10/10 Sunday roast
After a lovely afternoon at hollies farm shop we decided to go for a roast and found the fox and barrel after seeing there great reviews.
We managed to get seated immediately, we got the mixed bread to start which was amazing and fresh. The bread arrived warm which was a bonus.
The chicken dinner was cooked to perfection. We asked for extra veg and gravy and the staff couldn’t of been more helpful. The pictures speak for themselves.
If your in the area I highly recommend
We called here on a recommendation from the accommodation that we were staying at the time and we weren't disappointed. The food was very good at a good price and the drinks were also good at a good price. The food is not bog standard pub grub, that every pub turns out.
Don't get me wrong. We had Steak pie and a burger, but it was on a different level than the standard Pub. I would have preferred to have seen something different on the menu for the main selection, as I felt it was the same thing as everywhere else, but thankfully it was good and different. As for the starters, now they were GOOD. A good choice and they were good.
Would I return and recommend. YES.
Searched hard online for non-standard food close to Delamere Forest and totally lucked out with the Fox & Barrel. The menu looked quite interesting but frankly I was seduced by the quality of the photography on the website; these people looked like they care about the details. Wasn’t wrong. This was an absolutely sensational Saturday lunch, with assured, confident cooking and some really interesting, original flavours. Service from Matt was great, the place is clean and smart and our dog had a lovely time as well. Pix show a few of our dishes and we also ordered oysters, sausages, fabulous chunky chips, broccoli and lovely wines at fair prices. We will all definitely return. So happy to find a new favourite eatery in this neck of the woods. Thank you!
