FancyaPint?'s review...
There aren't many gastropubs on this stretch of the Kingsland Road (none, in fact) so depending on your point of view you'll either welcome the Fox or avoid it entirely. This one goes even further and - like the over-hyped Duke of Cambridge in Angel - prides itself on being organic. Happily, as far as we're concerned, its quite a likeable place. Although we didn't try the food, the menu looked good (if pricey) and reports are positive, but on our first visit it worked just fine as a pub. The lighting was sophisticated and the feel of the place warm, with plenty of couches and candles offset against exposed brickwork. Sure, couches and exposed brickwork are nothing new but it was done pretty well here. There seemed to be an emphasis on being child friendly, so there's the possibly that Sunday Lunch could get a bit heavy-going, but other than that the Fox is a welcome spot for a relaxing drink.

Absolutely terrible.
We went for Sunday Roast lunch and it was terrible, the beef was like boot leather, there were hardly any potatoes and the ‘gravy’ was tomato sauce! When we complained the manager said we should have said something sooner and even though we had left all the beef, which really was inedible they still refused to take anything off the bill. Terrible customer service, although the service from our waitress was satisfactory.
DO NOT EAT HERE! Instead it will annoy you less to simply flush £25 down the toilet.
