About The Fox Pub & Dining Keston
The Fox Pub & Dining Keston is a gastropub on Heathfield Road in Keston, where the back of the building opens onto a garden and terrace used for celebrations and group meals. Dogs are welcome in that outdoor area, and the menu covers Sunday roasts alongside pizzas and other pub dishes. Gluten-free options are available, and the kitchen adjusts dishes where it can to accommodate dietary requests. An automatic service charge is added to the bill. The combination of a garden, terrace seating and a pub dining format suits both casual meals and larger gatherings.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast draws the most consistent praise, with several diners calling the food delicious and the team incredibly friendly across the terrace and outdoor seating. A few warn the experience can fall short: one diner describes a server as miserable, another calls the Sunday lunch stingy with wilted greens and peas. Most still return.

“Had Sunday lunch here. This is a lovely pub, with a wonderful garden and terrace in the back. All the staff we encountered were friendly and professional. Had a roast which was OK, the bread sauce was a gloop of soggy bread and far from a sauce. The veg selection was the poorest I’ve ever seen on a roast, a few wilted spring greens with peas (don’t put peas on a roast!) and undercooked carrots. Just adding a parsnip would make a difference, it just came across as stingy. I would suggest try use gravy jugs that don’t nearly scold you when you’re pouring the gravy on to your plate! When paying nearly £24 for a roast dinner it needs to be perfect, sadly they’ve not yet got it quite right. I would recommend going for a drink but think twice about eating here as the prices they charge doesn’t represent value for money.”

“The pizza and atmosphere was good but, wow, the young chap who served us was absolutely miserable”

“We had an absolutely wonderful time when we visited the Fox in Keston as a group of friends for a birthday celebration. We sat outside on the beautiful terrace, had a fantastic meal and were so very well looked after by the amazing team who went above and beyond. Thank you so much to Gail and the team for making this visit just as good as our first. We shall be back.”

“Dear Management, I am writing to share some feedback regarding our recent dining experience at The Fox. On the positive side, the atmosphere was very nice, and I am pleased to say that the food was extremely tasty. However, our dining experience was unfortunately overshadowed by our server, Paul. Regrettably, he was exceptionally unwelcoming and displayed a very poor demeanor throughout our meal. Not once did he come over and ask if we were enjoying the food. Customer service is a crucial part of the hospitality industry, and his attitude made us feel uncomfortable, leaving us with the impression that he did not want to be there. Compounding this, an automatic service charge was added to the bill. While we appreciate that service charges are customary, it is frustrating to pay extra when the standard of service falls so far short of expectations. I hope you can take this as constructive feedback to address with your front-of-house team, as the quality of the food deserves to be matched by welcoming service!”
