The Fox Inn — Restaurant in Horsham

Chocolate-box-picture Inn with fair amount of parking. Interesting inside but a conservationist might be horrified that the oak beams are gloss-painted grey. We'd had variable reports of the food but thought we'd try it again, having not visited for 2 to 3 years. Friendly young staff dutifully wearing masks. Limited menu with pre-ordained combinations. Sea Bass comes with deep-fried Brussels sprouts and chips! My wife loves Sea Bass (and we'd heard it was good) but hates sprouts, so chose the crispy duck salad. It came as a green mound on a white plate! Duck was OK but the salad was close to what my Mum used to call "Honeymoon Salad" - lettuce alone! And we had to ask for dressing. Yellow Thai curry had lots of tender chicken leg meat but was uninspiringly bland. Portions are good which is all some people may want. Ordered wine after having to upload wine-list onto mobile 'phone. As before, bottle was dumped on the table and we had to open, taste, and serve it ourselves. Ice cream came as one (expensive!) blob in a small earthenware dish that might double as an ashtray, without a wafer or...

Stopped off on the way home from the coast on the off chance that they still were serving food - 2.30 on a Sunday - and that they are dog friendly ... happily both were a yes ... the better half plumped for the standard posh burger, the boy a Sunday roast - offered a half portion, which was still more than enough for a hungry pre-teen, and I went for the cauliflower steak veggie sunday roast option ... place was quite packed when we arrived, so expecting a wait, but nonetheless the friendly staff went out their way to keep us updated and it's not exactly a terrible place to have to spend time in ... all happy with their choices when they arrived ... the better half particulary happy with her home-fries and the boy and I were suitably impressed with the Yorkshire puds ... lovely staff, great food, next time we aim to spend a bit longer, as for us it's around the half way point to the coast ... only issues were regrets at having driven past so...

Very disappointed 😔 my daughter had eaten here when she came on holiday last year and loved it, so much so she booked it for my 60th birthday as we are having a family holiday here this year. Well what a difference a year makes. After waiting over an hour for are roast dinner they first brought out 2 plates 10 minutes before the rest of our meals, so obviously theirs got cold, no apologies. The roast itself was nice apart from the gravy which had a strange sweetish taste and cauliflower cheese which also had a strange taste, both did not taste very nice, so obviously ruined the rest of the dinner. My daughter had halloumi burger, the avocado inside was vile never tasted anything like it not sure what they had done to it, just a heads up perhaps ask for the avocado part to be separate from the bun. Such a shame as very nice pub but not...
