Great place for a celebration. Martin and his team went out of their way to make sure Dora’s 40th celebration was the best ever. Delicious food and service second to none. Can’t thank you all enough. In passing Colney Fox is always warm and welcoming, and the a Sunday lunch was just perfect and hot and very tasty, loved the fact you can have as much gravy as you like, we had the triple roast no complaints at all.
Myself and my partner decided to try the roast dinner this evening at The Colney Fox. Unfortunately they'd run out of Turkey by the time we arrived at the restaurant just before 5:30pm. Had the lamb instead which I did find to be quite chewy. Everything else on the plate was delicious! . Service was a little slow and took a while for the waiter to take our order. I would come here again maybe during the week when it's a little less busy. Nice relaxing atmosphere in the restaurant. I particularly like the beer garden. Overall I would recommend The Colney Fox to friends and family.
A charmingly lovely pub after a stroll around London Colney. Stone floors wooden beams on the ceiling and various different sections to sit whether noshing or sploshing. Humans would be happy with a varied menu and their four-legged canine friends might be happy with the three dolly treats and bowls of water. At least three dogs during our visit, this is a popular pub with dogs. I'm a teddy that adores fish cakes; so I couldn't wait to tuck into the fish cake with poached egg and hollandaise sauce, accompanied with new potatoes and asparagus. The wonderfully creamy soft mashed potato coated in breadcrumbs acted like a fluffy sleeping bag to the the fish rather too little fish for my liking but potato was so yummy that I will forgive them. The hollandaise sauce was simple without any sickly feeling it can sometimes have. It was a shame that the asparagus had the woody bit left on and overall what's showing signs of wilting. A busy staff is friendly and make sure that the dogs have water. A very nice pub, particularly if you are bringing the dog, or a teddy bear! Alright very welcome in the drinking area they are not in the dining area. Which is just as well I guess. I assume teddy bears are allowed in the dining area because we were with dog we eating this drinking area.
Visit was last minute, got booking straight away over the phone. Amazing service from Ellie, great knowledge on wine, food was amazing compliments to chef, had the casserole and partner and ribeye. Will be back very soon, valentines we hope
Wonderful service with great food. I haven't been for many years to the Fox, but was visiting with my Mum and we stopped by for a bite to eat. I had the Chicken pie. It was good. Friendly staff who helped us through our order as my mother had some dietary requirements. We'll certainly visit again.
Food was good, great choice of drinks. Considering that you pretty much have to book in order to get a table for lunch, the staff could have been a bit more attentive. Post-meal drinks took forever to come out, cups of tea were half-filled. If they take bookings, they should take the amount of tables into account - definitely did not seem like this was the case on our visit.
We enjoyed a really good, well cooked Christmas dinner, delicious!
Drinks service was clunky, but the food came out in good time and it was more than satisfying enough to make up for it whilst being reasonably priced, considering the times. Great place for the family after a long drive. We had some tasty ale, the 'sticky platter' and a pizza to share, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed their lesser offerings of tomato pasta and fries. Picture doesn't really do it justice.
Visited when staying at local Holiday Inn Express. First impressions were good. Full of character and friendly greeting from staff who showed us to table in the restaurant area. After that they seemed to lose interest as left for a while before someone came to take drinks order which then took a while to appear. Placed food order and again took a while for the food to appear. No check back whilst we were eating to make sure everything OK or to see if wanted extra drinks. As plates were being cleared we requested bill and following a long wait with no sign of the bill we went to the bar to pay which seemed to confuse them. Food was really good. We visited on a Tuesday night about 630 and it was quiet with 3 staff on so no excuse for poor service. Would visit again to give it another chance to demonstrate good customer service but that's only because both of us really rated the food
Very mixed experience of a meal out with colleagues. We ordered drinks which took about 20 minutes to arrive but the member of staff was very polite. There were issues with the starters where one of the key ingredients was missing from three of the same dish, and someone with an allergy was only told after ordering that they couldn’t have the sauce so ended up with a dry dish without one of the ingredients pub error or the sauce. They had to mix up their own sauce with the condiments. Had they been told at the time of ordering and they did ask, they could have chosen something else. Service was also quite slow with the starters. With the mains, another ingredient was missing for one person, and service was slow. Again, the person with the allergy was served a dry dish due to the sauce not being suitable. However, did say the rest of the dish was nice. The staff recognised our experience hadn’t been great so they did take some items off the bill without being asked which was much appreciated. Other members of the party really enjoyed the food and the drinks were tasty. The steak was good as well as the chicken from the festive menu. The desserts were also good. So overall a mixed experience.
