"Coronavirus safety: The landlord seems to be taking things fairly seriously, with notices displayed limiting the number of customers inside the pub to 25 and hand gel freely available on the bar. There 's also a 'one out in one in rule ' in place for the loos, although the absence of vacant engaged indicators (as are being used by some of the big chain pubs makes it hard to know if there 's anyone just about to come out just as you 're trying to go in. There are no plastic screens at the bar (as seem to be common in chain pubs and 'test and trace ' registrations are achieved by using a visitor 's book that 's passed from hand to hand between customers, rather than by using separate forms. I was also surprised that, rather than using photocopied disposable menus, the landlord still hands laminated menus out to customers.Ambience, etc: The pub appears to be well laid-out, with separate areas for dining and for playing pool, etc. However, as it was a sunny day, we opted to take our lunch in the pleasant garden, which has small children 's play area and a very friendly cat.Service, etc: We didn 't encounter any of the landlord 's legendary rudeness. (See countless other reviews here! . We actually found him to be polite and courteous. (However my friend did comment that she didn 't like the way he spoke to the chef and that a properly-trained waiter would never clear the plates from in front of two diners while a third diner at the same table was still eating . We had quite a long wait for our food, despite being the only people who 'd placed food orders at that time, leaving us wondering how well the kitchen would be able to cope at busier times.Prices: The Fox 's prices are definitely at the upper end of what one might expect to pay for a Thai lunch, with a main course (including rice typically costing around £15. That 's over double what some Thai restaurants charge for lunch (e.g. Siam Thai in Braintree , a fiver or so more than some other East Anglian Thai pubs charge (e.g. The Vine in Norwich and even a pound or two more than one might pay in a Thai pub in central London (e.g. The Lemon Tree in Covent Garden . Food: Everything was clearly freshly-prepared to order, using good quality ingredients. A friend and I each had (different prawn dishes, where there were loads of king prawns (rather than just the handful that some places serve one with but we both found that the sauces used were very bland, lacking the 'zing ' that Thai food often has (and which was promised by the menu . Our other friend though, who 'd opted for a yellow curry, seemed fully satisfied with his dish.Summary: While there was nothing to seriously complain about (and, indeed, we generally enjoyed our experience , we still felt that we won 't be rushing back to The Fox at any time in the near future."

I had a wonderful 84th birthday meal and drinks at The Fox. The service provided by Jummy, the landlord, was top-notch. The meal, prepared by Nan, a delightful Thai lady, was absolutely fantastic. Overall, I had a fantastic birthday celebration at The Fox.

After reading the reviews I was a bit dubious about what to expect but all I can say is what an amazing meal and dinning experience. We have eaten Tai food at many top restaurants around the country and in my opinion this rates as one of the best. The service was excellent and I must say that our waitress Tamsin was a real credit to the restaurant, nothing was to much trouble. Jimmy who It turns out is the owner was such a character he really made our night, he really is a star. I enquired as to who the chef was and her name is Nan, absolutely amazing food. A great night had and can't wait to return.

The food at this pub/restaurant is incredibly overpriced and lacks authenticity. On a recent trip back from Cambridge, we ordered six dishes and the only authentic and tasty one was a papaya salad that the Thai chef kindly prepared for us, despite not being on the menu. The main dishes were bland and seemed to taste the same, despite being different orders. The Tom Yum soup was not fresh and was made from powder. A side of vegetables in oyster sauce was disappointing, as it only contained broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and English mushrooms, rather than the more expensive oyster or shiitake mushrooms one might expect for the price of £7.95.

Me and my husband Arrived to be greeted at the bar by a young lady who was clearly under the influence of something, tho she did not serve our food, But the lady who did was fantastic and polite, we found it incredible watching this younger lady dart around the pub frantically, whilst on the her mobile phone, it was our nights entertainment wasn’t sure if we had entered a restaurant or some sort of half way house, but on the positive side the food was excellent and could not be faulted. If our rating was based purely on food and restaurant service this would be a definite 4 star, this is just not what we expected to see whilst having our meal

I went with my good friend to celebrate his birthday and had a terrific time. The landlord Jimmy was very welcoming and the food was exquisite. We had a mixed starter which was fired zucchini, prawns, spring rolls, chicken satay and four dips. I had a delicious prawn curry with coconut rice. I can sincerely say it was one of the nicest curries I have ever eaten. My friend has rib eye stake and noodles. I tasted his steak and it was flavoursome and tender. I see from previous reviews the landlord has a stern reputation. The restaurant is also a bar and his focus is on his diners. He wants to ensure a pleasant experience for them and doesn’t want rowdy people, or the uncouth, spoiling it. He h...
