Still waiting for our complimentary glass of prosecco ! Went for an early evening sharing plate menu that was advertised as including the above special offer. We were never invited to have one -not surprising since they charge £12.65 for a bang average large glass of Pino Grigio Blush !! That includes the optional service charge. To be fair the Sharing Plate was good but sky high wine prices left a nasty taste.

While in Yorkshire recently we spent a night at the Durham Ox in Crayke. This is an excellent inn offering really nice accommodation and superb food. Our room was very comfortable, nicely decorated and everything worked! Dinner was of a very high standard and there were a number of vegetarian options. Likewise breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful and they make a mean Porn Star Martini. Well worth a visit if you’re in the York/Thirsk area.

As always a fabulous Sunday lunch. The Durham Ox never fails to deliver on every level, excellent food and service. A favourite of ours for many years. Glad it has received very well deserved accolades. We always book now to avoid disappointment.
