Wheelchair access

Children and minors
The Fox is essentially an adult's environment, although supervised children are welcome. Baby changing facilities and high chairs are available.
Dogs
Dogs of the well-behaved and on-the-leash variety are welcome in the front bar and the garden away from dining areas.
Bookings
We do take bookings, but we try to make sure that there is room for customers who are not able to book in advance, so if you have not made a reservation, it's not the end of the world. If there are no tables free we run a waiting list.
Please make bookings by calling or using our online bookings calendar link at the top of the page. Unfortunately we are not able to take bookings via email or facebook.
We don't reserve any of our outside tables so if you enjoy a little alfresco dining these are on a first come first served basis.
Gardens
If you are eating outside it is a great help if you could make a note of your table number before ordering. By the way, could you please keep tops on and shoes on at all times. This applies to blokes as well.
Sadly due to our operation we are not able to cater for very large parties or groups.
