Tucked away in the heart of Walton Village, just outside Wetherby in West Yorkshire, The Fox at Walton is an independent gastropub built on a simple idea: great food, warm hospitality, and a deep respect for where our ingredients come from.
We’re proud to be an independent gastropub, independently owned and rooted firmly in the local community. Our focus is on seasonal British cuisine, celebrating the very best of Yorkshire produce and working closely with trusted local suppliers who share our passion for quality and sustainability.
Whether you’re joining us from Wetherby, Leeds, Harrogate or York, we aim to be a destination gastropub that’s genuinely worth the drive. Located just minutes from Wetherby Racecourse, Thorp Arch Trading Estate, the British Library at Boston Spa and Leeds United’s training ground at Thorp Arch, we’re perfectly placed for locals, visitors and those exploring the wider Yorkshire countryside.
But while our location brings people in, it’s our atmosphere that brings them back. The Fox is a gastropub with character – relaxed, welcoming, and shaped by a team that genuinely cares about what they do.
Everything we do starts with the ingredients. Our menus are built around what’s fresh, available and at its best, which means regularly changing seasonal menus designed to showcase seasonal British cuisine at its finest.
We work closely with farmers, fishermen and producers across the region, championing locally sourced ingredients and proudly supporting local farmers. From field to fork, we care deeply about where the ingredients come from and how they’re handled along the way.
Expect Yorkshire classics with a modern twist, thoughtfully prepared and always cooked with care. Whether it’s a midweek lunch, a relaxed evening meal or a traditional Sunday roast, our aim is simple: honest food that delivers every time.
