Reservations are for food bookings only – all drinks are first come, first served.

Not trying too hard, not overly complicated, and EXACTLY what you are looking for; our menu is the fox's knees. We have got a great selection of Scottish beers on tap, and have recently created an extensive cocktail menu for you to sip on while you catch up with friends. From the kitchen, you can expect feel good pub dishes with a twist made from fresh, seasonal ingredients – we think yer granny would even approve!

Foxes might not be great at sports (it’s hard when you can’t even wear shoes) but that doesn’t stop us from watching all the big games! We have all Sky Sports & BT channels so can show everything from the Scottish Premiership & International Football to the Grand National and Wimbledon. Swing by, pull up a pew and catch all of the action.

    Excellent all round as normal. First time we have done a Sunday for the football. The roast beef was amazing. 👏 staff as normal very friendly and helpful. Just a pity about the result.

    4 people had lunch, the food was plentiful and great quality, we all thoroughly enjoyed everything we had. Lovely and cosy in the upper section seated in a booth, very comfortable. Extremely friendly and efficient staff, lovely girl served us, gave recommendations which we went with. Overall a tip top experience thank you X

    Lovely, helpful staff, food excellent, but very big portions ( just an observation ). Overall, very enjoyable experience, very happy to return!
    The Smokin FoxResponded on 9 March 2025
    Hi Dorothy - Really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your visit to the Fox and thanks for the glowing feedback on staff and meals! Portion size is always a tricky one with different appetites to consider, but we would always prefer to give a little too much than not quite enough - always happy to provide a doggy bag as well :) We are making a few seasonal changes for Springtime in the coming weeks, so looking forward to seeing you again soon to try! Team Fox :)

    Excellent food and service. We didn't realise the Calcutta Cup was on and although it was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves it was very busy and noisy. Difficult to chat and have a relaxing meal. I'd definitely go back ,just not on a Saturday night, my mistake.
    The Smokin FoxResponded on 26 February 2025
    Thank you for fantastic feedback on food and service. We always strive for the best! Yes, you are absolutely right, Saturday night was ecstatic, thanks to Rugby games. We can't wait to welcome you back on a non sport day for chilled and relaxing atmosphere, keep an eye on our social media as we are about to launch Sunday Roast. Have a nice day, Team Fox :)

    It was very busy which is good. However we could not hear each other speak. Service was ok. Dealt with reasonably. Starters. Haggis bons bons lovely. Chicken wings. Lovely. Philly cheesesteak not so lovely. Dried out slices of meat on a slab of cheese not Philly. Tasteless macaroni on the side was lovely. Would I go back. Not quickly.
    The Smokin FoxResponded on 26 February 2025
    Thanks for great feedback on our dishes Iain, indeed a very busy day for Six Nations and great atmosphere but we understand noisy Saturday is not everyone's cup of tea, make sure you visit us during the week for more relaxed vibes. I am sorry to hear couple of the dishes did not meet your expectations, please let us know next time as we would be more than happy to replace them. We are launching new menu next month and will review your feedback with chefs. Have a great day, Team Fox :)
