   Pretty disappointing. Staff were friendly enough, service time was ok but unfortunately you go for the food and it wasn't up to much today. Starter was advertised as nachos, pulled pork and jalapenos, three of us ordered this and not one jalapeno in site . Carvery overall was ok but seemed like the food has been sitting there for quite a while, as roast potatoes were very hard to cut with cutlery provided (almost rubbery) . I myself ordered the Burger meal , it almost passed as a childs portion but the worst part was a round burger on an oblong cob which wasn't even fresh, it was a chewy oven bake cob . Deserts were nice, good quality and fair portions. Chef was pretty much on his own, so I understand that he was under pressure and I felt for him. It's a shame because previous visits have been great but this has put me off revisiting. Lets hope it was just an offer day .

   We made a reservation at The Fox, but upon arrival, we were informed that they had limited starter options and most of the desserts were unavailable. As it was a Sunday and we had young children with us, this was quite disappointing. The waiter provided us with a children's menu, but when we attempted to place our order, we were informed that the kids' menu was not being offered that day. Eventually, the restaurant agreed to accommodate us with the children's menu, but we soon discovered that several main items were also unavailable from that selection. Ultimately, we decided to leave and went to the Honey Bee, where we found a diverse menu, excellent food, and much more reasonable prices.

   We visit The Fox regularly for a Sunday carvery & the food is consistently good. However, the service we had in our last visit left a lot to be desired. The pub was not overly busy, but it was not running as smoothly as usual.

   First time dining here, the lady who greeted us was warm and friendly however the lady who took our orders seemed rather cold and short towards us. We had the 3 course festive meal and opted for the carvery, the food seemed lukewarm and the roasties were solid and dry, we heard another table complain about them. The place was cold as they had windows open 2 tables asked to move away from the window, I think they're having an issue with the fire perhaps? I would return to give it another go but I wouldn't have the carvery.

   Had a lovely meal with friends last night. A choice of 5 meats including venison was outstanding. Thank you for making our night special

   Very good festive carvery with nice addition of venison with the roasts. Would have been nice to have the offer of a 2 course price for those not wanting 3 courses for £20. Frequent visitors, always find staff friendly and helpful.

    Had to wait 30 minutes for our booked table to become available which was disappointing. Food was excellent and served hot which is not always the case when choosing a carvery. You have to get your own drinks and order food from the bar. Would recommend but think they may have tried to squeeze too many booking into today.
