After about ten or so visits to the Fox I think I'll look elsewhere for a Saturday lunch time meal. I always struggle to find anything that I like on the bar menu. I didn't fancy chips so I chose the sausage an' mash in onion gravy. While that was cooking I checked out the ales.
I'm not sure if I am unlucky, but it's the same old story, time and time again. You have a choice of......wait for it. Yes, you've guessed, GK IPA, Abbot and Speckled shite, er sorry, Hen. Not to worry though, there is another pump reserved for the guest beer. The pump clip tells me that it's not one I have tried before. "Barman, I'll have a pint of that, please." "Sorry sir, it ran out last night. The locals loved it" Well lucky them, thanks pal. Every time this happens. Why couldn't he put on another barrel that Saturday morning?
Before I could take a sip of my Green speckled abbot my food arrived. Very quick service I thought - I'm impressed.
Two nice-looking bangers, mash, veg' and gravy. Hang on, where's the onion? Oh there it is......under that pea. No wonder it arrived quickly - couldn't wait for the onions to cook. Don't bother complaining though. When it comes to paying the bill all the response you get is: "I'll have a word with chef." Well chef can stick his onion gravy up his speckled hen!!!
Is there anyone out there who knows of a pub in the Herts area that does good food and serving guest ales - not GK or MuckMullen's, please?

used to be one of my favourite pubs in hertford heath, all changed on my last visit with a group of friends. ordered drinks and food it wasnt till everyone finished the main course that we all noticed the communal vegtables in the middle of the table had a caterpillar and a half on the edge of the plate, we felt a bit icky after that, the waitress noticed it and she came back with appoligies from the chief.

the only compensation we got was a foxes mint afterwards with the bill(guess that was to take the flavour away!), i cant believe they still charged full price for the meal!

Hey,it`s not all that bad!Mind you,I have never eaten there,but for a pint in pleasant surroundings it`s OK.Have not been to one of their "tribute"nights.
Beer is ok.Usual choices,IPA,Abbot,Speckled Hen plus a guest which changes every few weeks or so.Just stick with the crisps!

I SPENT £8.00 ON A MEAL THAT WAS WORTH ABOUT £1.50.THE PUB WAS SMELLY AND DIRTY AND IF YOU EAT IN THIS PUB THEN YOU HAVE NO TASTE SPUDS AND THE DIGESTION OF A GREAT WHITE SHARK. DO NOT EVER HAVE GROOL FROM THIS HORID PUB.

Its nice for a pint in the summer, but the food is sub-standard and heavily overpriced. I used to work in the kitchen of this pub, if you are wise, you won't ever eat at the Silver Fox.
