Delicious food. Service lets it down. Staff are nice and polite but further training needed as they are busy and you quickly get forgotten. Starters came quickly and mains but had to wait over an hour for them to take away the dishes despite being asked 4 times if we can order desert and needed the plates taken away. This place could be phenomenal if they just had a bit more care for their customers. It’s unpleasant waiting around for an hour + for a simple task of taking away dishes
Fantastic evening meal.
We’ve wanted to try The Fox since moving and celebrated a family birthday there on a Friday. Loved the decor, the atmosphere and staff were lovely. One of the items on the menu was unavailable but the food was amazing and good value for money. The drinks were also on point. Will be back!
This month's 12/12 pre birthday meal was a visit to #thefox @thefox down in St brides Major, owned by Mr Gavin Henson... we had the absolute pleasure of being accompanied by Jackie, Ang, Stuart and Steve for this one and what a great night out it was, thank you x.... Ok back to business.... the food as you can see from the pictures looks fantastic and tasted even better, very tasty, did not have to wait very long for each course, value for money oh god yeah, in all fairness it was excellent... Service was great too, in fact the whole experience was very very good... I would highly recommend a visit, it's clean, tidy and just a really pleasant experience... do yourselves a favour pop in for a cold one and some proper tasty food....
Delicious Sunday Lunch spot if you happen to be in the Ogmore area. Came here for my Father’s Birthday he’s a big rugby fan and got to meet Gavin Henson (The Owner) who was kind enough to come over and chat to him so we were well chuffed with that. They also have a roof top terrace which is great spot for a drink on a summers day. My only gripe was the service, which needs improvement, but the food was top notch and definitely worth the visit.
If you're in the area you should cancel your plans and try to go here. It's brilliant. The food is superb, the service is very attentive but not overbearing. The menu isn't huge but that's a good thing because it means what they do serve is freshly made and done well. The lamb fricassee was one of the best things I've eaten this year. The children's menu is good too with decent portions. I wish there was a place like this near where we live. Go try for yourself.
I often stop for lunch when passing...Gavin & Katie have got it right. Excellent chef who really knows how to turn classic fusion cooking into something special without it costing the earth.
The Guinness is good, the wine list comprehensive with something for everyone.
1st time visiting The Fox. I would recommend booking as we did. Food was amazing, tasty, presented well and good value for money, staff were so happy, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and we will be going back!!
Amazing Food, lovely staff, handsome place with a spot on atmosphere. Really enjoyed our Roast Dinners and delicious puddings. Thankfully our dog was welcome too.
Came here as a gamble. No reservation. Was given a table and the staff were welcoming and chatty... The chef is incredible. I ordered the sirloin steak medium rare and it was done to perfection. It was better than most fillet steaks I've had at other "steak house" restaurants. The best steak I've ever had! Could not recommended highly enough!!!
First time time dining at the Fox this year and it didn’t disappoint. We had 3 courses including Lamb Fricassee and orange & almond cake for desert. Special thank you to waitresses and chef for great service & helped advise us on wine pairings etc

Amazing food, wonderful staff and great decor. Very accommodating with food allergies as well, which was greatly appreciated! The only downside was the incredibly loud pub crew above, otherwise would have been the perfect date night venue. Regardless, will definitely go back!
This place has been kitted out in well-appointed fashion and was very busy on a Friday night, which probably led to the long wait for food to arrive. There’s a new small plates concept which is average value for money. The squid and cauliflower (the latter at a perfect tenderness) were first-rate, the beef with truffle mash (not pictured) delicious if a bit pricey for £14 and not medium rare as requested. Croquettes were nice, but be aware only three come on a plate, while the pork belly and mushroom omelette were pleasant. Don’t order the scallops. The (young!) service staff are beleaguered but very assiduous. Do give them a go as they bed this in!
Lovely food, small menu but something for everyone
The pub is nicely decorated and good ambiance.

I stayed here in the hideaway and I also ate here.
The hideaway is above a pub, so if anyone decided to stop here there will be noise that you can hear in the accommodation itself but it stops around 11pm.
I decided to eat here but didn't realise I would need to book a table, that was my own fault I should have looked into it first. However, I was still given somewhere to sit to eat.
I had an appetizer, main, and desert with glass of red. It came to just over £45 just for one person.
The appetizer was pork and apple. It was juicy with abit of a crunchy outer layer of filo pastry and had abit of a kick too leaving a lovely warming sensation in my mouth, it tasted like a nice balance of sweet and spice.
The main I had the sir loin steak. The steak melted in your mouth as you bit into it, I had mine medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The chips where light and fluffy and the veg cook perfectly. I did leave my mushrooms but I'm not a huge fan of them anyway.
For desert I have the orange and almond cake with coconut sorbet which I asked for one of the waiting staff to help me pick. She was definitely right, it was beautiful! The sorbet was refreshing and the orange and almond cake went great together. The cake was soft, light, bouncy and even sticky.
The serving staff were super lovely and honestly everyone there was just so friendly and welcoming, even going out of their way to help you. You can tell alot of love is put into the food as well the place itself. Personally, I would have happily paid more for my meal, the prices that they are at the moment, you really are getting a bargain.
In the hideaway where I stayed the room was bigger then I anticipated from the pictures. The bath tub was amazing to lay in after walking/hiking for a few hours and there was even little bits to make you feel welcome like tea, coffee, crisps, olives, water. It was a really pleasant stay and I can't wait to come back to stay here. I have no issue with sleeping with sound around me, I know not everyone is like this and some people may struggle with the noise.
The only slightly negative thing was while I was in the bath, some drunk guys (not Welsh by their accent) tried the door to where I was staying. As soon as they tried the door (it was locked) another person in a Welsh accent scolded them for it. I won't lie, it gave me a lil chuckle but I know that this incident has nothing to do with the place itself and just some of the people you might encounter with it being above a pub. The door does lock automatically though so there was no chance of them gaining access.
Overall this place is amazing and I'm suprised it isn't more popular.
Had a lovely lunch with the family here - food was delicious and I loved that the children's menu wasn't just sausage and chips but were smaller versions of the adult meals. Would recommend.
Top night at The Fox. Food was top draw. Atmosphere was just right. Fair play, Gavin and his wife were in the kitchen helping out. All hands to meet demand! 👏👏
Not eaten at the fox yet, but intend to.
Really nice and relaxing bar area serving a good range of beers.
