Our 50th wedding celebration on 5/7/25 in the Fox was brilliant. The food was so good, especially the gluten free choice. Thank you for your hard work and for making our day so special. Andy & Julia Bliss
Found this pub on a Sunday walk. Wanted to get a pint but ended up with roast dinners. We had beef and chicken. It was great. Love the food, the people are fantastic and the pub offers comfy seating area, a spacious conservatory and a big garden (with tent!), best for children, furry friends and apparently you can have your events here too! The food was gorgeous… the horseradish is another level altogether!!!!! I’ll definitely come back again.
We held a wake for a family member here. Helen and all her staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Good communication with Helen. Food was plentiful and a good quality. Would highly recommend.
As a Tilehurst resident, there are a selection of local pubs to choose from, all within walking distance. But the Fox & Hounds is the one for me! A proper pub that is frequented by those that are regular attendees and also those that stop by to enjoy its offerings of drink or food, including a choice of real ales. They are working hard at renovating the great beer garden and I am looking forward to the summer and enjoying it in all it’s its glory. Whatever day you visit, you will be welcomed. And every day is different! So watch their social media pages for ongoing events or pop in and discover for yourself. For example, Monday is Free Food night when purchasing a beer or medium wine, so we enjoyed a couple of drinks with yummy jacket potatoes. What is not to love?!
Excellent pub. Friendly staff and locals, real cider available as well as well-kept ales. Option to play darts was taken up and fun was had. Its a bit outside my patch but I look forward to revisiting this pub and would consider it worth the extra effort to get there.
It’s a very unusual pub for the area in as much as it’s a proper drinking establishment and the bar staff are very friendly especially on a Wednesday early evening. It’s a lovely old fashioned pub and the second best pub in Tilehurst behind The Royal Oak
Not the best pub but that's mainly because of the clientele and the intrusive TVs showing whatever sports happen to be on everywhere you can possibly sit, even when nobody's watching. Beer not great and limited choice, usual Amstel, Kronenbourg, Guinness and John Smith's (didn't even think that was still a thing) and usually two real ales. It would be a far nicer place were it not for all the loud, obnoxious blokes swearing and shouting at the bar, especially when they get excited playing darts. Especially unwelcoming if you're the only woman in the place aside from the bar staff. Not a very pleasant atmosphere if you're a women. The garden is big but not even close to achieving its potential and the covered area is only good to sit in if you're a smoker. Picnic tables are shabby, uncomfortable and need replacing. The bar staff are friendly and welcoming though and it's dog friendly. But it needs to attract a more balanced mix of people and get a slightly better choice of beers. Be interesting to see what it's like if they start doing food again. I won't give up hope as it could be so nice.
Great local pub, will kept ale and friendly staff and locals. I didn't eat but the snacks were good. Car park fairly cosy with only a few spaces. Accessibility for disabled may be difficult due to the physical building.
The beer is in good condition, and you shall more than likely receive a warm welcome in this local pub. Carpets at the front and plenty of sport on show, you may well feel like you are at home.
