The Ox Cheltenham

I attended a tasting evening where we sampled 11 different dishes. The food was exquisitely cooked. We tried the rump steak, t-bone steak, sirloin steak and fillet steak. They were all moist, tender and full of flavour. The fillet was perfect. We also tried the pig's head, the ribs, the cod, the smoked salmon and quite a few of the vegetarian dishes and side dishes. I was impressed by how many gluten-free menu options there were. The coconut cake bar dessert was my favourite - absolutely delicious - like a gooey giant bounty! The ice creams and sorbets were also very tasty. I loved the hidden-gem, dimly lit basement atmosphere, combined with the knowledge and passion that each dish was served with. Every dish was also very nicely presented and paired with well thought out garnishes. The cocktails were also faultless and more unique than the run of the mill cocktails you find more other places. If you're looking for steak or fish done right... I highly recommend The Ox. We had a very enjoyable evening and would definitely return.
