Great pub where the staff looked after us like old friends!

The Fox offers well looked after beers, a decent selection of wine and some tasty home cooked food which kept us in well into the night.

Don't come here expecting loud hellish music and shouty, pointy people, the atmospheres solely bustling conversation both over the bar and amongst the other tables.

After a couple of drinks we headed upstairs to a beautiful Victorian restaurant which was quieter than downstairs and offers table service. Thanks to Jo, our waitress who was prompt, friendly and attentive when required.

The menu is small but offered two or three tough choices, we enjoyed Jo's recommendation of home cured pork and a watermelon and mozzarella salad to start, which were fresh and appetising.

For mains my rib steak was tender and well seasoned. The hand cut chips were crispy and generous!! My partners Sole was well cooked and as requested they even removed the head and tails for her prior to its arrival.

With a decent bottle of wine and service we spent around £70 which for two courses each in terms of the quality and value for money seemed fair.

Fine dining its not; but a fine night out it certainly is!
