The Fox's Sunday roast used to be legendary in this area. Called and booked 30 minutes before we arrived - this should have been the clue that it had gone downhill. Arrived to a very quiet pub with no atmosphere and presented with menus splattered with 'something' that had not been wiped down. You couldn't get a traditional Sunday lunch any more, but a giant Yorkshire pudding filled with 'slow cooked meat' with a side of veggies, and stuffing balls/roasties.
It was very disappointing. Quantity over quality. The meat was cheap, fatty and basically cooked in a slow cooker, not roasted. It looked like dog food. The Yorkshire pudding, roasties and stuffing were not hand made and I would venture started as frozen, 15 minutes before hand. The veggies and gravy were the only good thing about the meal.

Would definitely return, well...

Everything on the plate was frozen, and the beef was just like a ball of string on the plate, tasteless to. I tried a bit of each veg but on the roast potatoes, I spit it into my napkin, and got rid of the whole lot. It was diabolical, even a lady I didn't know, stopped on the way out and said their meal was terrible, the Yorkshire Pudding was like a Frisbee!!!! I feel so sorry for the staff having to bring this sort of rubbish out to the tables. Four people here that won't be...
