the ox

2 of us popped in for sunday lunch

thefoodis very nice and the service was very good,

the only reason why i am not giving 5* is because we weren’t told dogs were allowed in the area we were sitting in. today was a wet day, i had 4 large smelly dogs around me whilst we were finishing ourfoodand they stank the place out.

also the website does not say dog friendly.

went here 1st time on its first week of opening. wow, what a transformation. and the staff are ace. joe, excellent guy and absolutely charming. the bar has excellent choices of spirits and recently stocked on the new arbikie scottish potato vodka. one we also like having with our meals is the mini prosecco bottles. sweet! good to see tim stocking local brands,great support.

thefoodis excellent. had mackerel as a main instead of the starter. so so fresh and cooked so right,crispy on the top and soft meaty center with just a hint of pink. the ox cheek was divine too. very large cheek braised and juicy, mmmmm.

on new years day we came here for the count down party. what a party! they know how to entertain and keep a party going.

best part is, it is dog friendly. bonus points!

i'd recommend coming here for a good finer pub meal, enjoying the choices of spirits at the bar and bring your dog. try the fish and chips. my sunday favourite!

went here on a saturday night with a couple of my friends to have some drinks. the atmosphere was great, and it wasn't too busy. the staff were lovely and there were enough on that we never had to wait too long at the bar to get served. the drinks were general edinburgh prices so £4-5 for a bottle of beer but that's expected in such a nice place on broughton street. i'll definitely be going back soon to check out thefoodmenu.
