The Dun Cow in Dunchurch is a country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character. Our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

The Dun Cow is named after a local myth. Legend has it that the Dun Cow was a "monstrous beast four yards high and six yards long" which provided milk to the locals. A witch made it go on a murderous rampage until it was slain by Guy, Earl of Warwick. In 1605, the Gunpowder Plotters also stayed in Dunchurch.

Dunchurch, many times 'Best Kept Village of the Year', is a designated conservation area. At its heart is The Dun Cow whose past guests include Dam Buster Group Captain Guy Gibson and the poet Longfellow.

    Very limited choices available with my first two choices being sold out. Service was very robotic and extremely slow. Waited an extraordinary amount of time for food, service and then payment. Other people around us were also complaining. Very disappointing and frustrating experience for average and overpriced food

    Lovely meal on Sunday afternoon. Delicious food with a choice of either Sunday Roast or the main menu. Great starters...gorgeous main meal. Large portions, so no room for a pudding. Friendly, helpful staff and great service.

    I would recommend the Dun Cow with several reservations: My friend and I, both over eighty and one with mobility difficulties and despite having booked a table, were shown to a small table beside the hearth with a very dangerous corner stone, at the furthest point from the main entrance, where we tolerated an extremely loud family and a screaming child. We by-passed a table in the first room which we wrongly thought was for us as it had a reserved notice on it. What a shame, it would have made the whole Dun Cow experience much more enjoyable had we been given that table!

    We have used the restaurant about 12 moths a go and the service and the quality of food is 100% better. We would recommend to family and friend.

    Meal took an hour to arrive. At the last minute we were told one of our meal choices was unavailable. The burgers were burnt and the chips cold. I was very disappointed

    Their Excellent Level of Table Service simply matches my expectations and adds immensely to the overall experience. Food portions were very good and cooked to perfection and served with a huge smile with every plate.

    Had a booking at 6.30, Waited 1hr 32mins at least for food to arrive. we chased it up as tables around us that came after all had their food and some. Had even finished and onto dessert, when it came out all sweet potato fries were burnt and hard (havre photos to prove) (with added 50p each dish) we mentioned to the waitress but was still charged for them. Staff are nice and helpful but food was dry, warm and burnt. Clearly forgot about us.
