    We love this restaurant and are regulars. Best place for Sunday roast in our local area and we love that they use the best produce available and mainly local ingredients. The staff - reception, bar and restaurant - are outstanding, everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We have not stayed at the hotel. but I am sure it is also excellent. The venue and location is exceptional - 15th-century country house located in the quiet hamlet of Redcoats Green set within landscaped gardens and is surrounded by rolling countryside with scenic views. The food is fantastic and we neve had a bad meal there - mainly modern British dishes and the wine list has a great choice of local and global wines.

    We love the Fox & Hounds and always go when we have a celebration as it is the best food pub in the area. Last night didn’t disappoint, wine was delicious and I happened to make a poor choice on dessert. I explained why I hadn’t liked a part of it and without any question is was removed from the bill with an offer of a free drink too. Honestly, you can tell the service ethos and the class of an establishment in the way they respond to feedback. The Fox & Hounds team have class in spades and always give the very best service. Fabulous

    Celebrated a milestone birthday with my husband. Found the experience very special, staff attentive and ambience perfect. It was a bank holiday weekend and every table was occupied. Highly recommend, especially for a special occasion. The food was exquisite. Will definitely return soon.
