Went for the launch of the new menu and can honestly say it was one of the best meals Iv had. The staff were fantastic and the food was amazing. The scollop starter is on par with high end seafood restaurants Iv eaten in and the lamb shank main was also cooked to perfection. Will be returning again for

Fantastic Sunday roast, and great service too! The staff are very attentive, and the food is superb! We visited World Service on Friday night and was very disappointed with the food…our Durham Ox experience was better by miles!

This place just gets better and better. We were there with friends on Saturday evening.The menus are changed each season, so you never get bored and always something new added each season to try too.The staff are equally as good as the food, polite, friendly and knowledgeable of each dish, nothing is too much trouble, the advise of a suggestion of which wine will best compliment your food is a great too.It’s a high end restaurant at very reasonable prices and is our treasure of Derbyshire.Well done on your awards team Durham Ox, you remain grounded despite your success.

Fantastic food and service here, they genuinely look after you. Might cost a bit more than your average chain pub food but you get what you pay for. Plenty of drinks options too which are well priced. Will definitely be back.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience - seated by the fire. Broad range of food on the menu. 2nd time visiting & had the chicken butter curry, absolutely beautiful and really nicely presented. Apple crumble cheesecake for pudding was also lovely. 10/10 great service too

Fantastic food, the service was not so good however, unacceptably long wait (over an hour) for the main meals. The waitress was very apologetic and offered us drinks on the house. It's just a shame that a fantastic experience was turned into an OK experience.

We went during December, it didn't get off to a good start with our drinks order being wrong. Sadly, there was only the Christmas menu available. No choices for vegetarian celiac, but the staff were helpful and did me just vegetables and nut roast. Sadly wasn't a substitute for the yorkshire pudding or stuffing, and vegetables were sparse. I do like my vegetables on the al dente side, but they were hard. There wasn't a child's vegetarian menu either, so he had the same as me - but again couldn't have the yorkie. Nice setting, very busy (and loud) - this could be due to the time of year. Staff friendly.
