    Romantic tasting menu as a treat to ourselves for Christmas. Beautiful restaurant with well stocked bar and a tastefully decorated garden room (even though a bit chilly). Food was exceptional and professionally presented

    Delicious Christmas dinner at lunchtime. Can't remember the exact title for my chosen starter of soup, but it was absolutely divine. As was the succulent turkey with all of the trimmings, vegetables and gravy. I couldn't manage a dessert, and my husband kindly gave me a taster of his Christmas pudding and brandy butter, all delicious!

    A Sunday Delight at The Rum Fox Our recent Sunday lunch at The Rum Fox was an absolute treat! The Roast Turkey was succulent and juicy, perfectly complemented by crispy roast potatoes, sausage stuffing, and pigs in blankets. The creamed sprouts were a delightful surprise. The rich turkey gravy and tangy cranberry sauce added the perfect finishing touches. To top it all off, the Millionaire shortbread was a decadent dessert. Although, I wish I had ordered the Lemon Meringue Pie, it was so refreshing and light. Maybe next time! The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff. The cozy, festive atmosphere of the venue made it the perfect setting for a leisurely Sunday meal. Highly recommended!
