The Fox Inn

Sunday is the best day if you’re after the much‑praised roast dinner and a classic pub-lunch experience. For a quieter visit, choose a midweek lunch or early evening. Special events on other nights can also make for a memorable evening if you enjoy theme nights.

For the classic experience, go for Sunday lunch, guests repeatedly praise the roast and atmosphere. If you prefer a quieter visit, midweek lunchtimes or early evening midweek are calmer. Book ahead for weekends, themed nights and special events, as those evenings can be busy or sell out.
