Announcement
Rob and Izzy would like to thank our loyal customers for your support over the last 20 years. We arrived at The FOX on 14 th July 2003. During that time we have made many friends and shall miss you all.
We have tried to maintain the integrity of the pub as part of what makes North Waltham the village it is. The fact that the village council has had The FOX listed as an ‘Asset of Community Value’ is testament to the importance it should have to the village and not as an impediment to its continuing success.
We are sorry to be leaving but it is time for us to retire so please, for those who are ‘regulars’ and especially those who do not visit, give Tony Race and the Team your support and keep this wonderful asset going. Remember the adage “use it or lose it” really does apply.
Welcome to an award winning traditional country pub and 55 seat restaurant, situated in a quiet country lane, overlooking farmland and yet still within easy reach of the A30 and M3. Ample off-road parking is available. The bar has a fine selection of beers, along with an extensive bar menu for those that are feeling peckish.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming, service was good and we all loved the food we'd ordered. We'll happily go back there. 👏👏👏
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, brilliant service and delicious food! What more can you want!!!!
I'm sorry, but this place used to have a reason to be expensive, this is however, no longer the case.
To pub & grub. Excellent public bar, how things should be . Ale is superb.
Just had to write a review to share what a lovely lunch we had here! The Fox had been recommended quite a long time ago and I believe ownership has changed since then. After seeing the menu online we decided to give it a try. The pub is very old school with a separate public bar and restaurant. The door was closed to the restaurant and we were never pointed in that direction so we are not sure if it was closed or if there was a private group in there (it seemed the person on the bar may have been training so perhaps she just didn’t think to send us that way). However, it didn’t matter as the unseasonably warm October meant we could sit out in the garden. The gardens have your traditional pub benches and you are in the middle of the countryside where we could hear the occasional whinny of a horse. What a treat to be able to enjoy all that in October!I have to admit I was initially very underwhelmed upon entering the public bar, we love a traditional pub but we had gone out for a rare child free lunch and I was a little worried about what the food might be like. (It must have shown on my face as one of the friendly locals told me ‘it’s not that bad in here’!) I needn’t have worried, the food completely exceeded our expectations, proper traditional pub food but brilliantly done! I had the Brie and the bbq ribs, my parter had the haggis and burger. Both were good portion sizes and both delicious!It’s so lovely to see these traditional pubs still running when so many have been lost along the way. The Fox came complete with a group of men sat at the bar like I’m sure many generations have done before them!! They were so friendly and welcoming, just like all the staff we encountered.I was reminded of a very important childhood lesson - never judge a book by a cover! I would definitely recommend a trip out to eat here.
Not many alternatives in the area. We turned up, ate and drank. It was nice. The garden well kept and good for kids.Pizzas not the best though.
Lovely country gastropub. Plenty of choice on the menu... All good quality
Visited for my uncles wake very nice pub the only problem is no wheelchair access we had to carry my father down the steps and back up
A great country pub in a wonderful setting, friendly and welcoming staff, good beer and food
Excellent country pub, ample parking, garden seating, porch and inside seating. Friendly staff and excellent food, tasty with good portions.
Rob and his team looked after us very well. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Top class food. Highly recommended.
Six of us tried their Sunday lunch time menu yesterday. Only one of us had a traditional roast and everyone else enjoyed their menu choices. The steak and venison pie was worth the 60-mile trek alone but when followed by the sticky toffee pudding and Exmoor Ale I was not fit for much else afterwards. The vegetarian option was also well received as was the mixed fruit meringue. Too many choices!The staff were friendly, the Scottish gent who took our order was quite a character and the whole experience was most enjoyable. Well done at a reasonable price.Just one word of caution for tall people, be prepared to duck! There are low beams.
Lovely meal with the family. Great setting with nice gardens for warmer days, a play area for kids and a nice cosy bar.
Friendly, efficient service with a smile and nothing was too much bother though we were a party of 14 at Easter. Excellent food and really friendly people. We will definitely be back for a quieter pint and food when there are less of us over the summer.
A great find off the beaten track. I chose the steak and venison in Guinness pie, wow, possibly the best pie ever, generous individual pie in short crust pastry.Guinness wasn't bad either.All of our party of 7 commented how they enjoyed the food
Nice buffet and warm pub with a real fire and spacious car park, nice new structure being built with slide for children in the warmer weather.
Lovely location, extra friendly staff.I had the Sunday Roast and the food was good for the price.
Very cosy and warm little pub.. the service was amazing, and the food was really good. Definitely recommend for a warm heart meal.. looks like it has nice outdoor area too. So will be back in summer
One of my favourite places to visit - the staff are always charming and accommodating, the food is always fantastic and the prices are fair.Highly recommended.
Lovely old pub, a Free House too. Landlord and locals friendly, felt at ease. Highly recommend!
Went there for lunch on Saturday..the men had the venison pie which was huge and we had the seabass which was absolutely scrummy! Best food, service and ambiance around! Great!!
We went to the Fox at North Waltham to celebrate my parents 60th Wedding anniversary as a special treat & were not disappointed. Thank you Rob & all the staff for a spectacular dinner & fantastic service. The range & quality of the food was excellent & I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.
Lovely old fashioned pub kid's have their area adults only area as we well worth a visit
The Fox is as friendly a place to go to, for either just a drink or eating snacks or a full meal. And despite changes in staff, they have managed to maintain the friendly ambiance. Always a pleasure to go to, with the same level of service no matter what you're there for.Location, service and quality, all 5 Star.
Went to The Fox with 3 friends for lunch on Saturday. It was excellent from start to finish. All staff were both pleasant and efficient and the food was extremely good - all 3 courses. Good value for money - we will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant.
Stopped of at this village pub after a dog walk. The beer garden is fantastic and split into different areas, one for adults only for smoking and the rest of it nicely spread out. Food was good snd bar staff attentive, will definitely be going back
