Customer Review Summary

Diners return most often for the Sunday roast, called reasonably priced though "reassuringly expensive," well presented and well cooked, alongside the homemade Steak & Ale Pie and a halloumi burger praised for its coleslaw and thick-cut, crispy chips with fluffy insides. Close behind is the setting: a family-run pub directly on the Basingstoke Canal, with outdoor tables, a small children's play area, and a good selection of ales on tap. Several mention the fish and chips and daily specials as tasty and reasonably priced, and the kids' menu is described as thorough and well priced. One detailed review flags slow, unattentive service, with drinks taking a long time to arrive and young staff seen chatting by the specials board instead of checking on tables, though the same reviewer still praised the food. Multiple reviewers advise booking ahead, especially for weekend roasts, since tables fill up quickly.

    “We have visited The Fox & Hounds a few times now and always enjoy the food. The menu has a great selection, and it is a lovely spot in the summer, especially when you can sit outside near the canal. It’s a very pleasant place to spend an afternoon. Just a note that booking is advisable for weekends as it can get popular.”

  • Thomas Harris
    “Wonderful family owned pub near to the canal. The food and service were superb, other pubs should take note on how to run an amazing establishment. The servers were swift and professional, and the owner super friendly. A lovely location near to the canal and one of the best coffee machines I’ve seen in a pub setting. Can’t wait to come back. Very reasonable prices as well.”
