  “When arriving we were informed there was no roasts no beef no crab and a list of other things that were on the menu. I had steak pie which was ok ish my wife had roast turkey but had no Yorkshire pudding or pigs in blanket. My son had cod and chips which were fine. It wasn’t up to the usual standard. Slow service”

  “Had a lovely family lunch at The Fox & Hounds today. We brought our two children and they both loved their meals, which were fantastic value for money. We both had burgers which were really tasty too. There is loads of parking, a beautiful open garden and the welcome from Steve and the team was so personal and friendly. It is great to find somewhere that makes families feel so welcome. We will definitely be returning!”

  “Brilliant Sourdough sandwich x2 including chips. Had it before just getting better. Very dog friendly. Ale and cider very good including wines perhaps try Abbots next time old favourite of mine. We had pint of cider and large glass of white. Excellent value as well as quality. Less than £17 head in a cracking very well maintained establishment.”

  “Very disappointed in the new menu, in summary food quality not good and portion sizes small. I had the sticky hoisin duck for starter, dish had very little hoisin sauce, was in no way sticky and the meat was overcooked to the point of being chewy and difficult to eat. For main I had sea Bream with proscutio, fillet size was very small, veg consisted of 1 1/2 asparagus spears and a mountain of overcooked saute potato's. My wife had butternut squash curry and added chicken but there were no butternut pieces and the chicken was very meagre although the sauce was tasty. All in all not worth the money and we'll take our custom elsewhere.”

  “Excellent family lunch we will definitely be back! We visited The Fox & Hounds today with our two children and had such a lovely experience. The children's meals were excellent value for money and both children really enjoyed them, which is always a good sign! The adults both chose burgers, which were delicious and cooked perfectly. The service from Steve and the whole team was warm, friendly and genuinely personal, making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. There is plenty of parking, which makes visiting really easy, and the large open gardens are perfect for families with children to relax and enjoy. A fantastic family-friendly pub with great food, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. We are already looking forward to coming back again soon.”

  “We stopped off at the Fox & Hound without a reservation at around 17:00. The front of house staff were very helpful and seated the four in our party. An important note is, if you are following Google maps, be aware it will not take you to the main entrance, it directs you down a short but very narrow road, which looks to be an old disused way in, and there is plentiful free parking available. The establishment itself is very well presented. There appears to be a decent amount of seating and tables. We ordered our drinks, which arrived after a short wait. There was a little longer wait before our order for food was taken, and another wait until our starters arrived. This was a little surprising as it was quite quiet at that time. I had the soup of the day which was Sweet potato. It was ok, but I needed to add salt as to my taste it was a little bland. We had a longer waiting for our mains to arrive, I am guessing this was because it was getting very busy with dinners. When the mains arrived they were very well presented and very tasty. The only disappointment for me was my stake in the mixed grill was medium, when I had asked for it to be rare. We did have a little annoyance with flies, but it was an exceptionally hot day and obviously windows were open, so that was not really anyone's fault. Would i return to the Gox & Hounds? Yes definitely.”

  “Refreshingly delicious meal, worth the slight wait due to staffing troubles. Mixed grill was really flavourful and you could actually taste the meat. The crumble pie was also a delight and a good size as well.”

  “Had a wonderful meal here - so relieved to finally find a really good pub local to us. The place itself is lovely, really friendly and attentive service from Caitlin and boss Steve and the food was excellent, whilst not too pricey. No unwelcome service charges automatically added to the bill either, unlike a certain other thatched pub not far from here. Well done guys. Just don't get too busy!”

  “A lovely little country pub in Wimborne. The food was absolutely divine, well presented. Service was a little bit slow as they was really busy, but our Service still made sure that we was okay. Would definitely visit again if in the area.”

  “We visited the Fox and Hounds in Wimborne for the first time in years, hoping things might have improved, but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. We paid £17 each from the regular menu (not the lunch special), so we expected a decent standard of food. Sadly, the portions and quality didn’t match the price. The fish and chips were particularly poor, just 10 chips on the plate, and the mushy peas amounted to barely a spoonful. I ordered the salmon fish cake with chips, but it contained very little salmon and was quite underwhelming overall. We raised our concerns with a staff member, but were told this is their standard portion size. They did offer an extra portion of chips, but that completely missed the point, the issue was the overall value and quality, not just needing more chips. It’s a shame, as we had hoped for a better experience after not visiting for years. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.”
