eating 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. For our most up-to-date menu photos visit our Instagram account @thedurhamox

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. We cater for all dietary requirements.

Our various BLACK BOARD dishes complement our menus, with fish or meat dishes we may not be able to source on a regular basis. Game & seafood dishes (especially our Lobster Platters) are firm favourites as well as asparagus, wild garlic & wild mushrooms – all dependent on the seasons and availability.

CHILDREN:  We have a children’s menu but we are also always happy to serve smaller portions to smaller people, where possible.

We certainly like to think we serve a great SUNDAY LUNCH whether roast beef and all the trimmings or a delicious piece of fish or a vegetable tagine. Whether you just want one course, or three….it’s up to you.

If it’s a quick bite to eat you’re after…we also serve an array of delicious SANDWICHES throughout the week. Available Monday – Saturday 12 Noon – 2.15pm

We cater for Gluten Free & Vegetarian & Vegan diets and strive to satisfy all dietary requirements.  If you require information about any ingredients or allergens in our dishes please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Whether you want a room for the evening, a bite to eat, or to share The Durham Ox experience with someone special, we have got something for you.
