The Ketton Ox in Stockton-on-Tees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely amazing spot for food n drinks! Cheap, delicious food and even better drinks! Staff couldn’t have done anything more to make our experience amazing! Very friendly and helpful! Found my new favourite place!

U hav totally ruiend my grandad sam curnows pub. It used 2 be a family place were every1 met up. My gdad wud be turning in his grave. U prob hav tuk the floor up with the star on it.

Lovely pub nice food,only one bar person serving ?

We were welcomed by James who was very polite and friendly. The sears were full outside as the sun was out but plenty of space inside. Both James and the lady (who I didn’t get her name) ensured everything was ok with our meal and made it a pleasant experience. Very good customer service.

Excellent pub with a good selection of craft beers, wines and cocktails. Neat and tidy place with a good atmosphere and well worth a visit.

Ordered Mexican via Uber Eats (Burrito Bandits) which is actually the Ketton Ox. Order was completely wrong although the receipt was correct. Rang the Ketton Ox and was completely fobbed off. The below was what was delivered. This cost £27!. Avoid at all cost. Absolutely the worst service ever. Wouldn’t mind if they had been apologetic but they were simply rude.

There are a couple of good pubs in Yarm. The Ketton Ox is my favourite.

Needs refurbishment, way behind city pubs. Extremely average pub charging city prices

We popped in for a meal today and we were delighted with the food! There was a little confusion between us and the staff on, but she was so apologetic and took great care of us, aided by the young man there too! I’m not sure of their names, it was lunch time on 5th of July and they were brilliant! Great food and service as always!

Service had been really good. Lisa couldn’t have done more for us, checked on food that she thought may have been out of stock but they had had a delivery rather than trying to fob us off. She also brought over our latte when done. Couldn’t have asked for more. Food was great 3x fish and chips and a chicken and cheese burger, quick, efficient and cooked to perfection! Thank you Lisa!

Discriminating staff who did not give me any ice and insisted on not having any after my friends were served some

Visited a number of times for the football and always received fantastic service, the pub is always clean and tidy and the drinks selection is pretty good. The past few times I’ve been in I was served by 3 lads, I think their names were Fin, Sean and James, always give great friendly service and they make me want to return. 5 stars from me.

As the closest thing to a local I have, thought its time to write a review, great choice of beers and lagers, always like the choice of music, service is always good but during this long awaited sunny spell Lisa deserves a special mention, been twice this week and a big thanks to Lisa for the excellent service on both occasions 👍 Thank you 😃

Visited for lunch, wrap was lovley but the toasties were over cooked and very dry which was a shame.

Sadly since the current management took over there is very little customer service in this pub now. With the exception of a couple of bar staff, Dan being one, very few seem to actually like serving customers. There is no engagement, no hellos, smiles, they look like they don’t want to be there which is possibly the case. I always think if you don’t like working in hospitality then do something else. I have used this pub for over 15 years so only come in to see regular friends. The staff at the George are welcoming, polite and friendly to customers. Not sure what is going wrong in Ketton Ox.

Can't rate but approaching appearance of peeling paint and tired chain grill style menu made my feet take me back to the car and somewhere nicer. Might have been alright. I'll never know!

Dropped in for a drink staff very attentive served straight away good selection of beers

Great pub, had a nice experience and the band that played yesterday (the bitters) were amazing.

Visited yesterday for band night. Staff were lovely and it was an all round great pub!

Great Pub Grub and nice atmosphere!

Busy as usual but great atmosphere,staff good and service good,free pool table and live tv ,plenty of tables but all full,decent pint and good night out with friends.would come back and recommend.

Called in for lunch. Food was lovely and hot and the service by Lisa was brilliant. She was so welcoming, professional and polite. We will return.

Was alright. They have a thousand tv's so your not likely to miss out on anything! Comfortable, quiet (when we went). Staff are alright. Everything alright.. 4 stars easy.

Some excellent value simple bar food. Really well cooked, little extras like sundried tomatos in the salad really elevated it.

Had lunch today with my son. Lovely beefburger and lasagne. Very good value.

Great bar and service as always. It was great to be back, the atmosphere was brilliant it was the day of the Grand National. Staff friendly and quick waited no time for drinks and served quickly.

Nice food, friendly staff, good selection of drinks

really good food and staff were inviting and friendly

just been in ketton really enjoyed my visit will definitely return

Attended a birthday party just over 2 weeks ago. I did not have food, so I can not comment. The bar was very busy but had plenty of staff behind the bar. The service was very poor. The young females in particular, who either ignored me ( and this was felt by others among the group, who commented on the poor servive) or on their mobiles. There was no please or thank you. Very ignorant in fact. Would I recommend? Probably not.

Great bar , nice food , good prices , Lisa is great, friendly and always top service given. Would recommend to anyone. A favourite of ours.

Great service from Lisa as always, never fails to greet you with a smile and a friendly welcome. Always my go to place in yarm

Had the mix grill it was really good will definitely return for more. Live singer was brill aswell😍😍 really good pub with a really good selection of beers

We went to the ketton on Saturday, some great service by Sean and fantastic food too. Would definitely recommend to a friend

On a weekend trip to Kirby Lonsdale we visited the Snooty Fox which is part of the Stonegate group and the food was superb so he when we visited Yarm we decided to have lunch at the Ketton Ox which is part of the same group with an almost identical menu so we hoping for a similar experience, how wrong we were! The food was awful at the Ketton Ox & we won't be ordering there again, out of the four meals we ordered the Chicken Burger was OK but nothing special, the batter on the Fish & Chips was a soggy mess, the gammon steak was as hard as the sole of a boot with the onion rings also missing and the Pizza was burnt & bland with way too much tomato paste on the base, it was horrible & a Chicago Town Pizza would beat it hands down. Obviously all the food is cooked from frozen and no care was taken with any of the meals. Terrible Food Service, I'd advise you just stick to the Drinks. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g1077004-d7756969-r943645511-The_Ketton_Ox-Yarm_Stockton_on_Tees_England.html#

What a wonderful place to spend an afternoon! Popped in for a bite to eat off the back of a recommendation from a friend and ended up staying till the evening. The staff are lovley, lots of choices on the menu and reasonably priced! We will be back again.

Me and my husband popped in the Ketton Ox last week. Service was excellent and the staff were friendly. We had some amazing pub food which came with a good atmosphere. This was not a planned trip bit would definitely call in again.

Amazing location, immaculate cleanliness, the service from all of the staff was outstanding and the atmosphere was great.

We called in for food on Mother’s Day and it was superb! We had 2 pies, fish and chips and a burger and it was flawless! We did feel sorry for the chef as he did inform us that he’d dropped one of our pies, but was quick to react and we only had to wait a further 2 minutes, and he was so apologetic. Amazing service from everyone!

Delicious parmo, great service!

No gluten free meal highlighted on the menu, no gluten free menu. Certain people get seriously ill from consuming gluten and it's embarrassing pushing your way to the front of the bar to ask.

Great service, very welcoming and warm, got some coffees and even had them brought to our table so we didn’t have to wait! Dan served me

Lisa who works there, is such a fantastic, vibrant person she makes visiting the KO a great experience. There is a great choice of beers and my wife says Lisa does the best coffee in town.

Always a good pint when you’re served by Lisa, always has smile on her face, pleasant and very accommodating and very helpful.

Great pub, great service, and Lisa goes that extra mile every time. Best pun in yarm 😁😁😁😁😁💕 will definitely return

Thought I'd pop in for a pint and the price was reasonable, quite a busy pub. I never tried the food so only 3 stars, can't judge it if I haven't tried it. Sport on TV, the place was warm and had some music in the background to comfy overall.

We were advised to visit the Ketton Ox as it had wheelchair access and disabled facilities. The staff were extremely helpful both with entrance and exiting the premises - some of the best help we have had in any establishment. We enjoyed our meal, even more so as we were advised that the January deals were still available. Would recommend for a pub lunch and will hope to visit again. Thank you.

Really enjoyed my visit. Will definitely return

If you like the Ketton Ox, you will LOVE Wetherspoons! Had some lunch, undercooked sausages, frozen chips, it reminded us so much of Wetherspoons quality but the food was worse and so was the beer? Can’t recommend it I’m afraid!

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Thanks to Lisa.

Lisa brought the New Year in with a few perfect pints of Bass. Thank you Lisa and have a great year you and all the staff.

Service provided by Lisa was impeccable, food is affordable and very high quality, Will come back here again.

Had lunch at ketton ox today. Lovely meal and great friendly and helpful service frome Lisa. Will be back soon.

Thanks to Lisa, the service at this tremendous establishment was outstanding. We would definitely return for another visit..

Lisa provided a great service and food was great.

Had a great day out in the Ketton, always a great time with family and friends , Lisa always makes you feel very welcome, pints and food are always excellent. Best pub in Yarm

Called in the Ketton Ox mid week and there was a deal on the lunches. These were just the right size for us and very good value for money. Service was excellent and the staff were friendly. Will definitely call in again.

Had a great Sunday out with the lads for Xmas..

The Ketton Ox is a very historic pub, from what is said outside its around 400 year old. The place was very busy and the layout were pretty good. I ordered the steak and although it were nice, the food portions are very small for what you pay for.

The staff in this place are some of the most miserable I have ever seen. Been in here loads of times and they never seem to cheer up. Must be underpaid or undervalued which I guess isn't their fault but I'd bet there are plenty of others who would gladly take their place

Lucie was amazing on the bar. Welcoming member off staff enjoyed my evening in the pub. The burger I ordered was also cooked to perfection.

Went in on a Sunday afternoon. Pub was bustling and had a really nice atmosphere. Used the food app to order a couple of sharing platters which came quickly and very nice .

Lisa one of the most hard working staff delivering the best Bass in the area time after time. All staff do an amazing friendly job and welcome everyone even me that takes some doing😉🍻 Andy the new manager fitting in quite well too.

Great friendly atmosphere, service extremely good. Lucie is very efficient and serves a fantastic pint. The Ketton Ox is my away from home local and is always very welcoming.

Fantastic pub, served by Dan who was brilliant, very patient with our large order, great cocktails too, just a great guy

Popped into the Ketton for a spot of lunch. We opted for the Parmo and where not disappointed. Amazing service from Petra and Dan.

Huge mixed grill and a great price, fantastic.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming food was extremely good value for money would highly recommend a visit

The Ketton Ox was clean, staff were friendly and welcoming, lovely pub, pleasant atmosphere, would visit again and have told family members to visit

First time visiting very friendly staff great atmosphere food was amazing would highly recommend

Very friendly staff, nice pub, lovely atmosphere, would highly recommend

The singer last night was really good

We passed here the other day so we called in for food. The food was lovely, the staff were friendly and the pub itself was very homely. Great experience all round will definitely call in again.

What a great pub! Had a fantastic night with friends. Food is tasty and great value. Plenty to choose from the drinks menu. Will definitely return when in Yarm again!

Popped in this pub for food which was very nice and priced ok too. It’s a lovely pub inside with a very warm atmosphere and friendly staff. We will definitely return here when passing again.

Took our parents out for a meal and we all thought the food was delicious and a decent price too. The staff were all friendly and helpful and there were a nice selection of drinks to choose from. Will definitely return when in the area.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, great band , good price for a family of four, will definitely be return sooner rather than later. Pizza was amazing.

Great Friday night spent in a very impressive pub, We only intended to have dinner here, but once the live music began, we were going nowhere. Our pizzas were 1st class, and the bar man’s knowledge of the beers on tap was very professional Can’t...

Comfortable place for a drink with friends, with decent service...

Had a fantastic meal on a Friday night at the ketton ox, 2 of us had pizza and 2 had burgers, amazing pub food, the atmosphere was super, they had a singer on, people eat and drinking. Lovely relaxed evening. Definitely be back. Amazing value too

We always make time to visit The Keaton when we’re in town. Friday evenings are recommended, with live entertainment, a pizza and some great craft ales all very enjoyable

Came in here on a Saturday night with a friend for a catch up. We had a meal and shared some wine, all of which was great. As we were deciding what to do next the live singer came on and he was so good...

I have been twice to this pub, 1st time the food was amazing 2nd time it was OK but not as good, lovely little pub though and dog friendly.

Didn't have food, so I can't rate but cocktails were perfect 👌

Had the mix grill it was really good will definitely return for more. Live singer was brill aswell😍😍

Never coming to this pub again, the women in charge is the rudest most snotty nosed cow i've ever met, I came in with a collectors cuo from the beer festival we just came from and mouthed off "You can't bring them here", we thought nothing of it, we sat down to listen to the live band (They were most impressive with their 8 string Mandolin) the same small, blonde-haired women comes to pick up our beer glasses, we help her by handing our pint glasses, she then lurches over and tells us to "Finish our drinks and leave". We did nothing wrong and I've never been made to feel so unwelcome in a pub. Avoid this place if you're ever in Yarm.

Visited on Saturday evening for the live singer. Food was lovely, singer was really good. Drinks were spot on. We will definitely be back!

Be careful at this place as if you ask for vodka and coke, you will be served the "house vodka" which is grey goose and they charge you alot extra. Seemed abit of a scam to me as they had cheaper variants of vodka buts that's just my opinion.

Great cask ales, best pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord in Yarm, can't fault the bar staff.

Nice food all though some meals were not available.

Live music on a Saturday night. Good change from dance music etc.

Called in while on a weekend away on a Friday afternoon, then came back to watch a live band the same night (V12) who were also very good, friendly staff, nicely set out pub, we didn't eat but the menu looked good, we even called back in on Sunday night we liked it that much 😁 we would definitely recommend a visit to this place 👏

Ordered pesto linguine and it came without any pesto. Sent it back and it had a bit of pesto on this time but was quite dry. The garlic bread that came with the lasagne was burnt. Told the waitress that the linguine was dry and she just took the plates away and said nothing.

We visited Yarm and came across the Ketton Ox. The tables outside facing road were full. We decided to give it a go for Sunday lunch. The food was lovely I had pork which came with crackling which was really nice. The meat was lovely,...

Always a great time in this pub! Love the staff and Lisa and Sophie Graham are the best!

last Sunday afternoon, i came down with My Friend John, even though he was a postman, and really enjoyed my afternoon, the chicken Dejon's i was given were lovely, and i know my friends enjoyed their Beer. I thought the service was very good and...

Had another great day and drinks in the Ketton ox, always made to feel welcome. Great service from Sophie who always goes above and beyond

What a lovely pub the ketton ox is good service Sophie . G so friendly

The sun was shining, popped into the ketton for some lunch. Sat outside in the sunshine our food arrived table service by Lisa was perfect. Definitely will be coming back!!

Came in for drinks this week and Lisa was amazing! I come in regularly and everytime she is in the service is amazing. Thanks again lisa!
