Harden's survey result
Summary
This “brilliant and deservedly popular” pub – a former guildhall dating from circa 1500 – serves an “interesting menu” from chef-patron Paul Yaxley that is “exceptional value for the quality and service provided (lunch is an absolute steal)”, along with its own beer, ‘Goose Juice’. “The front-of-house has become considerably slicker since the last review”. Top Menu Tip – “duck rillettes with pickled mushrooms, peanut and tamarind flapjack”.
Summary
“Consistently great cooking from Paul Yaxley” that’s “reasonably priced”, too, makes this “absolutely delightful venue” – a Grade II listed former guildhall – “a destination for that ‘special occasion’ dinner”, with “attentive service” led by his wife, Sarah. Some fans, though, say “the cooking’s good but it would be nice to see the menu revamped more often”.
Summary
“Well worth a detour from the coast” for “delicious food and an interesting menu”: Paul & Sarah Yaxley’s “exceptional” venue – a beamed former guildhall – is “an oasis in the middle of East Anglia”. “I’ve been coming here since I was a teenager 45 years ago, and despite many changes over that time it still never disappoints”.
Summary
This “lovely old building” – a beamed former guildhall – is “as reliable as ever” under longtime owners Paul & Sarah Yaxley, who deliver modern European cuisine “at very reasonable prices for the quality”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

The Fox & Goose Restaurant Diner Reviews
"We go here frequently and it never disappoints. It is deservedly well liked locally as there is always something good on the set lunch menu. This time I was especially pleased with the blueberry parfait, but the other dishes were just as good, with lots of interesting ideas and flavours."
