The Running Fox

About The Running Fox

Tucked into the countryside near Felton, this is a bakery-café where the food genuinely lives up to the fuss — scrambled eggs on gluten-free bread that people rave about, pies, quiches, scones, a breakfast stottie, and a Dubai pistachio tart worth a detour. Portions run generous enough that boxing up leftovers is normal. Downstairs is snug with only around four tables, so a pram is easier managed outside or upstairs, where a few tables look over the river. Booking online is worth doing, especially for a busy Sunday brunch or the afternoon tea. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, outdoor seating and free parking. Service is warm if occasionally stretched at peak times — you may need to catch someone's eye for refills. Dogs can't come inside.
