My wife and I have literally just got in from a meal here. Rather annoyingly, we've been meaning to try this place for some time but have only just got round to it - we've been missing out!
First of all, it's a warm and welcoming environment.
We had 3 courses - all of which were amazing. My wife had the soup to start and I had the caramelised onion, Stilton & mushroom tart. I then had the burger and my wife had steak, followed by the Belgian chocolate tart and cheese cake - honestly, the food was exceptional. The service was great, friendly, polite and was quick enough that we didn't have to wait but didn't feel rushed either.
We both agreed this was one of the best places we've eaten in a long time. On arriving home I did two things:
1. Texted a friend to put a date in the diary to take them to this pub.
2. Wrote this review!
Honestly, so impressed and can't wait to go back. We live just down the road so think we will now be regulars here.
To the staff - many thanks.
To the management - don't change a thing - everything is perfect.
Thank you again :-)
Fantastic pub and staff . Went there for a Christmas meal on Saturday night with 10 girly friends . The food was outstanding . The landlord did a Robbie Williams tribute act the whole pub was dancing . Haven't laughed so much in ages , as we all had a terrific time .
Lovely pub. Lovely food. Reasonable price. The best local in Denmead for food by far.
Fresh very tasty food friendly service, have already recommended to friends and I’m taking my family for a meal there next week. Very impressed
Excellent pub, excellent food, excellent service. To top it off, you made my mums birthday an enjoyable one. We are sure to be there again �
Had a great evening with superb food and very attentive service .will recommend to all friends and relatives.
Would like to say a big thank you. Had a really lovely Christmas dinner. Excellent service, all food piping hot and such lovely folks making sure everyone was happy. Thank you made our day. X
Fantastic country pub with great food and atmosphere
Superb food. We just had a meal here for the first time & can't fault it at all. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Would recommend to anyone.
We had a wonderful meal today. Really enjoyed food, drink and the atmosphere. Service was excellent, very helpful. I am glad we have such a great place in the village. I wonder what is it going to be like in the summer - outdoor space (thinking of my toddler). Is there anything for him to play at? The only little thing is - it would be great to have maybe couple more vegetarian options in the menu. I hope your business will grow, we are planning to come back!
Food was good , staff very efficient, friendly and welcoming. Will definitely visit again !
Excellent welcome and attention from staff. Food great.
Our lovely local, good food,good drinks and good company
We had some great times in the F&H over the Christmas period, weather we just popped in for and drink or a sit down meal we always found the staff nice, welcoming and friendly even on the times they were crazy busy.
We are back in France now but the F&H will be of our first stops when we come back to the UK later in the year.
I say well done you an excellant start, long may your success in the this wonderful old pub continue....
Enjoyed an excellent meal just yesterday, and a lovely barmaid who welcomed us.

I hadn't been to this place for YEARS until today.
I remember it well as one of the places we used to meet up in our early twenties. Great pub back then.
So I was pleased to hear from my mum that it was on good hands again and she had heard good things about it.
We booked for lunch the next time I was able to pop down to visit.
The layout has changed, but definitely for the better. It looks smart, bright and cosy too.
The food was excellent. We had scampi, whitebait, calamari to start, a decent glass of sauvignon blanc, and a lovely Hampshire rump steak for main.
The specials board was excellent and the daily menu was also replete with a good range of options.
(As a father of a child with coeliac disease, it was also really good to see the attention paid to gluten free options).
The food arrived promptly, the atmosphere was nice and the service was excellent. Our waitress was likely on one of her first few shifts, and had to ask frequently for the answers to our questions, but she was efficient and always found out anything we asked.
I might be wrong, but I think this pub was taken over by the local community. I do hope it is a success. It deserves it.
A lovely place, we went for a birthday dinner with 16 people. Obviously it was quite a big party, and we were pleasantly surprised when it didn't take too long for the meal to arrive. We did order in advance and they did get one meal wrong, but what I had was still delicious so it was ok!

More muted pub experience, discreetly situated at the 'elite end' of Denmead.
Nothing showy or grand but relaxed with polite and courteous service.
Not an extensive choice available but food all the better for that.
Excellent on both occasions I've been here.
Will revisit..happily.
Visited again today 11/05/23. Fairly quiet. Enjoyed nice Estrella lager and excellent meal ( which in truth I have tried before).
Mushroom gratin really tasty as starter. Then their shepherds pie... really delicious, in fact best I've had. Food is fresh and perfectly cooked with slightly crunchy veg underneath and just enough peppery heat and mint to complement. Little cheese added for lovely flavours all round..
Finally Affagato which is nice too. Ameretto ice cream and espresso is a winning combination though whilst the liquer is nice on its own, I've eaten this elsewhere with ameretto biscuits and the bit of crunch adds a delightful change of texture. ..But nice anyway...
I think these dishes are the best I've tried in the pub. Recommended
Try for yourself. X
Superb food very friendly staff. Will definitely return, the specials board worth viewing, cozy and warm place to unwind with wholesome tasty food extremely well cooked.
Great quality food and priced very well considering the quality. Lovely environment, friendly staff.
Great place for our Sunday lunch, dog friendly, food and drink were excellent, staff are welcoming and service is perfect, couldn't find a fault, I particularly enjoyed the cooking of the calamari, so often it's disappointing, but here it was perfection, I also liked the choice of Roasts, all long, slow cooked, things that would take time and effort at home, lamb shank, pork belly and I chose the Brisket, it was melt in the mouth, I would definitely recommend this lovely pub.
Was very nice food excellent staff a tad Blunt and moaning about using there WiFi abd your phone!!! We also run a pub in the Midlands and when we are away we need to keep in touch with staff so being lectured on phone use is and was not welcome great food though nice place
Came here for the first time today and had a lovely meal here. The white bait and calamary starter was great and the ribs are to die for. Couldn't fault it, the staff are nice, the beer is good and the food is great! Would definetly recommend and will be coming back again
Food was fantastic, really tasty. Definitely be re visiting. Shame about the pork scratchings, upon seeing the brand i refused them.
First time we've been to the pub. The food & service (Georgia) were both excellent. Would highly recommend the Fox & Hounds
