    Stopped here for lunch. Lovely location perfect for an afternoon walk after a delicious and filling lunch. We sat outside in the beer garden and had a little Robin join us for part of our meal. Calamari was great, loved the scotch egg, and the roasts were perfect. Good friendly service, would highly recommend.

    Went without booking a table for a birthday meal on a Thursday lunch time. During half term so there were a few tables but overall quiet. Staff were friendly and welcoming. I am lactose intolerant and Mums gluten free so the glass onion app makes viewing allergen info super easy. Was chuffed the fish and chips is dairy free! They’d run out of the vegan crumble but offered to make us a quick one but didn’t want to jeopardise the quality which was sweet of them to offer. Food was delicious, generous portions and arrived quickly and hot. Will definitely be back to try the crumble!

    Had a lovely meal at the Fox. Good variety on their menu. Always a lovely atmosphere and great to have on our doorstep. Currently enjoying an Eton mess. Thanks Karen

    We came to The Fox for a Sunday roast after a lovely walk through Farthing Downs and Happy Valley. Very cosy atmosphere- fires were on and a big pub garden out the window. I recommend booking in advance as they have limited number of roasts. We sat in the dog friendly area. Vegetarian Roast was delicious, also recommend the crumble! Our server Bina was brilliant. Friendly and attentive. We will be back!!

    Booked a table in the dog friendly area, but they had live music on which made it far too loud to stay inside. Went outside instead, chose our meals, went to the bar to order & was told it would be an hour's wait for food - might have been ok if we were inside, but sitting outside with my 84 year-old Mum was not going to be ok, so we left and went elsewhere. There was nothing about the live music on the website, though apparently it was on their social media (why would I go on there if all I wanted to do was book a table)
