| I must be a mug for this place All fine until time to pay! Cheapest beer. Adnam's Bitter at an all time high of £3.48. Hadn't the courage to ask about any others, having being stung as in previous reviews. Good to know The Fox continues to maintain its high standard! Despite the pricing policy, the car park never looks as empty as the header picture and they seem to have no problem extracting the readies, although I am led to believe many of its former locals have sought pastures new. As I reiterate, Nice Pub, shame about the beer price. Otherwise if you put price aside, you will not be disappointed. Date of visit 13/06/2014 Ravenousdrythroat - 25 Jun 2014 23:38 |
| Hops 'n' Malt: I too visited this pub long, long ago, when staying in Waldringfield, and remember it exactly as you describe (Tolly Cobbold were still brewing then, and the Rolling Stones had just released "Let It Bleed"). I've often wondered how it turned out, and was interested to read the reviews. Hope I pass that way again before too long. eddybeer - 18 Jun 2013 14:00 |
| Great food is still available at the Fox, today's Celery and Stilton soup was a real showstopper. The beer price has climbed since my last visit. Today Sharp's Doombar was on at £3.88: More worrying was local brewer Adnam's Spindrift at an all time record price for me for a Monday Lunchtime in rural Suffolk.......£3.98. The standard of presentation and service remain excellent as before. Shame about the beer price, spoils an otherwise perfect pub. Ravenousdrythroat - 17 Jun 2013 23:30 |
| Top marks to the Fox for being able to maintain a consistent high standard. The food remains excellent, and the beer price is still at a level guaranteed to curb excess enjoyment. Ravenousdrythroat - 28 Jan 2013 12:21 |
| This pub has all the rural charm and character of a bygone age, but has its finger firmly on the pulse of survival in the 21st Century. This is well hidden away in the village of Newbourne, but signposted well from the main A12 trunk road. Monday lunchtime eats on a somewhat cold and damp summer day was a surprise, expecting it to be deserted, it was nicely full, warm and cosy. Good range of hand pulled ales, plus the usual beer factory offerings. Foodwise enough choice for most tastes, all priced at the upper end, but that said, reasonable value as the portions were all larger than expected, given that our party of 4 had chosen from the "2 courses for �9.95" selection. Good attentive service, even though these were bar meals. For a more formal gathering, there is a rather nice dining room. Other reviews hint that the quality offering can be variable, but for us the food was fine.Outside a large beer garden overlooks a duckpond and the car park, all in all a good setting for a drink on warmer days. Alas, as the pub is in the same group as the nearby Maybush, the final bill was no surprise. They still sell expensive beer.....Plain Adnam's Bitter at �3.28 and St Austell Tribute as a guest ale had travelled well, but well overpriced at an eye watering �3.78, as printed on the bill. In conclusion, a very pleasant pub, but for me just a little too expensive to be a regular haunt. Ravenousdrythroat - 17 Jul 2012 11:11 |
