What a fantastic place. The staff were polite and ready to help and advise. Our orders were taken and our food arrived in perfect time. The food I must say was delicious and perfectly presented with a hearty portion. I can’t recommend the Fox and Hounds enough. Extremely well priced too. 10/10

I had an amazing time celebrating my best friend’s birthday at The Realm. The staff were lovely, the service was super quick, and the food came out really fast too. The manager was an absolute gem, so sweet and accommodating, and she happily let us customise our food by making dishes spicier and adjusting the dumplings to our liking. The food was a solid 8/10, and the live DJ playing great music made the atmosphere even better. Overall, I had such a great time and will definitely be visiting again!
