Very Disappointing Breakfast
The Fox was a lovely place to stay while visiting family. The meal that we had on the first night was extremely good, and we had been told that the breakfast was going to be just as good. Unfortunately this was not the case. My husband had the full English, but the black sausage was so dried out that when he put his fork in it it broke into tiny pieces (inedible). The bacon wasn't much better. The hash brown and the mushrooms were ok. However, he was asked how he would like his egg, which did come sunny side up, but was rock hard! I had poached eggs with salmon and the poached eggs were just as solid. This was a great disappointment after being told how good it was going to be. Definitely not worth £25.

Fantastic place. Lucky enough to find The Fox after being let down by The Running Horse and were delighted. All the staff particularly Annie & Liz (at breakfast hope I got the right name) were absolutely brilliant. The room was superb - huge, every possible convenience & spotlessly clean. Both bedroom & bathroom beautifully decorated; great bath & shower. Sadly didn’t have dinner as had reservations elsewhere but judging by breakfast it would have been very good. Definitely returning and can’t recommend highly enough

We loved the Fox.
The Fox team was exceptional, especially Tina. They all made sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our visit. The restaurant staff did a very nice job with the food from breakfast to dinner. We liked the place so much we booked a second night.

Stunning...in every way!
Fantastic pub in a stunning location. Everything was pretty much perfect. Fabulous room, very clean with a great bed and elegant bathroom. Dinner was excellent, quality of food, service, etc all first class. Breakfast was also fabulous - quality ingredients cooked to perfection, presented very well and again service was great. Very difficult to find any fault here. Very friendly too - Alice and Alex along with the waitress (sorry, didn`t get her name) a credit to the business. Probably the best overall stay I`ve had in 20+ years of work related stop-overs. I`ll be back!!

Superb stay at The Fox, Crawley, Winchester. We arrived at The Fox wowed by not only the actual building but the beautiful village it sits in. We were made very welcome by Steve who made us feel at ease straight away, all the staff were very friendly & helpful including Tina at breakfast who helped inspire my husband into taking a tour of the Cathedral ( which he very much enjoyed.) Our room was really lovely, well presented with all the luxuries (& more) you could ask for, the food was exceptional, especially the breakfasts, beautifully presented, probably the best breakfast we have enjoyed from any establishment. Our evening meal was really enjoyable including the birthday dessert plate that was made for my husband, again, beautifully presented. Everything about this hotel exuded excellence without being ‘stuffy’, we are so pleased we found you…we will most definitely be back, thank you so much from two very happy customers.
