We have some friends staying for a long weekend. After a long journey due to traffic we thought it would nice to walk to the Fox & Hounds for some food and a drink. It was a beautiful evening so we sat outside. The pub has a large seating area at the front which is on the village green. The atmosphere was very relaxed. We went in and ordered the first round of drinks and collected the food menus. Our friends have two children who loved the menu and were very excited about ordering food. Louise came out and took our order. We were a party of six and had the following which we would highly recommend:
3 x Johnny Cash Wagyu Burgers with Beer Battered Onion Rings and Fries with the skin on 1 x Chicken Goujons with Chips 1 x Chockrn Goujons with Cheesie Chips 1 x Lamb Kabab with Rice
Chris who is the amazing chef came out to check all was ok with the food. It was a big yes from everyone around the table. Everyone ate everything on their plates, even the children to the amazement of the parents. We ordered desserts.

The smile and warm welcome from the governor and staff is still the same and the friendly locals who make you feel like one of the group are still there. There has been a change on the menu with Thai food on from Tuesday to Thursday (not sure if days are right). We ate on Tuesday evening and have to say the food was fantastic!! After we had ordered our food you could hear prep in the kitchen as well as smell it. This food is made to order and I did not hear a microwave ping once. I would recommend anyone who is passing by or staying in one of the local campsites to pay this little...
Read moreWhat an awesome find! The staff were very welcoming and let us bring in our dog. Whilst there wasn't any room in the bar area (we had a big group!), the landlady offered to seat us in the restaurant even though we weren't eating. The place has a pool table, a restaurant and a decent sized bar area. Prices are VERY reasonable and will definitely be revisiting if ever in the Tillingham area to try...
