Myself and my partner had a Sunday roast each here yesterday. We both had pork belly starter which was absolutely gorgeous and cannot be faulted. 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.
The pub is beautiful and the food was tasty, however the roast was on the expensive side and we found it fairly average. 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.
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.
On a really busy Friday evening the staff were really friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was lovely and there were plenty of choices. It was just a really nice evening all round. Would definitely recommend. Lovely buzzing atmosphere and great food. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch at the Durham Ox which we have been promising to go to and my word it certainly did not disappoint Such a lovely place and the food is exceptional Highly recommend and cannot wait until our next visit
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.
Really disappointed with the service , felt rushed throughout, food arrived before our drinks. Service just not that friendly
As always friendly service and excellent food. We took our dogs this time and they were also made to feel very welcome.
