The Fox at Oddington

Quality food, well presented and excellent taste. Service was prompt, efficient and pleasant. A classic pub entrance with a stylish restaurant and gardens area. All good. Popular with the tourists. A clear dog policy would be helpful for all. Recommended. Flag any dog concerns in advance for accommodation in the restaurant.

We recently enjoyed a beautiful evening at The Fox. The team were friendly & helpful, & we were made to feel welcome straight away. It was during the heatwave that we visited, so we enjoyed a table right by open doors in the orangery room & it was the perfect setting for our delicious meal. The truffle tots were incredible & the whole menu had great options for all requirements. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic atmosphere which is enhanced by their clientele base which is a good mix of all ages. Dog friendly too. Fantastic pizza and cocktails. Mains were a delight too and there was a live singer on a random Wednesday that allowed a little karaoke feature afterwards. The only slight letdown was the somewhat slower service, but otherwise top-notch!

An unforgettable experience from start to finish! The space is warm, beautifully designed, and inviting - a perfect blend of comfort and style. The food was absolutely phenomenal, but what truly set this place apart was the exceptional service. Every staff member went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making our visit so special. I’ll definitely be back!

We called ahead 10 minutes before arriving to see if they had space and whether we can have lunch in the garden. We were told in a surprisingly off tone it’s first come first served, but having eaten here before we didn’t let that stop us from proceeding there. Having not booked we understood we would have to take what was available. It was just the tone it was advised in. On arrival we were told they were not serving food outside, despite not being advised of that when called and mentioned the garden. We were seated in a dark bar area even though there appeared to be plenty of other tables available, and continued to remain empty during our duration there. We didn’t complain when seated as we hadn’t pre booked. However, the most disappointing thing was that the food was below standard. The price had increased lately by over 25% and there appears to be no real justification as the food had deteriorated in quality. Maybe they are charging more for that ‘extra side’ of attitude from some staff (not all staff I have to add, some are trying hard). We are fortunate in this area to have so much choice of amazing eateries, ones that offer a better service, atmosphere and much better food, all for better value. Thus, unfortunately this venue we once enjoyed is now one we’ll no longer go back to and will not recommend as we used to. I’m more than happy to pay for good service, atmosphere and food, but this sadly offered neither.

It’s fabulous. Went on a sunny day and sat and had drinks in the beautiful garden. So pleasant. Good staff and attentive. Good cocktails and beers. Everything on the menu was good and could have had. Good atmosphere in the garden room. Food was perfectly cooked and portions were good. Can’t fault anything. Bit more pricey than my usual lunch out but worth it. Yes, I would definitely go again several times.

We had the pleasure of dining at The Fox in Oddington and, overall, really enjoyed our visit. The interior is beautifully designed, with a warm and cozy atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The staff were attentive throughout, and the young lady who served us was especially kind and welcoming. The menu is quite broad, offering a range of options to suit different tastes. I started with the prawns, which, if I’m being honest, I probably wouldn’t choose again. However, my main — the steak with chips and béarnaise — was absolutely spot on. The sauce, in particular, was rich and flavorful. All in all, The Fox is one of the standout pubs in the Cotswolds, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone passing through. Just be sure to book ahead, as it tends to fill up quickly.

Delicious pizza and food in general, so nice atmosphere and service. Gorgeous garden and cozy indoor space. Definitely recommended

Our 1.30 lunch lliant! Brilliant! Lovely light airy atmosphere. Wonderful service from Lacy. Our starters of the cobb wedge and the tuna were cleverly presented. We split the El Cap pizza. Having seen the oven, couldn't resist. Maybe one of the finest pizzas we've ever had. And we're Americans. I had the Lawless Lager. Very nice. We started the lunch with the pork cracklings. So original. And great dessert OMG. Deep fried chocolate croissant in custard. Finished with a noisette coffer made to order. Thank you!

We returned after 18 years, with our now grown children, to be even more delighted than the first time we ate here. The food is amazing and the service is as well. Today, the Sunday roast was perfect and filling, the Fish and chips were crisp and tasty, as were the vegetarian options. The dessert (sticky toffee pudding) was just as delectable as we remembered. Excellent choices for beer on tap too! It was fun watching all of the families coming in with children and/or family dogs. Lovely afternoon in a beautiful village sharing a memorable family meal. Thank you!

In England one does not hike, one walks. And so we walked for two hours to get to the Fox Inn, traversing ancient fields with much gleeful appreciation for England's well-labeled footpaths and public rights of way. The walk to get to this charming country pub was well worth it. The fish and chips I had for lunch were lovely and the mushy peas some of the nicest I've eaten recently. There were plenty of pints of real ale for my friends along with staples like steak and kidney pie. In sum, The Fox Inn's a brilliant boozer in which to pass a few hours whilst walking in the Cotswolds.

Randomly came in here when passing through Chipping Norton and was happily surprised. The meat pie and and lamb shoulder special were both amazing. The service was great and would love to come back for my next trip.

The Fox is a Cotswold stone inn in a small village a mile or two outside Stow on the Wold. There is a small bar but this is really a restaurant that attracts the smart set. Whilst not putting myself in this category, I've been here four or five times, twice for overnight stays. Today I had lunch with a colleague and, since we were driving we weren't drinking which is a shame. Abbot Ale and Hooky Bitter were on offer. The menu is extensive, even for lunch and we chose home-made tomato and basil soup, eggs Benedict (also available as a main course) and steak and kidney pie x 2. The whole meal was delicious although not cheap at £42 for two including one glass of spicy tomato juice one of the best I've tasted. I'm going again!

Amazing ambiance in a wonderful old building from the 1600's right in the heart of the Cotswolds. Good food and good service. Would definitely recommend!

Incredible quality of food in a classic Cotswold village, there is actually a lot of seating but they have several separate areas so it feels cozy and they do not squeeze you in. The decor is phenomenal as was the service. We had the pigeon breast and potted shrimp appetizers, then we went for the risotto and the Gloucester old-spot bangers and mash. Serving sizes are generous so careful if you intend to hit the pudding list. All in all a great inn, unfortunately it's pretty gentrified clientele reflect the changing demographics of a part of the country I used to love, but now loved by those with Maseratis and Porsches too.

The two wonderful pubs in Oddington made our stay, up the road in Broadwell, a memorable one. The food is exceptional, definitely not 'pub grub'. I had the venison ragout and it was the BEST venison I've ever eaten. Staff were very friendly and our waiter even stopped and talked a bit after he was off the clock. Had a fun conversation with a 'regular' who walks to the Fox Inn every day. Quintessential Cotswolds atmosphere!

We went to this pub while we were staying in the Cotwolds in December 2009. It does fantastic food and the service was exceptional too. I had duck breast which was delicious. Others in our party had steak and a pie - both said their meals were fab. Unless you're staying in Lower Oddington you would need to drive there. They have a car park. If you're in the area def worth a visit.

Excellent food. Great historic building. We had cheese souffle starter. Hake and partridge as Main courses.

We had a light meal and dessert here and everything we ordered was excellent. The service was good although it took a while for our meal to arrive. I'd definitely choose this place over the Horse and Groom down the road which I found overpriced (no I don't work here - I live in the US).
