Had a lovely evening meal with 20 people. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Lovely pub food classics and the beer was excellent. Also have nice wines by the glass!
... read more /> Went again for lunch the day after. Sunny day in the beer garden with a lovely view. Lunch was superb. Would highly recommend calling in.

  We stayed in the guest room above the pub and loved it. Big car park, lovely pub downstairs with local ales and food. Staff were all perfect.

  Regularly visit the pub,the food is top notch and the staff are fantastic. Never eaten a bad meal here and the real ales are superb. Fantastic landlord and landlady who... read more have very friendly and enthusiastic staff. Keep it up, you're a real credit to the community.

  Possibly the worst lunch out ever.. Soup of the day was ‘French Onion Soup’, which was onions in a weak stock cube water thing. The bread was so mouldy it... read more had blue stuff all over it. No apology, no refund. I’m aware the managers are about to leave, let’s hope the next ones improve things. My advice.. reduce your extensive menu to one you can manage with the local produce you promise

  I've just spent 2 nights at the spotted cow and a cliché as it sounds, I haven't slept this well in months!

The room was cosy, well lit... read more and all required amenities were available, the shower was lovely etc etc.

But it's the extra touches where the spotted cow excels, the fridge in the room was furnished with fresh milk, on the table were small packets of cereal and for those of you who like a truly silent night, they even supplied ear plugs (individual packs).

Those staff on site were also great, after what feels like a lifetime in customer service, you tend to notice when someone is using the "false friendly" approach, I didn't get that sense at all from Roxanne and Mike, very friendly, very helpful and just so charming, they really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

In short, they made us feel welcome and cared for during these unprecedented times and I can't thank them enough for the hospitality.

While staying there we also went into the bar for a meal, I'm a person with a healthy appetite but the food here defeated me, cooked as requested and delivered in a timely manner from friendly waitstaff, in a very warm, relaxed atmosphere, I felt guilty for actually leaving anything on the plate (the mushroom ciabatta starter was too die for).

If you happen to be in the area, consider staying here, if you're not in the area? Make the trip, it's worth it. Roxanne and Mike will make sure you have a great stay.

  Called in for a pint. Chap behind the bar offered no welcome or pleasantries despite us trying to make small talk with him. The pub was quiet ish, but he... read more couldn’t be bothered to try and make us feel welcome or be grateful that we were spending money.
Won’t bother again.
Shame as we have been many times before and have been greeted and the staff have been welcoming.

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

  A brilliant local. So lucky to have on my doorstep. Great range of beers. Staff super friendly. Dogs welcome which is just as well ❤️

  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.

  My wife, son, his partner and I have just had a meal in this delightful pub. The food was first class and very reasonably priced.

Lovely to see... read more a really successful community owned pub.

  We had a fantastic meal in this wonderful pub.
The young lady behind the bar was lovely and chatty we got a very warm welcome.
The pub itself oozes old... read more world charm whilst still has a large TV to watch sporting events.
Our meal was excellent. There were specials on the board and the normal menu.
My husband had the best pie he had ever had and trust me he is an expert. Huge chunks of steak in a rich ale gravy with lovely homemade pastry. The beef was melt in the mouth tender this was £9.95 This was served with chips and veg . I had an amazing burger at £8.95 Lovely and moist with plenty of flavour. This was served with an onion ring, homemade coleslaw and chips. I chose to pay a £1 extra for stilton.
The only way to improve would be to serve homemade chips rather than frozen, but this does not stop it getting top marks.

  The new Manager took over about a week before lockdown, so unlucky, but she and the team have done a cracking job on the reopening. I've never seen the pub... read more so spotless and the social distancing measures are excellent and enforced in a friendly way. Food was as delicious as ever, really good value and the team coping well with new restrictions ans still managing to smile. Well done and thank you!
