The Fox and Hounds, Toys Hill

I can't help wondering whether the lovely setting has left the landlord indifferent to the need to treat customers well - particularly those unfortunate enough to venture there with kids.
I was (almost) prepared to overlook the unambitious food at lofty prices, but all charitable thoughts came to a swift end.
Snapping at (and upsetting) a two-year-old who dared to enjoy himself in an near-empty garden seemed a little excessive.
But perhaps this is to be expected from an establishment with a "no buggies" sign on the door.
I won't be spending money there again and wouldn't encourage other parents to stop off for a family lunch.
