The Shaddingfield Fox - South Norfolk

I would have given this place a rating in the negatives but giving 1 as needed to write a review. The food is absolutely awful. My husband ordered one of the loaded dogs and I wish we had taken a video of how it was … inedible slop. I ordered a lamb dish which again was inedible the flavour was sweet and mostly just tasted of cinnamon taking over the entire dish When the plates were taken it was evident that we had barely touched our food but there were no questions from the wait staff. I could tell from their expression that they had picked up on it. My drink which was a large Malbec tasted astringent and stale Disappointing beyond belief. I’d always thought this place was one to visit as we passed it for several years. I would say nice cosy pub but eat at your peril (that’s if you like good food) Anyways

Disappointing visit. A group of us booked up for a great together over dinks a meal. The Pub had only one beer in stock (a nice Caramel Stout), but little else. Surroundings are quite pleasant but the meal was also disappointing in that our Chilli 's looked rather unappetising although tasted OK, possibly left overs? And another said her lasagne was awful There 's only so much Caramel stout you can take so we ended up decamping to the King 's Head in Beccles where a somewhat better experience was had.

Table booked about 6 weeks ago for 6 people. Arrived at allotted time. Went into the fox for the landlord to tell us the chef has walked out . The landlord had our phone number and didn 't even have the decency to let us know. He didn 't even seem bothered. Would never go back

We booked for an evening meal for a family of 6, 2 months ago. Arrived this evening looking forward to an evening meal with our family of six.. we received no warm welcome and was told they are not doing food this evening. They had our phone number so why did not phone us to let us know. Don’t think this pub will survive much longer with there lack for customer service. We will not be back

Coming back from a long walk we decided to nip into The Fox hoping to grab a quick pint and abit of food, literally walking through the door we over hear “ they better not be here for food or I’ll be p*ssed off” hearing that we thought maybe they’re just having a particularly busy night and I understand that hospitality can be stressful !, I notified the bar staff of what I heard and reassured them we wouldn’t order food, I was told “you can have food but we’ve got no steak or burgers, and sorry you heard that but we’ve had a table of 8 come in” imagine ! The cheek of 8 people turning up…
