The Fox & Hounds in Richmondshire

Just spent a week in West Witton and ate 4 times in this pub. The Sunday lunch is the best we’ve had in a pub. It included 6 types of veg. They made us and Oscar the dog very welcome. I’d certainly recommend it to everyone . We talked to a couple who were staying near Aysgarth and they’d been told to go to the Fox as it is the best in the area.

Stopped here from lunch while walking in the area. Made to feel very welcome. Excellent real ale and some lovely food. Highly recommended.

We just called in for a quick drink this afternoon and it was a pub, eatery full of character. Nice well kept ales and a loverly landlady.

John and Joanne are doing a great job, somehow retaining the character of Blackies at the same time as making the necessary renovations. Anyway, the beer and food are great, as is the warm welcome and cosy atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit. Dog friendly too, not sure about cats!?

We have visited The Fox for Sunday lunch today.Everything from our initial phone call this morning was handled expertly!I rang at around 10am to enquire about availability and was advised that they could accommodate us at our preferred time.Both of us chose the beef and pork Sunday lunch, which was, without question, the best lunch we have had not only in Wensleydale, but probably ever.Generous home cooked portions, portions, piping hot and very tasty. The meat was very nice too.The service from all of the staff was excellent.I explained that one of our party was vegan, which often initiates panic or otherwise. Not here…..I was comprehensively told what they could provide, and what would have to be omitted, which was the first reassuring reason for choosing this pub. Often staff or owners aren’t sure of what is vegan and what is not. To find a pub as friendly as this, who know what they are doing, in the middle of Wensleydale was a revelation.Price wise, they are on a par with most other pubs in the area, but they are streets ahead of their competition in terms of giving the customer what they want, and making sure they plan to return.Well done to everyone involved, and make no mistake, we will be back. Probably next Sunday !!

Lovely little village pub, friendly staff and good food. Pub is also dog friendly

Really fantastic pub. Our party of 6 had a great meal and some local real ale. The kitchen went out of their way to cater for a dairy free diet. Plenty of vegetarian options and everyone said they enjoyed it.

Great place. Really friendly staff. They were helpful and very welcoming. Accommodated dietary needs, and went out of their way to look after us. Good menu with plenty of choice. Will definitely be straight back there next time. Thanks

Lovely pub we found at the end of our walk from Asgarth falls to Castle Bolton. The staff were super friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate us at lunch time as we arrived just before food service finished. The food itself was delicious, great quality and a really good price as were the beers!The new owner was a really nice guy, really personable and really valued people's opinions. It was exactly what we needed after a good long walk and we can't rate highly enough.We will be back again! Thank you

Excellent local village pub! We've called in here several times while staying in the area. Great lunch spot after hiking Pen Hill or for evening pints and a burger. Ample space in the beer garden or a smaller covered area for outside dining.
