eating & drinking at the durham ox

We embrace the principle of good food in relaxed surroundings, we have always used the freshest and best of ingredients and buy locally wherever possible.

Our A La Carte menu celebrates a fabulous array of locally sourced meats, vegetables, fresh fish and seafood.  As the seasons change so do our menus, to reflect the wealth of local produce for which this area is renowned; expect Blackboard Specials that reflect this.  Our Dessert Menu provides a truly fabulous finish to any meal. (FOR MENUS GO TO FOOD)

We cater for all dietary requirements including Vegetarian, Vegan & Gluten Free Menu.

On Sunday lunchtimes we serve our Sunday Lunch Menu, embracing all dietary requirements.

We are dog friendly (our Tap Room is dog friendly but tables are limited so please advise us when booking if you are bringing your canine friend)
