    Great Sunday Lunch. Would say the pork could come with more crackling… but that’s my only complaint.

    The best Sunday lunch we have ever had. Service was quick and attentive without being rushed. Both the Roast Beef and Roast Chicken were outstanding. Make sure you leave room for dessert - so good! Very reasonably priced, beautiful setting and staff are a credit.

    Excellent choice. The food and service was spot on. The ambience was great and the decor, absolutely perfect and very cosy. Most reviews are similar to this one. You get a few moaners as always but they are in the minority and not what we found. Fantastic restaurant and good value.

    As always Durham Ox didn’t disappoint. Lunch menu is good and service was excellent. Only annoyance was another diner who was on the phone with the speaker on so we heard not not only his conversation but the other person as well. He did turn it off when I pointed out the intrusion but it is surprising how unaware others can be.
