We wanted a joyful wedding reception with excellent food and certainly weren't disappointed. We had our wedding reception at The Fox and Hounds after our ceremony at Place House Hall. The room looked fantastic and was very private for the whole afternoon. Bianca was very flexible about our menu; all of the food arrived swiftly and hot so that 28 people where able to eat together. We had so many compliments about the room, food and service. The cheese and hazelnut souffle and venison where huge hits. Thank you Bianca and James for our fun, happy and delicious wedding reception.

The cheese souffle was not great, very stodgy pudding texture sat in a bowl of sauce. Mentioned to the staff but no apology.Would not recommend this starter
The roast beef was very good!
The chicken was very good
Very boney turbot but good taste
Generous portion sizes
Felt a bit rushed to leave at the end by staff but overall a good Sunday lunch

Truly one of the best places to dine in the UK.
I started with the minestrone soup, while my husband had the tuna tataki. For our main, we shared a delicious duck dish, followed by profiteroles for dessert. Every dish was fantastic, made with top-notch ingredients.

We also grabbed some focaccia to go, which was incredibly tasty.

The customer service was friendly and quick. I highly recommend a visit, We’ll definitely be returning!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Food is so hit and miss here.

The basics such as seasoning, food temperature, portions, flavour, vary each time we visit. It’s a shame because I’ve had some lovely meals here but it’s got to the point where it’s pot luck whether the food is good.

For the price you pay it has the reach those standards more consistently.

The staff and owners are lovely and the service and drinks are always great but there needs to be some adjustments in the kitchen.
