Fox Inn - Malvern Hills

We held my husband’s 50th birthday in the barn. It was such a good night made even better by the friendly staff behind the bar (Kate Lily). All the arrangements went smoothly, we were able to come in at any point in the day to decorate the barn, food was delivered as requested and on time. It felt safe to leave the barn and return later. Both the girls were accommodating and kept the wine flowing! All in all a wonderful evening and would highly recommend them for your next event.

Looks lovely inside but.... We ordered Sunday roast but were disappointed with the food. The meat was tasteless and watery and the roast potatoes seemed as though they had been deep fried. Yorkshire pudding soggy. We ate it and felt full but will not be rushing back for such bland and seemingly microwaved fare. On another note, there was loud music, shouting, banging and swearing coming from the kitchen which did nothing to add to the atmosphere. I know it is a working kitchen, but there is no soundproofing!

Had a fantastic mixed grill with some of the finest gammon I’ve ever had; highly recommended. The staff are lovely, upbeat, friendly and interesting. I cannot recommend it enough. I’ll be back.

The place showed great promise.... And then the food came out. Very appetising descriptions but failed to meet in a big way. The fake-steak grill was horrible and the charred cabbage on the pork belly interesting ... The new menu needs considerable work. However the staff managed it very well but probably a no for going again.

Describing itself as a family-friendly restaurant with mid-range prices, The Fox successfully delivers on its promises. I have been a regular at this establishment for the past fifty years and have witnessed its transformation from a simple pub to its current form with its ups and downs. Currently, it seems to be hitting the mark perfectly. The food was outstanding, with the squid starter rivaling dishes from more upscale restaurants and the sausage and mash main course showcasing the best of Gastro Pub cuisine. Lily and Kate provided excellent service, the ambiance was pleasant, and the music was not overpowering. Although I dined alone on this occasion, I plan to return with my wife and other family members soon. I hope the current landlord continues to maintain the quality of this establishment, as leadership plays a key role in its success. Many thanks to the staff at The Fox for a wonderful lunch experience – I highly recommend it.
