“A greasy dissapointment!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My husband and i were visiting Kirkby Lonsdale and called into The Snooty Fox as we saw a meal deal menu board outside. On going inside it seemed dark and rather gloomy, however we decided to have a drink and choose our meal deal. I chose pate and toast, my husband chose the soup of the day. The pate was obviously just a chunk of shop bought average quality,and the toast was barely toasted. The soup was also only average. For our next course we had both chosen fish and chips with peas. As soon as the plates were put on the table we both commented on how greasy the fish looked. We tried to eat the battered fish but the grease was overpowering, on removing the batter there was a tiny piece of poor quality fish in yet more grease! The waitress came across and asked if everything was alright with our meal and we said " no it was too greasy", she said she would tell her boss the landlord. Eventually we decided we could look at this greasy platter no more and so finished our drinks and put on our jackets. The landlord came across to clear our plates and on seeing the unfinished hardly eaten meals asked us if our meal had been ok? On telling him that no it had been awful and far to greasy to eat, his only reply was to say that he "would tell the chef"! There was no apology and no offer of any refund! We had wasted £20.00 in total and don't want other travelers to waste their money.

Room Tip: Sorry we did'nt look at the rooms.

We had a meal at the Snooty Fox on sunday
we chose the sunday roast of beef it can only be discribed as bad
the beef was tough the vegatables where cold the yorkshire pudding must of been under a heat lamp all day as it was hard and not easy to cut through.
there was a table of 4 on the next to us who order beef and lanb when the waitress brought it she did not know which was lamb and which was beef.
they sent theirs back as it was cold.
i wish we hade and got our money back.
do not eat hear as it is poor.

“Excellent food and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2010

We visited the Snooty Fox Tavern this weekend and couldnt believe how busy it was, we were still able to get served very quickly and managed to get a table(nearly all were taken) both the beer and the food were excellent and we were all looked after very well by the well mannered staff. We will certainly be visiting again

“Friendly staff, excellent service, great meal typical old tavern premises”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2010

person found this review helpful

We had been tempted to eat at an alternative pub in KL as there was an offer on the price of the steak meals but decided to try our base (Snooty Fox) instead...what a brilliant decision, 6 excellent meals, superb service and a night of good humoured banter with the friendly staff. The building is aged and therefore do not expect modern surroundings but instead enjoy the authentic character of the place. No problem with cleanliness, although I did mention a problem with the shower in my room and within 10 minutes or so I was offered a change of room which I accepted. The alternative room was totally adequate, my problem solved and confirmation from the owners they are in progress to sort out the other room. Breakfast gave a choice of juices, choices of cereals and option of full English breakfast or any parts thereof, very nice. I would recommend the place but go expecting a country tavern not a five star hotel. I had to leave the second day at short notice around tea time and just to add a touch of their fairness, they refused to take payment for the room and breakfast despite it being booked for a few months and it being highly unlikely that they would be able to let it again for that night...yes if in the area I would stay again.
