We were delighted with the choice and quality of real ales at The Spotted Cow, then the food was also amazing - delicious and beauifully cooked with fresh local produce.... read more It's a lovely building too, and has a fine garden to enjoy the views from. The staff were also wonderful with a friendly warm welcome, making even more of a difference while we're all following current guidelines carefully! thank you!

  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.

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

  Excellent service and choice of ales. Real fire log burner and good pub food. All you can ask for in a pub. Would recommend the community café Spotted Calf next... read more door for breakfast too!

  This is a great community owned pub. The food is basic, but very good. I had the best burger ever, and I am not a fan of burgers. Everything is... read more either home made or locally sourced.

  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!

  Looking tired!
Having been visiting this village pub since it’s reopening it is sad to see how tired the place is looking. The windows need updating and the ‘shabby chic’... read more look is now looking tatty.
I seriously doubt a wheelchair got fit into the disabled toilet and it must be the only loo that you can dry your hands whilst sitting on the toilet, before you wash your hands!
The committee who run the place need to look at these things as I for one will not be returning!

  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

  Love this pub ! The atmosphere and the people x my husband and I are local and drop in for a few drinks when we are not at work x... read more we always get a warm welcome x especially our dogs who drag us in when we walk past knowing that a gravy bone treat awaits them from Paul or Cheryl . My husband loves the pedigree and I love the cider . So win win for us all .

  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!)

  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.

  Excellent food, drinks choice and service from the staff. Felt comfortable and safe with the social distancing guidelines and all things considered the pub is doing fantastic. Excellent service from... read more my waitress holly who was very attentive and polite. Definitely will be returning
