Christmas is better with the people you love around one table. No washing up, no stress, just a proper festive meal and time together. We'll look after everything else.

First visit to the Red Cow and it didn't disappoint. Pre booked a table for 4. Quick service for food and drinks and a nice menu choice including for vegetarian. Food was very tasty and decent sized portions.
Enjoyed it so much we have booked a family Christmas lunch there a couple of weeks before Christmas.
We made a stopover for lunch at The Red Cow. It is a true gem and a proper gastropub with delicious food. One of the best lunch experiences we had recently. There were also great options for kids and overall food was fantastic.
I'd like to visit again when we are in the area.
I came with my family who travelled from Italy to visit and was not sure which pub to take them too. This place was an absolutely gorgeous restaurant with picturesque views, delicious food with kind and genuine service.
Even the locals were friendly! The camembert cheese and fish and chips were my favourite.
