News from The Fox & Hounds Gastropub

Now the summer is over and everyone is getting back into the routine of work, school run or just life in general, we though it was an ideal time to drop you a line and give you a Fox & Hounds update.

The summer has been successful – although the weather was not as fabulous as they forecast. We launched our Seafood bar on the terrace in July. For those of you that didn’t get a chance sample what was on offer, there was dressed crab, Greenland prawns, Cherrystone clams, Oysters & much more. The Seafood bar is available for outside catering so if you are having a party and want something a little bit different – then come and have a chat to us.

Of course we also ran the ever popular Lobster offer too. With a new small independent lobster supplier this year –the lobsters were bigger and tastier than ever.
The menus have now changed with the shift in seasons, featuring dishes with a more autumnal and cosy feel. Bourride of mixed seafood to start is a delicious warming starter. The popular braised shoulder of lamb & gratin dauphinoise for 2 or 4 to share is back and our new French chef Olivier makes the best tart tatin outside of France. Please see the website for current menus.
