The Fox is an award winning pub & fine dining restaurant with rooms located in picturesque Willian near Letchworth, North Hertfordshire. It has a great locals bar serving a wide selection of real ales and lagers, dog friendly. Our newly refurbished stylish, relaxed 2 rosette restaurant serves an abundance of locally sourced seasonal produce with an accessible wine list as well as an extensive bar menu.

We have created a beautifully landscaped outside dining area with heating and lighting. Each table has an umbrella for cover, but please come prepared for inclement weather. If the weather takes a turn for the worse and you have booked an outside table we may not be able to accommodate you inside.

The Fox also boasts 8 beautifully designed bedrooms adjoining the pub which are open all year round. 5 of our our bedrooms are also dog friendly.

I received an email from the Fox informing me Pie night was 1st and 3rd Thursday each month. I booked a table for 4. When we arrived, there were no pies. It was beaujolais night. So we had fish pie. But please sort out your communications!

Restaurant is lovely and food was good no issues there at all. Only problem I had was with the wait times between ordering, we was asked if we want deserts so we got the menus then was sat there 30 minutes with no one coming back over, especially with this being my partners birthday meal we felt let down as we did want a desert, but after that amount of time waiting we didn’t have time as we needed to be elsewhere. We were in the restaurant over 1 and a half hours and all we had was a main meal. Again the food is very good can’t complain, just won’t be back in a hurry and wouldn’t be going if I’m on a tight schedule.

Ordered from the bar menu as the restaurant menu didn't inspire us. Enjoyed a very tasty gammon steak and the Fox Burger. The yoghurt parfait dessert was disappointing as it was semi frozen and had some lumps of gelatin. My friend's ice cream was delicious though. Service was attentive but not obtrusive. An enjoyable evening.

Charming team. Nice ambiance and generally a happy experience. My risotto was more like a rice pudding than a risotto but to their absolute credit, they adjusted the bill without having to be asked.

I was seated and served very quickly. Food was very nice. I had beef carpaccio which I'd recommend and the topside of beef roast. The beef and vegetables were very nice, yorkshire pudding was nice and big. Will come again maybe at next seasons menu.

Food was lovely, tasted good and presented well. My partner felt the serving of roast beef was small..there was less than we had with other meats, but it tasted good. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Food is always good at the Fox. Just wish the chef would add some autumn staples to dessert menu - crumble/ apple pie etc. Sunday roast is excellent.

We chose to come to the Fox because we know the food is amazing. Service today was first class, very very nice touch the staff noticing it was my son’s birthday and giving him a small chocolate plate to celebrate. We always recommend you. thanks again. Top notch all round
