    The only problem was that we expected a Sunday roast but were advised that they had run out over an hour earlier than our booking time. We were obviously disappointed but ordered alternatives which were very good. I think it should be made clear that if you want a roast then you should be sure to order on advance but I can't help thinking they should prepare more.

    Our order was forgotten and when it arrived after us asking because we were waiting an hour I would say the beef for a Sunday lunch was rare not medium rare and I sent mine back,for£24 a Sunday lunch is not really the Cows fortè,other orders like burgers etc looked great,but for a Sunday lunch venue coupled with waiting an hour and having to ask wasn’t that great.

    Great night for family birthday at The Cow. Staff very friendly, helpful and attentive. Went on a Friday night when the burger offer made the overall cost cheaper which was great and unexpected as had already viewed the menu and prices before attending. Would recommend

    I've visited The Cow many times and it's always amazing! Love the food, service, friendly team and cool spacious vibe! Kids love to play outside or in the pool room while the food is being cooked, so it's easy for everyone! I highly recommend this restaurant!
