The Fox and Vivian

I love the Fox and Vivian - in fact I sometimes think it's underrated in Leamington. Great food, good beer, nice decoration and ambiance, and well trained staff. What's not to like? Maybe the prices are a tad high, but with every other food outlet in town pushing prices up, it has actually become average priced recently. Not to be missed: the 2-for-1 burger Mondays in August - which we hope the owner will keep for the whole year round! (I'd be seen there a lot more often if he does that!)

The best steak I have ever had. Brilliantly friendly and attentive staff. Great atmosphere. Can probably get cheaper steaks elsewhere but they won’t taste anywhere near as good! Amazing

We came for Sunday lunch yesterday and was hugely impressed. The quality and taste was fantastic. What I also liked was the fact you didn't have to pay for extras, it was one set price. Will definitely be coming back. We had the lamb and there was plenty of it :-)

Great steaks. Nice atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back here

Great experience 100% recommend! We booked a table to watch the football and they gave us a perfect one. We enjoyed the game with delicious buffalo wings and a full track of bbq ribs. Top staff!

Visited the fox and Vivian over the weekend for what the locals say is the best steak restaurant around. So I was excited to see what it was all about, firstly no starters?! Kinda weird concept not to really have any dedicated starters but oh well. I ordered a 12oz NY strip steak or also known as a sirloin or porterhouse steak. Ordered with side of Parmesan and truffle fries and chimichurri. Steaks come with tender steam and mushroom, but also ordered some popcorn shrimp as a side and others also ordered prawns and onion rings which I also tried. Overview, really well cooked steak, mid rare very nice sear across the steak, but not rested long enough for my liking if I’m being picky, also overall the flavour profile was pretty bland and not much depth to steak, probably wasn’t prepped correctly for maximum flavour / resting for correct period. But it certainly was not worst steak I’ve had, very good cut of meat, quality produce. The fries were ok nothing to shout about, and sadly the veg on the plate was stone cold and bland also. The sides were decent, popcorn shrimp tasty and fried perfectly, homemade style onion rings with plenty of flavour too, and king prawns were very nice juicy and flavourful. I ordered chimichurri sauce, again sadly pretty bland lacked acidity and punch. Plenty of pros - quality produce, good selection of meats, competitive menu and edgy atmosphere. Would like to come back to retry it again and give a review update as I’m sure they are better than what i experienced on this visit. Overall rating 7/10.

Always a brilliant meal at the Fox and Viv! We love visiting on our anniversary and always enjoy the very best steak meal! The portions are generous, the steak is the best quality you could ask for and the sides and sauces complete the meal. A special shout out to Delilah and the kitchen staff for particularly great service on our most recent visit.

I’m a steak lover so I was excited to visit the fox and Vivian and it didn’t disappoint. Prime cuts of steak cooked to our liking, simple to choose from menu and although the pub is quite small what they’ve done is split the space in half and run a restaurant in the back and pub at the front which actually works really well and it looks and feels comfortable and clean. The staff are also very welcoming and will work hard to accommodate you. I left very happy with a belly full of beef 🤣 Highly recommend you visit!
