The spacious yet intimate layout allowed our group to comfortably enjoy the evening without feeling cramped, making it an ideal spot for a celebratory gathering.

The menu at The Faber Fox was a true highlight. Offering a mix of classic British dishes and creative modern twists, there was something to suit every palate. From the succulent roast turkey with all the trimmings to the rich and indulgent vegetarian options, each dish was expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The flavors were bold and satisfying, and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients was evident in every bite. The festive desserts, particularly the sticky toffee pudding, were the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

Usual spot for an after work, but appalled at the staff drinking after shift tonight!! The sous chef was absolutely hammered and had their dog in and got into a scuffle with one of the customers and their dog. What followed was the chef’s dog barking up the whole pub and trying to attack the customers dog. I understand that dogs are dogs and can be aggressive but what I don’t understand is that the off duty chef was in open argument with the customer in front of everyone?? Completely destroyed the vibe of the night and we, like many other customers, decided to leave Highlights tonight included: Drunk off duty chef kissing their teeth at a customer and telling them that they “work here” as if that was an excuse for them being completely drunk and arguing with customers over a dog fight??? Sous chef going in and out of the kitchen off duty after playing with their dog AND WITH THE DOG in the kitchen(where’s the hygiene standards???) DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Management placing themselves behind the bar and ignoring the situation instead of dealing with the whole altercation between this off duty chef and their customer This chef being allowed to continue drinking in Faber Fox even after causing an argument with a customer???

Definitely worth a visit if you fancy awkwardness watching a drunk chef bring their dog in and argue with a...

It's so disappointing when places see themselves as accessible but the onus is on the wheelchair user to fight through a crowd to get to the toilet. In this situation, it's absolutely fine for the bar to just say actually no we won't be accessible that day sorry. To all pubs/bars/restaurants: pease just put yourself in the position of a wheelchair user for a moment when being asked basic questions.

You seemed kind on the phone and were honest re the crowd which is a mark up from other places so 1...
