The Roundhay Fox has an intriguing history, with its origins dating back to a time when it housed two Italian restaurants, a charming tea shop, and a wine bar named The Stables. This inn occupies a location on the outskirts of Roundhay Park, which has a rich history of its own. As far back as 1284, the park was owned by the Lacy family before eventually transforming into a hunting ground, offering ample sport and game for the tables of the medieval gentry.
The menus feature a great selection of beloved country pub classics and hearty favourites, with the addition of seasonal dishes to enjoy. The bar caters to every palate, offering a selection that includes cask ales, fine wines, and a delightful variety of British gin. Whether you choose to enjoy your drinks in our picturesque gardens or cosied up by the crackling log fires, each sip promises to be wonderful.
On weekdays, Monday through Saturday, The Roundhay Fox’s enticing Vintage Inns main menu features a scrumptious selection, including a luscious Camembert cheese drizzled with honey and infused with truffle oil, accompanied by apple, date, and tamarind chutney, and served with sourdough bread for dipping. The restaurant also offers a mouthwatering slow-cooked pork belly served with chive mash, green beans, apple sorbet, crispy crackling, and a red wine jus. Additionally, you can opt for an oven-baked chicken breast resting on a bed of spinach, crowned with a wild mushroom and garlic sauce, streaky bacon, and melted mozzarella, and served with skin-on fries.
If you happen to visit The Roundhay Fox on a Sunday, prepare to indulge in a delightful roast selection. Each roast comes with a generous portion of crispy seasonal vegetables, beef dripping roast potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and as much gravy as your heart desires. You might opt for the Sunday trio, featuring a succulent sirloin of beef, tender pork belly with crispy crackling, and turkey breast coated in a delightful maple bacon crumb, and served with stuffing and chicken gravy. For those seeking a vegetarian option, the candied vegetable roast, topped with pumpkin seeds, is accompanied by tomato sauce, roast potatoes, carrots, green beans, and broccoli.
