We have had several meals at The Fox over the last two years and have never been disappointed. The staff are very friendly and they are very compliant with Covid requirements even though the government have lifted restrictions. I was very happy to hand sanitise, take temperature and wear a mask. They obviously are very assiduous in sanitising the tables between reservations. Unfortunately, the products used react with the varnish on the wooden tables and leave an unpleasant sticky residue. It would be great if they could cover the tables with a sheet of glass which would be easy to keep clean and would not be sticky. It is so bad that the cutlery actually sticks to the surface of the table. However, that is just a little niggle which pales into insignificance when you taste the food. Unfailingly delicious and generous portions should ensure that The Fox has many satisfied diners. Yesterday I had the pork wrapped in Parma ham with sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese and parmentier potatoes. The combination of flavours was superb and I can’t wait till the next time. My only suggestion, other than glass on the tables, would be for a smaller portion of fish and chips. My husband has little appetite and the large portions over face him. A Pensioner’s Portion would be very welcome and would help with food waste as well. All in all The Fox is a great place to meet friends and sample gorgeous food. Compliments to the chef and staff and I can’t wait till the next time.
