Fire-Cooked Restaurant on Dartmoor National Park

Fire at the Heart of Every Dish

Our kitchen centres around one simple idea: exceptional ingredients deserve exceptional cooking.

Every service begins with carefully selected produce from trusted local suppliers. Grass-fed Devon beef, fresh fish landed in Brixham and seasonal ingredients are brought together over our signature Ox Grill, allowing fire to enhance rather than overpower each ingredient.

Menus evolve throughout the year, reflecting the changing seasons and the best produce available across Devon.

The Grill

Cooking over open fire demands patience, precision and respect for every ingredient.

The Ox Grill produces intense heat, subtle smokiness and remarkable flavour, allowing our chefs to create dishes that are both simple and memorable.

Guests often enjoy watching the theatre of the grill as steaks, seafood and vegetables move from flame to plate.

Grass-fed South West Beef

Our beef comes from trusted local farms where cattle graze naturally on Devon pasture.

Carefully aged before reaching our kitchen, every steak is finished over fire to highlight the depth of flavour that only exceptional provenance can provide.
