Country pub and restaurant in the beatutiful village of Thimbleby, within the Lincolshire Wolds. G Booking is always advisable.
(300)

Situated in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a short distance from the picturesque market town of Horncastle. The Durham Ox is a charming, welcoming country pub, with friendly staff. Our traditional Sunday lunch is always very popular as are our bar meals. A full restaurant menu is available in our restaurant, which is cooked to perfection by our chef and we always try to source our food as locally as we can. Come and warm up next to our roaring log fire, have a pint or two in our 'RAF corner' or perhaps a bar meal in the 'cow shed', a glass of wine in our garden, or why not treat yourself to a fabulous meal in our delightful restaurant. Which ever you choose you are always guaranteed a very warm welcome. Did we mention we also have a registered caravan site? Why not bring your caravan or motorhome and stay with us a little longer. We look forward to seeing you soon.

What a lovely afternoon we had at our Autumn Warmers Afternoon Treat!
If you weren't able to join us this time, we thought we'd share a little photo of what you missed!
Lots of delicious sweet and savoury goodies, lovely warming soup and, of course, a little tipple to wash it all down! 🥂
A huge thank you to everyone who came along. It was lovely to see you all, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
And if you missed out this time, don't worry, there will be more Afternoon Treats coming up at The Durham Ox, so hopefully we'll see you at the next one!
