A traditional pub at the foot of Hambledon Hill
The Old Ox Inn aims to be the focal point of village life in Shillingstone Dorset as well as a welcoming venue for visitors.
Inside there is an inviting, lively, vibrant bar, a quieter cosy snug restaurant and outside is our large beer garden with superb views of Hambledon Hill.
We have worked in hospitality for some years now and are very keen to maintain the community spirit of the Old Ox Inn and its role as the hub for village life and activities.
We source as much produce locally as possible, we host many local events throughout the year and we support the community to use the pub and skittle alley for their own functions.
If you are part of the Shillingstone community, please let us know if you have any other ideas too.
See the Events page for full details of all our great events.
Wednesdays and Thursdays 5pm to 7pm December and January
£1 a square available now. Draw on 21st December 2024

Shillingstone Railway Station is well worth a visit. Restoration work started sometime ago with a view to eventually being able to run train rides from the station.
Nestling at the foot of Hambledon Hill, the Old Ox Inn Shillingstone is a haven for walkers, ramblers and cyclists with wonderful walks and excellent bike rides all around us.
Access to Trailways is just 500 yards from the pub garden and the Wessex Ridgeway Trail, a magnificent ridge-top route crossing Dorset's rural heartland is close by too.
