10/10 Sunday roast
After a lovely afternoon at hollies farm shop we decided to go for a roast and found the fox and barrel after seeing there great reviews.
We managed to get seated immediately, we got the mixed bread to start which was amazing and fresh. The bread arrived warm which was a bonus.
The chicken dinner was cooked to perfection. We asked for extra veg and gravy and the staff couldn’t of been more helpful. The pictures speak for themselves.
If your in the area I highly recommend
We called here on a recommendation from the accommodation that we were staying at the time and we weren't disappointed. The food was very good at a good price and the drinks were also good at a good price. The food is not bog standard pub grub, that every pub turns out.
Don't get me wrong. We had Steak pie and a burger, but it was on a different level than the standard Pub. I would have preferred to have seen something different on the menu for the main selection, as I felt it was the same thing as everywhere else, but thankfully it was good and different. As for the starters, now they were GOOD. A good choice and they were good.
Would I return and recommend. YES.
Searched hard online for non-standard food close to Delamere Forest and totally lucked out with the Fox & Barrel. The menu looked quite interesting but frankly I was seduced by the quality of the photography on the website; these people looked like they care about the details. Wasn’t wrong. This was an absolutely sensational Saturday lunch, with assured, confident cooking and some really interesting, original flavours. Service from Matt was great, the place is clean and smart and our dog had a lovely time as well. Pix show a few of our dishes and we also ordered oysters, sausages, fabulous chunky chips, broccoli and lovely wines at fair prices. We will all definitely return. So happy to find a new favourite eatery in this neck of the woods. Thank you!
Went camping nearby in a rainy and cold weather … been to a nice restaurant nearby but want to try something new so decide to give this one a go.
Nice part:
Food is good especially seafood related dishes and service is good as well.
Improvement:
Waited a bit long for the main course but not in a rush anyway so not a problem.
Also little one is allergic to nuts but no allergic check when seated. When little one take a piece of bread (served with ice cream as in picture) luckily I spot nuts piece and take it away.
Price is average at London level.
Overall good experience.
Had a really good meal with a mate, proper good steak and a mango desert for me with the different textures of mousse, sponge and meringue. The pub itself was very light, not dimly lit like many others, staff were great though it was quiet when we visited. Menu limited in choice, but this is a good thing as it will all be practiced and great
Have just had a late lunch here for Mother’s Day/birthday. I must say the whole experience was delightful. The staff where very friendly the pub has a lovely ambiance about it. The food was delicious everybody commented on how delicious it was the dessert where lovely to. Had a lovely afternoon would not hesitate to recommend a visit here for lunch or dinner.
Went here for father's day Sunday dinner, the food was absolutely amazing best Sunday dinner I ever had. Service was outstanding what a great place, I will be going back very soon and will recommend to everyone.
Re visted this Sunday was just as good 👍
Couldn't have asked for more during a little family celebration.
Beautiful surroundings, relaxed atmosphere, topped with lovely food.
Service with a smile.
Keep up the good work guys !
First time here after lots of recommendations.
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all round. The food was amazing and the staff absolutely lovely! If your not here your missing out.
Returned to the pub on Saturday night for a meal with friends, having previously had good experiences. It was a new menu, and I chose the gazpacho with crayfish and avocado starter. It was so delicious I'd have been happy to end there! Perfectly seasoned, delicate, and flavourful. The steak pie was also yum, but then it always is. Thanks to everyone at the F&B 😊
