    The service was very good but as a pescatarian, there was only one suitable fish dish on the menu, so my choice was very limited. I had the sea bream and it was tasty if a little over-salted. I couldn't have the fish and chips because their chips are cooked in beef fat. My wife and I had booked the Fox and Hounds for Valentine's Day but after my meal today we have cancelled. We have eaten there occasionally many times over the last 30 years and always enjoyed it, just a shame the menu no longer suits our diet.
