Went to the Fox and Houds for a quiet meal...we both ordered steak, its my favourite meal out...unfortunately both of us had trouble chewing our way through more than a couple of mouthfuls...and it looked lovely and boh were cooked to perfection! I spoke to the landlady who could not have been more apologetic and whipped our plates away..when asked what we'd like instead we both decided that it had put us off a bit so we plumped for good old bacon cutties..and Im so glad we did...lovely thick slices of gorgeous fresh bread, lots of bacon, just crispy enough and tomato ketchup as ordered...I also had some chips to go with it which were crispy hot and delicious... The landlay removed all main meals from the bill so we paid only for the wine that was drunk..all in all she changed what could have been a disastrous evening into a good one..well done her, and the chef too who came up trumps.. Having eaten there a fair few time, its near to my parents, this is the first time Ive had to complain..and it was sorted out beautifully.. Thanks again to the landlady and aher staff....

ReportLike quite a few pubs and restauarants in Fleet the Fox & Hounds held a Royal Wedding party between 2-4pm in the shape of a BBQ. Always a pleasure to sit outside this public house next to the canal to soak up some rays and sample their fayre. Only ever had one disapointing meal there - when they ran out of a dish and didn't tell us after we'd been waiting for a while. Menu perhaps is a little limiting if you are wheat or dairy intolerant as most dishes have pasta or bread. But still a good place to go for location and summer ambience....
The Fox & Hound is beautifully located right on the Basingstoke Canal which runs through Fleet. This acts as the perfect setting for a nice meal. The food here is especially nice as its homemade as that unique taste to it. Its located more towards Church Crookham than Fleet town centre but perfect for that nice meal or summer pint by the water.
