    Had a great Sunday lunch here yesterday, I had veggie roast, my hubby had beef and we had some nibbles sitting in the sunshine in the garden beforehand. Despite being very busy for Mother’s Day, the service was great, friendly and very accommodating. The roasts were yummy, coming with a large bowl of cauli cheese and a great big boat of gravy on the side, love it when you don’t have to ask for more gravy! We will be returning.

    We had a lovely lunch at The Fox and Hounds with our parents for an early Mothers day celebration. The food was fabulous and the service was excellent! We love this pub and will be returning soon for another visit.
