Mr Fox - Surry Hills

Foarte oribil! Poate că ar fi trebuit să trimitem acest lucru înapoi. În cele din urmă tocmai am plătit și lăsat fără să-l mâncăm! Descrierea meniului a sugerat ceva complet diferit!

Excellent Place! I researched places to have a friends hens and found Mr Fox had a small function room upstairs. Went and checked it out and it looked suitable for us. After going home and deciding to go ahead with the booking, it was a little difficult to make initial contact. My friend and I called and emailed a few times. Eventually after booking with this email address I had superb communication. The event manager James regularly replied to emails, confirmed my booking, sent menus and was a pleasure to deal with. There are a range of catered platters to select from, ranging from $330 (for 10-15 people) to $1000 platters for 40 people. Prior to the event we decided on what food platters we wanted, what time they would come out etc. What I thought was amazing is that there is no booking fee. It is a minimum spend of $1000 on a Saturday, but that is not much at all if you include the platters, drinks and spread the cost out over your group. I thought value for money for the food was absolutely incredible, the food was overflowing; I actually asked to halve the servings because I was personally worried about wastage with my friends not eating as much as I expected. We ordered the cheese platter for $80 which had so many varieties of cheese in huge servings; haloumi, fetta, blue cheese, brie, camembert, tasty and all types of crackers you could possibly ask for as well as focaccias and more. It was presented beautifully and ready on arrival. We ordered the $550 platter as well which included an antipasto platter of pickled vegetables (my favourite), aged and cured meats, marinated olives and also dips. We got the delicious chicken wings, meatballs, oven roasted Portobello mushrooms, chorizo and fries (though I don't remember getting those). Food tasted great and good finger food for a party. For a different event, you can also order a seated set menu if your group is smaller. The wait staff on the night, were regularly suppling the food, cleaning up and excellent service. There is a private bar and bar man as well, and you can put on a table or order bottles. We ordered bottles of sparkling wine and wine which my guests got through. The barman was so kind and made my friend, the hen a complimentary cocktail which she thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. I also had a delicious cocktail which the bar man took his time to prepare. There are a good range of cocktails, wines and also sangria.In terms of styling  It is a small, dark room, almost "prohibition" styled with candles, lamps, and vintage furniture. It had small stools and tables to sit at and would fit about 20 people I think.  downstairs. I would also like to comment that the manager and event planner were very flexible with letting me go in and set up the room with decorations. He offered to help and event packed things up so I could come and collect them the next day. You could have the venue until midnight if you so please. A well run place with excellent staff and I would thoroughly recommend for a small event. Thanks for everything! Unfortunately I don't have heaps of photos as I didn't have my good camera and was busy with the party but go and check this place out. aroundtheclockfoodie.com

Absolutely terrible service, I went here with my partner last week and we ordered  a jug of Sangria (1 litre) while deciding on what food we would like. When it came out  it was full of ice,  we go  just over 2 glasses from it (according to management we should have got 4 glasses) considering it was $35 a jug and $10 per glass when sold separately, we didn't make a big deal out of it, just ordered another one off the girl serving us (who was lovely by the way) and asked for less ice. The 'manager' brought it out and made a very sarcastic comment about it being warm with no ice then walked off, it was less than 3/4 way full, when I asked why this was  we were told cos it was sold by the level of alcohol not the amount of liquid (this amount would still only give over a couple of glasses which didn't make sense if we could buy it at $10 a glass - why buy a jug?!!), I asked the girl serving us if the jugs were supposed to be less than  3/4 full to which she apologised and said 'no I'm, so sorry I don't know what's up with the bar staff tonight' and returned it to the Manager, he then visibly smirked and made a comment to the guy beside him working behind the bar. At this stage  walked to the bar and explained we weren't trying to make a big deal but why buy a jug for $35 and get 2 glasses when we can buy a single glass for $10 each, the manager continued to argue with me about the amount in the jug and how it was measured on alcohol and not the amount in the jug, huh??? He was extremely rude and patronising, , in the meantime a glass of sangria was knocked over the table and dripped down onto my handbag and phone - of course this was an accident and these things happen , when I was cleaning it up, the manager clearly saw it had spilled on my bag as I was wiping it and didn't even offer an apology. We then left before without eating any of the food we ordered. I have never in my life experienced service like it, When i called to speak to the owner I was met with someone who didn't want to hear about it, she claimed to be there on the night yet didn't know about what had gone on (then claimed to be there for some of it - surely as an owner you would step in that stage if your 'manager' on duty was being so rude to patrons,  on the night and when I asked for the owner t I was told he wasn't but yet this owner now claims she was there and witnessed it.  It doesn't really add up. Do yourself a favour and don't go here, you will regret it !

Why is there a couch next to the trash? I hope it's not a thing and there next time Little patio area which is nice, overlooking Crown st which is great
