We were weekly visitors to the previous Bulmer Fox. They always accommodated any request for the kids' food, and the main menu offered simple, high quality food, with seasonal variations. The Fox burger was the best burger in the world. Simply and perfectly cooked, with a melting herb butter, the very best chips and a beautiful rustic tomato sauce. It was nothing too fancy.But lovingly cooked. And genuinely the greatest meal you could ever wish for - I sorely miss it. We were so sad when Henry Ford and his family closed the restaurant, but understood the challenges they faced.
So when the Fox at Bulmer reopened recently, we were excited. Could it live up to the unpretentiousness and amazingly high quality of its previous incarnation?
In summary, not quite. But not bad either.
The food, service and atmosphere aren't yet close to the previous experience, but give it a chance. The staff are friendly and seem to be feeling their way well. The food is OK, if a little inconsistent. The prices are also a little too high for a weekly visit, but not eye wateringly high.
We wish Henry Ford had trialed higher prices for a while. We would have been delighted to pay more. It really was the best place to eat in a 30 mile radius.
But we now also wish the new Fox at Bulmer the very best of luck, and will visit again soon. We hope to find a more consistently high quality meal as the team gain in confidence.

Our first visit and were impressed by the clean lines of this restaurant. We were greeted by friendly staff and were shown to our table. Which i had to admit seemed rather sparse plastic chairs. Unfortunately, we had some rather noisy diners nearby by which was rather off putting. Perhaps some soft furnishings would be a good idea to deaden noise from other diners.
The menu was comprehensive but seemed to lack information of the suitability of the food i.e. if it was suitable for Vegans etc. All in all the food was to a high standard and very tasty.Will definitely go again.

Went with the family for Sunday lunch. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. The last thing I did before leaving was to book a table for my daughters birthday in December.

We met friends there last month and enjoyed our meal.
However, as time moved on the noise was quite deafening, every group or table seemed to be competing to hear each other.What a disappointing outcome, we will meet the same friends somewhere else next time. How places change, not always for the better.

We turned up on Friday evening without a booking. Lots of cars in the car pRk but still plenty of room. The restaurant was quite busy but they quickly found us a table. The staff were numerous and we didn’t have to wait long for attention. Mixed menu, not full of old favourites but very enticing. Lots of new things to try or familiar dishes with a twist. Excellent food served promptly. Can’t stress enough how good the staff were, they made sure it was an enjoyable evening. A good evening out.

First time we have been since the Fox reopened, liked the new decor. We all enjoyed our meals with friendly service and thought the set lunch menu was very good value. My only niggles would be it was very noisy, the service was rather slow (both maybe due to a large party seated nearby) and the hanging lights over the table started flickering slightly. We'll certainly come again and give the Fox another whirl

First visit since having new owners. We were a party of 7 for a light lunch and dietary needs. The staff offered a vegan alternative with no trouble, they were very attentive, enthusiastic and professional. The fat chips were delicious and I enjoyed my smoked mackerel with sourdough. Missed the bread with olive oil and balsamic but had sourdough and butter instead. I for one will be returning.
