The Fox, Newfound

In response to HantsHasher dated 6 May 2006.
As a regular visiter to this pub and on speaking terms with the new managers, I feel you should be more clear in your facts and be made aware of a few things. Firstly the managers DO NOT set the price for the beers, that comes from the prices set by the brewery. Secondly I know for a fact that your party of people DID NOT order meals, but Basket meals, and we are all aware that these are quick, cheap alternatives for those who do not wish to have a full sit down meal(you get what you pay for comes to mind)! I am also aware that you were informed that the fox was already booked out with a function that evening, but they would squeeze you in with something as the pub you had already asked had let you down with another booking(how grateful)! You have also forgotten to mention that a couple of your people did order off of the usual menu (homemade soup, jacket potatoes, and omelettes), and it seems they were happy! As a local I find it heartbraking that a large group of people turn up on mass, are helped out of a situation, and then go away and give a bad report. My own point of view is that the pub is one of the friendliest around and the new managers will do their best to help anyone. The food is great and the beer is excellent too. Maybe the problem wasn't the pub at all!!
