FROM the outside the Fox and Goose looks remarkably like a typical village pub - you can imagine the vicar from the church next door enjoying a pint of ale with the local GP and farmer. But the Fox and Goose is most definitely not all that it appears.
In fact, its not actually a pub but a charming restaurant with excellent value for money food that gains and entry in the Michelin guide.
The Fox is divided into two sections - an area which feels like your favourite aunties lounge where you can go and sit in front of a log fire while you have a drink and choose your food.
The restaurant itself is very comfortable with generous size tables and a typically village view of the parish church
In March the set lunch was £11.95 for two courses. An example starter was smoked mackerel risotto garnished with rocket - very enjoyable, although heavy handed use of mackerel overpowered the mellow risotto flavour.
An example main was pork, mash and apple sauce, which broccoli. It was very well presented and the ingredients tasted as if they were all sourced locally, although this was not stated on any of the menus. One pudding option was treacle tart with rhubarb - excellent.
The only slight criticism of the meal was the bread, which although was baked on site, was heavy and doughy. Management did not respond positively when they asked if everything was ok, and the bread issue was mentioned amid a flurry of compliments. The response was well we like it.
For the price the Fox offered excellent value for money and if you stumbled across it thinking it was a pub, you would be very pleasantly surprised by the quality and effort that has gone into the food. A bit of fine honing and a few tweaks here and there and this could be an absolute gem in the middle of the sticks.
