In November 2014, Kate G said about The Crown, Hartest
I eat at the Crown often and the food is a very high standard of quality. I'd nightly recommend going to the restaurant on a Wednesday as they do a fantastic deal where you buy a starter and main and get the dessert free- now this doesn't sound as impressive as it is, with the desserts you choose from a selection of ten and choose five. I was expecting the portion sizes to be rather small due to the fact I'd had a started and main (and the delicious cracking and apple sauce!) but the portions for the five desserts where regular/large sizes which I found rather overwhelming,
I ate a bit of each and can confirm the were absolutely delicious but wasn't able to finish so took a doggy bag home. I spoke to one of the fantastic waitresses and asked why the portion sizes were so huge and she explained that they wanted to give customers the chance to try the dessert menu. My only criticism would be to make the desserts slightly smaller as it's quite overwhelming,and after two other courses. The rice pudding is so delicious!I've also been to the crown and found that the burger was rather greasy with rather poor presentation but apart from that it is my favourite place to eat. The roosts are immense!
Very well priced and the staff are excellent! There's a huge garden area and the pub is child/dog friendly. You get a lovely country vibe whilst there and they have a fantastic,
Thank you very much, I'm sure I will be back soon.

We’re local, so were regular visitors under the previous owner. We know the Crown at Hartest, so had high expectations of the Fox under the new regime. And it was very good ! Familiar menu and wine list; good food, and efficient and attentive staff. What’s not to like ? We will certainly keep coming back 👍🏻

As a regular visitor to the fox under the previous owner I was a little unsure as to what it would be like. I didn’t need to worry, we went there on Saturday night 29.9.19 having pre-booked our table for four. We were greeted on arrival by a friendly staff who showed us to our table, our drinks order was taken and delivered to our table within a very short time. We all ordered different dishes so a good cross section of their menu was tasted. The service was good, the food across all three courses was excellent and the price was what I would have expected from a restaurant of this style. The new owner came to our table and introduced himself which was a really nice touch. I wish this family run restaurant all the best in making this establishment the best in the area, and as for the bad reviews, I suggest that you book your table and allow the business to show you what they are really about. We will again be regulars, and that makes me very happy.

What a great addition to the neighbourhood - since it opened we’ve already been 3-4 times and each time we’re taken care of brilliantly: as a large party, as a family with small children, and again as just a couple. Food is outstanding and the vibe is welcoming, relaxed and classy. Kids menu is only really appropriate for adventurous little eaters - none of your average fish fingers and mac and cheese on this menu! Overall, just love it, well done. Pork schnitzel, chicken salad and the cheesecake stand out in my memory. Definitely book though to avoid disappointment.

We spent a wonderful afternoon at The Fox and highly recommend it. The food was amazing and the staff and management were cheerful, competent, warm and friendly. The mussels were superb and our daughter described the sticky toffee pudding as the best ever. We selected a variety of main courses and each one was delicious and cooked to perfection. The team here deserve to do well. It’s obvious they care passionately about the diner experience.

My parent had surprised me with a visit and we had such a lovey meal here when they were up last time, we thought we’d go again and as they now had the spring menu we had to give it a try.
Well they didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing, service was brilliant and they were more then happy for my parents dog to come in too.When the next night came and with all the uncertainty at the moment with places not being open, we wasn’t sure what we going to do for dinner. Then we saw they had take away on offer. Well that was that was the best decision we’d made all day. Fish and chips all round and yet again it tasted amazing.
Feel this has now become our dinner spot for when my parents are around. We look forward to coming again.

First meal out since lockdown and it was fantastic! I’d been a bit apprehensive about going out but I needn’t have worried at all - the restaurant was spotless and the social distancing and hygiene measures they have in place really are excellent.
They’re working on a reduced menu at the moment - changing weekly - because of govt guidelines but there’s something for everyone and they also accommodated my dietary needs brilliantly (gluten free). The waiter was attentive and polite, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.
My friend and I had the beetroot and the ham hock scotch egg starters, sea bream and short rib mains (that beef was melt in the mouth and the rosti was unbelievably good), halloumi and truffle fries sides, and we shared a cheese board to finish. We also had drinks and coffees, and both felt that it was very reasonably priced.
Overall an excellent experience, I will definitely be booking again!

We visited for Sunday lunch on the first weekend after lockdown....and it was worth the wait! The service was exceptional, we felt very safe and the food was amazing (roast pork was perfect). Please visit, our local amenities need our support and you won’t be disappointed. We will be back!
