    Absolutely outstanding Service by all staff and most of all the Sunday lunch was delicious. I choose Pork Belly with trimmings which was melt in the mouth and so flavoursome. One of the best roast dinners I have had in a long time. Well done and thank you

    Good food, freshly cooked and always piping hot. Reasonable choice from nibbles to starters, mains and sides. Traditional pub food mixed with some different choices.

    Excellent food at the Fox & Hounds - borne out over a number of visits in the past few months. Delivered speedily, always tasty and there's a refreshing variety of options on the menu. Particularly rate Sunday roasts too! The service was excellent - brilliant to receive a really warm welcome and friendly, attentive service. Nothing was too much bother & when we arrived my message to the pub via OpenTable had been noted and acted on. Loads of parking, handy for Silverstone circuit and I've already booked to come again next month!
