Perched atop Boars Hill just a few miles southwest of Oxford, The Fox Inn offers stunning views over the famed 'dreaming spires' and surrounding countryside, a vista particularly enjoyed from its large outdoor terrace and garden. This traditional-looking pub, with a history dating back to the 1930s, features inviting open fires and classic wooden beams, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere within its rambling, multi-level interior. Popular with walkers exploring the nearby routes and those seeking a quintessential country pub experience, The Fox Inn has undergone refurbishments to enhance its charm while retaining a welcoming feel for both diners and those simply wanting a pint. It's a place where you can comfortably arrive in wellies after a dog walk, as canine friends are welcome in the bar area.
The Fox Inn prides itself on an informal dining experience centred around fresh British food, complemented by a selection of wines, cocktails, beers, and real ales. Recent management has focused on establishing a reputation for high-quality food, with up to four real ales often available, including selections like Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker and offerings from local breweries. While the menu can feature gastropub-style dishes, with reviews praising fresh and well-prepared food, the pub also strives to maintain a true pub atmosphere where drinkers feel just as welcome as those enjoying a full meal. The pub also offers features like a darts board and Aunt Sally in the garden, catering to a traditional pub-going crowd alongside its dining patrons.
