Fox Inn, Boars Hillback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Recently transformed from a Chef and Brewer although the livery hasn't changed much - the location is smart (this is High Tory country) and the pub must once have been a half timbered gem - while it's far from unsympathetically done up, it's still a bit clinical. Butcombe and Bombardier are on tap which is just the right side of OK. The food sounds good but witnesses pronounce it to be over priced so this is probably another self-styled gastropub.

Went to this pub for a family occasion last week; despite having booked, we had to wait over an hour for a table. A Sunday Roast at �9 contained just one slice of meat, no sauce available. A large glass of wine was served in a tumbler (We've run out of glasses)! Oh Dear. What used to be a nice country pub has really gone downhill.

Since comments previous to this, this pub has been taken over by Chef & Brewer, and ruined. Food was barely acceptable, service was so bad I was prompted to post a review on some random website!

Fantastic food, eaten in a very sunny pub garden - pure bliss

Excellent pub - if you're on a girls night out and don't mind a bit of a trek it's great - at least you don't get hassled by drunk guys and the menu is suberb.

the fox inn at boars hill is a simply super public house, although some of the locals were a bit funny
