The Fox Goes Free

Came here after an adventure at Whittamore farms. Chose the pub based on the awesome name. Very friendly service and decent pub grub. !

GREAT wings, great food, great beer, good service, decent prices. What more can you want in a pub?

It’s a pub. It has pub food, it has beer. Bring your own friends and it’s fun.
The Fox is a very local (but welcome to anyone) drinking hole. The service (Ashley) is very friendly and down to earth.
You never know the strangers you might meet or not. Not bad for people watching sometimes. Sometimes busy, sometimes dead.
The food is generally good and I have tried quite a few items. Nothing absolutely spectacular, but never anything bad.
Everything a pub ought to be. I would not change much.

So much for redeeming themselves! I went here last night for dinner and had my heart set on having Bangers ‘n Mash only to find out that they have, yet again, removed it from their menu!
Upon expressing my displeasure to our server, she advised that they now only have it occasionally as a special but that she would check with the kitchen to see if they would be able to prepare it for me (even though it was not listed as the special that evening) and they obliged.
Now I’m not exactly sure what’s happened over the course of time but this was the worst Bangers ‘n Mash I have ever had! There was far too much gravy on the bangers, none on the mash and only a pittance of baked beans. To top it off, the bangers themselves were horrible and had no flavour at all.
Apparently I will be on the search for a new favourite place for Bangers ‘n Mash.
Even thought the service was very good and they did agree to make the dish despite it not being on the menu that evening, I have to leave them at a 2-​star for now because this dish was a disaster. So sad.

great burgers and specials with a large selection of drafts

I have been going to the Fox since it opened back around 1995. It is a quaint little cottage of sorts in my mind that has a truly Irish/​English feel to it. The staff are simply amazing and the crowd that attends are very lively and friendly. The Guiness is one of the best in the GTA bar none.
Only concern I have is the food used to be standard pub fare prepared with quality and quantity in mind. In the past three years they have tried to go upscale in the dishes they serve and have failed. For example, a salad now contains leaves you might find on a tree. I miss the menu of old and they should admit their mistake and return it to the pub of choice that it once was for me.
