    A very good experience, a choice of tables was a nice touch, being as 1st table was draughty adjacent to an open door. Good advice on choices of non alcohol beers. Excellent meal, no rush at all, Thoroughly lovely staff, exceptional head of staff

    Staff were a little slow to get drinks once seated, but overall service good, food delicious and atmosphere vibrant but could still talk easily. A wonderful evening for a 50th birthday!

    First time here, but will return some day. We really can't fault it. A lovely environment, great service and the food was really delicious and well presented. A bit more pricey than some places, but worth it.

    Went with my wife and son for Mother's Day celebration..It was a glorious afternoon, so parking was a nightmare. Notwithstanding this, the staff at the Fox were welcoming, we were allocated a nice table and had a lovely meal. Good food and well prepared. Can't ask for much more 👍

    Disappointed that there were no mussels, there was an R in the month therefore they are in season (although head of F&B told the restaurant they weren’t). Brancaster Staithe had them in the menu…..suggest if you aren’t serving them, take them off the menu!! Fish pie also not as good as it used to be, much less fish, more potatoes and small portions!! Come on Anglian Inns, let’s get back to as good as your menu used to be! Service as good as always however!!

    Three of us ordered fish and chips, and we all agreed that it lacked flavor. The fish was bland, and the chips weren’t seasoned, which made the meal quite disappointing
