Our first visit to The Fox since reopening. We loved the food especially the big chips, the portions were generous. The staff are well trained and professional. If in Suffolk, do try the Crown at Hartest and One Bull, St Edmunds. You won’t be disappointed.

Foxes are generally associated with having smelly pee and going through bins, but none of that here. The food, staff and surroundings are excellent. Nice selection of local drinks.

We were quickly shown to a table and ordered drinks.
Table was nicely laid and had linen napkins.I had Haddock and Salmon Fish cakes my husband had Cottage Pie Fritters.
Fishcake looked good on presentation. Poached Egg on top was set in the middle not runny. Fishcake was very tasty though only browned on top and bottom, sides were white.Cottage Pie Fritters were good.Haddock for main course was delicious as were Peas. Chips were a bit of a disappointment as they were Potato Wedges with skin on not chips.
My husband had Suffolk Ham, chips and egg. Again Potato Wedges not chips. Ham was very thinly sliced.Water is served in a very attractive branded bottle.
I finished with a Peppermint Tea which was very good. My husband had a flat white which was served in a small glass. Difficult to hold as hot.Service was good.

This was our second time back and I’m so pleased we gave The Fox another chance. We ate at The Fox last autumn and we were left feeling a little underwhelmed, but this evening it was great the see the staff still as friendly and the food has improved!!
Love the selection of drinks, the cauliflower bhajis are yummy, the pork dish wasn’t dry and the pie was packed full of meat. Will be back soon!

Called in for a drink after a long walk with the dog, ended up staying for a few hours, enjoyed wonderful bar snacks and great beer. All the staff made us and Lexi feel very welcome so much so we booked a table for the Saturday evening, the food was delicious and even on a packed Saturday evening the staff all found time to chat. Next time we are visiting the area we will definitely pop in for beer and food.

A group of four of us had dinner here on Tuesday evening. Our table was booked for 6.15pm and the place was quite empty. By 7.30 it was buzzing! Three of us had the steak and ale pie which was delicious. Really tender meat, nice pastry and mashed potatoes and the gravy was yummy! It seemed a bit expensive at £14 but it was extremely filling and we didn’t have room for a dessert. I would only say, as constructive criticism, that it would have been nice to have more than one sort of vegetable on the plate. I know not everyone enjoys vegetables, but I really do! Staff were lovely and it was a good experience.

The GF and I used to come to The Fox under the previous owners. The food became a bit samey (which I am sure worked for their business) and the not being able to book became annoying when you couldn't get in and everywhere else was full.
We have been for Saturday Lunch and Sunday Lunch over the past two weekends and loved it. Last Saturday, we went for the three course option. The cottage pie fritters were excellent and the scotch egg was perfect.I had the pork with gremolata and it was excellent. Sunday Lunch today was a smaller affair (just the one course). For £15 the sirloin of beef with a huge yorkshire, extra gravy and veg was delicious. Although we did feel a little hungry after so perhaps some more potatoes would have been good.
Either way, really happy that the fox is back with a wider menu and bookings!

Stopped off here for lunch while on a walk in the area and was delighted by both the quality of the food and the service. £20 for starter and main was excellent value too. Only disappointment was that I'm unlikely to be back soon but hope that others head there over the next few months. We need places like this to not only survive but prosper.
