Cross Foxes, The Description
Actually the sign shows two crossed foxes, not surprising really; how could even foxes be cross in such a beautiful site as this, alongside the River Dee, hence a real haven for anglers and for those who just want to chill out surrounded by spectacular scenery and great hospitality.
The Cross Foxes is part of the modestly sized and very effective Brunning and Price Group, operating mainly in North West England with two in the South East, each place with its own very individual persona, but all 14 following the same high standards. As with all their houses the emphasis is on good wholesome food, well-cooked but not complicated, with a decent wine list and mainly local draught ales to keep everyone happy.
On the menu expect to find smoked salmon and wild mushroom roulade, beef and wild mushroom suet pudding with red cabbage, bacon chop and free range eggs with handcut chips or tiger prawn and red mullet jalfrezi with fragrant rice and naan bread.
Amongst the lite bites is the best ploughman's lunch for miles around with a choice of three cheeses, pork pie, apple, Scotch egg, tomato, pickles, chutney and chunky bread, or a 10" Overton sausage baguette with roasted red onions, spicy ketchup and handcut chips.
Puddings include bara brith bread and butter pudding, waffle and vanilla ice cream with chocolate fudge sauce. A well rounded wine list completes the pleasure of this attractive gastropub.
Your Reviews of Cross Foxes, The
June Jepson (14 June 2008)
We visit this place each time on our way to the Welsh coast. It is without doubt one of the best, in fact it is the best, pub we have been lucky enough to find. The menu is imaginative; the light bites are a great change from the usual sandwich or jacket potatoes at lunch time. The service is always welcoming and efficient. Here we find excellent food and service in a delightful old building in an idyllic setting. The only snag is that it is too far away for us to visit every day!
A passing traveller from St Albans (15 February 2007)
On our journey back late in the evening in February around a corner bend we saw this public house and thought it looked great (even at 9pm and slight haze hanging in the air).
We were not disappointed by poor staffing or lack of service. It was a great decision, very welcoming, tended to promptly and the food was lovely. Two main dinners and warming coffees at less than £30 satisfied us until our final resting stop 200+ miles away.
