The Fox and Hounds is a gem! The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The kitchen is brilliant, serving up delicious meals that are clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is spot on – lively enough to be exciting, but still cozy and relaxed. Whether you're after a casual pint or a full meal, this pub ticks all the boxes. Highly recommended!
