Went on Saturday night with 3 friends. Food was lovely but quite expensive. It wouldn't have taken a lot to add some more vegetables as the portions weren't that large for the amount paid. Staff were polite, friendly and interior was nice/ clean.

A great find. Lovely tasty cottage pie served in a jacket potato with steamed greens. The beer is brewed by their own micro brewery. I had a lovely dark chocolate mousse with candied orange peel with a meringue biscuit and coffee. The staff were very helpful and rustled a a bit of left over need for our dog. For a fiver. The bill came to c£61 worth every penny. Will definitely return to try other dishes and their steaks. Good steak knives and linen napkins classy. Suggest you book in advance as it’s very popular. A good sized car park and outside covered places to sit too.

I love this place! Every time we've been here we've received a warm welcome, eaten delicious food and drunk good wines and beers. This is our 'go to' place. If you've not been before give it a try, you won't be disappointed! 👍🏼😁🍷🍺

A regular for me, but not been for a few months, as on a detox!
A refreshing change with innovative menus , and changing specials that draw you in. The service is 100% professional, without being intrusive.
The chef is a genius, and today the specials were quite unique!

I have used this place frequently although this was my first visit in a few months. The standard of food, service and cleanliness are as high as ever. This is the only place I will order a steak as they have a good choice on their steak board and consistently cook it well. Menu choices are wide and staff are knowledgeable about the menu. Booking is easy through the website or by phone. Plenty of parking on site.

Food was amazing, well cooked and piping hot. Generous portions. I have only given 3 stars for atmosphere as it was very quiet on the night I dined. Also dogs ate allowed which I am not fond of but it won't stop me going back.

Place was fairly empty but to be expected on a Thursday night in January. Went for the Ribeye from the steak menu which was well cooked and had good flavour. Found it to be slightly on the expensive side for what you get but could tell the meat was good quality. Service was good.
I can imagine there is more atmosphere on a busy friday or Saturday night.
Overall not a bad place to visit for a meal.

Food was super lovely! The whitebait was surely the best I have had in a long time! Delightful staff, setting and good location for our needs. Loved it at The Fox.

Great lunch, had the fish cakes and salt and pepper squid for starters, followed by the Pork Belly and Sirloin of Beef. All good sized portions. Lovely veggies and really good crispy roast potatoes, made a change to have something other than squeaky french beans. Staff were really pleasant

Food was good but a bit over priced for Sunday lunch. Also found the pub lacked in atmosphere as hardly any xmas decorations and a bit quiet. Service was ok, but could have been a bit quicker as we were told we only had the table for 2 hours even though it wasn't that busy which didn't seem particularly welcoming. We had 2 courses and wouldn't have had time for 3 as we would have exceeded the time limit.

Came in today after not being able to get a table elsewhere (forgot to book 😫) after a quick phonecall to the fox they allocated us a table very quickly.

After not knowing either of the lagers I followed the waitresses suggestion, ended up being one of the nicest pints of beer I've had.

Me and my other half both ordered roast sirloin of beef; the meal was incredible. The beef tender and also slightly pink, very soft to cut. Carrots full of flavour although couldn't put my finger on whether cooked in honey or stock. Gravy lovely too with a strong beef flavour, green veg leeks and cabbage, a beautiful big Yorkie and toasties were crispy but soft in the middle.

Can't fault any of the experience and would happily go again. Just wish I could of eaten more!

Bill for two pints of lager and 2 roasts (£51.00)

We decided to visit here as half way between our friends and us and we love Gusto Pronto restaurants
We were warmly welcome by Amma the front of house Manager
The weather was miserable outside but it was warm indoors
We found the menu choice very good for our tastes
We had mackerel pate and ham hock bonbons starters and the bonbons were very tasty
Onto mains and again very good with the steak and brewshed pies along with really well cooked pink duck breasts and a steak cooked exactly to request. The accompanying sauces on any dish worked well and we like the creativity re the potatoes and other vegetables
Amma and the team looked after us really well, attentive but not over bearing.
We recommend this place

Booked a table as we had done a lot of research into the local pubs and the Fox seemed to be a good choice based on previous comments.
We arrived about 30 minutes before the table was booked so we could enjoy a drink before dinner. There were only five tables throughout the restaurant being used besides us and no one drinking in the bar area.
Three young girls were working the bar and restaurant. We were brought the menu, which we had looked online anyway, but as the food was being brought out, I thought that the pie listed looked tiny for £18, with a small cup of American style fries. Then we noticed that there were signs all around the premises stating that no cash is accepted throughout the business. I had cash with me and my intention was to pay in cash, so was disappointed with this.
As one of the young girls went past us, I mentioned that we wanted to pay cash and she reiterated to me that cash was not acceptable. I stated that I believed that it was illegal not to accept tender with the monarch's head on it and she said that as many people state the same, she had researched it and found that it only applies if that is the only form of payment if the person doesn't have any other means of payment. The way this was enforced, made us feel uncomfortable and we soon realised why there were so few people in the premises on a Saturday night. We decided to cancel our table and go elsewhere so I approached the bar to settle the bill and was more than gobsmacked at the cost of two large glasses of wine and a bottle of cider at £31.50. Wine was £12.50 a glass, more than I have paid in parts of London.
The owners need to understand that we are in a cost of living crisis and catering for 5 tables on a Saturday night doesn't work out economically, overcharging for what I considered to be a lower than average amount of food, which I'm grateful that we didn't have, then charging around 50% more for a glass of wine than other pubs in the area.It's no wonder it was so empty!
