A pleasant first experience despite the busyness of the venue, staff took my partner's allergies into account when food was ordered and the drinks were lovely and refreshing.. food ordered were onion fries, battered prawns, ultimate burger and apple pie. Drinks were two mocktails. Would probably visit again but in a quieter period as even with noise cancelling headphones on it was still quite loud.
Please don’t order the loaded chips. £4.50 for a tiny bowl of french fries and a bit of sauce on top. Very disappointing for the price. They came luke warm at most. I could have justified the price if they were freshly made like other pubs serve, but they weren’t.
Brown Cow Restaurant is a gem! The food is fresh and flavorful, portions are generous, and the staff is warm and welcoming. A cozy spot with great value—definitely worth visiting!
Dropped in on a Saturday morning after doing a walk around Templenewsham park before it got too hot. They had just opened and I asked if they did breakfast which they did , but only on a weekend . My wife ordered the Breakfast bap which was packed with piping8 hot tasty ingredients. I had the Classic Full English which was just as tasty and piping hot and fresh. Very reasonably priced too .
Having visiting previously on a weekday and being impressed with the food we decided to have a Sunday lunch. The roast dinners were okay but not exactly generous and not hot enough. They seemed to have been warmed up and we had to ask for extra gravy. The waiter we had was helpful and polite but seemed stressed. We decided we would return but not on a Sunday.
