A traditional style inn, the Spotted Ox was originally built as a house and later extended to an inn. Located in the historic and charming village of Tockwith in North Yorkshire, there has been a village on the site since at least 1086. The Doomsday Book mentions 'Tocvi' and our most famous moment in history came when the village was used as a staging post by Oliver Cromwell prior to the Battle of Marston Moor in 1644.

A real village pub. This family run pub in Tockwith is everything a village pub should be with good beer and choice of drinks at reasonable prices to some fantastic homemade food. Having eaten through the week, the sausage and mash was delightful with super creamy mash and tasty sausages. On a Sunday the Sunday roast is very good with beautiful cuts of meat and a good selection of vegetables.
This pub has a real village pub interior and fits perfectly into its surroundings. The pub always has different events on such a pubs quizzes and other raffles.
If you are in Tockwith make sure you visit

The new owners are brilliant and they've turned the place around in a matter of weeks. Doing so well hosting the Euro England games, atmosphere is brilliant and the little half time treat was above and beyond. You are a credit to the village. Hoping you keep showing more and more live sport as the village needs it !
