We went to Fox and Hounds for my mum's birthday meal at lunch time today. It was absolutely lovely. Ellen was extremely upbeat despite the restaurant being absolutely packed. There were multiple large groups in for their Christmas meal but Ellen did her best to make sure everyone was taken care of. She advised us that there would be a delay on mains which was fine. The food was definitely worth the wait, everything was superb. And the dessert was best of all. My mum and I ordered the "melting festive bell" and the staff had put it on a cheese board for my mum, with happy birthday written in chocolate and a little tealight for her to blow out. It really made her feel special they completely went the extra mile and made it a fantastic meal for all. My parents haven't been here in almost 40 years and will definitely be coming back. The venue was also decorated beautifully for christmas with a roaring fire in the grate.

Group meal out and Ellen (our server) was fab & friendly. Overall the food was lovely, couple of meals weren’t quite as hot as expected but it was busy in there. Would recommend for good hearty pub food. One member of the group had dietary restrictions and although there was an IPad it was confusing on what was impacted or not.

The food was lovely, although could've been warmer. The service was slow but I'm not sure if that's cos we were sat out of the way in the corner. I would definitely come back, but not on a time crunch

I am so happy I got what I ordered! No oil, no olive oil, just butter, salt and water. The sea bass is divine, fresh from the sea and the vegetables were perfect. Sophie suggested I try Chapel Down as it was my first time and she is such a connoisseur of these English sparkling wines that I can't wait to try again. The staff are so friendly and amazing. Also they are Pet friendly too!

Booked here this evening and had a superb meal, the atmosphere was really nice and made to feel at home. The service was second to none and Gabrielle was attentive in all aspects of what was needed to make the visit a memorable one. Price of the meal was spot on costing just over £25 PP including a drink (I had two pints) for a 2 course meal. They had a guest ale on which I was assured is a regular thing. All in all a really nice place to have a meal with a good menu selection and a specials board as well.
