The Fox & Hounds Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Food is great - can either eat in the main restaurant or order from the bar at any time and eat outside."
• "The standout dish were the scallops. Amazing purée, very well cooked scallops."
• "The guacamole chilli egg and a coffee really hit the spot."
• "Great food and beer! The restaurant has a lovely conservatory area, and they have a completely separate bar food menu, which is great for a quick bite."
• "Always great service here and superb lunch platters..."
• "Great food. Starters were excellent."
• "Food was unexpectedly excellent! Not your typical cheap pub grub, but actually decent Italian stuff."

Cons:

• "If its after breakfast time and you don't want a pizza, then there is no other vegetarian options available."
• "Having spent a few times at this pub after long walks at the Great Park, it had become one of my local favourites. Sadly, we were disappointed with the poor quality and scarce menu on offer (mostly burgers), frozen chips as side dishes, and mostly poor quality of the meat dishes."
• "Food overpriced for the portion you get, £15 for pesto pasta with a peanut burratta is too much."
• "I have ordered the thai chicken curry and after one bite I noticed that the texture of the chicken is odd, and after taking the other piece out I realised that it was basically raw not undercooked, but raw."
• "Food mediocre unfortunately also."
• "Whilst the ambience is positive I thought the food was a little mediocre."
• "The vegetable Wellington is very small for the price."

Service

Pros:

• "Employees are very helpful."
• "Service was attentive & super friendly."
• "Service was fast, efficient and polite."

Cons:

• "I stood patiently waiting for a long time at the entrance, the staff could see me there but chatted to each other and didn’t even apologise or say ‘we’ll just be a minute’ so eventually I left never to return!"
• "Servers... kept mixing up the orders for tables as they did not appear to know the numbers of the tables!"
• "Staff pleasant...Very slow service 45 mins +..."
• "Service was intermittent some very good some not so."
• "Disappointed with the server we had. He was funny, and we thought he was joking when he said we couldn't have a particular sauce because we hadn't ordered steak."
• "Service was annoying as our waitress struggle to explain what all the weird toppings were or to take our order correctly."
• "The staff don't know how to cope with the numbers."

Ambience & Location

Pros:

Cons:

• "It should be communicated or sign posted somewhere that the car park will be LOCKED during the evening/night."
• "Once a fabulous pub. Sadly, since its renovation it has had its heart and soul ripped out."
• "So sorry to say this but either the management has changed or this place has just gone downhill big time."
• "The walls are painted in a contrasting cream and magenta and there's music blaring out of loudspeakers."
• "It was like a zoo with amount of animals in there and smelt doggy."
