Mother?s Day treat from my daughters. Roast dinners although waited a while, were good. A good 40+ minutes for desserts was not acceptable. Custard was cold and top layer of bread and butter pudding wasn?t cooked. Grandson (6yrs) had two kids meals as the pizza was SO SMALL it was eaten in least than 3mins and at £6 was

Been here multiple times before and always enjoyed but today's experience was so bad I won't be returning.The service was slow as always, staff were tense and arguing with people on the phone behind us during our meal.We waited nearly and hour for desserts which turned up uncooked, dry and cold. Food is usually great so this was disappointing. We had to pay twice for a children's meal as the first one was so small my nephew was still starving.We paid £35 deposit but unfortunately 3 diners were unable to attend due to illness. We were only given £20 back off the bill despite spending nearly £150 for our meal and not questioning any of the poor quality food for which we were happy to still pay in full.The waiter barely had a chance to explain before a lady shouted at us across the bar that she would not be refunding the other £15 to us. We said it was unfair given we had tried to contact the pub in the morning but the phones weren't answered. She dismissed this and our comments about the children's meal issue and poor desserts. We didn't want an arguement to ruin our mother's day any further than they already had so we paid in full.I am a regular visitor and am really disappointed with todays experience. I regret choosing Fox and Hounds out of all the lovely pubs we have in Godstone for today's meal and I definitely won't be returning any time soon.

A really lovely Mother's Day meal in a proper, independent pub, full of history, atmosphere and friendly and attentive employees. It was our first time but definitely won't be out last!

My previous experience of the food and service at the Fox & Hounds had been consistently good.My experience yesterday 2 March was very bad.It was my sister?s birthday. We were both very disappointed with the slow service. We waited an hour for our meal and had to keep asking how long it would be.The menu was limited to mostly burgers in one form or another. I booked the restaurant, but was told it was reserved for a party. We had to eat in the bar which was noisy. We moved tables 3 times.

We found this place by accident and so glad we did. The food was amazing and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and we have already been back for a second time and the service and food was just as good. This is a little gem of a pub very old and traditional with a lovely open fireplace. I would recommend to anyone to go and try it out. We will definitely be returning again!!

So disappointing! Sorry to say. We were one of two tables being served on a Friday night, not exactly popular!! Only one choice of ale!!!Service was slow and the food over priced.At £18.95 the fish platter was unbelievably poor value, spread out to look like something special!! Prawns in mayonnaise were nice though ? Shameful baguette, not enough to sharePork belly was small, but tender, Pies were over seasoned and the fish pie made with cheap frozen fish pie mix, I think there was a piece of salmon but it was hard to identify, no cream or wine in the sauce to make it in any way worth eating.All the mains came with huge portions of mash which actually was good and a selection of standard steamed vegetables which were very boring. The smells from the kitchen were of old fat on a grill - GRIMThe whole pub is tired, even the loos are not great !

It's so refreshing to find a proper country pub in these days of soulless gastropubs and pubs that think they're restaurants (the Fox and Hounds does have a restaurant but it's separate from the main bar). Good beer, good food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. What more can you want!!!

Had to wait best part of 40 mins for our order to arrive at the table. When I asked the waitress how much longer I was told they have a couple of large tables being served. Not from what I could see. The burger and chips were poor. Burger was so dry it was like eating minced beef. Chips were cooked from frozen. For £16.95 I expect way better. The jacket potato my wife had was poor. Like it came from the hot plate. Small portions.Don?t be fooled by the food photos on the website, it was nothing like that. Very cramped inside with tables packed in. Everyone might as well be sat on one table. It was a joke. Would not recommend this pub to eat in.

Mixed feelings on this one. Came highly recommended by a friend however a little disappointed. Ordered a steak (£25) medium rare , it arrived closer to well done. I did send it back straight away and it was replaced, however my friends had finished their meals by the time my meal had reappeared. Awkward! Also, it's December build up to Christmas. Why not lit a fire in the restaurant side? It was chilly. The staff were friendly and apologetic about the meal. The steak was good the second time around but not sure I would return.

I loved this pub. Never been here before but so glad my friends took me here. The menu was great. There were so many great things to chose from, I couldn't make my mind up what to have. I would recomend it and I will be back without doubt.

Visited recently on a Sunday for a festive meal with a group of friends, thoroughly enjoyed the evening, great atmosphere and the food was lovely.Definitely recommend.

Welcoming atmosphere.. We orered Sunday roast which looked nice but a bit cold and not much veg. No sauce offered . I think overpriced and a cheek to add a service charge especially on the wine we got at the bar. We wont ruturn.
