My family, friends and I love The Brown Cow. It's cosy, comfortable and relaxed. We've always found the food delicious and enjoy the lovely homemade mocktails. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and deliver a professional and efficient service.

I am a regular here for lunch.
Friendly service, wide choice of food plus specials.
Excellent full range of Taylor's Ales.
Sandwich fillings becoming a little sparse, but enjoyable enough food overall and the truffle flavoured fries are particularly good.

The Sunday dinners used to be great at the Brown Cow I haven’t been in several years - however now the two slices of wafer thin beef doesn’t cut it - I’ll pass going forward. Others had great food who didn’t order the Sunday dinner thpugh

It was a bank holiday so the restaurant was fairly busy . Our table was booked for 2.30 and the meal wasn’t served until almost 3.30.I ordered the same meal as last time I visited about 3 weeks ago but it wasn’t to the same standard, possibly a new chef?

First time lunch with friends.
Even though there was a fire, the restaurant was quite cold. Quite a few people ate with their coats on. The food was good and worth the 25 minutes wait. May come back in warmer weather!

There were a few problems - our drinks order was taken but unfortunately was somehow lost so after 15 minutes we had to ask for them again. Main meals took quite a long time to arrive and unfortunately one of them didn’t arrive until the rest of us were half way through eating - and we had to enquire where it was. A further drinks order was incorrect with one drink missing. Food was good and the staff were friendly - it was a shame it was just slightly let down by disjointed service issues.

Didn't enjoy the experience at all. The room was freezing cold so not comfortable. The fish finger sandwich was 2 tiny pieces of cold battered fish in 2 small ovals of rock hard bread on an unhygienic wooden platter with a mound of oily green leaves to make it look bigger! Our friends loaded fries were soggy and unappealing and he left most of it. Over £3 for a Pepsi which was 60% ice. When I told the waitress the fish was cold she just shrugged and when our friend commented on the quality of the conjealed fries she just said he should have put sauce on. Overpriced and unappetising.
