Blidworth Bottoms · Nottinghamshire
Handmade pies, generously-portioned Sunday roasts, and a seasonal tapas menu — all from a family-owned pub tucked into the Nottinghamshire countryside. Rated 4.6 stars from 1,674 Google reviews.
The Fox & Hounds
Tucked away on Calverton Road in Blidworth Bottoms, the Fox & Hounds has been the kind of place locals drive a little further to reach. The kitchen makes its pies by hand, sources from nearby, and changes the specials board when something better turns up — not on a fixed schedule.
Dog-friendly, family-friendly, and relaxed enough that you won't feel rushed. Whether you're after a weekday lunch, a lazy Sunday roast, or a sharing tapas spread on a Friday night, there's usually room — though the Sunday roasts are best booked ahead.
From the kitchen
A proper Sunday roast with local ingredients — choose your own gravy, all the trimmings, and portion sizes that mean you won't need dinner. Best booked in advance; walk-ins welcome if tables are free.

Handmade pies, fish & chips, steaks, and home-cooked British classics.
The specials board changes when something good comes in — worth asking what's on.
Seasonal sharing plates — a bit different from the usual pub fare, and just as generous.

What guests say
"A sensational Proper British Country Pub. If there was a way of giving more than 5 stars I would. Delicious food, great atmosphere and fantastic staff. Di' & her team will do everything to make your experience one to remember."
via Google"Came here for a Sunday Roast and it was delightful. The gravy dish was a nice touch — add your own gravy as much as you like. Looks like a nice pub for the summer too with all the benches outside. Will definitely return."
via Google"Met a friend for lunch. WOW! The portion sizes are not to be underestimated. The Pulled Beef Loaded Fondue Chunky Chips were outstanding. Would recommend — can't wait to return and try the mains."
via Google"Very nice food. Portion size is on the large side — so much so we all had a starter and struggled to finish our mains. Will be a returning customer. The gluten free options available were brilliant — our friend was so happy with the variety."
