About Ox Club

9Value
Ox Club occupies the ground floor of Headrow House, a converted mill that also contains a beer hall and cocktail bar — a multi-storey venue that represents the best of Leeds's ambition. The restaurant centres on a wood-fired grill imported from the United States, around which chef Ben Davy has built a menu that is simultaneously primal and sophisticated.

The Michelin Guide listing recognises a kitchen that knows exactly what it is doing with flame. Dry-aged steaks are the headliners — Yorkshire-sourced, hung on site, and cooked with the kind of confidence that comes from having done it ten thousand times. But Ox Club is not merely a steakhouse: seasonal vegetables from the grill, sharing boards of aged charcuterie, and a Sunday roast that combines traditional comfort with technical precision demonstrate a kitchen range that earns the room's reputation.

The wine list runs to several hundred bottles with particular depth in Burgundy and Rhône. The cocktail programme upstairs is excellent if you want to extend the evening. Ox Club is the room Leeds reaches for when the city wants to impress — and it does not disappoint.

Best Occasion Fit

Ox Club is Leeds's strongest choice for team dinners. The sharing-focused menu generates natural conversation, the beer hall atmosphere upstairs accommodates a group's pre-dinner energy, and the cooking is crowd-pleasing enough for mixed palates without ever being dull.
