I call the Fox the Hotel California. You can check out but never leave. Such a lovely place. I especially appreciate the chickens wandering across the road outside, the stream with crayfish swimming, the old cars and sunshine on your shoulder. It is a lovely place to just....... Be, eat, drink and unwind.

We had a beautiful spring walk around the area of Corscombe which we found on a web site. This took 2 hours and concluded at The Fox Inn where we had booked for Sunday dinner (the place was very busy worth booking). We ate the spring lamb roast which was very tasty with mint sauce and fresh veg. Desserts are... More

we dropped in on a very cold day halfway through our walk.the pub itself is very nice but the hospitality of the landlady was absolutely so welcoming. we had already had our lunch or else we would've have tried the very reasonably priced and deliciously sounding menu.we will definitely go back and try the food

I'm a village resident so I am delighted to have the pub back, after too many years of disinterested to hostile "service". What a change. The welcome is warm, the decor fresh while retaining the integral structure and atmosphere of the building . A couple of village events have been held there which is a great way of welcoming everyone... More

As a resident in the village of Corscombe it has been a long since since we have had a pub with a warm friendly welcome, great food and super service. But the Fox Inn is back to the future, back to the days when it was nationally recognised and the jewel in the crown of the village. Yes the setting... More

Enjoyed an excellent meal with friends, the scallops wonderfully cooked to perfection. The whole atmosphere, the log fires and very friendly welcome making for a really relaxed and comfortable evening. Exactly how a village pub should feel, Marie & Shane and their team achieve this with such effortless ease which belies all the hard work it takes. So good to... More

We like a meal out at the pub each week and found this place many years ago, but it dropped out of the guide books so we assumed it had "gone off" & closed - not surprising as it was hard to find out in the sticks. A piece in the Western Daily Press showed the Fox with a postcode... More

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Good menu with enough choice which reflects their use of fresh produce and very good service. Would say there are a few teething issues eg veg didn't come and had to remind them but please give it a go. Amazing desserts and a very warm welcome. Will definitely go back and wish we had... More

I was lucky enough to be invited by Ray and Eva Harvey to the Fox Inn for a works Christmas lunch. The food was fantastic, best scallops i have ever had, other than my own! The atmosphere great. Even better i say than when the Lees had the pub. So good to see so many locals supporting the place. Well... More

that was the Fox in the old days. Now it has been refurbished and is under new managers. Has excellent real ales and an interesting and short wine list, e.g Gewurtztraminer and white Rioja. the food was good and the landlord and lady helpful and polite. They're busy trying to restore a good local so it deserves a detour and... More
