The Fox & Hounds

Independent in Hunsdon since 2004

A village pub.
A remarkable kitchen.

Seasonal cooking with rustic Italian and French influences, served with genuine warmth in the Hertfordshire countryside.

Open Wed–SunKitchen from noon

Welcome to the Fox & Hounds

Good food, without the fuss.

We are an independent freehouse, restaurant and shop in the pretty village of Hunsdon — family-run by James and Bianca Rix for more than twenty years.

James and his team cook imaginative, seasonal food shaped by the best produce available. Come for a relaxed lunch, a candlelit dinner or the Sunday roast locals return for week after week.

Our story

From our kitchen

Led by the seasons.

Hand-rolled pasta, whole grilled fish, rare-breed meats and vibrant vegetables — with the Josper charcoal oven adding its unmistakable depth and warmth.
