    We went to La Petit Petanque for a family celebration meal, we had a great time! The food was delicious, service was great, ambience is really lovely. Overall it was very good value. It was a very hot day but it was cool inside and we had a lovely view of the bowling green. I'd definitely come again, 5 stars!

    I wanted a tea that wasn’t too twee and was a bit quirky while still keeping that lovely afternoon tea feel, and this was perfect. The Patisserie is lovely inside, the staff are wonderful and attentive and the food itself was absolutely delicious. We had a lovely afternoon at the Fancy Fox and would highly recommend them.

    The venue is beautiful and a calm setting with great views. The food was on the whole was ample and a good selection. The sandwiches were a little dry on both sides and although there was a great selection of cakes, there were three of us and sometimes only 1 or 2 of the mini cakes on offer. Everything else had three eg three sandwiches, three scones Every all it was a great experience and value for money.
