“I left Riseley 50 years ago and it was lovely to be back, a warm welcome at The Fox and Hounds, great atmosphere, staff and a fantastic choice of vegan food. They even gave me an early birthday chocolate brownie. Hopefully not 50 years until next time.”

“Great vibe here. Older crowd generally speaking. The music is always fantastic. Latest tunes mixed in with the old skool stuff. Would be nice if they did a 241 happy hour as i would come here earlier than go to slug and lettuce around the corner. Always a great night out!”

“Really nice place to stay with an excellent welcome. The food was excellent, I ordered the Chicken Liver Pate, The Wagu Burger with Stilton, Mushrooms and Bacon and finally had the Apple Crumble to finish.... Outstanding freshly made food, absolutely fantastic...”

“I honestly don't know what people are moaning about. We pulled up on the boat. Free of charge And were greeted with great hospitality. We had the best cider and food was delicious the fish and chips was the best ever fish was nice and thick. Chips were awesome cooked perfectly home made tarter sauce hot. Butter to melt over extra crusty bread. My cheese and chicken leak pie was hand made cooked in an oven skillet pan , beautiful and ate outside before falling asleep on the boat woke up had cappachino and cooked breakfast. Claiton was lovely my cappachino was taken to a sunny table in the garden. Best experience ever.”

“Great village pub with cosy open fires. Seems to be a little short of staff these days but they keep smiling. The manager Mark is always there to welcome you or to say goodbye when you leave even when he's having a beer.”

“I love this place. Probably it's combination of all: the amazing park (it's inside Bedford Park), the restaurant building (old-ish), the natural style decor & cleanliness, relax & friendly atmosphere, last but not least can order eggs benedict, which not too fancy, but quite delicious. Food fingers also available. I'm a tea drinker but not a sweet tooth person. The yogurt is rather too sweet for my liking. Wished they aren't, because I like the taste.”
