Great local pub/diner. Great portion sizes ,honest food. Excellent value.
The meal was very nice indeed and will definitely visit again!
Great food and lovely staff ,only drawback was the decor, bit tatty and lacked atmosphere for such a lovely old pub
First time visiting the spotted cow for food. It was delicious especially the soup of day which was mushroom and tarragon and we left satisfied and full.
Our first visit excellent service and food will be back
Food was disappointing ,service good ,will give it another try, but not for a Sunday roast
It was our first time eating inside a pub since easing of restrictions. We felt very comfortable and safe . The staff were friendly and the food really lovely .Looking forward to going back .
Food ok service slow as always but nice to be out and about.
Great atmosphere good food with large portions covid precautions in place
Great food lovely friendly service, so lucky to have this as a local.
Lovely to be back in the pub again and having a great meal. Only small criticism was the turkey was overly dry but everything else was lovely.
This is a great place for a lunch made so welcome
Great thank you. Certainly cannot complain about the amount of food!!!
The food was excellent. Service very slow, took nearly 30 minutes to get the bill.
I ordered Sussex smokey as recommended by a friend and it was delicious and very filling.
Very nice, first time out since lock down thank you
Camembert starter excellent. Burger not so good. Crayfish and prawn salad lacked dressing.
Wonderful food and lovely staff. Very lucky to have this pub on our doorstep.
All went well although a little challenging for slightly disabled people from the car park no disabled parking bays
Food good staff friendly. Only draw back the steps up to the restaurant were to steep for one of our party to manage.
Lovely food, shame about the wait, food took to long to come
Food was lovely but there were a couple of options unavailable and only 1 vegetarian option
Excellent in all ways thank you very much for food and beer and service
It was disappointed, as the food was below average, and the atmosphere was bad.
Perfect Christmas menu. High reccomended. Kids menu fab. Beers so so.
We clearly went at the wrong time of the year (as we have had really good meals here in the past). The meals were greasy and basic with little choice. The vegetarian meals were the best option and tasty but the fish and the chips and hash brownies really not good at all....And with the drinks all was expensive for what we got.
Very welcoming staff. Food was lovely, especially the roast. Great place for 3 generations to meet and share a post Christmas meal.
We been there ones before. We came back because food and hospitality is amazing. Our little 4yo got the fish goujons with chips and beans. Me duck patè as starter and turkey Christmas Roast with a pinot noir from Romania. My husband Guinea Fowl with veg and mash. Brownies for dessert. What to said: just always so tasty that we cannot reccommend enough. Perfect home feeling atmospher.
all agreed it was good the manager was attentive and very pleasant
Lovely roast turkey from the Festive lunch menu, in a lovely setting with good service (although we wanted the bill sooner). They were kind enough to make a special plate for my autistic godson who only eats chicken, too (we pretended turkey was chicken). I always feel, though, that the desserts are a little overpriced. But everything is delicious so I can forgive them. Easy to recommend.
Staff were fantastic from starting an enquiry to paying the bill and the food was good too.. definitely recommend
Lovely sunday lunch with plenty of food and good service.
Booked for Sunday lunch with my 94yr mother at 13:45 and found there were no Sunday roast meals remaining. Vegetarian but roast extremely poor and remaining menu options poor. Will not be back.
It was average. Waited ages for our drinks to come. Food was trying to be cotempory but bland and only just warm. Sunday lunch would have been better if a traditional roast
Very good but a little cool on a very wet day
Great Sunday Lunch. The service was friendly. It was a shame the Roast Pork did not offer Roast Potatoes. Which was extremely odd ?????????? As our son prefers that option it’s unlikely we’ll return. As our son prefers this option it’s unlikely we’ll return
Perfect meal out with husband and 4 yo daughter. I had a “pie of the day”: Lamb apricot and date pie, with mash potatoes and cabbage. They had burger with chips. Everything absolutely delicious. The restaurant part was very clean and dust-free, with no too many decorations but well kept.. Service fast and staff very friendly. We will came back, for sure!
Spotted Cow has, unfortunately gone down-hill in all respects from food to atmosphere. Menu choice very poor with just one vegetarian option.
Just ok. Had dinner in the spotted cow last night. The restaurant was empty as if it was closed ??. The menu was very small & very limited but thought due to this the food would be excellent. Unfortunately the food was only just ok. We had 2 x fish & chips, burger & sausage with mash - although sausages were chipolatas...even deserts were not good. It was as if the food was all frozen and store bought ?Hmmm not impressed with the food that is most probably why no one else was eating there. My partner was then up most of the night with stomach pains. I wouldn’t recommend eating there & we won’t ever come back. Get the basics right
Have eaten here many times in the past and the menu selection has always seemed much bigger. There were a lot of heavy dishes on the menu but nothing really light. No specials either. Food was nice but a bit underwhelming- not up to the usual standard. Our waitress was lovely though!
