We walked thoughts bar side with a lot of people and a commotion going on. We found out it was horse racing. We worked our way to the dining room side where it was not busy and finally someone showed us a table with menus. Our server was very nice but was managing the dining orders plus the bar side. She definitely needed help. We started with shoestring fries and an Apple Cider on tap. I ordered the Beef Cheeks and my husband ordered the Pasta Carbonara as entrees. They were both really good. My beef was so tender that I cleaned my place . I'm glad we hiked today.

Servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient; food came quickly, and the place had a great, social vibe. There's a lively pool table in the bar area. You know it's good when the classy locals hang at the bar (as opposed to the local who's drunk at 1:00pm on a Monday and hitting on the waitress...which we witnessed at another place in Fox). My wife loved that the whole place was warm. Good, free WiFi. And delicious dessert!!

We tried the bait fish omelette appetizer. It was amazing with the mayo sauce on it. Actually not so great without it. For our mains, we had the bangers and mash and the pork ribs. I would recommend the bangers and mash, but not the pork ribs. They were dried out, overly drenched in sauce on a bed of french fries. The french fries were fine, but not my favorite type and became soggy quickly with all the barbecue sauce. I definitely would not order the ribs again. For dessert we had the sticky pudding and it was excellent. A good variety of wine and beer choices. We recommend the Alice May export gold beer and the Villa Maria Pinot Noir.

We had the pan roasted chicken breast and the bangers and mash. The chicken breast was really, really dry and tough. I loved the abundance of accompanying vegetables though. Taste was average. The venison bangers were better. Not too gamey. Service was a little inefficient. The servers didn't have assigned tables. We had about 4 different servers helping us at various times.
