Durham Ox - Thimbleby

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.

A little thank you from us...

We’ve recently discovered that all your likes, shares and comments really do add up, so we’ve decided to put any money we receive from Facebook monetisation straight into our charity fund.

So whether you’ve liked us, shared us, praised us, teased us or told us where we’re going wrong, thank you for getting involved.

Together, we’ve already raised an amazing £5,554 for charity in 2026, and now even Facebook is helping us add a few more pennies to the pot. ❤️

Keep commenting... apparently it pays!

Who decided Fish & Chips were only for Fridays anyway?
Crispy battered haddock, hand-cut chips, mushy peas & curry sauce.
A proper pub classic, served Wednesday to Saturday lunch and evening at The Durham Ox!
And if you fancy something a little lighter, it’s also available on our Small Appetite Menu.
