The Fox in St Albans

We came for lunch today and wanted to sit in the garden as the weather was lovely. The gentleman at the bar in the burgundy shirt was extremely helpful (sorry we forgot to get your name!) he recommended a lovely gin for my friend and told us where we could sit in the garden. We ordered sandwiches and a pizza - all of the food was gorgeous! We will definitely be returning!

Superb pub with attentive staff attired in black aprons and uniforms with table serve service.Attractive large outdoor seating area with umbrellas and open air seating with a comprehensive menu. Large indoor bars. This is an upmarket establishment selling a comprehensive range of continental lagers and food to complement it. Thoroughly recommended

Drinks service was clunky, but the food came out in good time and it was more than satisfying enough to make up for it whilst being reasonably priced, considering the times.Great place for the family after a long drive.We had some tasty ale, the 'sticky platter' and a pizza to share, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed their lesser offerings of tomato pasta and fries.Picture doesn't really do it justice.

Parents joined us for an impromptu lunch at the restaurant. First time here. Plenty(!) of parking to be had. Service was quick. Not a long wait for the food and drinks either. Presentation of food was nicely done. Good value for the money too. The pork belly was little more dry and tough than what I'm used to, but the gravy served with it was genuinely to die for - more than made up for the overly done meat. The others enjoyed their dishes.

A charmingly lovely pub after a stroll around London Colney. Stone floors wooden beams on the ceiling and various different sections to sit whether noshing or sploshing. Humans would be happy with a varied menu and their four-legged canine friends might be happy with the three dolly treats and bowls of water. At least three dogs during our visit, this is a popular pub with dogs.I'm a teddy that adores fish cakes; so I couldn't wait to tuck into the fish cake with poached egg and hollandaise sauce, accompanied with new potatoes and asparagus. The wonderfully creamy soft mashed potato coated in breadcrumbs acted like a fluffy sleeping bag to the the fish ( rather too little fish for my liking) but potato was so yummy that I will forgive them. The hollandaise sauce was simple without any sickly feeling it can sometimes have. It was a shame that the asparagus had the woody bit left on and overall what's showing signs of wilting.A busy staff is friendly and make sure that the dogs have water.A very nice pub, particularly if you are bringing the dog, or a teddy bear!Alright very welcome in the drinking area they are not in the dining area. Which is just as well I guess. I assume teddy bears are allowed in the dining area because we were with dog we eating this drinking area.

Booked to go to the Colney Fox for lunch on Boxing Day. We were a party of 5 but the website said there were no tables available so I booked a table of 4 and asked if we could have an extra chair put on the end However on arrival the staff found us a very nice table for 6 which was excellent.We had the 3 Course Boxing Day menu which was outstanding. Even though they were very busy, we were very well looked after by Georgina, who made our visit special.We look forward to returning to the Colney Fox soon 😀

Service was good, rib eye steak and gammon very tough and chewy. Lovely chips. People kept going out to smoke which immediately made the restaurant cold, my wife had to keep getting up to close the door and then sit with her coat wrapped around her.

Had the most fabulous Sunday lunch yesterday. Staff were very accommodating & helpful. With 2 babies in our group they gave us the space we needed in a quiet alcove. Didn't rush us through our meal around little ones napping, found crayons for our toddler & made the whole get together a relaxed joy. The food was absolutely fabulous too & very reasonably priced. Thank you so much for hosting our family with grace & efficiency 👍🎅💞

Stopped for a quick lunch. Wasn’t disappointed. Stunning fish and chips. Will be back. Great atmosphere and such friendly staff.

Wonderful service with great food.I haven't been for many years to the Fox, but was visiting with my Mum and we stopped by for a bite to eat. I had the Chicken pie. It was good. Friendly staff who helped us through our order as my mother had some dietary requirements. We'll certainly visit again.
