The Fox is our award winning traditional country pub and 55 seat restaurant, situated in what were three 16th century cottages in a quiet country lane in North Waltham. With glorious views, overlooking farmland, it is characterised by low slung, beamed ceilings and a roaring fire, making it the perfect cozy setting for feasting and merrymaking.
Our fresh food menu features dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients coupled with a delicious selection of Real Ales and specially paired world wines.
Welcome to an award winning traditional country pub and 55 seat restaurant, situated in a quiet country lane, overlooking farmland and yet still within easy reach of the A30 and M3. Ample off-road parking is available. The bar has a fine selection of beers, along with an extensive bar menu for those that are feeling peckish.
Not quite rating five stars as all four of our meals could have been better one way or another. Overcooked and small portions seemed the order of the day. It’s a shame as it is a lovely old pub in a good location just outside Basingstoke.
The stop for lunch while hiking the Overton Circular. Lovely pub with great food. We all had clean plates at the end of our meal. Everyone had the roast which they raved about while I had the risotto which was absolutely delicious.
Family get together following a cremation. Excellent food provided and really good service at the bar. A little out of the way but with a lovely beer garden. Would be lovely on a hot summer day.
Six of us tried their Sunday lunch time menu yesterday. Only one of us had a traditional roast and everyone else enjoyed their menu choices. The steak and venison pie was worth the 60-mile trek alone but when followed by the sticky toffee pudding and Exmoor Ale I was not fit for much else afterwards. The vegetarian option was also well received as was the mixed fruit meringue. Too many choices!The staff were friendly, the Scottish gent who took our order was quite a character and the whole experience was most enjoyable. Well done at a reasonable price.Just one word of caution for tall people, be prepared to duck! There are low beams.
Friendly, efficient service with a smile and nothing was too much bother though we were a party of 14 at Easter. Excellent food and really friendly people. We will definitely be back for a quieter pint and food when there are less of us over the summer.
A great find off the beaten track. I chose the steak and venison in Guinness pie, wow, possibly the best pie ever, generous individual pie in short crust pastry.Guinness wasn't bad either.All of our party of 7 commented how they enjoyed the food
Very cosy and warm little pub.. the service was amazing, and the food was really good. Definitely recommend for a warm heart meal.. looks like it has nice outdoor area too. So will be back in summer
One of my favourite places to visit - the staff are always charming and accommodating, the food is always fantastic and the prices are fair.Highly recommended.
Went there for lunch on Saturday..the men had the venison pie which was huge and we had the seabass which was absolutely scrummy! Best food, service and ambiance around! Great!!
We went to the Fox at North Waltham to celebrate my parents 60th Wedding anniversary as a special treat & were not disappointed. Thank you Rob & all the staff for a spectacular dinner & fantastic service. The range & quality of the food was excellent & I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.
The Fox is as friendly a place to go to, for either just a drink or eating snacks or a full meal. And despite changes in staff, they have managed to maintain the friendly ambiance. Always a pleasure to go to, with the same level of service no matter what you're there for.Location, service and quality, all 5 Star.
Went to The Fox with 3 friends for lunch on Saturday. It was excellent from start to finish. All staff were both pleasant and efficient and the food was extremely good - all 3 courses. Good value for money - we will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant.
Stopped of at this village pub after a dog walk. The beer garden is fantastic and split into different areas, one for adults only for smoking and the rest of it nicely spread out. Food was good snd bar staff attentive, will definitely be going back
