  “Pub is looking tired externally and could do with refurbishment but the staff were excellent - helpful and welcoming. Prices are a bit like DFS, you wouldn't pay full price as it's expensive but there's a regular discount code available and we had 40% off mains.”

  “Pub was initially welcoming, however when I first walked in I felt intimidated due to the volume of me staring at me. Drinks came fast however when I ordered I wanted fish and sea food however I was told that there wasn’t any so slightly disappointing. Over good football was on I do recommended.”

  “Thank you Tom and your team for a great lunch! Pub was clean and tidy which started our experience off great. I went for a chicken and bacon salad which was delicious. Highly recommend”

  “As we had a leaflet offering 40% discount on meals we thought we'd give it a go. Now I know most pubs do discounted food to get people in so I wasn't expecting it to be haute cuisine, but the menu is surprisingly varied. Sadly, they had no steaks available which was a shame on a Tuesday, so we both picked fish and chips as neither of us fancied a burger or chicken. The burger options are quite good and there were some appealing starters on the menu. The F&C arrived very quickly. Big pieces of cod in 'shiny' batter that was crispy-ish. It was very hot which is always good. Basic chips which I think were the thick steak chips you get in a bag. They just didn't seem to be real chips. The fish was not bad at all but the batter was a bit soft instead of being crispy. The accompanying mushy peas were strangely very solid and lumpy and not smooth or creamy. The small pot of tartar sauce tasted a bit weird. Overall, the food was quite good value with 40% knocked of the price but I didn't think it was worth the full price. It's fairly quiet inside the pub which is bigger than it looks from outside. It's dog friendly which is nice but my main criticism is that it's very gloomy inside unless you sit in the benches in the front or under a few of the well lit tables. We had to settle for a gloomy table this time. Hats off to the staff who made us feel very welcome. I expect we'll go again and try for a steak next time. Little update. We went again on Mother's Day. Absolutely super visit. We were seated immediately and although the food took an age to arrive it was hot and really fresh. Hats off to the super staff who were lovely. 💕”

  “We visited on Saturday for a quick lunch as we had a 40% off voucher. We ordered some drinks, then when ordering food later, we were told that there was an hour wait on food, which is understandable since there was rugby on. We decided to still give it a go, but were then told that they couldn't accept the voucher on mother's day (fair enough) or the day before (not fair enough). So given both of these things together, we decided to go elsewhere. I'm giving it a few stars because the staff were nice, but the thing that really makes me not want to go back to this place is that a pint of lager is £7. I know times are tough in the hospitality industry, but that's too much.”

  “A great visit, quiet in the evening that I visited. The lady serving was very friendly and polite. All the bar and restaurant areas were very clean and tidy and spacious. I never ordered food, so can't comment on that. These is a car park on-site with wheelchair spaces next the entrance. The last time I visited was over 15 years ago and everything was as good, if not better than I remembered. I'll update the review on my next visit after I've tried the food here. Guests who ordered food appeared to enjoy it and all that I saw being taken to the table looked excellent. Well find to the staff that work here, keep up the good work. The Fox and Hounds is highly recommended in the Whitchurch area.”

  “We decided to visit the Fox & Hounds on a Friday night which was extremely busy. I must say though that the atmosphere was great , not too much of a wait at the bar and the food when ordered was served in an acceptable time and cooked perfectly. Credit to the staff and we will visit again.”

  “The staff were friendly. The atmosphere was buzzing in the garden on a Saturday afternoon. They had a good selection of gins. For the price the food was good - the lasagne felt good value for money. The pudding was slightly overcooked at the base - tasty otherwise.”
