Most Disliked
Some guests mention that peak hours can lead to longer wait times, especially during dinner on weekends. While the atmosphere is lively, it may not suit those seeking a quiet dining experience. A few patrons noted that the evening can feel crowded during busy periods, particularly on Saturday nights. Limited dessert options were also highlighted by some visitors who hoped for more sweet indulgences to complement their meals. While Fox & Grapes offers a great overall experience, reservations during peak times are a must to avoid disappointment.

Absolutely incredible. Went for our anniversary tea ( 19/12/24)The Fox has just reopened under the management of Craig and Jo, just wow. The pub was bustling and busy, the staff were smiling and attentive. The food was incredible. We went for Nachos and Chicken strips, mains were proper home made lasagne and steak and ale pie. Too full for pudding but went in to the bar for a drink after, again bustling and smiling faces, the pub was cosy and warm. 10 out of 10 both of you. See you over Christmas

If I could give 10 stars, i would! 😊. I ordered the ribeye and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. The other food was lovely too. Service was very friendly and the young girl was very personable and great with our daughter. I can highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner!
