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.

Called in today after collecting my daughter from uni. On our way home to South Wales. Lovely fire roaring behind us, which was very welcome in the negative figure temperatures we have been experiencing. The lady behind the bar who must have been the landlady...was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Food was quickly delivered and delicious... 2 fox burgers, 1 steak and a broccoli bake . The chips were fab and prices reflective of good honest pub lunch. A lovely glass of shiraz too . The ginger sundae was delicious. Will definitely call in again on uni drop off und pick up days. Thank you xMore

Travelling back home to Staffs we had a recommendation to try this pub as the car park could accommodate our motorhome It was 5 mins off M5 and half way home. We hadn’t booked but they managed to squeeze us in even though it Sunday...Lunchtime and they were very busy. Food was scrumptious and fairly priced. Can’t thank the staff enough for their help and would highly recommend this place. One word of advise though try to book so you won’t be disappointedMore

We went as a family for my birthday, and received a lovely welcome from Lu the Landlady. She really has a way of connecting with customers and establishing a local friendly atmosphere. We ate.. A Mediterranean vegetarian tart with salsa salad and new potatoes Brocoli...and cauliflower cheese bake. Fish and chips. And a deluxe burger. For dessert two lemon meringue sundaes and syrup sponge with custard. There were also chips... big double cooked chips. Everyone loved their meals. My family are locals and working their way through the menu. Thank Lu and Mr Lu...sorry I forget his name the chef...we will return! TERESA MOORE and Johnny. ( I was the Mediterranean tart!) 10/10More

Good food, quick service. Nice beer garden. Carpark is visible from the benches. Awesome if you are traveling with stuff on your roof rack. A short detour off the motorway. Try a fox burger.

We chose The Fox as it was a convenient mid point between Cheshire and Cornwall and was just off the motorway. Having read the good reviews we were not disappointed. The menu had a variety of choices at reasonable prices. Everything was fresh,hot and good...portion sizes. Staff were friendly and service was efficient. We'll definitely return again one day. Thank you, keep on doing what you are doing. 😊More

Called in on our way home from Cribbs Causeway. I had chilli half and half and my wife had gammon, egg and pineapple. Both meals were excellent, well cooked, hot and reasonably priced. It was accompanied by a couple of pints of superb cask beer....All in all, a great lunch stop.More

Avoid the fox at Easter Compton Ignorant bar staff / land lady , asked for a beer , told I couldn’t have one as it was quiz night and I hadn’t booked but could sit outside if I wanted …. Won’t be going there again...and certainly wouldn’t recommend the place , obviously have too much trade or are very judgmental!!More

My wife and I eat supper at The Fox on Wednesdays whenever we can. It breaks the week up, we get to meet friends, it's a night off cooking and we enjoy supporting our village pub whose owners were the glue that held our community...together during the various lockdowns. Last night I had the fish and chips, which was good: crispy batter, good size piece of cod and nicely cooked chips. I always fall to temptation with the ginger sundae pudding and it was a good as ever. I believe the menu is changing again soon (refreshed regularly) and we look forward to trying it out soon. We feel blessed to have a village local, with good beers & wines, great food and wonderful staff and encourage you to try it if you're passing by.More

This is first visit to the Fox since lockdown started in 2020. Since last visit decoration has taken place to improve the surroundings. Food was enjoyable and well cooked and presented. Staff pleasant and polite, enjoying a joke. I will be returning and meeting up...with retired work friend for lunch again. Highly recommend for lunch. Restricted menu but idea for a location such as this to be served good food. Some places try to over cater to the detriment of the quality of food.More

Excellent, friendly service in a very COVID safe environment. The whole team have gone the extra mile to make sure everyone is safe. Food was excellent, and delivered very quickly, best of all the food was extremely reasonably priced. Dining area was spotlessly clean and...couldn’t be faulted.More

I contacted The Fox to arrange lunch for our walking group after we had walked up Spanorium Hill. This family run pub was most welcoming and helpful . It has a very pleasant beer garden, although the interior looked very clean , comfortable and spacious...had we eaten in there. Our tasty food arrived quickly with good service . We ordered a range of meals at a reasonable price and everyone was well satisfied. Many thanks , much appreciated.More
