We arranged a last minute lunch at The Fox today, and were delighted by the excellent quality of the food and service. Being longstanding customers, we have always been impressed by The Fox, but it seems to be even better than before.

Excellent Roast Beef for lunch today, followed by the best Chocolate Fondant with vanilla ice cream. Great social distancing measures in place but retained a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

We ate dinner here last night having been persuaded by friends to step out of our front door. Food was delicious - we very much enjoyed our choices from the restricted menu. I understand that this currently changes each week. I actually think that the choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 puddings is a good way to go....... It obviously allows the kitchen to produce high quality dishes. Service was friendly and welcoming without being over the top.
The most reassuring Covid measure was the lack of people .....or perhaps I should say that each service is restricted to just 40 people. Bookings are staggered to ensure that there is not a great rush of people arriving at the same time.
It seemed a little silly that the hand santiser dispenser was placed behind a placard on an easel in the entrance lobby. It was not obvious to see, it was not easy to reach and we were not asked to use it before entry.
One small issue - We were seated beneath a speaker for the sound system - it was a little intrusive and we found it difficult to hear each other ( we were a group of just 4 so not an anticipated difficulty)

This was our lunch stop en route to a mini staycation in Long Melford. What a good choice! The food and service were excellent and at £20 for two courses or £25 for three (for those with much bigger appetites than ours) also fantastic value. Surprised how empty the pub was, but then again it is only Monday. I do hope that plenty of others are supporting this business at such a difficult time for the hospitality industry. Encouraged by the high level of adherence to Covid secure regulations.

What can I say... The staff are amazing, friendly, chatty & personable.
Stefan, the owner, a joy to see & talk to.
And the garden at the rear in summer... a wonderful place.
A must for all.

We went to the secret garden on the recommendation of friends. It is a tea shop / coffee house during the day and on Friday and Saturday evening it's a quality French Restaurant
The menu is simple and I'm told it changes 6 times a year, with a Starter, main and desert special from the board. I had a scallops to start followed by a sublime venison pie. The wine list contains wines you don't usually see in the UK, but I feel they are about 10% over priced for the area. Don't get me wrong good quality at a price. All of this left me too full to try a desert, so I sat while my partner tucked into a chocolate mouse she said was every bit as good as she had eaten.
Decor is a little quirky but overall teh experience was a good one, and we will defiantly be going back.

The food here is really good - simple but honest. It was a cold day and the place was very chilly. Beware if you are tall as there are low beams everywhere

Quirky and very French , great food and value. Just wish there is more than one meat main dish on the daily specials. This sells out quite quickly and if you don't fancy the vegetarian option it can be embarrassing when you leave?
