We decided to visit here as half way between our friends and us and we love Gusto Pronto restaurants
We were warmly welcome by Amma the front of house Manager
The weather was miserable outside but it was warm indoors
We found the menu choice very good for our tastes
We had mackerel pate and ham hock bonbons starters and the bonbons were very tasty
Onto mains and again very good with the steak and brewshed pies along with really well cooked pink duck breasts and a steak cooked exactly to request. The accompanying sauces on any dish worked well and we like the creativity re the potatoes and other vegetables
Amma and the team looked after us really well, attentive but not over bearing.
We recommend this place

Booked a table as we had done a lot of research into the local pubs and the Fox seemed to be a good choice based on previous comments.
We arrived about 30 minutes before the table was booked so we could enjoy a drink before dinner. There were only five tables throughout the restaurant being used besides us and no one drinking in the bar area.
Three young girls were working the bar and restaurant. We were brought the menu, which we had looked online anyway, but as the food was being brought out, I thought that the pie listed looked tiny for £18, with a small cup of American style fries. Then we noticed that there were signs all around the premises stating that no cash is accepted throughout the business. I had cash with me and my intention was to pay in cash, so was disappointed with this.
As one of the young girls went past us, I mentioned that we wanted to pay cash and she reiterated to me that cash was not acceptable. I stated that I believed that it was illegal not to accept tender with the monarch's head on it and she said that as many people state the same, she had researched it and found that it only applies if that is the only form of payment if the person doesn't have any other means of payment. The way this was enforced, made us feel uncomfortable and we soon realised why there were so few people in the premises on a Saturday night. We decided to cancel our table and go elsewhere so I approached the bar to settle the bill and was more than gobsmacked at the cost of two large glasses of wine and a bottle of cider at £31.50. Wine was £12.50 a glass, more than I have paid in parts of London.
The owners need to understand that we are in a cost of living crisis and catering for 5 tables on a Saturday night doesn't work out economically, overcharging for what I considered to be a lower than average amount of food, which I'm grateful that we didn't have, then charging around 50% more for a glass of wine than other pubs in the area.It's no wonder it was so empty!

Love The Fox, have been many times, food always good quality and staff friendly and helpful as ever. Lunch on this occasion did not disappoint.
Wheelchair accessibility: Very good as everything on one level from entrance, all through the restaurant and to toilet facilities. One of the key reasons for visiting this time, very few places have such easy wheelchair accessability.

Great food. The pork chop was enormous and the sirloin steak was cooked perfectly.
Can't wait until we go back again.

I’m delighted to have found The Fox for a Sunday lunch - simply the best I’ve had in ages.
Opted for the beef, which was delivered on a warmed plate beautifully pink and not swimming in gravy. Roast potato’s that were fluffy and crispy, clearly not having been sat around all day.
Lastly a selection of fresh vegetables - the cauliflower cheese was to die for !
The restaurant is very spacious and people are only dining so it’s a peaceful environment in which to enjoy a superb Sunday lunch.

Excellent fish and chips for a weekday lunch. Lovely stylishly decorated dining room, pleasant atmosphere, very friendly staff and well designed and interesting menu. Will definitely be coming back to try some of the other really nice dishes I saw on the menu. Just sorry my mum paid and messed up tipping on the machine and then we didn’t have enough change for a proper tip sorry!

Popped into The Fox for lunch half-way round a Sudbury circular walk. So impressed. The food was excellent. Plenty of choice on the menu and specials. Thoughtfully presented and generous portions. Carafes of wine available and Brewshed beers. The pub itself is well laid out and the staff friendly and attentive. I cannot recommend it enough.

The vegan menu was disappointing. There were two choices as a main dish - Cauliflower steak or Gnocchi. These have been the only choices on the menu for over six months. As I don't like Gnocchi, I did try it, as a change from the cauliflower steak, but ended up only eating the peas, I am fed up of only having one choice each time I visit this restaurant while the non-vegans have at least six choices, so can have a different meal. This is really disappointing and means that I am reluctant to return even though the food is well cooked and tasty, and will be looking for other places to eat where the vegan menu is not an after thought.

Relaxed vibe, great choices on the menu, delicious wines.
We went with another couple and even though it was pouring we sat outside in one of their covered booths while we waited for our table and enjoyed a bottle...Nice to be outside!
As I said the food is really good. Two courses was plenty for us. I had fish, the others had various meats. There was a veggie option (which I nearly went for).
Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
