About This Pub
Ah, the Dog & Fox in Wimbledon – it's one of those classic pubs that really pulls you in with its inviting atmosphere and that feel-good buzz, especially if you're popping in for a pint with friends or to catch a rugby match or tennis on the telly. I love how the staff go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome, and the beer garden is just lovely on a nice day, tucked away in the heart of the village. Being dog-friendly is a nice touch too, making it easy to bring the whole family along, four-legged included. They've got some cracking offers for stays upstairs, perfect for a cheeky getaway or during the Wimbledon Championships. On the downside, though, I've heard a few gripes about the service dragging on, even when it's not too busy, and the food can be a mixed bag – some bits are spot on with fresh, seasonal ingredients, but others might leave you wanting more, like skimpy portions or dishes that don't quite hit the mark. All in all, it's a solid spot for a good time, but maybe keep an eye on the menu choices to avoid any disappointments.

Saturday lunch service was friendly but so slow and it wasn't even busy in there! First they delivered the wrong salad (that happens, so what?) then my main Greek salad arrived with (I kid you not) a teeny sprinkling - like it was parmesan - of Feta cheese. It is so overpriced and I was so underwhelmed - Greek salad isn't difficult, but when I asked for more Feta on my GREEK salad, I didn't appreciate the sarcastic reply - "oh, there is some in there" (a little bit more was added, but not much). I left the half-red onion they'd been very generous with. So overpriced - I wouldn't bother going again - Wimbledon Village has so much else to offer.
Stopped in for a quick bite. Gorgeous beer garden. Great location to watch the world go by. Sadly the food was very poor. The foccacia has cake-like consistency. The butter was out of the fridge and too hard to use. The gazpacho was a tablespoon of unsalted tomato pulp in a dog bowl. The only dish worth eating was the tomato salad and that was due to the seasonal quality of the produce. I personally would drink here but wouldn't eat here again.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Dog and Fox in Wimbledon! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The pub itself is charming and has a great vibe, perfect for an evening out.
A special shoutout to the manager, Alfie, who truly made our visit stand out. Alfie was attentive, welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable time.
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food, great drinks, and top-notch service. We'll definitely be returning soon!

Absolutely delighted with the service we received from Justin at Dog and Fox! From the moment we walked in, Justin’s warm, welcoming personality set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. He made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect throughout our meal. His recommendations were spot-on, and his knowledge of the menu truly impressed us. Justin's attentive yet unobtrusive service made the evening effortless and enjoyable. If you're lucky enough to have him serve you, you're in for a real treat! An unforgettable experience at Dog and Fox, all thanks to Justin! Highly recommend!
Had an amazing time at the Dog and Fox a couple of nights ago! The atmosphere was great, but the real highlight was Tom, the bartender. Super friendly, quick with the drinks, and really knows his stuff. He recommended the perfect cocktail based on what I like, and it was spot on. The service was top-notch, and he made everyone at the bar feel welcome. Definitely coming back again, cheers to great service!
