all said we will be back. Thank you making it a special one for my Nan to remember, she had happy tears whilst we sang happy birthday!

We booked a table for 3 people last Friday night (after eating there a couple of months ago and finding it really good then). We requested a table out the back as one of our party struggles with noise for medical reasons and this was kindly accommodated without an issue. Friendly welcome and friendly service throughout. We all had 3 courses. Food came out in good time and was perfectly cooked - perfect portion sizes - just ticked all the boxes. The pub has a great feel about it. Small, cosy village pub. I’m lucky to live in the village and will always go back here and always recommend it to others.

Unfortunately the pies and Vegan Wellington were off, but a nice meal all the same. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Took note of our dietary requirements and warned where a dish we had selected would not suit. Very helpful after our "accident" with our latte.

One of our favourite country pubs to go to, they have a restaurant area and a bar area with plenty of parking and outside seating when the suns out too! The log fire is a beautiful addition to the pub and we love spending afternoons here. The food is delicious, good portions and the wine selection is great. 🩷I recommend the Rose Malbec!

Visited on a Monday lunchtime alone and stayed for dinner and dessert. Place is much smarter than I remember on previous visit many years ago. Clean and tidy ( including toilets ) with excellent service, attentive well presented staff but not imposing. Food itself was great...''Pie of the day' with delightful cheesecake to follow ( only crticism was raspberry glazed top added nice colour but little taste ) Whatever keen to make positive recommendation. Food above average standard and nicely plated ( see pics). Prices acceptable. Would happily dine again x

What a fantastic place sort of tucked away behind a big long bush . Lovely setting, gardens, interior, toilets ( important) And most of all fantastic food & great friendly service. We couldn’t fault anything. Even had linen napkins & fresh flowers on the tables. It’s all about in the detail and these guys have got it!! Well done ..Will return.. 😊

What can I say negative about this place? Absolutely nothing. Very friendly staff, lovely clean bar and restaurant. Gorgeous food, especially the salt and pepper squid starter. The batter was to die for. The steak and ale pie was so nice the steak was a melt in your mouth moment. A definite place to return to and would recommend to everyone.

Amazingly, in one week I've discovered 2 truly genuine old style British pubs. The Forest of Bere is the second one. Wonderful old world charm, superb choice of drinks...and although on this visit I only sampled the Abbott's, the menu looked both good and well priced. Staff were very friendly...has sports channels and is currently showing The Six Nations. Well worth a visit...and it's on a bus route should you have that option. I'll definitely be back again.

8 of us went for lunch on 18th December 2024. The pub was packed! I could not fault the food, I had the pork belly and it was more than I could eat. One of my friends had the fish n chips. The fish was HUGE the largest I have seen. Prices were very reasonable. Service was a bit slow but considering how many people were eating I'm not surprised, I wouldn't have liked to work in the kitchen! We all enjoyed our food and I will return. Congratulations to all the staff.
