The Fox — Restaurant in Scotland

We were spending the weekend in the area and didn't want to eat in the hotel. We like to experience local places that have good reviews online. The fox jumped out as somewhere that we would like to go. When we arrived, we were greeted by a young man called Jamie. He was friendly and efficient and looked after us well. No request was refused. We started with the small portion of chicken tempura and a portion of the ham and manchego croquettes. Both were delicious and we inhaled them....so quickly that we forgot to take photos....sorry! For mains, we had a double burger with bacon and cheese that came with fries. Also had the fish gounons with fries. The burger was excellent, the fish goujons were good and the fries were plentiful. I think they could have been a bit crispier but hubby loved his I had a doughnut with caramelised sugar, chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. The ice cream was to die for. The caramelised sugar created a crust around the doughnut and the chocolate sauce was drizzled all over. I ate every bit of this, but would have eaten it much quicker if I had a knife and fork as the crust was so crunchy, the spoon struggled to cut through it. (Seriously, if you order one of these, please ask for a knife and fork) Hubby had an Irish coffee -even though it wasn't on the menu anywhere. It was made without question. We had so much food, with three drinks (two pints of menabrea and a diet irn bru) What amazed us the most was the price. For all of that we paid £53.50!! Would highly recommend you go if you are in the area. We will definitely be back

I have pics, but can't find a way...

Been here twice, the first time everything was fantastic, food great and full of flavour. We had burgers and the salt and chilli fries and onion rings and we couldn't fault anything. However we went again today and ordered salt and chilli chicken wings, salt and chilli fries and onion rings to share between us and everything was flavourless. The wings had lots of meat on them which was great but they didn't seem to be marinated in any seasoning, the meat was juicy but bland and the coating was very hard and crunchy and there was no salt and chilli taste off of them although they did come with some veg so we know they were meant to be salt and chilli. We had a similar issue with the fries where again they came with veg but were very oily and again had no salt and chilli flavourings like we had previously experianced, they tasted like plain fries with oily fried onions and fried peppers. We had to ask for salt to season our food in hopes of making it less bland but we were not able to finish the meal even though we were hungry enough. Its a shame considering the staff are lovely and welcoming, the atmosphere is great and we love that it is dog friendly. Just feel let down by the consistency of the food and that is important as eating out is definitely a...

Went in here last night with friends for a drink, to my absolute delight and the girls disappointment while on route to empty the tank for more alcoholic beverages I spotted what can only be described as a gift from god, a private room with a golf simulator in it, all my dreams had been realized. At this point a cunning plan was set in motion to convince the women I had just rented a private room for us to enjoy the live entertainment. Ultimately the plan was a success and we made our way into "the den". However upon entering the room our deception was uncovered. Game on! We played for and hour and some change and drank cocktails galore which were delicious. The manager was an absolute gent and kept us hydrated in regular intervals with a table service. But it was not enough to stop me from claiming the high score of 288 yard on the long drive competition. Get it up ye. When we asked for the bill I couldn't believe how reasonable it was and they manager hadn't charged us for the time we ran over in the den . All in the place was a great stop on our night out , will definitely be back to keep topping up the high score for the room . Thanks again for a great...
