Fox & Hounds

Nice pub with a good vibe but have to say when I had some food it was poor, ordered a lasagne — it was just a microwave meal.

I ate here last week with my sister in law and my other half. The food is cheap but not so cheerful.
Pub décor is nice, modern, warm and welcoming. The service was also really friendly and efficient.
Food was slightly below average, my steak was a bit tough, chips were bland, not seasoned and looked like Asda Chosen by You Frozen.
Sister in law’s burger was burnt, the meat and the bun.
My other half’s fish and chips looked pretty good but the chips again looked like they were from supermarket frozen section.
I wouldn’t go back, at £35 for 3 meals and drinks you can get better pub food elsewhere.

This Fox & Hounds is located almost on top of Horsforth train station, on the boundary between Horsforth and Cookridge meaning it has a very local feel about it — you’re unlikely to find any students or out-​of-​towners in here.
And perhaps this is just as well, because this place just exudes Yorkshireness, from it’s cask ales to it’s hearty pub grub and friendly atmosphere. The staff in here are very proud of their casks, and they will let you try-​before-​you-​buy if you’re unsure about which one is for you. They also welcome advice on which cask ales they should stock, which means you’re likely to stumble upon a couple of elderly chaps locked in a fierce ale-​based discussion.
If, like me, you’re not really a cask ale enthusiast, then don’t fear — the food will definitely keep you interested. As a member of a chain — Ember Inns — you might expect microwaved tosh from the Fox and Hounds, but this is not the case. Their food is better than most pub grub you will stumble upon, and realistically priced — if you eat before 5PM, you can get two main meals for £7. Lovely stuff.
