About Ox Club

Ox Club is a neighbourhood gem in Leeds city centre where wood-fired cooking and a focused, small menu define the experience. The aroma of the grill hits you on entry—a signal of the care taken with each plate. Regulars return for the Sunday roast (porchetta, roasted vegetables, divine Basque cheesecake), the steak (consistently called "the best in Leeds"), and signature dishes like pig tails and oysters. The countertop seating offers an intimate vantage of the open kitchen, while the cosy, rustic setting feels deliberately unpretentious despite the precision on the plate. Service stands out: staff are attentive, knowledgeable about wine and non-alcoholic pairings, and genuinely engaged—several reviews single out named servers for their warmth and recommendations. The 4-course menu delivers exceptional value for the quality, and the tasting menu option attracts diners willing to travel from neighbouring cities. A Michelin star sits lightly here; the focus remains on harmonious flavours and unfussy hospitality.
