  “My husband and I called in to The Fountain over the bank holiday weekend. First time we've been. Such a lovely feel to the place. Nice, friendly atmosphere, staff were polite and helpful. We ordered some food, each of us had a sandwich and chips... Very nice. All round happy customers. 🙂”

  “Decent public house in Ingbirchworth. Visited this evening. On a Sunday they offer a 3 course for approx £29. I had the Prawn Cocktail which was nice but served with no bread. The Roast Beef dinner was excellent, great red cabbage and large yorkshire pud (see picture), dessert was vanilla cheesecake which was okay except the menu stated toffee sauce but the sauce hadn't been heated and was just jellified lumps. Hey ho everyone makes mistakes. Service was excellent and couldn't fault that. Warm and inviting inside the restaurant area, toilets cold but did have warm running water. I was with friends and we all enjoyed it so will be returning.”

  “"If you're looking for a proper Sunday roast, look no further than The Fountain. The Sunday dinner here is outstanding—everything from the roast potatoes to the rich gravy was spot on. The staff made us feel very welcome even though it was busy. Great value for money and a lovely cosy vibe.”

  “Had a fantastic birthday meal and family gathering for my Mums 85th birthday. We used the private dining room which was perfect. The food was fantastic, we had the various roast dinner options and the fish and chips. The service was spot on and they found the right balance of being attentive whilst leaving us to enjoy the food. Jack (The Manager) was on hand to ensure everything ran smoothly and we had everything we needed. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt welcome and well looked after. Would highly recommend !!!”

  “We attended Sunday lunch at the Fountain on 11/05/2025. Pre-booked mid week through the online booking service. Quick and easy to do, confirmation email received and sent. On arrival then front of house staff were responsive, polite and showed knowledge of the menu. We ordered 2 mains, slow cooked beef rump and free range chicken supreme. Both served with roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, honey-glazed roasted carrots and parsnips, creamy leeks,Tenderstem broccoli, a huge Yorkshire pudding, gravy. Service was timely and the quality was above standard pub fare. Local Farmers ale from Bradfield was my choice drink, very well kept. We cleaned our plates and could do no more! Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and will visit again very soon. The Fountain has recently updated the menu and has a new head chef and it certainly showed. The restaurant and bars are light and airy, the bars are dog friendly which is always a positive in our book. Outside, the beer garden area is clean and food is served to table. The garden was very busy at lunch time, perhaps not surprising during the hottest day of the year! There is ample parking to the side and on the road if needed. All in all we were impressed. Quality food at a good price in excellent surroundings. I have 2 very small comments which did not detract from the experience but worth comment. No one thought to ask if everything was Ok and paying the bill was difficult. No one came to table and with 5 staff behind the bar someone should really have noticed the small que waiting. That's all. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you.”

  “Booked a Sunday dinner here as all other local eateries were fully booked. We were told to be prompt as it was busy. However we were the first to order food and only another table was taken. Having said that the Sunday roast was very nice. We had duo of ham and sirloin beef. One ham was very fatty - end pieces, but I was impressed with the tasty vegetables and huge Yorkshire puddings. We were also pleased they accommodated for dogs as again another local eatery said they could only accommodate dogs outside! In Winter? I would recommend this establishment and the Sunday roast, sorry didn't have room for a dessert.”

  “The Sunday roast is not to be missed - absolutely stunning meat quality and the vegetables are flavoured and created with taste in mind - a credit to the chef. This really isn’t just a a standard Sunday roast. The gravy is lovely, we were early for our booking, accommodated as always with a smile. Jack is a credit to the Fountain team, understaffed when I was there last but didn’t falter at all in standards, customer service and of course a smile. 😊”

  “We came in for a meal after a walk round the reservoir. It had a lovely warm atmosphere and our dog was made very welcome. We didn’t book but there were some tables free. We perused the menu and gave the waiter our order. The food was freshly cooked and tasted delicious!! It was hearty and filling, and just what we needed after some fresh air!!”

  “Really great visit to the restaurant with only a couple of niggles thrown in to the mix. Food amazing, truly exceptional. Thought & care clearly put into the dishes and a true care from the chefs is apparent. Drinks reasonably priced, staff attentive to the drinks levels too, never a point where our drinks were left less than half full. Staff attentive at times when not fussing the dogs of other guests within the restaurant / bar area. Some hygiene issues around staff petting dogs and then proceeding to make drinks behind the bar. A little off putting when you are sat across from the bar. The last niggle was when the bill was brought over we said we would pay by cash, another waitress proceeded to come over and ask if it was cash or card. Once we said cash she stood there waiting for the payment, at this time we felt a little rushed and this point throughout the visit was the only time this was felt.”
