Durham Ox

Durham Ox
4.4 / 5 (1283 reviews)

Description

The Durham Ox is a famous, old hostelry that remains popular for its delicious local roast beef and retro Crepes Suzette. While Sunday lunch may come at a steep price of £25, the portions are on the smaller side. The roast potatoes have room for improvement, but the honeyed carrots and cauliflower cheese are standouts. Attentive service and a dog-friendly atmosphere enhance the overall experience. Despite varying opinions on pricing and food quality, the beautiful pub setting and friendly staff create a pleasant dining environment with a buzzing atmosphere. Overall, the Durham Ox is recommended for a special treat or a casual meal.

As always friendly service and excellent food. We took our dogs this time and they were also made to feel very welcome.

Famous old hostelry is enormously popular. However it's not cheap. Sunday lunch at £25 is a bit steep. Delicious local roast beef. Delicious gravy/jus. Rather small Yorkshire pudding. The roast potatoes were rather hard and, although the vegetables were good especially the honeyed carrots and cauliflower cheese the portions were small and not really enough for two people. Marvellously retro Crepes Suzette rounded things off in style. When the ice cream hit the Grand Marnier it was sheer bliss. Attentive service from the young staff and dog friendly. The Ox is an old favourite for a treat.

Enjoyable meal for 6 in the main bar area; our guests really liked the feel of the room...except for the musak, which should have been more background... so don't sit under the speaker in the corner.
