About The Fox House Holmfirth
On Flint Lane in Holmfirth, The Fox House is a gastropub and restaurant with a menu that runs from a curried lentil cottage pie to lamb, burgers, and Calfs Liver. Chips arrive in mini metal frying baskets, and onion rings are ordered as an extra side rather than coming with the burger. Sunday roast is served, and the room fills quickly on Sundays. Reservations are required. A private dining room accommodates groups, and wedding breakfasts are hosted with a three-course menu chosen in advance. Dogs are welcome throughout.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast draws repeated praise, with diners calling it sensational and a good deal, and the calf's liver and pie also singled out as standouts. Weddings and private events come up consistently too, with several parties describing the wedding breakfast experience and staff support as faultless and above expectations. Everyday service is generally described as attentive, friendly and professional. However, value and consistency are recurring sticking points: one diner found the curried lentil cottage pie starter-sized at nineteen pounds with sides sold separately, another called portions at a "fine dining" style menu outrageously small with an overcooked burger and everything garnished in chicory, and a third had a dessert missed entirely and waited an extra thirty five minutes for the bill, though a glass of wine was removed from that bill as compensation. A couple of visits also mention loud music or a lack of atmosphere. Steak was noted as not great by one reviewer, while salmon was called good by the same.

“Fine dining? More like style over substance. Very disappointed. A long way to go for an overcooked burger, miniature portions and everything garnished with chicory. The chips served in mini metal frying baskets. The portion sizes are outragesly small. The place has no atmosphere. Fine dining??? I don't think so. Or more importantly, Why? Won't be back again. Bring back the old style and menu.”

“Incredible experience. We hosted our wedding breakfast at The Fox House in May and the whole experience was faultless. Tina and Kelly were fantastic, their support and guidance was brilliant. Everything was delivered way over expectations and looked beautiful. The food is great, the service is great and the setting is beautiful. HIGHLY recommend for weddings or other occasions”

“Had high expectations for this place. The food was nice and fairly priced. However the fact that it was quite the service was slow and a desert was missed. Had a check back happened this would have been sorted but it wasn’t so one of the party members went without as we couldn’t see the staff. We asked for the bill which took a further 35 minutes to arrive and that is because we had to ask for it again. However the manager did remove a glass of wine from the bill to compensate for the mishap which was fair. Had to see what it would be like if it was actually busy. Overall good.”
