The Folly is a proper old fashioned locals pub, but a very friendly one too.It's very small - two…read moresmall rooms with a central bar area, and the toilets are in a block out the back. Sport is very important here and one bar is dominated by a huge flat screen TV; the other has a smaller TV and a dart board. The pub shows both SKY and Setanta and it's rare to go in there and not find some sport showing, though visitors at teatime might catch a quiz or cooking show instead! The pub doesn't do food though you'll sometimes find a bowl of crisps or peanuts on the bar. Beer is good - there are usually four real ales as well as the usual selections of lager, spirits etc. The pub wouldn't win any prizes for design, it's a bit of a spit and sawdust type place but staff and regulars are a friendly bunch and dogs are also very welcome.

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

We had noted that the pub served chinese food and at first never thought of trying it as we were just out for a pint,that was until one day when feeling a bit peckish decided to try some food there ,and from then i we were hooked as it is undoubtedly the best chinese food for miles around and yet sadly still very much undiscovered.Now it may sound like i am the landlord or one of his friends trying to cheaply promote but i can assure you i am not ,just go there and try the food and you will realize the truth

Outside the restaurant offers a lovely scenic view of a wooded area. This also means that the pub is super for having a quick bite to eat off their reasonably priced menu, before heading onto a countryside walk into the woods for an afternoon. Aside from the nature outside, inside the building offers a warm, mature and characteristic atmosphere which would be well suited for all couples, business meals, families, or the occasional visit with your grandparents for a Sunday lunch. I would certainly recommend for others to visit this pub restaurant.

Main coarses are about £11.50, which I consider fantastic value. If you compare this to other pubs where we have paid £8.95 and had a couple of slices of fatty meat and hard nearly uncooked veg, I would rather pay the little extra and have a superior meal in excellent surrounds, try it for yourself, but remeber to book as it is very popular, must be the good food

This quaint, family run restaurant has great service and excellent food. My favorite is the fillet with the peppercorn sauce and I order the mashed potatoes instead of the fries. My understanding is that the restaurant butchers their own meat and it has been outstanding every time I've visited. Cooked medium rare with a pint of beer, what could be better!? I've tried several of the appetizers and all have been very good. If you're in the area, you won't be disappointed with the Fox and Hounds.

We visited together a week or two ago and repeated the experience with our daughter and her husband, our son and our grandchild for lunch on 23rd December. The Food and service was exceptional in both quality and quantity, the starters were Artichoke Soup for some superb, and in particular the Rack of Lamb the Real Ham off the bone and the very tender Rib Eye Steak. All with the personal service of the proprietor Michael. All in all the meals were substantial and not over priced. Reasonably priced Pinot Grigiot Rose with good local ales make this the must visit pub in the Vale of the White Horse. This very improved local deserves an increase in visitors and support from locals and visitors to the village of Uffington alike, hopefully not to the extent that we will not be able to get a seat!!!!!

The desserts were awesome and the hot chocolate fondant was ever so light, creamy and rich. A good selection of wines and all other drinks from the pub served by staff who couldn't do enough for us. Extremely busy and a good idea to book as I don't think there are many restaurants of that standard in the area. Quite a few certificates stating that they are in the Good Food Guide and Michelin Guide etc.
