We ate lunch so can't say anything about the rooms, but... Five of us went for Sunday lunch, especially for an 80+ birthday. It. Was. Fabulous. Sunday lunch is something I avoid as so often one or two elements are disappointing - not here! Two types of potatoes, two types of cabbage, two other vegetables, 3 types of meat, delicious gravy and a crisp Yorkshire pudding. All served by fab staff, even the young guys serving and clearing plates were engaging and attentive. Really couldn't fault any of it. Booking essential, will definitely be back. Thank you 🙏

We go on tapas nights, the atmosphere is great, all the crew are very friendly and welcoming, the food is fantastic! Well worth a visit a brilliant find. I can't comment on the rooms as I've never stayed but if the rest is anything to go buy they will be great.

I could not recommend this place enough! The service from the 3 girls in there, I’m sorry I didn’t catch names, was just fantastic. We rang ahead while we were on the way to see if they had a table and the lady on the phone was so friendly and accommodating. It was the first day of the new menu and both dishes we ordered were honestly out of this world. I want to go back…. Tomorrow! I would give 6/5 starts if I could. Thank you so much!

If you're not sure whether to visit The Durham Ox, do it. They did a fabulous job providing amazing food for a group of 30 for our intimate wedding reception. The food was exceptionally presented on a grazing table and tasted amazing. Lauren and her team went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after from start to finish. We will certainly be returning for a meal soon; really great food!

Wow wow wow. Had the pleasure of dining here today with my sister, as I had heard good things about the place. We were greeted and served by a lovely lady who I think was the manager. She was so friendly and made us feel instantly welcome and relaxed. All the staff were so kind and accommodating and it was like a breath of fresh air. The food was outstanding !! I had the lamb roast and my sister had the beef, the meat was cooked to perfection, everything hot and beautifully presented. What a wonderful experience it was, we loved it and can't wait to return. Keep up the fantastic work guys, Dana & Rachel

We finally got around to booking in and eating here after living in the area for the last 4 years. What a fantastic evening, was really nice layout and atmosphere inside. Service was excellent, food was pretty special and good wine selection. Will definitely book and go again as need to try the Sunday lunch.

Wonderful food, would recommend to anyone for any occasion. The staff you can clearly see enjoy where they work and this speaks volume. Of course there are cheaper places to eat in the area but not even close to the quality and presentation of the Durham Ox.

6 of us went for a meal here on Saturday evening (13/4/24)...menu was great, didn't know what to choose, and food was fantastic, fresh, hot and so delicious. Staff very friendly and service was great. Wish we lived closer, would definitely make this our local if we did!

I stayed at the Durham Ox on Sunday night. The room was very attractive and quiet, with a great shower, comfortable bed, and tea and coffee tray. I would stay there again.

Amazing staff and fantastic food. The Sunday dinners are great. Steaks are great. The themed tapas nights are fantastic. It can be quite busy during peak times but that's what you get when you're good.

We were a group of 12 this evening for the Greek Meze menu and we were not disappointed! The service was excellent, as always. The girls are so helpful and friendly and cannot do enough for you. But the food - oh my goodness! Every dish was beautifullly cooked and presented and tasted DEVINE! We had a Greek in our company and he requested to speak to the chef to congratulate him! That in itself speaks volumes! HIGHLY recommended!😁

We have been so many times over the years and never fails to impress. The staff and owner are so friendly and welcoming. The food is exceptional, we have been tonight for the Greek Tapas and the food was second to none, cannot rate it high enough, brilliant for a local pub/restaurant.

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 sure

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.

Would not hesitate to recommend The Olive Pot for a special occasion. From booking to execution of a meal for 10, the service could not have been any better. We were given a large choice of menus from which we chose 3 dishes for each course. The staff arrived on time, dressed the table and cooked and served the most amazing meals. The quality of the food was excellent and cooked to perfection. I would go so far as to say it was some of best I'd had in a very long time... and plenty of it. After we had finished everything was left spotless. I really don't k so how they did it, but it made an auspicious occasion very special. Thank you.

Amazing authentic tasty food and great value for money. The portion sizes are big and a pad Thai easily feeds 2 of us. You need to know how to order which took me a week to figure out. You text your order in the day and say what time you want it. They will confirm if that slot is available and then you collect it. No delivery available. Normally cash payment only but during lockdown you have the option to do a bank transfer.
