We only use this road to Sudbury infrequently so this was our first visit since the re-opening and we were very impressed. QuietTuesday lunchtime afgter the recent move to tier 2 restrictions-therewereonly three other tables taken- but we were quickly made welcome and drinks came quickly. We ordered the grilled sandwich menu,my wife choosing the Caprese vegetarian option and I had the Reuben with salt beef and cheese. Both were well presented generous portions with a generous side of frites. aTogether with drinks this came to a very reasonable £27. Service was very friendly and the place was totally Covid compliant without being oppressive. We will call again when visiting Sudbury.

Very attentive and helpful staff. One of our party of 4 required gluten free food and the staff were very informative in this respect.
We all had different food and it was excellent. Tasty and well presented.Apologies for delay in posting this review!
Just about to book a return visit.

Favourite restaurant!

Without doubt this is our favourite restaurant to visit. The food is always sublime and the staff are friendly. The restaurant is very stylish and always kept very clean. Would highly recommend.

Great modern decor, tables nicely spaced out. Service was excellent and the food was delicious and very reasonable due to an offer on a Thursday evening. Covid safety procedures were well in place. Thankyou we will be back!!

Stopped off here for lunch while on a walk in the area and was delighted by both the quality of the food and the service. £20 for starter and main was excellent value too. Only disappointment was that I'm unlikely to be back soon but hope that others head there over the next few months. We need places like this to not only survive but prosper.

This was our lunch stop en route to a mini staycation in Long Melford. What a good choice! The food and service were excellent and at £20 for two courses or £25 for three (for those with much bigger appetites than ours) also fantastic value. Surprised how empty the pub was, but then again it is only Monday. I do hope that plenty of others are supporting this business at such a difficult time for the hospitality industry. Encouraged by the high level of adherence to Covid secure regulations.

Food was excellent. Service just the same. Small point our meals could have been hotter.

Will certainly go back after the meal deal ends.

We ate dinner here last night having been persuaded by friends to step out of our front door. Food was delicious - we very much enjoyed our choices from the restricted menu. I understand that this currently changes each week. I actually think that the choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 puddings is a good way to go....... It obviously allows the kitchen to produce high quality dishes. Service was friendly and welcoming without being over the top.
The most reassuring Covid measure was the lack of people .....or perhaps I should say that each service is restricted to just 40 people. Bookings are staggered to ensure that there is not a great rush of people arriving at the same time.
It seemed a little silly that the hand santiser dispenser was placed behind a placard on an easel in the entrance lobby. It was not obvious to see, it was not easy to reach and we were not asked to use it before entry.
One small issue - We were seated beneath a speaker for the sound system - it was a little intrusive and we found it difficult to hear each other ( we were a group of just 4 so not an anticipated difficulty)

Excellent Roast Beef for lunch today, followed by the best Chocolate Fondant with vanilla ice cream. Great social distancing measures in place but retained a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

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. :-)
