I agree with Paige. Your 6 seemed very generous indeed. Based on looks before you started eating, the pie looked dry and the veggies seemed undercooked. Add that to the forgotten items and a ridiculously expensive bill, that's a 3 at best.

The Fox & Hounds here should be renamed The Bull & Rhino... Because they certainly know how to "charge"... Dry Steak & Ale Pies... Cold Undercooked Vegetables... Ordinary Looking Chips... Thin Watery Gravy... Missing Vegetables... Missing Cheese... Expensive Soft Drinks... And by the looks of their menu... Everything is way overpriced... For instance... On the Side Dishes list they're charging... £6 for French Fries... £6 for Garlic Bread... £9 for Cheesy Chips... £5 for Coleslaw... £6 for Onion Rings... I'm sorry Lee... But Paige got it spot on here... They didn't deserve a score any higher than a 3/10... There were so many red flags here mate... And to give it a 6/10 score is extremely generous on your part Lee... The issues you both had... And the unwarranted high prices here... Means i'll only give it a 2/10.

Here is my scoring: Lunch with you daughter and grandson always a 10. Location a 10 a beautiful location. Food - the steak and ale pie plenty of steak but it appeared dry. The gravy was very thin, it resembled more closely au jus than gravy. Chips and veg generous portions so food score 4.75. Value for money - 4.0

The pie looked drier than a nun’s chuff, chips looked like scrag ends. Gravy looked more like stock than gravy. As a former publican I know that soft drinks are the biggest money spinner out there. Your £3.30 drink probably costs no more than 20p to make. £1.20 for a dash of lemonade is scandalous. The shame of things like this is it send people into the arms of the likes of Neverspoons.

While you are pouring the gravy on, and before you mention anything. The pie was cut from cold and then cooked wasn’t it? You can see the flat cut beef at the side of the pies, and after heating, the beef has stayed in place, and not moved with the gravy inside the pie. That’s a bit odd, don’t you think?
