The Fox And Hounds - Mid Suffolk

We popped in her on the way to Market Western, when the original pub we aimed for turned out to be fully booked. Whoops. So glad it was though, as this was a stoke of good luck. We were struggling as we have a couple of dogs with us, with one being a rather large greyhound. This pub had plenty of space and we're happy to host us all. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. So much so, we came back a second time for lunch.

The excellent ales here have always been a draw, but the food less so. Our welcome was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff, but the (somewhat battered) menus a specials board offered a basic selection. The actual food was disappointing, with quantity replacing quality a huge portion of chips doesn 't make up for bland food. Our vege 'not chicken ' burger had no flavour at all, and with no dressing (ie in a dry bun) was uninspiring, even with a pile of shredded lettuce. Our prawn salad was similar, with an ample portion of prawns and a giant portion of lettuce, but not much else. Overall this venue offers basic pub grub at modest prices, but the lack of imagination in the kitchen lets it down...

Visited again fourof us for lunch very good choice in menu and on blackboard. Linda and Jack were very helpful. Food and drinks were excellent.large portions,so unable to order dessert,due to being full. Good choice for my wife who is a vegetarian. Well worth a visit.

Our group frequently visits the Fox and Hounds. When we showed up on a busy Saturday night, we were pleasantly surprised to find the pub packed and didn't expect to be able to eat. However, the manager was exceptional. She went out of her way to accommodate us, which we truly appreciated. Despite the hustle and bustle, it was evident that her main focus was ensuring every customer was happy and well taken care of. The food was exactly what we were looking for, and the portions were incredibly generous. I couldn't find a single flaw in the atmosphere, drink selection, or service. The pub is a friendly and welcoming addition to the village.

The pub was very busy, but the waiting and bar staff were friendly. The food was typical pub fare. We only ordered a main dish each because when our food arrived, we were disappointed with the wine we received. There was no wine list available, and when we tried to address the issue with the manager, we were met with disappointment. The manager explained that there was no wine list due to a price increase, but our waitress kindly wrote down the available options for us to choose from. We settled on a Malbec, but the wine delivered to our table was already open and turned out to be a blend of Merlot Malbec, not the pure Malbec we had requested. When we tried to address this with the staff, there was a lack of compromise and customer service. The manager just told us the wine would be on the bill and walked away, ending the discussion. This experience left us disappointed and we don't plan to return under the current management. It's a shame, as the service used to be much better when Bernie and his team were in charge.
