The Smokey Cow

Fantastic food - really tasty and different from your typical restaurant. Staff were lovely and service was quick. The only slight downfall, was our table being positioned right by the kitchen - where the shouting of orders/slamming of plates on the metal surface was so loud we couldn’t hear each other’s conversation at times.

Fantastic food, nice people, a lovely place just a really nice experience 😁

Lovely Food, staff member was lovely and dealt extremely well with our big table, service was great. Throughly enjoyable !

1st time visitors on table 30, 100% recommending this place

Tasty food, I went with the veggi option jackfruit and beans mighty yummy snack. Assistant manager was serving that day, lovely chap happy too help.

A very nice meal and plenty of it. The band was excellent and staff friendly

Very welcoming. Great food. Slight mishap with bill which can be expected on NYE but managed really well. Highly recommended

A very good makeover of the seven stars. Fantastically helpful staff, good food & great service.

Fabulous meal and enjoyed by us all ! We ordered from the main menu but the Christmas menu food that was coming out of the kitchen looked wonderful. An extremely busy evening for the staff but all managed to stay smiling and always polite. Well done the smokey cow we will be returning

Generally very good for a new restaurant. Staff were attentive and thorough, atmosphere and setting were great but the food was very, very mixed with a huge range between barely edible (ribs and pie) and outstanding (chicken, roulade, any of the burgers). My suggestion would be to shrink the menu to concentrate on continuing the good things well. I'm sure we'll visit again if we're local.

A lovely evening... food great. One waitress needs to smile but apart from her lack of Christmas spirit then all was good. Singers were good, although a bit too loud for us to hear each other talk. Definitely be visiting again.

Wet gd was chilly and waitress found me a warmer table food and service very good enjoyed

Visited for my sons 18th Birthday meal, staff were lovely and food was excellent would definitely recommend and we will return.

Good beer, good food, good music (and not too loud), all lovely. Only negative was no brown bread today - otherwise everything was great!

Lovely decor. Friendly staff. Food a little disappointing. Drinks expensive

Food was delicious good portion sizes and well presented, great service staff very attentive.

Service a little slow, wrong starter mains delivered to table, had to ask for cutlery for each course, waitress not sure on food items when asked. The bill was wrong and took a while to sort. Food was nice and good value once charge correctly. Understand it’s newly opened so a few teething troubles, which I’m sure with extra training it will be sorted - will visit again in a few months to see if any better.

Fantastic refurb - you wouldn’t recognise the place. Food was excellent.

Very noisy, but perhaps we belong to a generation that likes it a bit quieter. The food however was so good and value for money. A good night

Sunday lunch smoked brisket was delicious will return again soon

Very noisy. Took a while to get served and the food was quite average unfortunately.

Very good food, friendly service with a smile. What is not to like?

Lovely decor. Waitress's skills were a little limited but everyone has to start somewhere. Food was mediocre.

Fantastic all round great place vegan menu great as well

The food was lovely and so was the service.It was very noisy with customers drinking at the bar, we were seated by the kitchen, was difficult to have a conversation at times because of the noise levels.

3rd time there now and cant fault it, Staff are great and chloe was our waitress and what a lovely pleasant young lady she is. We will definitely be back keep up the good work. Mr & mrs lloyd

Very nice food but very poor service from both waitresses.

Nice food great fish pie Great ribs my son had roast chicken dinner big portions witch was great

Great food and atmosphere. Will be back again!! Thank you.

Very enjoyable, food was excellent, the dining room can be a bit ' echoey' but we had a lovely evening. Will definitely be back x

Good food and good service, a really enjoyable evening. Thank you

The food wasn’t very hot and I didn’t consider it value for money (£13.95), such a small amount on the plate we had to ask for more veg. Only 2 roast potatoes isn’t enough on a Sunday lunch, the gravy hardly visible so asked for more and another small amount came, it’s not like it’s expensive to produce!

Not overly busy when we got there, but no one welcomed us. We had to stand waiting at the bar for quite a while. Although there were staff there, there was only one person who seemed to know what was going on, the rest were very young and inexperienced. The food was ok, I ordered potato skins and got one which was very tasty but surely that's a skin not skins. The wings were really good - though we ordered a large plate to share we had explained that one of our party didn't like blue cheese and we were told that wouldn't be an issue. When the wings arrived they were sitting in a puddle of blue cheese. We were asked if we minded the pie coming with gravy, we said no as long as there wasn't loads - it was smothered. Why not put it in a jug on the side and then you can put on as much or as little as you like? Plate of fresh veg consisted of rings of sweetcorn, frozen peas and carrots - not sure I would class those as fresh. Also found the atmosphere lacking, but that could be down to the day and time of our visit. I have been to other pubs in the chain and really enjoyed the experience, hence our visit. I shall go back to give it another try, but in my opinion it didn't feel as though it was quite ready to open for business.

We had a wonderful evening on our first visit . Really excellent food and service with great live music . I love the refurbishment of the old Seven Stars ... Well done guys !!!

Service was very slow. Tables too close together, waitress’s bottom in our face when dealing with the table next to us. Food was very good though.

Really enjoyed our evening at the Smokey Cow. as we were leaving a duo were setting up as our table was right next to the speakers e were very pleased we had eaten earlier.

Everything was great except my treacle tart was served cold with ice cream so wasn't as enjoyable than if it had been heated up.

Great atmosphere and excellent service, food not bad but equally not good so... average.

Good food staff very friendly and helpful I would definitely book again thank you.

Service and food excellent- will certainly visit again very soon
