What a gem of a find! Lovely looking pub (exterior and interior). We received a warm and friendly welcome, bar maid can't help you enough! Good choice of drinks and food. We had a basket meal - burger and chips- delicious! And plentiful too. Can't wait to return 👍🏻

Third time this year that we have visited this pub as we love it here and the food has been pretty good. This time we came for Sunday Lunch. I chose the lamb which was the most expensive on the menu at £21 - loads of beautifully cooked veg but an absolutely tiny portion of meat which was really disappointing. My husband had the beef which looked much better value at around £17, plenty of slices. The staff are always most welcoming but this time my food was a let down ☹️

Vibrant on a Saturday night. Staff were very busy and not all our meals arrived at same time but that's the price you pay when a pub is buzzing with the sound of voices and live music. Highly recommended, will deffinitely be back next time we are out walking in the Penllyn area.

We had a lovely evening with our 20 month old, and while it can be difficult enjoying a meal with a toddler, the staff made us feel right at home and well looked after. The food was delicious especially the tempura prawns and the creamy lemon linguini. The chef was able to customise our toddler’s meal too to something we knew she would like.There’s a lovely cosy atmosphere and we can’t wait to come back.

The Fox is a lovely pub and well-decorated. The new owners have done a lovely job doing the place up. It is a lovely village pub and is well-supported by the locals. The place is a little loud and difficult to have a conversation with the people you are with because it is so loud in there. The food was wonderful and the service was good. The food was a little bit slow coming out of the kitchen, but worth the wait. Not a place we will go back to soon as it was just a little bit too loud, but I suppose it is good for the pub to be busy. It was a lovely atmosphere and a very clean environment. It has a lovely log burner in the restaurant side of the pub which does give off plenty of heat. If you haven't been there under the new owners it is well worth a visit. The only disappointment on the night was an idiot that thought they could park their car where ever they wanted and blocked the entrance to the pub car park, an inconsiderate person that should not have a driving licence, it stopped people entering or leaving the place for a good 15 minutes. This, by the way, was not the pub's fault just a very very inconsiderate person who obviously cannot drive properly or park properly.

First day back and what a fantastic pub it is! Great beers, friendly staff and even the trial run pie and chips were exactly what we needed, sat next to log the fire after a day in the cold. Will be back with friends and family, highly recommend!
