Review
"It is the first chance we have had to write regarding our stay the Sunday before last on the Jazz Deal Package. Once again we had a brilliant stay and cannot commend the Duty Manager and all the staff enough. The service was first class and the meal on Sunday night was exceptional. We have eaten at some of the best restaurants, i.e. The Ivy, Langans, Clarages etc and the food served at The Fox is as good as any of them, you should be proud of your chefs and all of your staff who collectively contributed in making our stay a memorable one.
The Manager was again on duty at breakfast on Monday morning and was just as efficient and friendly as he was the night before after a busy service.
Thank you for such a nice stay and we will be back again in the near future."

Town centre inns don’t get much better than The Fox – a stunning 15th-century building opposite the Abbey Gardens, a stroll from the famous cathedral. Refurbished with style and panache by passionate owners, it draws foodies for seasonal dishes that champion local produce: free-range farm meats, Bury-baked bread, organic milk and local free range eggs. Escape the shops and bag a table by the fire in the Green Room, replete with fine Jacobean panelling, painted Lloyd Loom chairs and fresh flowers.There’s duck liver and tarragon parfait, old Spot pork loin with cider cream sauce, haddock with beetroot and caper relish; or relax over a roast leg of lamb with fresh mint stuffing for Sunday lunch. Beautiful, hugely comfortable bedrooms, crafted from a period barn in 2008, individually styled using locally sourced and reclaimed materials are the cherry on the cake. Expect oak floors, old brick walls, Cole & Sons wallpapers, hand made brass beds, super-swish bathrooms, and, in the spacious and raftered Hayloft Suite, a super-size contemporary oak four-poster with a bath for two.
