In Firefox and Chrome after several seconds when attempting to resolve a site for the first time it is failing with a 'server not found' message, refreshing and trying again invariably works.
I am running pi-hole on a raspberry pi, I only enabled ipv4 during installation as my plusnet router doesn't support ipv6. I've set the router dns to the pihole ip address.

Your debug log shows that Pi-Hole is working properly. Are you seeing the queries from the client and replies back to the client? Check /var/log/pihole.log, and you can live tail this log with pihole -t
A few unrelated notes from your debug log:
You are running Jessie, which is nearing EOL. Pi-Hole supports both Stretch and Buster if you decide to upgrade. Note that you can upgrade in place without a clean reinstall.
Your long term database does not appear to be functioning.

Thank you for the quick reply, things are working much better since I added pi-hole to both the primary and secondary DNS addresses in my router configuration, I had left the secondary one blank, suspect this may have been the cause of the failed requests.
I'll get Raspbian upgraded and look at the database error you spotted.
