The Fox Patching Inn

Amazing and friendly pub. Really friendly welcome by the staff, horse was allowed in the garden and allowed to graze on a section of long grass that is left for horses. Once word got around of the horse in the garden, the staff came out with apples chopped up and several carrots peeled and ends chopped off. I believe the landlord even popped out with carrots too. Really friendly staff and even a friendly goodbye when leaving. We will definitely be popping back in again while out riding.

Been twice recently after a pretty long hiatus. Better table layout inside so it’s no so cramped and a younger vibe, rather than mainly OAP’s. Huge garden with play area for kids and large amount of seating. Food took a while to arrive, as did ordering but overlook that as the food is very good and freshly cooked. Excellent chips. We’ll be going back for a more substantial meal as the main menu looks great.

The fox is a fantastic place to go for a family meal, the outside seating area is wonderful as the kids can burn off some energy while waiting for their food. There is also a large play area for them and lots of open space. We have been a few times now and the food has been amazing every time, good size portions and good value for money, they also have a great gluten free menu. I would highly recommend you give the fox a try it is a very friendly welcoming pub where nothing is to much trouble, you are also allowed dogs in the garden area and even they get the same warm welcome with a fresh bowl of water and the occasional treat!

I haven't been to The Fox for years, in fact probably around 15 years or more! Last time I visited, it was very old fashioned and mostly full of pensioners, with dated decor and an unpleasant smell about the place. How things have changed! Now there's a welcoming atmosphere, very friendly and efficient staff, the inside has been updated (no smell of wee!) and the food was delicious. We sat outside in the extensive garden as the grandchildren were with us. There is a lovely play area with slides and swings, a climbing playhouse and plenty of room to run around, far enough away so as not to annoy the adults there for a quiet drink. All in all, a lovely country pub, with good food, beautiful surroundings and great staff. We will definitely be back!

Cracking pub with a huge garden including swings & slides for kids to enjoy. Friendly staff and a good selection of local craft beers as well as the usual crowd pleasers. The food was lovely. Only losing one star as the burger was pretty standard but the cod, chips & mushy peas were excellent and a varied kids menu always helps for fussy eaters! Would definitely recommend

We recently had our wedding reception at the Fox, in the marquee and it was brilliant. Before and on the day the team worked so hard to meet our requirements and make a truly memorable day. The food was excellent, all allergies and options were covered with no fuss. We would recommend the marquee at The Fox for any special event or wedding.
