Sean and Marcia have just taken over, and if you have been to the Shack in Spetisbury, you will know they are awesome. Come on down for a fresh look of a great pub. Support your community, use it, or lose it!!
Lovely pub. Very friendly, amazing food. Would definitely recommend
Popped in whilst cycling along the trailway. I arrived late for food but was still served by the very kind bar lady. Curry was scrummy and really good value.
We arrived with our staffie in a dog buggy which is the size of a large pram. The landlord welcomed us in and he took the buggy into a back room so it wasn't left outside. Very kind of him!
My wife had the chicken supreme with new potatoes and veg which she enjoyed very much. I had,what is probably the best I have had, liver and bacon with mashed potato and lovely thick onion gravy. All freshly made. My wife then had the sticky toffee pudding which was a very large portion and tasted great.
The landlord and lady behind the bar were very friendly and helpful from arriving to leaving.
Would I go back? Certainly!!
Brilliant, well worth 5 stars.
Friendly welcome, good selection of well kept real ales, a good menu with plenty of choice and fantastic home cooked food.
We are not local to you, but next time we are within a hour of you will make the drive over to come to your pub again.
Our first visit to the Old Ox since moving to Blandford. Instantly made to feel like locals and given a helpful guide through the drinks options and menu. The food was unpretentious good quality pub food, well presented and served by attentive staff. We shall definitely be returning.
Extremely friendly staff. Lovely decor and comfortable chairs. Food as excellent as ever from Sherry. Very good portions and prices. Fish dishes very good. Large variety on the menu to suit everyone. Will be going back.
Welcoming..dog friendly..a good place to catch up with friends and have a drink. Ample parking.
So glad all the other pubs were fully booked or we might have missed this great place! 5🌟 service by the staff, always polite a very well kept pub with the best food we've had in many along year.♥️ Lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean thanks for a great experience.
Lovely lady behind the bar. Good range of pub food available. Barry was both very efficient and personable. The portions are generous.
The toilets were clean and had some interesting photos on the wall, both mens and womens.
We had a fantastic meal at The Old Ox Inn last night. A different and exciting menu to choose from excellent service and the bar area where we sat was immaculate. A lovely village pub that we will be re visiting. I had fresh sardines which were perfect for a Summers evening.
Friendly service and delicious food. We chose from the lunch snack menu, two of us had jacket potatoes with bacon, brie and cranberry served with salad and homemade coleslaw and the other had a prawn sandwich with chips and coleslaw, everything was lovely. 3 pavlovas with lots of fresh fruit for pudding. Couldn't fault anything, will be back soon to try the main menu.
Visited the Old Ox on Thursday 29th October 2020. We had not booked but saw the sign so called in.
The host was very welcoming and the place very clean and tidy but it was when the food arrived that things got interesting. I love liver but can’t be bothered to cook it so that was my choice and it was superb. So tasty I didn’t want it to end. The sticky toffee pudding was just as tasty.
My friend had the lamb shank which was also very tasty and so tender it just fell off the bone and her Apple crumble was just as she liked it.
We both left feeling full and very happy with our visit
We have lived in Shillingstone for nearly 2 years now and due to COVID we hadn’t had the opportunity to get to our local pub.
That changed recently with a family afternoon meal.
Booked via phone and the table was all ready for us (7 of us) the food was excellent, service was 2nd to none.
Really is a lovely place, atmosphere was great, food excellent and we shall be all be back again soon….
What a great place. Lovely, welcoming staff, varied menu, high quality food and modern clean surroundings. Well done team!
Very friendly staff, lovely pub
