The Fox & Hounds
Review
The Fox & Hounds, near Newbury, Berkshire, is a shining example of what a British country pub should be. Owned and run by Stephanie Vine, this family-run establishment combines a warm, welcoming atmosphere with exceptional food. From the roaring fire that beckons on chilly evenings to the super-friendly staff who make every visit memorable, it’s clear that Stephanie has crafted a true gem. The food offering is unparalleled, with locally sourced ingredients showcasing the best of British produce. Meats from Griffin the Butchers, Stephanie's family business, are rich in flavour and quality, while the fish, so fresh you can taste the sea, elevates every dish. Even the vegetables, sourced just up the road, add a delightful touch. The Sunday Roasts are particularly noteworthy, making this pub a must-visit. Whether for a romantic evening, a family outing, or a catch-up with friends, the Fox & Hounds sets the gold standard for country pubs.
