Fox Hounds Inn

I am unsure why this pub has an average rating of below 4 stars! This pub is very traditional in its atmosphere and design, resembling a perfect countryside pub. There are plenty of seating options available, including wooden chairs, soft furnishings, and stools. The food portions are generous and offer great value for money. The prices for both food and beers are very reasonable. The beer selection includes both branded options and choices from local breweries. The quality of the food is good, offering honest pub food that is perfect after a long day in the hills or for a casual meal out. Unfortunately, I do not live locally to this place as I was visiting Ennerdale, but if I were a local to the Lakes, let alone Ennerdale, I would definitely make this my regular spot. I hope to return soon!

We stopped by The Fox for a drink and a sandwich one afternoon. The decor is dull and the furniture is mismatched, appearing to be from various house clearances. The lantern on the window ledge looked shabby with missing glass panels. It's a mystery why it hasn't been thrown away. Despite a fire burning, it did not give off any heat and we were cold even with our coats on. The sandwich menu is basic and lacks creativity. We ordered a BLT, which is one of the more exciting options, along with a couple of portions of chips. However, what we received was a bland sandwich and soggy chips that seemed to have been reheated in the microwave. I wanted a brandy coke but they only had Pepsi, which was odd considering many people prefer Coca-Cola. The staff were okay, neither friendly nor rude, but could benefit from a customer service course. I would not recommend this place as there are much nicer options to visit.

I went to the pub with my partner and a friend, along with two kids, for a meal. The food was good until we were accused of stealing salt and pepper shakers that the kids were playing with. We were told to empty our pockets and my partner, who was in her work uniform, was threatened with losing her job as they claimed they would check her workplace. It turned out that the kids had just been playing with the shakers and they were not stolen. We will not be returning. Food rating: 1 star.

We had a delightful lunch at our new neighborhood restaurant. The atmosphere was welcoming and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend it.

Went to this restaurant with 5 other adults this evening. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. The two waiters were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend! Thank you!
