Really nice pub but awful service. Had to wait for ages and the barman was rude. And the guiness was horrible. Only place near Roundhay park to drink really. Not the worst place in the world and maybe we just caught the barman on a bad day.

There’s no doubting they have the best location in Roundhay/Street Lane but success has its price. They’ve become so popular that, on the basis of my last two visits there, they’ve allowed standards to drop a little. Twice food was cold when it arrived and either the order mixed up or food prepared well done when it was ordered rare etc.

It’s still a great place to drink but it’s no longer my first choice for a quick Sunday lunch, the bedrock of their popularity. That prize goes to another pub on the other side of Roundhay Park but I won’t do the Fox a dis-service by mentioning them by name here. I’ll give it another try but three strikes and you’re out!

Also, sort out those toilets…

Above average pub nosh - good service - the beers good too. Particular nice place to go in the winter.

I too visited the Roundhay Fox for a meal after a day at Tropical World. A very traditional Yorkshire country side style pub with great ales (I was assured). The food was lovely as well and the portions rather large in contrast to the bill. A great place to sit outside in the sun while cooling the insides.
Leave your car in the car park and take a short stroll to the pub.

When I was summoned to visit Tropical World (I do recommend) for the day I did not expect to stumble across a pub as excellent as this one. It is nicer than any of the pubs in the city centre or Headingley as it is quite country-like and very traditional.
The food is excellent and very reasonable. There is outdoor seating and a quiz night.
