"I am in this village twice a week and in need of a regular spot to eat lunch and do some work while my daughter is with one of her tutors. Being close by and quaint looking it looked like the perfect spot. I had lunch there today and boy what a place. It will be my first and last visit. The landlord is a bit of a ‘John Cleese’ figure with some very weird ideas on what is, or is not, acceptable when it comes to food. I ordered the gammon, fried eggs and chips for £10.50. A little top heavy price for a simple pub meal but I ordered it anyway. When it came the eggs were nicely cooked and sat on a not particularly big piece of gammon. A tiny piece of red onion, a slice of tomato and a sprig of basil were to one side of the gammon together with some chunky chips. I asked the lady that brought the food (also the chef) for some vinegar and was told that they do not serve/offer vinegar. The chef was clearly the wife of the landlord and she actually said to me “my husband is a bit weird’, which I had to agree with. If you serve chips you should surely also offer vinegar? I found the chunky chips to be of a very poor quality, even by a frozen chip standard, which without even vinegar to help mask the quality a bit was not great. The small piece of gammon was a little tough but edible. Needless to say my lunch was not as enjoyable as it should have been. As I was about to leave the landlord came by and asked if everything was ok. I said it would have been more enjoyable if they served vinegar with their chips. His response was to give me his name, tell me it was his pub and “if you want vinegar then go to a fish and chip shop.” What an utterly ridiculous comment. I have now found another local pub that does not hold such ridiculous opinions. I am sure they will be happy to take my £35-£40 per week average spend......,,"

We have just had our Saturday takeaway from the Fox and Hounds. Can't recommend highly enough. Fantastic food and great value. Super efficient service in these challenging times. Will definitely be ordering again

What a great pub.Food is excellent and portions are plentiful.Now they have Beavertown Neck Oil on draft and I haven’t found a pub that can compete with their prices.Well worth a cosy night around their large open fire.

The landlord at the Fox and Hounds has got safety well sorted face mask, hand sanitisers, social distancing. But still great food cooked fresh by Sue and delivered to our table with a smile. Good beer, open fire and good company even at a distance. The only real pub left in the village.

This pub is such a lovely traditional pub with a log fire and furnishings harking back to the 70s. The food is home-cooked (no boil in the bag stuff here! , the chips were excellent and the portions generous. The two rump steaks that we had were both very tender and cooked well. The master chicken was also excellent as was the liver and bacon. We finished off with a very large portion of delicious Eton mess. Prices are very reasonable, great value and the service was excellent. We will be going back!

Out for a Sunday walk on a beautiful, dry Sunday morning. Thought it would be a lovely place to stop for a couple of drinks. Stopped abruptly at the door to be told muddy boots weren't acceptable. I had ensured I had NO mud on my boots (my partner was wearing trainers). I explained, only to be told still too muddy for them he couldn't even see the condition of them. Not as if it is fitted out with deep pile carpets. Was offered table service outside, by which time we were on our way to somewhere more hospitable. No wonder the pub was empty!!!!

Visited the village on an impulse, having lived and worked in the village 52 years ago, and this pub was one of my 3 locals. Had to pop in for old times sake happy memories of why we came pub on an incline so if car wouldn’t start, you could just roll it down the hill and let the clutch out! Immediately felt at home whilst everything neat and tidy it seemed hardly to have changed from how I remember it. Spent a very, very pleasant hour chatting to a “regular” who could also remember those days, and attended to a wonderful bar maid (landlords daughter? . If she sees this, remember you need to check out Stella Prince on Spotify only aged 18 but an amazing singer/songwriter. An unexpected pleas...

Had a couple of drinks here yesterday lunchtime with my elderly dad. We both thought what a wonderful pub! Just how a traditional pub used to be. No piped music, no gaming machines but a real log fire, beams, carpet traditional pub furniture. A really pretty, immaculately kept proper pub where customers chat to each other. My dad is an ex publican he absolutely loved this pub we both wished it was where we live. We met the landlord had a chat to him contrary to the negative comments people have put on here about him we found him very friendly! Next time I am visiting my dad I will definitely bring him again have a sandwich along with our drinks which is another thing dad commented on saying...
