The Fox at Bulmer Tye
Latest Reviews
We arranged a last minute lunch at The Fox today, and were delighted by the excellent quality of the food and service. Being longstanding customers, we have always been impressed by The Fox, but it seems to be even better than before.

So happy to see the Fox re-open, having been shut for a time (not due to Covid - just change of ownership). It was always my favourite eatery in the area, and although it's slightly different, the same appeal has been kept. All new staff, but all extremely polite and friendly. Food is amazing - slightly more expensive than it used to be, but then it's slightly more 'unique', so that's justified. Please go back here if you haven't been since it closed and give it a go with an open mind, but fond memories of previously. :-)

Dipped our toes post lockdown in our nearest local and we were NOT disappointed! Staff were very attentive and courteous. Food was delicious. You need a big appetite for Sunday Roast sadly we had no room for the delicious sounding desserts! No issues with social distancing as you sit back to back with neighbouring tables with good screening. A real confidence boaster to get out more and support these businesses. Have already booked Sunday lunch for next week!

Great food & great service! Food was a really good quality and well presented, the ham hock scotch egg and flat steak especially!. Andrew our server was great and very accommodating. Couldn't rate it higher. My only gripe was charging 2.70 for a very very small bottle of coke. None the less, will be dining here again in the future

We visited for Sunday lunch on the first weekend after lockdown....and it was worth the wait! The service was exceptional, we felt very safe and the food was amazing (roast pork was perfect). Please visit, our local amenities need our support and you won’t be disappointed. We will be back!

First meal out since lockdown and it was fantastic! I’d been a bit apprehensive about going out but I needn’t have worried at all - the restaurant was spotless and the social distancing and hygiene measures they have in place really are excellent.
They’re working on a reduced menu at the moment - changing weekly - because of govt guidelines but there’s something for everyone and they also accommodated my dietary needs brilliantly (gluten free). The waiter was attentive and polite, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.
My friend and I had the beetroot and the ham hock scotch egg starters, sea bream and short rib mains (that beef was melt in the mouth and the rosti was unbelievably good), halloumi and truffle fries sides, and we shared a cheese board to finish. We also had drinks and coffees, and both felt that it was very reasonably priced.
Overall an excellent experience, I will definitely be booking again!

My parent had surprised me with a visit and we had such a lovey meal here when they were up last time, we thought we’d go again and as they now had the spring menu we had to give it a try.
Well they didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing, service was brilliant and they were more then happy for my parents dog to come in too.When the next night came and with all the uncertainty at the moment with places not being open, we wasn’t sure what we going to do for dinner. Then we saw they had take away on offer. Well that was that was the best decision we’d made all day. Fish and chips all round and yet again it tasted amazing.
Feel this has now become our dinner spot for when my parents are around. We look forward to coming again.

First visit to this pub.. Lovely pub but book before you go. We hadn't booked but a table was found for us to sit at, so we could have a quick bite to eat. The food was delicious. Staff welcoming, and polite

The GF and I used to come to The Fox under the previous owners. The food became a bit samey (which I am sure worked for their business) and the not being able to book became annoying when you couldn't get in and everywhere else was full.
We have been for Saturday Lunch and Sunday Lunch over the past two weekends and loved it. Last Saturday, we went for the three course option. The cottage pie fritters were excellent and the scotch egg was perfect.I had the pork with gremolata and it was excellent. Sunday Lunch today was a smaller affair (just the one course). For £15 the sirloin of beef with a huge yorkshire, extra gravy and veg was delicious. Although we did feel a little hungry after so perhaps some more potatoes would have been good.
Either way, really happy that the fox is back with a wider menu and bookings!

Incredibly friendly staff, delicious food!

A group of four of us had dinner here on Tuesday evening. Our table was booked for 6.15pm and the place was quite empty. By 7.30 it was buzzing! Three of us had the steak and ale pie which was delicious. Really tender meat, nice pastry and mashed potatoes and the gravy was yummy! It seemed a bit expensive at £14 but it was extremely filling and we didn’t have room for a dessert. I would only say, as constructive criticism, that it would have been nice to have more than one sort of vegetable on the plate. I know not everyone enjoys vegetables, but I really do! Staff were lovely and it was a good experience.

Called in for a drink after a long walk with the dog, ended up staying for a few hours, enjoyed wonderful bar snacks and great beer. All the staff made us and Lexi feel very welcome so much so we booked a table for the Saturday evening, the food was delicious and even on a packed Saturday evening the staff all found time to chat. Next time we are visiting the area we will definitely pop in for beer and food.

Nice big car park for us classic car enthusiasts, food was good and beer OK but a limited choice for the latter. Staff struggled a bit with a sudden influx of orders from club members but they were very friendly and cheerful. Overall a strong four stars, worth a try.

This was our second time back and I’m so pleased we gave The Fox another chance. We ate at The Fox last autumn and we were left feeling a little underwhelmed, but this evening it was great the see the staff still as friendly and the food has improved!!
Love the selection of drinks, the cauliflower bhajis are yummy, the pork dish wasn’t dry and the pie was packed full of meat. Will be back soon!
