    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!

    We decided to give bingo night a go with food beforehand. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive and food served quickly and my word, what a feast! We had the chicken burgers with two side dishes so plenty to make our way through. We thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful! Bingo was great fun with the atmosphere lively - have booked again to go back for about her round next month!

    Good food in an excellent setting the only issue is the ridiculously bumpy long unmade road that leads to the Cow. It will wreck the suspension on your car. Tapnell need to do something about this urgently.

    Fantastic meal with the family and a lovely setting. Friendly staff and great food. We tried to go last year during the summer but it was fully booked. Definitely worth the wait.
