Fox And Hounds Pub Menu
Depending on when you visit, there are a variety of different menus to choose from. The lunch menu is a trimmed down version of the main menu, but the prices are slightly cheaper with discounts on starters and desserts.
The portion sizes on the lunch menu don’t appear to be trimmed down however, offering good value for money.
For the younger guests, there is a separate menu and on a Sunday a menu featuring Sunday roasts.
The choices are plentiful on each menu, with items such as traditional burgers, fish and chips, scampi and gammon. If you are looking for something a little different, the lunch time open sandwiches look very tempting as well.

Our Experience
With restrictions still in place, we visited for lunch sitting in the beer garden. The weather was kind to us, and we felt as though there was plenty of space despite the customers that seemed to arrive in a steady flow
On arrival we were given the choice of a menu, or ordering via the Greene King Pub app. I find ordering via an app very convenient as you don’t have to wait for a server to spot you are looking for something. This is a great idea whether restrictions are in place or not.
We opted for the lunch menu as we did visit for lunch. The menu offers plenty of choice with clear labels for dietary requirements. Our drinks arrived very quickly after ordering and paying, and the food not long after.
With an order of burger and chips and scampi, we had opted for traditional pub food, and found the portions to be huge. I could barely eat all of mine.
We found all the staff to be welcoming and helpful. There was always someone around if we needed them, yet we were left to enjoy our meal and drinks in peace which I liked.
After leaving, we both definitely said we would return again for another meal.
