The Fox and Hounds, Toys Hill

I can only confirm earlier comments. We have been to the pub a few times since the latest owner took it over and never found it particularly pleasant or welcoming. However, having the landlord swear at a family group with children and and old lady, threaten to call the police and to turn over the garden furniture, because in his opinion we didn't put away our sandwiches quickly enough, has truly plumbed the deepest depths of customer service. The landlord is entitled to enforce his views, though I don't think allowing a group of walkers to eat their sandwiches in an empty beer garden having purchased drinks in the pub would have been such a problem. But landlord's views do not need to be delivered to a family group with the threatening manners of a hooligan. It would simply make no sense to return to this place until it is once again run by a normal person. I am posting this for the sake of other potential visitors, particularly those with children.
