When Oxwell & Co. closed its doors, CEO Ben Jones of M Group, which owns the restaurant, said that the pub’s absence “is a hiatus, rather than a final farewell”. That plan has come somewhat to pass as the Ox has returned for a limited time.

In collaboration with Straits Clan, the Ox has opened a pop-up store for six weeks at Clan Cafe from Nov 11 to Dec 31.

The partnership known as Oxwell & Clan will serve Christmas dishes such as crackled belly of pork with savoy cabbage, clove and apple sauce and roasting juices and the turkey roulade with celery, chestnuts, sage, mushrooms and gravy.

Oxwell & Clan will also donate a meal to The Food Bank Singapore for every meal ordered.
