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.

That being said the starter and the desert were very tasty. Only 3 stars for the service as we were not provided with a wine list (the wines are on a board on the wall but this was not visible from our table and we weren’t aware of it until we saw it when leaving) when I asked for a recommendation for a glass of wine, I was advised to go for the Malbec, which unbeknownst to me was the most expensive wine, coming in at £16 for a large glass and it was not a particularly nice. Besides this, the service was good.

I had the roast beef lunch whilst my partner had the lamb. Both our dinners were nice but the roast potatoes felt like they’d been re-heated after being left standing for a while. I had a couple of Peroni’s and neither of us had desert but the bill still came to £97. The starters were £11 each and as I say, we couldn’t fault them but £25 for a roast dinner seems and was steep for the size of meal we received. They were tasty but I don’t think they were £25 tasty. The place itself is a nice setting and the atmosphere was decent, though.
