About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Great for craft beers
  • Good for groups
The Fox Inn is situated towards the edge of the beautiful rural village of Boars Hill, about six miles from Oxford, straddling the boundary between the civil parishes of Sunningwell and Wootton. The village was historically part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire.

The pub itself dates back to the 1930s and exhibits a truly traditional building with stunning wooden beams and inviting open fires for the colder British seasons. With plenty of parking, a large outside terrace and excellent accessibility we offer something for everyone, all year round. We also welcome our canine friends in the bar area. Our aim is to create an informal dining experience featuring fantastic fresh British food, a selection of wines and cocktails, beers and real ales.

    First time to this place for years. Started badly when the pub claimed not to have received my booking despite having had a confirmation email. We got seated after a while but then had to wait a long time for our order to be taken (and had to go off and hunt for a wine list myself). Ordered wine and tap water but both took a long time and several times looking over at the waitress before they arrived. After waiting nearly an hour for food we were told it would be 6 minutes. It eventually arrived 20 minutes later. Most was OK except for my daughter’s pizza which was completely uncooked dough in the middle. When we sent it back we were told that the oven was the wrong temperature. Another arrived after a while with apologies that it was still uncooked and a suggestion that we cook it at home!

    Really disappointing visit we were waiting for 15 minutes for drinks and when we received the menu the majority of items had run out. Very small set menu for a Sunday, initially told that there was enough for 1 chicken Sunday roast and then told it was not available only to hear the waitress offer 2 chicken roasts to the next table! My daughters pizza was unavailable after we ordered and my son had steak of the Children’s menu that was tiny he was starving! The place was freezing too I was really disappointed

    Very good food and service was excellent and friendly, just a minor comment it can get busy so slightly longer wait time but the quality of the food more than compensates.

    Far to much salt in everything service was slow, although that didn’t matter on this occasion.
