About This Pub
You know, chatting about The Ox feels like sharing stories over a pint with mates – it's got this charm as a proper local in Littleborough, where the new landlord's buzzing with ideas for themed events that could really liven things up. From what I've gathered, the atmosphere shines during things like darts nights, where it's all relaxed and enjoyable without any drama, making it a nice spot for a casual evening. Plus, being inexpensive means you can pop in for a few without worrying about the wallet. On the other hand, it's had a bit of a rough ride with management changes over the years, and some have mentioned it's hit a low point with sticky floors and that not-so-bustling crowd anymore, which is a pity because it has so much potential. If you're in the area, I'd say give it a go; supporting places like this might just help it get back on track and become that fantastic local haunt we all love.

Newly reopened. Could be a fantastic local if people support it. New landlord got lots of ideas for themed events
I like this pub, a good local.
With regret, with two + years of changing management this establishment has now reached rock bottom, what a shame. Most of the regulars have moved on and realistically, I doubt if they will come back unless there are some quite significant changes. Such a shy.
Darts night. Great atmosphere, no trouble no drama. Good night out
A bit of a rough house with a sticky floor but a decent enough place to sit down with a pint.
Would like to Thank Cath all staff and patrons of the Ox for looking after us on my mums wake. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
