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!

The Rum Fox has fabulous sauces and gravy. I know that’s an odd way to start a review, but it’s a great addition to their beautiful food every time. We were in the restaurant area yesterday, it’s a modern addition with clean lines and big windows. A lovely light and airy space. Previously we have always dined in the bar area, which is more traditional and cosy. Love both dining spaces. Every dish we had was beautiful, served with just the right amount of food and sides. All 3 people in the party really enjoyed our lunch.

This was our first visit and we were not disappointed. The welcome was warm and we were shown to our table which happened to be opposite a log fire. Service was prompt and we had a really good meal of cheese soufflé followed by roast pork.
