The Fox Inn - Speisekarte

Much too salty. Salty bread, salty beans, salty crust on chicken pie. Hake on a sea of red mush unappealing. Pie a bit too dry. No sign of a Manager. Not impressed and will not return. At least the prices were not outrageous but standard of cooking below par. Good beer.

Read into Gile's comments as you want but the current set up has destroyed the Fox as a local village pub community centre into a DFL Restaurant. Locals are well p*ssed off with this the landlords (Donnington Brewery) are apparently being informed of their new tenants antics.

The food was good and the service was quick and friendly. They have put too many tables in so it was very cramped. It is 'dog friendly ' dog overrun would be better. Being next to a black dog which would not sit still and constantly moving about and wagging its tail all over me is neither hygienic or conducive to a relaxed meal. There were at least 8 dogs in the pub. Would not return. Speisekarte ansehen

Well, as far as I’m concerned, The Fox lived up to the press from Giles. Lunching solo, the staff were friendly and attentive. I had the Iberico pork in romesco sauce with grilled scallions and garlic and chilli broccoli as a side. All perfectly cooked and delicious with a pint of Donningtons. Perhaps it helped booking for midday and being the first to arrive. I will be going there again.

The whole experience, from the welcome, to the food was just exceptional. Had my parents visiting and enjoyed a spot of lunch due to them being Father Brown enthusiasts. The ploughmans was spot on and Dad was super happy that they us ham egg and chips on the menu. This place is great, for friends, family, dining or just having a few beers in the garden (great selection of Kay and cask). Service was fantastic, I would highly recommend!

Four of us went for Sunday lunch at 2.15 pm. We have known this pub for 40 years but not visited under this management . It was busy. The main menu was available but for roasts they offered chicken belly pork and beef. We were told they had run out of beef!! Not a good start. We had chicken and pork. Very ordinary and pork was poor. Then after an hour a party of 12 arrived and sat very near us. They had beef!!!! Presumably pre booked. When we booked our table we were not offered to pre book beef. It was not a good value eating place. Speisekarte ansehen

Having been 4-5 times now, either for a few jars or their food, I have been bowled over by the Fox. As part of the owners growing empire of Cotswolds pubs, combating the 'boujee London ' takeover of the area, the Fox lives up to all of Giles ' comments. Would eat all of the bar snacks and starters, especially the rarebit every day. The larger than life head chef has added mega new food as the seasons have moved on. The staff are exceptional, especially given the place is always buzzing. Would recommend to a friend or casual acquaintance.

We arrived, as per the booking, at 7pm for the special dinner, headlined on The Fox’s Instagram feed. Only thing was, the day’s special menu wasn’t being served until 8.30pm. Which it did not say would be the case on their IG page, neither did it say so on their website, nor that it had to be specially ordered. That was bad enough but then to be told, via a DM from the Fox when we gave feedback privately that I was incorrect that the information was there it wasn’t I realised that detail wasn’t their forte and the word sorry was not in their vocabulary. . We stayed nonetheless because we did not want to be a last minute let down for a small business. Also because we were offered a better tab...

We are lucky enough to live near the Lamb in Shipton and love it. Since the fox opened we have visited twice, the first for lunch a few weeks ago and it was lovely, (the owners were there at the time) but our most recent visit, which was an evening one was far from lovely. We booked last minute for an early supper. There appeared to be a discrepancy with the booking system and their own system which seemed to annoy the waitress and from then on we had the feeling she would rather we weren’t there. The service was slowish with only the one waitress attending to all the tables, it wasn’t packed but appreciate they may have had a busy lunch service, but she seemed harassed and instead of being...
