Won’t bother again.
Shame as we have been many times before and have been greeted and the staff have been welcoming.

  4 of us went last night for a meal at The Spotted Cow and we were told there would be live music during the evening.The meals we all had were... read more super,hot,full of flavour and the staff were all lovely. The food in a good price and a good menu to choose from. The band playing was good but far,far too loud for the room and you couldn't even talk to staff let alone the friends we were with. We would return for another meal if there were no live music playing.

  The Spotted Cow is a community run pub which runs alongside a cafe and post office. At first site it's not clear whether it is actually a pub but on... read more closer inspection the cask marque signs confirm the pub status. The pub has a large car park and the venue is very well presented, clean with plenty of space and tables. The was a large selection of real ales but for some reason there were three foreign lagers but no traditional lager such as Fosters, Carling or Carlsberg which was very strange for a Free House. The food menu was varied with something for everyone and the staff were very friendly and efficient. The prices provided excellent value for money. I would strongly recommend a visit to the Spotted Cow.

  We dropped in for a drink but stayed for food in the end. The food was freshly cooked, still hot, and very tasty.

  Went in as a group of 8, four being kids, for Sunday lunch. First of all it's nicely decorated, clean, and welcoming. It was great they had some board games... read more and books for the kids. It was 2.30 and they'd run out of 2 of the 4 roast options which was a shame but shows they were busy. Had the roast pork and the meal was lovely. Nice veg options and plentiful. One gripe would be it could've been warmer. There were a couple of options other than roast which was good for the kids. What I did like is that one of the kids meals came with the same veg so wasn't all chips. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back!

  It’s lovely to find such a relaxing village pub. The garden out front is great, can sit on the grass with the dogs and watch the village life go by.... read more Of course, that’s in the summer on the warm evenings or during a sunny day. If it’s cooler or wetter then inside is just as welcoming, chilled out vibe. What ever the weather, this is the pub to visit. Thanks to the warm and friendly staff and the brilliant locals xxxx It’s a credit to the management team - well done to Cheryl and the “tall man” xxx

  Staying in Holbrook on holiday and this pub was was lovely selection of real ales and good food plus friendly staff what more could you ask for

  Went to spotted cow Friday night after completing village run. Wow. What a fantastic atmosphere. The staff worked tirelessly, professionally and patiently to serve the vast number of people that... read more descended on the pub. Yes it was busy and it took a bit longer than usual to get served but so what? The atmosphere was great and I am so pleased the pub was at the heart of it. The lamb curry was absolutely gorgeous as was my pint of ‘smiling assassin’ (very well kept, by the way). Karaoke at the back for the kids was a nice touch. Paul, Cheryl and their staff work tirelessly to make this pub work as well as it does; I recommend a visit whenever you are in this beautiful part of the world ( and yes I do live here so may be a bit bias in that bit of my review!)
