Fox & Hounds Inn, The

Neil and Pascale (14 September 2009)

In August, 2009, leaving York at 5.30, we drove straight across the moors from Pickering and arrived in Goldsborough in time for a coastal walk and to breathe in deep lungfuls of sea air. It was a perfect start to a wonderful evening at the Fox and Hounds. We ordered a simple starter of green beans with olives for me and calamari with chilli for the guvnor. In each case the main ingredient tasted delicious with the dressing serving to highlight rather than hide. The guvnor declared his pork loin with cannelloni bean mash the best piece of pork he'd ever had, meltingly tender but not at all fatty. My grilled plaice tasted like it had just swam up the coast that afternoon, delicious. Shepherd's purse blue and oatcakes, warmed slightly, with a generous handful of cherries and a glass of red whose name I've forgotten, rounded off the meal. They have generous portions, attentive service and reasonable price for the quality. Only criticism is the wobbly table but by the time we started eating the wobble was forgotten.

This restaurant is well worth visiting. Lunch on Saturday was excellent. Cheap it isn't, but neither is it over-priced and the portions are spot on, if you want a great plateful of food then I suggest you go to any of the growing number of places that are putting quantity over quality. The welcome was friendly and the whole place was spotlessly clean and absolutely charming. This is certainly somewhere we will be visiting again.
