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.

Very nice breakfast and lovely setting. Tiny bit slow with the service even though it wasn’t too busy and the portions were somewhat petite for the price but very tasty and very warm staff

A recommendation from the Michelin Guide App. A quiet lunch date with my wife, we had the set menu which was a selection from the main menu, The tempura prawns, haddock and Crumble were fantastic, Truffle triple cooked chips were not overpowering as is the case with many truffle options elsewhere. The whipped Stilton and sourdough was devine followed by the gammon, topped with the perfect egg. All of the staff we encountered were welcoming, caring which was a breath of fresh air , as nothing was too much trouble. A great first visit.

Unfortunately one of our party was disappointed with her meal. It was undercooked. Spoke to the serving staff and she did give options to replace the meal. The steak meal was delicious. It was very noisy in the restaurant and hence conversation around the table was difficult. Overall a nice evening.

Delicious food and friendly service. We were there at a reasonably quiet time of day (2-4). Despite being a high-end restaurant, very child friendly and accommodating team.

Breakfast is served in the bar, not the restaurant. Did know this at time of booking. Although the food was excellent (as has been the case when eating in the restauranr) I did not enjoy sitting in the bar area. Unfortunately we had two very aggressive dogs near us that kicked off very loudly when other dogs came in. It was a very cold morning and had to put my coat around my shoulders. Overall ok but will not return as a breakfast customer.

Met friends here for lunch - very helpful staff made sure our table was suitable. Food was good - although have to say the chips were a bit undercooked. Nevertheless there was enough gammon etc so didn't really need them. The dining area is well set out and decor is lovely.
