What Albín Pašek likes about The Spotted Cow:
Walked up to the pub this afternoon despite the windy weather. It was quite busy but very comfortable in the bar near the log burner. Ordered the shared hog platter to go with a couple of drinks. Very nice. As it’s a country pub, lots...of people bringing in dogs which can be a little noisy, not a problem for us. As we left I fussed a couple of mini dashies, beautiful View all feedback. What Charlie Turner doesn't like about The Spotted Cow:
Only got as the screen on my phone is faulty! And I can’t press where the 0 stars is situated! Glass of mediocre wine over “Do you still do the small bottles of milk for kids” “Yes” replied the pleasant!! Chap behind the...bar” Before pouring glasses out of a four pint carton! each!! A lime and soda too! “That will be sixteen pounds fifty please!!’ We did get the smell of dogs and the obligatory dog hair in the glass... View all feedback.

The Spotted Cow has recently undergone changes with a new pub company taking over, setting high expectations. However, some diners have reported disappointment in the food quality, service, and communication. On the other hand, there are positive reviews praising the gluten-free options, friendly staff, delicious meals, and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, The Spotted Cow seems to be on a journey of improvement, with mixed reviews but potential for a great dining experience.
