I was eating alone but still made to feel very welcome by the two waitresses. I was seated in an area that allowed me to chat with the neighbouring tables without encroaching upon their presence.

This was our 2nd visit to the Smokin' Fox & we were not disappointed. We had booked in especially for the chicken wings which are outstanding. Great range of beers ect to pair up with the wings. Staff on both visits have been very friendly with a good sense of humour and the service is quick.

Booked a table for our friends birthday and managed to get a booth. We had a tv right next to us so we could watch the football and the rugby. Ordered some food and the pizzas were amazing. The tacos were rather small considering the price. Waiting staff were great and music was just the right level ⭐️
