The Blackwell Ox in Hambleton

Staying locally and was within walking distance so decided to give it a try. Bit dubious as I have several allergies, but they couldn't have been more accommodating. The food was absolutely top notch; well presented, fresh, tasty and piping hot. The service was friendly and attentive despite how busy they were. Book in advance to avoid disappointment, you definitely won't be disappointed!! Highly recommend 👌

Nice pub mainly thai menu lots to choose from comfy atmosphere good service plenty of parking prices reasonable

Wow possibly the best Thai food restaurant I've been to , it's in a lovely village , the pub is the standard fare , but a pleasant place to be , okay so now the food amd that is what sets this pub apart from your usual pub grub establishment, it all Thai food , they come from all over the surronding area to eat here and I can understand why ! We ordered tempura prans & din sum to start which where delsih & then crispy duck and a steak with a curry sauce , my poor partner nearly cried after she tasted the crispy duck she said it was the best she had ever had , so 10/10 for that and I must admit she gave me a little but to try amd I did agree with her on that 1 , my steak was cooked to perfection ,it was like a flat iron steak . Very large portions on the main meal , my lady couldn't finish her meal and got it to take away . At the rear of the pub I'd a children's playground and futher out is posh caravans/Lodges to stay at . I had a quick look at the website while we were there, and it was unfortunately out of my price range . Lunch for 2 cost us about a 100 nicker ,so the question is would we return, most deffo , but on a w.end evening we would very recommend you book up a couple of weeks in advance , bang on

Excellent Thai food, generous portion sizes and the staff are really friendly and chatty. I'll definitely be going back!

Lovely staff and food. Really excellent evening with young family.

Always very good Tie food, the menus has changed since the last time we were in but still very good. The service was very quick. Thank you.

Fabulous food and great service!

Best restaurant for Thai food in Teesside and beyond. Authentic Thai food cooked by Thai chefs. Absolutely fabulous delicious taste of Thailand. Aroyd mak mak.

Husbands meal was very nice but mine was crispy duck with noodles. The duck was too hard to eat not nice at all. Noodles were nice but will not be going again.

First of all Google maps took us to the complete wrong place! We ended up on someone's drive (have suggested this edit to Google maps) The service was very average. Of the 4/5 members of staff who we saw, only 1 (the lady who seated us) came across as very friendly and like she liked her job. We had a mixed share board starter The chicken satay was dryer than the desert Spring rolls had no flavour Fish cakes had a funky flavour (I had to spit it out) However the prawn toast was nice! My partners steak tasted like liver The noodles tasted like shredded wheat and the garnish had the weirdest lemon taste to it The prawns in my dish were lovely! But the mushrooms were under cooked, there was minimal prawns compared to peppers and veg. And again the noodles weren't very pleasant! We were so excited to go too after hearing many good recommendations however we won't be returning!

Food was lovely large portions bit of advice please check your bills we were overcharged by £22

A rarity - a village pub with gorgeous Thai food. Charlton-in-Cleveland is a lovely quiet setting

Food and service is good, but the place is looking very tired. Torn, worn out seats with throws covering them, not brilliant is it?

We’ve visited this pub since I was a child and have many happy memories here. On our most recent visit, we chose not to eat, although the food looked delicious and wasn’t too badly priced. They have a good selection of beer & ales and the bar snacks were tasty. Booking a table in advance to eat would be advised as it’s a popular spot for locals and visitors. Will of course be returning in the future.

Been going to this pub since I was a child, changed hands since then!! It’s in a beautiful village called Carlton. Now does Thai food which is very good, this place is always busy, did try to book a table a few days before but was fully booked, we stopped off for a drink and sat outside the front of the pub. Food still looks amazing main meals are about £15 plus but it’s good servings and good quality. Will definitely return as I have good memories of this place, next time I will book a table well in advance, would definitely recommend a visit.

Went on a recommendation for food. Did not disappoint. Would recommend any of the Thai dishes. Great service too.

Lovely village setting worth a trip out. Fantastic Thai authentic food decent size portions forget the starters!! Massive menu. Used to be a cosy local pub with food it’s now a buzzing eatery. Staff decent, could be 5 star but it’s a little overpriced compared to similar feels like they are cashing in on the tourist trade. Would recommend as the food is great.

Amazing Saturday evening Thai meal in a very pretty English pub setting. Mixed sharing plates to start and then crispy deep fried sea bass fillets with steamed rice or chips. Thai curry ( yellow and red ) were fantastic, authentic and large portion size. Very popular and need to book at weekends. Staff very friendly. Would definitely go back.

The best Thai food in the area, really good service and great beers to go with it.

Oh My Goodness, just home from lunch at The Blackwell Ox. What a lovely place, excellent service and delicious food Booked a table online yesterday and went today with my Mum and Dad I had Thai Red Curry with Beef, Mum had Crispy Duck with Leek and Dad Crispy Duck in a Sweet and Sour Sauce. All 3 dishes were exceptional Staff were friendly and extremely helpful Our first time but definitely not our last

Delicious! We were booked in here for a wedding reception, the meals were pre ordered as there were 20 of us. We had starters and main courses, the food was piping hot, and the portions were huge. Everything looked amazing and was so tasty. Dietary needs were also taken care of. I would definitely recommend it here and would probably book as it was extremely busy even without our party.

Good service as usual. Never disappointed.

100% gone down hilll.. genuinely sad to say this because i loved the place for years... BUT the red thai curry doesnt even taste remotely like a thai curry. My wife and i went a while back, sent the food back (which weve never done anywhere) and i went back a while later (last night) and it tastes just as bland. No idea why but the quality of food is really low now in comparrison. Tom Kha soup still as nice as ever so it's very confusing, but thai red is gloopy bland and boring.. sweet chilli sauce tastes cheaper as well..

Lovely Thai and British food. Went a couple of times during the day for drinks, then went once for a meal on a night. Really need to book as early as possible. I booked at about 10am for a Tuesday evening using the online open table link from their website and unless we wanted to eat very early we had to book for 8.30pm. The meals are huge, so I would say that if there are 3 or 4 people you could easily get a meal less and share if you wanting Thai food. I am gluten free and we chose to go on the head chefs day off and he is person who can adapt most things to be GF. So whilst I couldn't have the red or green curry I could have yellow curry which they added more heat in for me. It was lovely and I would try again. We are going back to their lodges again and will be there for my Dad and my birthday so I will be very happy to go there for our birthday meal. The staff are very helpful and attentive and their knowledge and understanding of needing gf was very good. Totally recommend, and must book to ensure a table as they are very busy.

Haven't ben here for many years but will certainly be going again soon. The Thai food was superb but, of course, if you don't like Thai then this may not be the place for you. We only wanted a light meal so I went for the soup, which was great and full of seafood, but it also came with a small bowl of rice (or bread) and it became a meal in itself. My friends had Thai fishcakes and a Thai salad both being excellent. Good service and decent prices.

Food always nice but getting expensive now.

Beautiful food. Lots of choices. Friendly staff

Had a lovely meal here service was great nice friendly staff and the food was delicious 😋 we will definitely return

Had a fantastic meal , beer was excellent , service excellent, food excellent couldn't fault a thing, and the toilets are excellent as well. Always good to know if like me you judge a place on its toilets.

Food was very good. Charming restaurant. Good place to stay

Returned home today after a week in Endeavor Lodge. Absolotutely gorgeous lodge, peaceful and quite and finished to the highest quality. Plenty of room and well equipped...just a short stroll to the Blackwell Ox Inn where we ate many times during the week. Staff were outstanding, and this is clearly an owner led business who prioritises good customer service, each meal was better than the last...we will be back!

Lovely location, good food and good service.

Not been for a while. But called Sunday evening after walk out. 3 x of us all tried the Thai menu. Starters were excellent. Then we had a Kari curry, Pad Thai and Garlic chicken, portion sizes were ample and all were very tasty. We somehow managed to fit in desserts and sampled the Banoffee Roullade and the Crumble. Again they were excellent. Staff very friendly/helpful and although pub was busy food delivered to table in good time. Will definitely return.

Excellent food and drink, lovely country pub with Thai food.

Take away food was very good. Eating in is also excellent.

First class service from lovely, friendly staff. Excellent food. Will call again.

Outstanding food. Steak cooked to perfection, curry out of this world. Would recommend to visitors of the area and all locals to try this. It is the best food I have ever eaten! The chef’s must take so much pride in their food and it is so nice to see.

Restaurant is brilliant, the food is wonderful thamnk your to Daniel and geoff

Superb food, great atmosphere, had a brilliant time

Amazing Thai food and excellent service. Portion sizes very generous so pace yourself.

Always come here , best Thai food going!

We've eaten here many times over the years and visited today. The food was, as always, brilliant; very tasty and served promptly by very pleasant staff. The menu is extensive and portions are very generous. It is definitely the place to go for delicious Thai food and as such we have no hesitation in recommending this lovely pub

Takeaway meal wonderful as usual. Front of house less so. Gentleman needs some customer care

The food is the best , Thai menu is great , been going there for over 20 years and never dissatisfied

Didn't stay, we went for an evening meal with a group of friends. Every one thoroughly enjoyed their food and it was reasonably priced too. 9.5/10

Absolutely delicious food. caters everybody even picky kids. not too fancy so you can wear casual clothes but the food is out of this world. It was my third time coming. I’m definitely coming back again

Only had a meal in this brilliant restaurant. Good access for wheelchairs with a dedicated entrance by the car park. Food is excellent and plentiful. Staff very customer focused.

We went there for food ,wow wow wow it was excellent best Thai food I've ever had, the squid starter was supreme.

Absolutely loved this place, food was superb. A very warm welcome, great service, nothing was a problem.. Well worth a visit, highly recommended...

The Blackwell Ox is still our go-to restaurant if we get a moment off. It just gets better & better, & the food & service are still all kinds of awesome.

Really good atmosphere and service, they serve a good Guinness and the thai food is like no other. Been going here since the late nineties.

Most amazing food staff accommodated promptly excellent table without booking.

Went with family for a birthday meal. Hadn't been for years. Food still excellent and service was outstanding from young people. Really recommend this place

Good beer and food helpful and friendly staff cosy pub. Great for no TV and machines. A genuine British pub.

excellent big portions always a nice treat 👌

Booked for dinner for a family meal and were not disappointed. We received a friendly greeting on arrival and were seated quickly. Drinks were offered and arrived promptly. When our food arrived it was hot and well presented, everything was excellent. Prices very reasonable as well. We will definitely be visiting again. Booking in recommended as this place is very popular.

Great to be back here after a couple of years absence. First class food and service in cosy atmosphere.

It's been a while since I've visited. I wasn't disappointed. Service was top knotch. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was friendly. We will be back. 👏👏👏👏 well done

Found this hidden gem on the way to a long weekend away, absolutely fantastic place, the food, service and polite staff was amazing. Could not recommend this restaurant enough. Enjoyed talking Thai to the waitress and kitchen staff with a kitchen tour with my partner. 5 stars 🌟

Went today with a friend will never go again.i had gammon egg chips and pineapple,the egg was so bad it looked like it had been in an accident so I had it changed,the gammon was tough and there was only Amber ale or guineas so I had to have cider as I don't like bottled beer.my friends food was OK but to be honest it wasn't worth the £37.00

Amazing staff never been a place quiet like it

I gave this 3 stars based on the lack of atmosphere and character it used to have. The food was excellent as always and we have been coming here for probably 20+ years. Big paper signs at back door by car park to use front door unless disabled, hence the majority of folk coming in front door and despite fire on it was baltic. Table service only so sorta missed the locals standing by the bar chatting .. felt like I was still in covid era, won't rush back.

We had a fantastic dining experience at the Blackwell Ox. The food was exceptionally tasty, and the portion sizes were generous - a lot of which we took home. The staff were friendly and provided quick service. The atmosphere was pleasant, not noisy at all, and I found the prices to be excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Booked here for Sons birthday, although it was busy, service was prompt and all staff were lovely and friendly, food was amazing, Im new to Thai food and the waitress was bombarded with questions (sorry)! answered all my queries and I was delighted with my choice from the menu which had lots to choose from, all agreed food was excellent and Im looking forward to a return visit, many thanks for a lovely birthday celebration - and for singing happy birthday as you brought the cake out!

Visited on Saturday, beautiful day and after a long walk had a gorgeous lunch. Lovely friendly staff and we all cleared our plates. Curries and stir fry were really fresh and hot,only gripe is no dogs allowed inside, plenty of side rooms, maybe one could be set aside for dogs, hardly anyone inside and luckily for us we were blessed with good weather otherwise it would have been a no go.

A lovely place with really good quality fresh food. Pleasant staff made for a lovely evening with family

Food and service is top notch can't fault it portion sizes are huge too love the place

Invited to the Blackwell Ox by some friends. Unsure what to have ended up after a recommendation with Crispy Duck Penang. Wow was it lovely, something I would not normally have. Service was brilliant by extremely friendly staff. Thanks very much the Blackwell Ox. Will be back again.

Stayed in the Baysdale log cabin. Absolutely beautiful peaceful place for a chilled weekend. The lodges are gorgeous everything equipped for your stay top quality interiors. Third time we have stayed here and will certainly be back again.

Only ate at the restaurant but food was delicious and great size portions. Excellent value for money and great extensive menu

From the friendly greeting and seating, to the amazing food (very Thai based, but with a good mix of mild to spicy). I've absolutely lost count as to how many times I've eaten here, and each time it's just perfect. I'm trying different things on the menu and so far nothing below great. I look forward to my next visit.

Always loved this place for great food. However, last night we were all very disappointed. The dip that arrived with our starters was absolutely tasteless and looked like water. I appreciate we all have to make savings but I'd rather pay more for the decent dip. I mentioned the disappointment to the server and said out of the 9 of us we had all left it due to no taste and it looked and tasted like it had been watered down, she wasn't bothered and just answered me with "oh yer". Rest of meal was good, plenty of it and great taste. We will go back but never have starters again which is annoying.

Visited The Blackwell Ox today with my mum. Booked via phone easily and arrived 30 minutes before our reserved time, but were happily seated straight away. We had full table service which was served with a smile. We ordered the large Yorkshire pudding filled with beef and mushroom and a Thai green curry, both of which were plentiful and absolutely delicious. Staff were quick to notice our drinks running low and came to offer a top up. A nice relaxed meal out - not rushed and not left unattended. Highly recommended.

Food out of this world Everytime we go the food has been excellent. Never had a bad meal . Favourite meal is the battered cod with pork mince. Funny concoction but it goes really well love it

Excellent food and service. Can't comment about accommodation as I have never stayed there.

Totally amazing, piping hot and flavoursome. The restaurant offered many gluten free options. We also stayed in one of the lodges, which was also great. Thank you

Good enough service, and very good parking, located in a beautiful area. I ordered the deluxe sharing Thai platter which was a bit stodgy and not overly authentic. In short, good for a pint but I'm yet to be convinced about the food.

We only had food. Fantastic Thai menu. Wonderful food and service.

We love the food here. So fresh and tasty 😁

Went here for food not a stay. It is all table sevice and very quick service. Food was of a decent quality for pie and veg. The yellow and red tia curries were amazing. The staff are lovely but one of the ladies could use some mouthwash.

Best country pub by far for Thai food.

Big menu. Friendly staff, good range of beverages. Ordered pad kee mow or should i say pad kee WOW... just the right amount of spice, and it was delicious. Very filling. Got side order of salt and pepper chips because why not, very nice 🤩 Would recommemd highly if you enjoy thai food or any well seasoned dishes

Lovely place and the food was great.

Fantastic food, really pleasant service and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended with lots of choice and plenty of options for vegetarians.

Attended the restaurant for a family meal with relatives who had travelled from overseas for a family visit. Made an online booking due to the phone not being answered after ringing several times over a few days , when attending the restaurant , the booking ( on there end ) had been changed for days later - but our confirmation email had the correct time/date & quantity. The front of house staff member was incredibly rude & arrogant tapping his iPad in a very condescending manner that there wasn't a booking for that date ( again we had an email confirmation ) . The restaurant had several tables empty & had to ask more than once if we could sit at a empty table & wait with our disabled family member as no empathy was shown to an elderly women stood with a walking stick whilst they rectified their error. We where eventually sat at a table 30 minutes later & all the tables that where ' fully booked' were never filled the whole time we had our meals. The food was good , but no where near as nice as previous meals here. Our overall experience was tarnished due to the rudeness & arrogance shown.

Great Thai food in a lovely little hamlet

This is one of my favourite places, every time we go there is never too much trouble for us, staff are very welcoming, food is excellent, I would ring to book a table, they are very busy. Better to be safe than sorry, highly recommend 😁😁

Beautiful food, great service, and there were quite a few of us! Food was served and was delicious. Set in a wonderful area with lots of amazing scenery to explore and nice to finish off here for a drink and lovely food/service.

Great atmosphere, beers, and Thai food!

Never disappoint. Food is excellent every visit for the last 8yrs.

Really nice, so please dont tell anyone or everybody will be there!

Not stayed only been for food, always lovely food friendly staff. Play area for kids too

It's a very warm welcome from the staff very clean happy work place to have a family party or take someone special for a well cooked English & Thai restaurant this place was visited by the lollipopman and his wife familys best looking lollipopman in the northeast

Went for a meal and it did not disappoint. The food here is amazing and the service was excellent too. Would definitely recommend.

Birthday lunch with a friend. Always on point with the food. I had the fried cod with red Thai curry. Wished it was an endless plate, it was stunning!!! The staff are all warm friendly and the lady who took our other thoroughly knew the menu. They can tone down the spice if you are a wimp like me. Wholeheartedly recommend a visit

Just had a meal in the restaurant but food was fabulous 👌- also great play area for the kids. Stunning surroundings and countryside

Beautiful thai meal here tonight. Excellent service & lovely food.

The food was delicious, but the service from the lad who took our order was rubbish. He was really snappy and had no customer service skills. He made me feel uncomfortable to be honest.

Dont even attempt to book the lodges if you are a same sex group! I’ve tried to book a nice relaxing weekend in the lodge with family and a friend but as we are all girls they’ve refused us. I totally understand that some groups can be very disrespectful but that ruins it for everyone - how are you meant to make money but refusing the most popular target market? We were willing to pay deposits etc but nope. What makes the entire thing worse is how hoseasons.com tried to contact the Blackwell ox over a period of two weeks over telephone and email and had no response from them this has meant we can no longer book our backup options as with the Blackwell ox ignoring us for two weeks the others are booked up. I just think you should be courteous of people attempting to book - fully understand you can’t accommodate us but at least tell us that when we try to book not two weeks after where we are now left in the lurch

I visited here with my mam and younger sister for her birthday on Monday. It was a wise move as we enjoyed it. I chose vegetarian lasagne (despite it specialising in Thai food), my sister copied as that's what she does and my mam chose a green Thai curry. We felt a little greedy but ordered garlic bread too for the mains. The lasagne was filling and not watery like other establishments. My mam also enjoyed hers. Parking was ample and staff friendly. I'd highly recommend.
