Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We're on holiday nearby and noticed the Crafty Fox because of its high rating on Google maps. Met and exceeded our expectations - warm and friendly atmosphere, accommodating of our very young children and allergies, INCREDIBLE home cooked food which was wolfed down by both us and the kids. Clean plates all round. Within 15 mins of arriving we were talking about moving to live in Accrington. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

19 of us came from work for as recommended to us as the place for a "Banging Roast Dinner", I can confirm it was definitely banging! I'd definitely be back was my first time visiting Crafty Fox too. Staff were friendly, all the meals were served together aswell considering there were so many of us. Thank you :)

We arrive just after 2.30 when they stop serving food, Paul spoke to the chef and thankfully they was willing to make us food. I’ve never visited before but the food and service was absolutely amazing! If more people managed a business the was Paul does they would be just as successful. Reasonably priced and my fish & chips was so fresh and tasty, everything was piping hot and just outstanding. Will definitely be my place to Go from now on :)

Love this gem in Accrington, nothing is to Much trouble for Paul and his team, we sat in the book in the front window, vibes of berlin cafe life. Warm welcome is always had and hearty fresh produce with the Crafty spin. King prawns to die for, French trimmed chubby chicken breast an tasty mash with peppercorn sauce, yes please, my companion had a hearty beef chilli with sour cream, I finished off with hot waffle and cream, a perfect Thursday evening, we already planned our return trip. Highly recommended from a pair of foodies.

Excellent food! 5 of us enjoyed a perfect meal here, food was pipping hot, the service was great & well priced for such big portions (didn’t have room for pudding) The tattooed gent behind the bar was very helpful & knew his drinks! He recommended us drinks. Fast service & nice atmosphere

I visited for the 1st time at lunch time with my friend, I ordered the salt and pepper chicken wrap which was served with a choice of chips or fries and salad, I chose the chips. It was one of the nicest meals I’ve had, cooked fresh and very tasty. The atmosphere was lovely, very friendly welcoming staff. I would highly recommend and I’ll most definitely be returning.

Poor been here lots but the service from the two bar staff today was poor! Asked about the Augustina beer we normally get to be smirked at and told “No never heard of it” both girls smirking, shaking their heads at each other etc Had something else and then decided to eat, food was blander than previous visits and service was poor. Spend more money on staff training, product knowledge etc Really poor service!

We’ve messaged you and offered you a solution. Yet no reply ? Obviously another keyboard warrior who gets straight to the review rather than find a solution . Why didn’t you bring this up at the time ? Yes we have young staff and they are learning . We take things personally and we have a great team who constantly have to learn . I wish instead you would look at the initial situation and then let us know verbally . Instead we get a stealth missile that destroys morale because we do bring this to their attention . You are another socially inept person that takes pride and gives criticism and thinks their an amazing reviewer when world would and the vast amount of readers and customers don’t actually care! Nothing absolutely nothing was brought up so how can we sort . I’ll say again totally socially inept ! Look it up !

Best place I’ve been to in as long as I can remember. Menu was amazing. Food was spectacular. Drinks choice was perfect. The staff and service were excellent. The price is very reasonable when compared to other restaurants and for the quality of food on offer, the price is more than fair. I order cheese and onion pie at every restaurant I go to, this was by far the best I’ve ever had. Will definitely be coming back.

We were recommended to come here by the landlord of the hotel we were staying in that didn't serve food. What a lovely restaurant with really friendly staff who looked after our party of 8 brilliantly. The food was excellent, most of us had something different from the menu and all cleared our plates, the pies in particular were delicious. The drinks were very reasonably priced, overall an excellent experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant.

Recently moved to the area and thrilled to find this wonderful place on our doorstep. The atmosphere was welcoming with a really unique style (which we loved). Myself and friend visited for a catch up (tea time), the food was delicious and well presented, the staff kind and attentive with a great drink selection (both non alcoholic and alcoholic, which was refreshing). We will absolutely be returning, and recommending to all.

Two of us ordered the salt and pepper chicken which had no flavour whatsoever. It wasn't even seasoned let alone have the well known salt and pepper aspect to it. It was just deep fried pieces of chicken which had no taste. Our chips were forgotten so had to wait for those. The place was cold too as we all kept our coats on. Expensive for what we got so wouldn't return unfortunately. Girls were friendly who were serving.

The room was cold ? It’s the middle of summer ? It’s July ? Was this winter are you for real ? Why have you posted this ? To get a buzz ? Our recipe for the chicken is the same as it’s always been . Its southern fried chicken with salt and pepper seasoning cooked fresh to order for over ten years . Our best seller ? Why did you not bring this up with staff ? You can see by all the reviews it just makes you look stupid ? Or are you one of the suspect indivduals that are at the moment trying to destroy a successful vibrant business ! What you actually are is a sad negative shallow individual that does not yet again have any real social skills. Why cant you bring this up whilst in a real life situation . Seriously get a real life ! Pathetic !

Been meaning to go for a while , three year anniversary was a good enough reason . Phoned and booked after looking at the menu online which looked very appealing. The girl greeted us and was very attentive and poured our drinks explaining about the different largers to me . The place was nice in decor and we sat in the window . We ordered a sharing platter with a side order of chips . These chips were proper chips and cooked really well, the platter was immediately impressive to look at and the taste did not let it down . We now look forward to visiting again to try the other delights on the menu especially the steak as the owner described it so well I was drooling … Music on at the weekend which sounded good .

Visited last week for a birthday meal for 2 family members and the whole experience was amazing! Food was delicious and the staff could not do enough for us. We brought cakes which were were able to drop earlier in the day and happy birthday played on the sound system as they were brought out. Pie’s definitely lived up to the expectations and can’t wait for our next visit! A new family favourite restaurant for sure!
