As fellow publicans my wife & I are extremely particular & we have very high standards. Very occasionally we come across a really wonderful place. Well we visited The Fox in Hallaton & from the minute we walked in the door we were warmly greeted by Sarah. We were made to feel so welcome with a happy face & a professional courteous manner. Also, the bar staff Kane & Katrina who were also on point. Later we met the owners of the business Emma & Colin. It's easy to see how the staff are so professional because the owners exude a warmth & knowledge that is rarely seen in a restaurant pub nowadays. My wife & I know how hard it is to run a busy pub & the hours involved in doing so. It is literally the best pub we've been into for many years.

I was sorry not to have had room for a pudding, they have a great choice of starters & puds, but I was full to the brim & left the pub happy & content!
Will definitely return. Advisable to book because it is very popular (&...
Read moreWe met our Son here whilst he was cycling around the Rutland area our first meal out since lock down. We ordered on line arrived as scheduled and sat in the garden. Our food and drinks were delivered to our table by lovely friendly staff our food was excellent and enjoyed by all. We had our little dog with us as did other diners so they welcome dogs too which for me is a huge bonus. On a visit to the ladies toilet I found them spotless and a credit to the establishment. Our whole visit was superb and we will return again. Thanks to all concerned in making our first dining experience post lock...
