Snooty Fox, Lowickback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Visited the Snooty fox and was disappointed, They had three real ales on tap, Green King IPA, London Pride and one other, Amstel and the usual suspects.. Modern Bistro style pub, Specials on the board, surprisingly few.. vast swathes of empty blackboard, lunch menu had 3 starters, 4 mains and 4 deserts, told straight away that one of the mains was off..Ordered Pate, Mrs Z decided to have the same, told sorry mine was last, mains ordered, Belly pork with crackling, fish and chips, and a half pound burger..Starter Pate, good but a bit too much fat on the top, mushrooms on bruschetta (toast) luke warm.. Mains burger excellent, vey good chips excellent cooked twice just the way you should to get chip perfection, sadly the fish had been cooked twice too.. warmed in the oven i suspect due to the elastic nature of the batter, my peas were lukewarm having only just made it out of the microwave being warmed, 30 seconds less would have seen them still chilled, The belly pork was a disaster, flacid and disgusting, very little meat.. no crackling, appeared that this and my fish and chips had vanished from the special board so these too were the last portions.. clearly getting ready for the weekend by selling off your food to unsuspecting patrons on the friday..unacceptable..
We told the waitress of our concerns and she went from smiling and happy to looking horrified and just ..well..left..when she reappeared she deducted the pork from the bill.. Whilst it was good of them to do this, it shouldn't have happened..very few patrons, and it perhaps explains why, A refreshing menu and this pub would be busy. as it is ,it is very near empty, and if its because of the slow service and menu i wouldn't be surprised..
On the up side the car park was large and empty, and the toilets were spotless, the staff are friendly but clearly don't know quite what to do in the case of complaint. Comfy sofas but a lot too modern..A Pity

This place is way to expensive for what you get a big thumbs down

Very pleasant pub with good atmosphere and well cared for beer ,We had a meal there last night (4 of us) Presentation was good but we all had steak and all agreed that it had no flavour even though we all had it cooked differently ,we mentioned this to the waitress who said she would tell the chef
Starters were excellent we all agreed, but we didnt try the desserts as we all felt
disillusioned after the main course
|
Very attractive old dining pub without pretensions - food appeared very good, sadly the Wdworths was a bit tired.
|
This is our favourite pub. Have always had a great time there, food out of this world
|
Great food , highly recommended if you like steak. Cab=nt comment on ale as a Guiness man. Lovely atmosphere. Seek this one out.

The Snooty Fox in Lowick dates back to the late 16th century, it was originally built as The Manor House. Today, it is a sensational pub with a rotisserie and grill restaurant.
