ABOUT US:

Oxtail is a cosy & informal neighbourhood eatery located upstairs @ the Shebeen pub in Balla.

Working in tandem with the seasons, Chef/Owner Patrick McEllin creates an ever-changing menu and uses the very best produce, sourced locally wherever possible. At Oxtail, we support local farmers and artisan food producers and our menu reflect this. Fresh ingredients, classical menu with a contemporary twist, warm and inviting atmosphere are what describes us best.

Balla native, Head Chef Patrick McEllin started his cooking career in the renowned Ballynahinch Castle while studying professional cookery in the GMIT. Patrick has worked all around the world in prestigious kitchens, from Michelin star Bibendum, Kensington, London to renowned Irish Chef Padraic Kielty’s restaurants in Sydney, and in recent years, in Galway’s top establishments. After his travels, Patrick decided to go back to his roots and open Oxtail Kitchen with his French partner, Rebecca.
