Snooty Fox, The Description

First the sad news, the former Landlord went to jail when health inspectors allegedly found a piece of mouldy ham in his kitchen, and, as a result of ill health, he had to sell the Snooty Fox.

Now the good news, Clive Dixon, who also owns Tavern on the Green, has bought it and wrought some real improvements mainly to the culinary side without spoiling the slightly old fashioned, but comfortably so, look of the place.

Tracey MacLeod of The Independent enjoyed her lunch there: "The main courses were faultless. A generous span of impeccably moist skate-wing came roasted to a crisp, golden finish. Barnsley chop - a double lamb chop served on the bone - was an outstandingly full-flavoured piece of meat, pink inside and topped with a little crown of its own fat. We weren't so sure, though, about the "fat chips" they sounded great, but in practice, had a disappointing ratio of flabby interior to surface crunch.

There's no such thing as a bad hot chocolate fondant, and when Hoppy declared that the Snooty Fox version reminded her of our school chocolate pudding, I knew she could offer no higher praise. My lemon polenta cake was a warm and springy delight. "IT'S FROM SALLY CLARKE!" yelled a voice from the kitchen area as I tucked in. One of the chefs, apparently giddy with excitement at the end of his shift, had decided to make his presence felt."

Your Reviews of Snooty Fox, The

Ang (3 May 2008)

I visited this place twice last month. The three course meal served on a Monday for £10 is amazing. The quality of the food is excellent and the wine is great. The staff are friendly and I am looking forward to go there again.

Lynz (17 April 2008)

Having visited this pub for a quick drink recently I fell in love with the atmosphere of this warm and cosy place. I decided to go there again for a meal with my family but this time we were all disappointed. The service was impolite and it appeared as if our table was avoided. We had requested 'fat chips' with steaks, they advertised it as fat chips, and asked for more bread, well that was obviously asking for too much. On a brighter note, the food was full of flavour and we all enjoyed it. It was a bit plain though - no vegetables with meat. The man behind the bar was great, once we had gone directly to him to order. I don't think we will visit again. The food and surroundings were gorgeous - the staff let it down though.
