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.

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

  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

  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

  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!)

  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!

  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.

  Love this pub !

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

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.
