I would highly recommend LuxStone and Neil. I went on Neil's Stone Carving Experience having never worked in stone and found Neil's expertise incredibly inspiring and his teaching style to be very approachable and in depth. We were shown examples of highly skilled Masonry work by Neil and his Apprentices and we then worked on an A4 sized limestone slabs and
chiseled our designs with the guidance of Neil. We were provided with a very nice light lunch freshly made from a local cafe and Neil was friendly and enthusiastic throughout the day. I left feeling satisfied that I had learnt many things about working in Stone and I will continue to work in Stone. Many thanks Neil.

Arrived 2 hours early as overseas relatives were really feeling the cold, front of service gave us seating by a roaring fire and although they were extremely busy got us our table an hour early. Food as ever was amazing. We live an hour away but this is one of our top places to eat.

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!

Food OK, small menu though. Prices OK.
But I don't expect right wing politics from staff ! I was dismayed with the snooty woman who after all is " just a waitress". Just not used to such obvious political persuasion when eating my chips.
