“We've been here multiple times this past year, including for my birthday, and they've always delivered yummy food and great service. I will say that the last time we went, there was a large group and they were quite delayed in serving our drinks & dessert cocktail, but this was a one off, and I still think of Fox's as one of the best places to grab a bite. Their menu is quite inventive - both the drinks & the food - and their weekly specials make them even more enticing. You won't regret a meal here!”

“The place was recommended by a fellow backpacker so i'd thought i'll come by to take a look. Not a big place but does have both indoor and outdoors sitting. Everyone's okie to share the table. Minimalistically decorated. Variety on the menu. I was in a dilemma on choosing what to eat and the owner shared what he preferred which wasnt the most expensive thing off the menu. Haha. Shows the love he has for the food and people than the profit. Awesome. I had Hash: its pulled pork and taters.. very well done, not overly salty. Well prepared. Hot chocolate, theres the cadbury and whittakers options. Always nice to know there's a choice. :) Street parking. Help urself to the water, by the counter. All in all, an enjoyable brunch out.”

“Our party of four enjoyed an excellent dinner at Cucina last night. Shared the pâté and had a main course each. Fresh, seasonal and just the right level of innovation to make the meal still feel delicious and accessible. Cocktails were also delicious! Just love the plants and atmosphere. Highly recommend you check out their cafe in the same building (Tees St) if staying in town overnight…this team makes the best food in Oamaru - bar none!”
