    Lovely meal, lovely staff, lovely place. We will be back next year without failure. The Roast pork was amazing I had been waiting all week for a Sunday roast and you didn't disappoint. The whole dining experience was so enjoyable and always is. Thank you. 😊

    We took 4 guests to the Dun Cow for dinner. The pub was buzzing when we arrived but nevertheless we had a very warm welcome and prompt service at the bar. Our dinner was delicious and special mention of the Moules Marinieres sauce which was really good. Great to see the pub doing so well under new management.

    As a frequent customer of the Duncow. I found the menu disappointing as there was only one special main. Not the usual choice and no fish.

    Great service and never rushed us even though we were slightly late from a walk beforehand. Everyone of the 8 thoroughly enjoyed their food.
