Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly praise the fish and chips and Sunday roast at The Fox House, with the fish singled out as "the nicest fish I had for a long time" and the lamb roast noted for generous portions. Close behind, the setting draws consistent comment, a rustic building on the edge of the Peak District with views reviewers call brilliant and picturesque, well suited to groups and dogs alike. Service comes up in nearly every review as friendly and attentive, with staff described as multitasking across breakfast, lunch and dinner. A few notes temper the praise: one diner found the roast's cauliflower cheese underdone and the mash bland despite the good portion size, and another mentioned the kitchen was out of a number of items with food arriving a little under temperature, though still tasty. Reviewers describe returning for the atmosphere and the food together, with one recalling a Father's Day lunch where staff continued serving attentively through a full shift change.

“Wonderful place! Beautiful setting and building. Out of stock of a number of items, but the food was tasty, if a little under temperature. Very friendly staff and decent waiting time. Great music choices too, would come again!”

“Had lunch. Food and wine were good and the service by Jack and Jess was helpful and friendly. A very enjoyable and relaxing meal with some good chats with Jack and Jess. It was a quiet time so we were able to enjoy the atmosphere of this picturesque hotel and restaurant to the full.”

“I've organised a meal for a group of us and everything was spot on. The food was delicious and the service was brilliant. Annabelle was looking after us, she was very friendly and she was making sure that we humans and the dogs are comfortable and happy. We were told that Henri, Monae and Chris were our chefs and I wanted to say that everyone loved the food. I had fish and chips and it was the nicest fish I had for a long time! Thank you everyone!”

“Really enjoyed the food at Fox House. Everything came out fresh, full of flavour and the portions were just right. You can tell they put care into the food and nothing felt rushed or average. There was a good variety on the menu, so it was easy for everyone to find something they liked. I'd happily come back again and would definitely recommend giving it a try.”
