Fox & Hounds in Newark and Sherwood

Amazing service. Very friendly staff. Gorgeous food

Plenty of menu choices. Good sized portions. Friendly staff. Booked to go back. Xx

I booked Sunday Lunch at 1pm for 2 people today. On arriving we were shown into the back room of the pub which was very dark and so tight for space my friend struggled to pull her chair from under the table to sit down. I asked if we could be moved into the main restaurant area but was told they were fully booked. The waitress did say she would check for me but didn't return and nothing more was mentioned. We ordered drinks but one was incorrect when it arrived and had to be sent back. The Sunday Lunch arrived and was very nice. Home cooking at It's best! However we were so rushed and everything was served so quickly it was not relaxing at all. There was also a lot of background noise which was very loud. On finishing our meal our table was cleared as it was booked out again. Although the food was good, the service was extremely rushed and the atmosphere was far from relaxing. If it had been pointed out on booking that we were going to be sat in a back room and the table booked out again in less than 2 hours I would not have booked and for this reason I wouldn't recommend this place or return.

Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, food is lovely, the pub feels really chilled and relaxed. Came for a meal last night in a group of 20 and nothing was too much trouble....all the meals came out at the same time, special diets were catered for, HUGE portions!!! It was perfect and I would thoroughly recommend.

Never fails to deliver the best food ever, we have been going here for many years now and never had an issue, sometimes busy and hard to get a table but well worth a wait.

What a great place to go to for New Year's Eve celebrations! The staff especially the land lady were very tentative and made us feel very welcome. At a time when so many celebrations have been blighted with covid we felt very safe in the pub environment.The buffet was a lovely touch for New Year we would definitely highly recommend to others and return ourselves in the not too distant future.Wishing the team a healthy and happy 2022.

First ever review of a pub/restaurant, unfortunately it isn't a good one! I would like to stress that the pub is nice enough, normal British countryside pub with overall nice food. However, we ordered the camembert with caramelised onions as a starter and found glass chards in the onions. Pieces as big as the ones in the photo were found deep in the onions and we unfortunately chewed on them. The staff did not seem to bothered that we had ingested glass and no real support was given. Obviously not a nice experience that was not helped by the non caring attitude of the staff.EDIT: this edit is to reply to the pub owners reply as Google doesn't allow replies to reviews. Our pub visit wasn't a year ago as mentioned, it was on Monday 20th December 2021. I have the receipt to prove it and my phones GPS location from where and when the photo was taken is now attached to the review. So, it seems you have had at least a couple of incidents like this if it has happened before.

Met up with family on a Tuesday afternoon. Seven of us for drinks and two-course meals. A friendly welcome and a choice of tables (not busy!) offered. We all enjoyed our food - not one niggle - and service was timely and efficient. A thoroughly enjoyable time and I am happy to recommend a visit.

Quite a nice & quaint pub.Positives:- Food really nice- Good portion size- Dogs allowedAreas for improvement:- WIFI. Could not connect once to their WIFI, I'm assuming their router isn't capable of connecting very many devices at one time.- Waiting staff product knowledge. The first lady we spoke to couldn't tell us what draught cider they had and started reeling off beer names. Also when asked what came with the Sunday Roast I was advised "lots of stuff". Although the second lady, when shifts changed was very knowledgeable indeed.- Paying for meal up front. This is something that's very alien and strange to me. Used to paying at the end of a meal.- Only got asked how our meal was once we had finished eating.All in all a good experience however some improvements could be made as detailed above.

Been coming on and off for 20 Years, Every time to the food and drinks have been great! Last visited on Saturday and tried the new street food menu for outside eating I had the fried chicken forgotten what it was called but haven’t forgotten how amazing it tasted! All the staff were brilliant ended up having a right laugh with a few! See youAgain soon!
