Reviews for The Spotted Cow
Tony Jones
Went there for a catch-up with good friends before a funeral. Booked for a large group. The seating area was great, spacious comfortable. The food was excellent and served promptly. My only criticism was that they were badly understaffed to begin with. Actually, I couldn't even find someone to pour me a beer in the first 10 mins. However, things did improve as we went along. All in all, a great spot for lunch with friends.

Greatest tavern food we've had in ages. Every detail of these two basic meals (parmi and fish and chips) was done to perfection. Brilliant cooking with fresh salad ingredients, very generous serves and excellent table service.

Restaurant Review We’ve been loyal customers of this restaurant for years and have consistently sung its praises, but after our most recent visit, we are deeply disappointed. Sadly, the experience left much to be desired, both in terms of food quality and atmosphere. The meal itself was a letdown. I ordered the roast lamb, which was nearly inedible—tough, dry, and tasting as though it had been prepared far in advance. The accompanying vegetables were gritty, suggesting inadequate washing or preparation. Unfortunately, the consequences of the meal extended beyond mere dissatisfaction; I suffered severe food poisoning shortly afterward, making me question the hygiene and freshness of the ingredients. The atmosphere of the restaurant was equally troubling. While it’s understandable that new staff need to be trained, the way this was handled was highly unprofessional. Experienced staff openly criticized and humiliated the younger team members in full view of the customers, creating a tense and uncomfortable environment. This visit was not only disappointing but deeply disheartening, especially given our long-standing patronage and previous positive experiences. We sincerely hope the management takes these issues seriously and implements the necessary changes to restore the restaurant’s former quality and professionalism. Until then, we sadly cannot recommend it.

I’ve come to the Spotted Cow a couple of times since I read it’s under new ownership. Once for a function and once for dinner. Both experiences were excellent. I had no idea there was such a great function space upstairs. It has its own bar and the food was spot on. We then decided to come for dinner the following week as we live close by. The steak was perfectly cooked and the restaurant had great service as well. We’re so happy to have our local back.

Taking a long time for seating, ordering and getting food. Ordered kids meal for my daughter but just got ice cream without topping even on the menu said it served with choice of topping. Staff wasn't friendly at all.
