The Dun Cow - Dunchurch

We had a lovely late lunch here today. It took us ages to choose food and drinks because all of the options sounded delicious. I highly recommend the house sodas. I went with passion fruit flavour. We had the chicken pie, beef brisket sandwich and children 's tomato penne. I 'm really impressed by how well accommodated our little boy (aged 15 months) was. The highchair was very secure and clean. The penne was half sized and cooked quite soft, there was a big enough portion to feed a child of around 8years in my opinion but definitely safe for a toddler to eat. They provided us with a separate cold plate so we could put some of his pasta and veggies on it to cool down to toddler safe temperatures. Our food was delicious, I especially liked the beef dripping sauce with my sandwich. I 'm sad we didn 't get to try any of the puddings but my child was at the limit of how long he can be quiet for and figured it would be inconsiderate to other diners if I subjected them to a shouting infant so I could get some cake. The decor is lovely and the staff were friendly. My husband informs me he took 4 previous partners here also so safe to say he gives it 5 stars and a will definitely come back sort of rating too.

The Dun Cow is a superb venue for many reasons. Named after a local myth the legend has it that the Dun Cow was a monstrous beast four yards high and six yards long which provided milk to the locals. A witch made it go murderous it rampaged until slain by Guy, Earl of Warwick.......so the story goes. Dunchurch the village, was once located at the crossroads of the coaching roads between London and Birmingham and Oxford and was for centuries an important staging post. At one point, there were no less than 27 coaching inns there to cater for all the travellers. Two of these still remain; the 'Dun Cow ' and 'The Green Man ' My two visits there were one just for drinks with my daughter in law, who introduced me to the place and then the following day for a solo lunch. I can 't complain about either event. The beers on both visits were in excellent condition well justifying the Cask Marque accreditation awarded and the day followings lunch not by reservation but was accommodated, despite being almost totally committed by those who had, sensibly, phoned ahead. The pan fried seabass fillet, king prawns, potatoes and samphire, was excellently presented, looked good and tasted as good as it looked. Compliments to the chef were forwarded. Definitely on my repeat visit list, the next time I travel up from Somerset.

Oops, that was the wrong review! This is the correct one: Our short break, staying and dining at the Duncow was excellent; comfortable, well appointed and spacious rooms. Spectacular service, both for evening meal (spent with family) and breakfast. I would highly recommend this venue for short breaks.

I hadn't been to the Dun Cow for a long time. Very good menu not just the standard pub fare and not too expensive. The place was nearly full and for a Wednesday lunchtime this speaks volumes. Staff were friendly and very helpful especially dealing with an allergy issue. Definitely recommended

That was our first to eat and drink in the dun cow pub. we went from the road to a very warm reception and sat immediately. the menu had a good selection of dips and my favorite pons from estrrella on tap our food was cooked to perfection and chips are amazing (triple fried) the jäger huh was served with delicious smoked gammon, very nice! service was exceptional, could not blame our waitress with our friends and family in the near future to this stunning pub. many thanks to brian pedley
