The Durham ox is the place to be!!! With the cracking banter from staff and locals to the amazing Thai food being served Wednesday to Sunday! Overall a great place for all! Can't wait to return

A nice pub on the high street with adequate parking, the cost of which can be redeemed at the bar when ordering drinks. The decor is a tad tired, however the landlord ensures that the quality of the beers and lagers are always in tip top condition. There is also the added bonus of serving authentic Thai food which is very competitively priced. It is also mooted that the introduction of loyalty cards, buy five, and get the sixth free is in the offing. I’m unlikely to benefit from this largesse as I only consume dry sherry. All in all a very friendly pub where all visitors are made welcome.

We had my husband and I, our 3 children, my auntie and uncle and their dog. We tried the durham ox as just needed somewhere dog friendly and served food, we were just expecting pub grub but my goodness the food was AMAZING!! I can't highly recommend the food enough it was delicious. The kids chicken nuggets and chips were beautifully cooked with fresh ingredients and we both had the crying tiger and it was delicious still pink in the middle. It was restaurant quality food in a pub. The prices as well make it very affordable, the kids meals were £4.99, adult meals £10.99 and the salt and pepper chips were £3. With those prices we can afford to come regularly and we will definitely be back. Thankyou for a great experience for my whole family.

Called in today for lunch and the food is now Thai. I had a lovely Chicken, Egg fried rich, plentiful and tasty. It was lovely. My husband is very picky so had fish fingers and chips but really enjoyed it. It was very reasonably priced as well, with 2 cokes it was just under £20. The staff were very nice. Music playing, busy beer garden out the back. Very efficient at clearing tables, chatting and smiling.

Our family have been using this pub for over 30years but a recent visit was marred by us receiving a £60 parking fine. We payed the £2 fee and redeemed the ticket against a drink at the bar as per the instructions but then days later received the fine. As the machine is cash only we have no proof of this. I phoned the pub to see if they could help but they just fobbed us off and the rip off car parking company are impossible to contact. So anyone visiting here, please be aware of this scam.

I don't go to Northallerton often, but found myself there on Friday afternoon. I fancied a hand pulled pint and randomly popped in to the Durham Ox as it was the nearest pub. I chose a draft Pale Ale. Despite looking forward to the pint unfortunately I found it unpleasant and had to leave most of it. A waste of money, and moreover so disappointing when I was hoping for a nice relaxing drink. And no, I didn't complain, I just left. I wasn't in the mood for the hassle of taking the pint back. I would hope that someone who runs a pub would be able to get the fundamentals correct and at least serve a drinkable pint!

Lovely new couple who know how to run a pub properly and party at the same time! Beer is good, pub is clean (needs a refurbishment as it’s old and tired) and they’ve embraced us local’s quickly and with great warmth. Such a shame that Marstons won’t drag it up to date internally.
P8491CObenm . 2023-09-03

As a regular at the Durham Ox for many years I have seen many managers come and go and one does wonder whether the incumbent’s fall foul of Marstons insouciant approach, or is a lack of investment and staff support a common criteria? Over the years due to lack of investment the infrastructure of the pub has deteriorated, notwithstanding the fact that pubs in the immediate area have invested in decor updates. Years ago the pub was very competitive price wise and there was a frequent rotation of beers from across the Marston’s estate. Alas no more. Prices are no longer competitive, the interior is a tad dowdy and in need of an update. Competition is fierce in the pub trade, accordingly urgent consideration should be given to ensure prices are competitive in the immediate area, also most of the furniture is dated. The current husband and wife management team are doing a sterling job to ensure old regulars return and new customers are made welcome, but I fear they face an uphill battle if the current higher management inertia remains If the downward trend in lack of investment and customer consideration continues, then I fear the Ox may well gravitate towards the pub graveyard. Please get a grip Marstons.

I have been here for the last 3 weeks on business for 2 nights a week, still 3 weeks to go 😀 Lovely welcome by everyone who has been on reception on all my visits, very helpful, friendly and they go that extra mile to help. The rooms I've stayed in so far are ( 2-10 and 31) which were very clean, cosy and well presented with everything you needed, Iron, hairdryer and tea and coffee facilities. The only little issue was the shower door rollers kept coming loose, just life cycle replacement needs attention at some point. I could not fault any of the cleaning at all and that's very rare for me due to being a cleaning trainer for the NHS, hotels, schools and offices for 20 years. I meet some of the cleaning first thing on the morning and they were also very polite and always smiling. The bar area was comfortable, clean, all the staff are friendly and the food in the restaurant-bar is excellent, large portions, presented beautifully and very tasty...... 😋 I didn't have the breakfast , so i can't comment on that... Thank you so much for making me feel welcome, especially when I'm here on my own. I will miss coming here when my business in Northallerton comes to an end 😊

Visited as a couple 7 March. We were staying in the hotel. Ambience was good. The eating area could perhaps do with a bit of updating but it is fine. Menu is a mix of pub classics and more adventurous dishes. I had one of the latter as a starter, Lamb Tagine Roll with harissa mayo and smoked aubergine purée. Very good. The roll had chunks of lamb and the mayo had a kick. Tasted and presented very well. I had steak and ale pie for main. Appeared home made with real chips. Again very good Mrs W had the pork belly which she enjoyed too. We had a very nice bottle of NZ Sav Blanc as well. Very good value.
