About The Foxhound
A marquee alongside The Foxhound adds seating beyond the bar, including for customers bringing dogs along. This pub on Hot Ln in Stoke On Trent works as a village local in Biddulph Moor, with the landlords usually on site and talking to customers. The bar keeps real ales on, up to four at a time, alongside local beer, wine and a few gins. Food and drink come to the table via waiting staff rather than counter ordering. Sunday lunches are served and need to be booked. The pub reopened after roughly two years closed, with kitchen work keeping food off the menu for a stretch of that return. Dog policy inside the building is reported inconsistently, so the marquee is the reliable option for anyone arriving with one. Doors open daily, evenings only.

Customer Review Summary
The friendly welcome is what reviewers raise most, with repeated praise for the staff, landlords and owners, and one describing it as the friendliest pub they have been to. Close behind is the ale, four real ales on at one visit plus local beer, gins and wine, all at prices several call reasonable. Sunday lunch draws its own following: one diner singles out a very tasty roast chicken, though with a few too many potatoes across roast, new and mashed and a wish for more gravy, while another mentions a stuffed pepper and a huge slice of lemon drizzle. Dogs come up often and inconsistently, with some reporting dog friendly indoors and out, one seated in the marquee with a pooch, and one noting a no dogs indoors policy. A reviewer visiting after the two year reopening notes the kitchen was being done up with no food available, and another passes on that Sunday lunches need booking.

“Visited here twice during a weekend break; the pub has a great atmosphere and very friendly staff and owners would definitely come back if I was in the area. Dog and toddler friendly.”

“Lovely homely pub, that is the beating heart of the Biddulph Moor Village. A warm welcome and reasonably priced drinks await anyone who visits.”
- Keith
“Friendly local pub with four real ales on plus plenty of other options. No food available as of 1/8/25, apparently doing up the kitchen so I guess when you’re here you need to update with another review. Nice people, nice well presented local pub. Would definitely recommend. Cheers”
