    The atmosphere was lovely, Christmas decorations were being put up, and everyone was enjoying the evening. The service was excellent, both our waitresses were very attentive,even though it was very busy. This is obviously a very popular restaurant in the area. The food was excellent,but we thought a little expensive. It is certainly worth a visit if you are in the area. A coach load of young men were about to enter as we left, not sure how that changed the situation .....

    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.

    The Dun Cow is fast becoming my favourite place to eat in the area. Warm cosy inviting pub with comforting delicious food, excellent, friendly service, overall a lovely experience. We visited on a Sat lunchtime. The pub was busy but the service was excellent throughout. The weather was awful but views out across the marshes just fabulous. Thank you so much.
