We really care about the food and wine we serve at the Fox and Grapes which is why we won a Catey Menu of the Year award and have earned a Bib Gourmand. You can also find us listed in Harden's, Zagat's, the Michelin Guide, the Time Out Eating & Drinking Guide and the Good Pub Guide amongst others.

Alongside our Chef's Seasonal Dishes we offer a selection of classic English pub food such as fish and chips and that perennial favourite: the Burger. For a real treat, we recommend you try one of our succulent steaks cooked to perfection in our Josper Oven.

Better food than the other ‘gastro’ pubs in the area. I think they have a new chef. On this latest visit, the food was good, but we waited nearly an hour between starter and main… service was patchy - some fantastic staff working really hard are let down by some of the service team. Still a good choice for quality food in a pub on the edge of the common.

Like the Fox & Grapes: good choices on menu and drinks. Venue good. Bit pricey. Not full today but quite noisy with those there.

The outstanding memory of todays meal was the waiting staff. They were efficient and attentive dealing with issues efficiently. Less impressive was the food. Pie dry, roast Beef tough as leather. I wasn’t going to write a review but checking previous reviews I note that is a common complaint.

We just had such a lovely welcoming Sunday lunch at the F&G. Delicious food, no issues on our requests for more gravy and custard! Everything was yummy and Phoebe who looked after us made sure the room was warm and chatted to us and made us feel very well looked after - can’t wait to come back soon.
