The Fox & Hounds, Faringdon

What a great pub! Walked here from a local campsite with two 4 year olds on a wild bank holiday Sunday lunch. The pub was busy with a large organized cycle ride using it as a checkpoint but the staff were friendly and served me a great pint of Fox & Hounds Bitter. We stopped for Sunday lunch and battled through another 3 pints, before deciding to leave. It was hammering it down an on asking the landlord for a taxi number, he offered to take all of us to the camp site. this is service above and beyond the call of duty. We were very, very grateful as the kids would have been grumpy for the rest of the week if we had made them walk back. Food was excellent, even though we only had ham, egg and chips. The Sunday roasts looked massive and many people were tucking in. Great country pub, highly recommended.

This is a really pleasant country pub, 3 rooms, set in a quiet working village near the White Horse monument yet off the beaten track with a fairly new landlord. Dogs, ramblers and various other mammals are heartily welcomed. The food is excellent, the egg and chips being great value for money. Fish is a speciality, but only when delivered that day. I had a pint of Hobgoblin which was in first class condition. Well worth including in a country crawl, on a good route for cycling or it makes a good location for a meal and a pint. Most definitely worth seeking out.
