Dun Cow in Cheshire East

Lovely food . But the place was cold

Lovely. Wholesome food, but also some more adventurous stuff. Good value. Lovely country pub feel

Second visit, this time on a Saturday night. Popular place with great atmosphere. Good variety of food available. 4th visit for a Sunday afternoon family party. Best roast beef dinner ever said my wife. Very friendly staff.

Dined here at the start of 2025 - absolutely delicious seasonal menu, lovely service. Make sure you dine here before their chef gets poached by a much more expensive restaurant, they're immensely talented. It is a pub that welcomes families, so dine later if you find loud children an irritant.

We had an excellent meal today.

Came here for a Sunday roast and catch up with a friend. Food lovely and staff v friendly . Atmosphere jolly but very busy and very loud people ! Maybe the ladies toilet could do with a bit of a refresh ?

A lovely Cheshire pub - We had a super lunch here and the atmosphere is lovely - 👍🙏

Excellent country pub and a lovely outdoors sitting area. Inside it’s comfortable and cosy with lots of interest. Staff are so polite, friendly, and professional. Excellent food menu and drinks at the bar. I will definitely recommended the Dun Cow in Knutford. Nigel.

The food was outstanding. We didn't need to pre-order for Christmas Day meal. We had around 5 or 6 choices for Starter Main and Dessert. All looks amazing. The food was hot and delicious. The staff worked so hard and attentive to our needs. We even got a bottle of wine to take home for free! We will return again.

Cozy vibes Friendly and the staff were great! Can’t wait to go back 😊

Saturday Dinner with friends, with a warm greeting and excellent service throughout. I chose the ' seasonal ' Turkey delicious, roast potatoes superb, piping hot. Friend had the ' burger ' which came out tops. We could not manage dessert !!! A good bottle of Pino Grigio.

A lovely late lunch after visiting Tatton Park Christmas event. Hadn't booked but every effort was made to fit us in. So glad they did, awesome meal, absolutely loved it - the Cranberry & lentil bake with festive vegetables 😋 was amazing. X

There's a reason we keep returning. The fish and chips and seafood pasta are highly recommended. Staff are also highly attentive and will do most dishes as a smaller portion of you ask.

WORLDS BEST PUB AND THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS 😋 ME AND MY DAD VIST MOST SUNDAYS FOR FOR SUNDAY LUNCH!! NEVER COME OUT HUNGRY!!! HA!! HA!!

Lovely food. Very fast service. Alll staffs are very welcoming and helpful. Definitely we will visit again.

Had a lovely meal here after visiting Tatton Park with my wife and son. We all enjoyed our meals, which was of a high standard. The Steak and Ale pie melted in the mouth it was that tender and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I would recommend and will be visiting again.

Came in for an early dinner, the place was quiet and getting a table was no problem, around 18:30. I had the steak pie with chips and veg. The pie was very good and the chips and veg were fresh. Great service from the staff.

Very friendly staff, no frills high quality food, and dog friendly. Recommend!

Nice restaurant, we enjoyed the ambiance and the food. the service was great so was the food. For sure will go back. Reservations seem to be a good idea

Very nice lunch, good service and generous portions of good food. Very busy, so worth booking in advance. Nice to see dogs welcome!

Lovely meal homecooked chips with cheese and onion pie . Yum

Excellent food and drink Friendly staff, pleasant surroundings Dog friendly Been several times and would most certainly recommend 👍

We called in here on our way to Jodrell Bank on a Sunday teatime. What a gem of a pub. Very busy but food and service was excellent.

Table booked last night for 6 and a dog beautiful food and atmosphere staff were fantastic definitely be calling again

We stayed overnight in our motorhome. A lovely welcome by the owners, great service and the food was fantastic. Thank you very much. Would highly recommend.

We often meet for lunch at The Dun Cow, there is a good choice of menu and we have always enjoyed the food there very much. Service is good and staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a large car park on site.

Was disappointed with the few mushrooms in the stroganoff ,did mention to the landlord but apparently the mushrooms are portioned out !! ( really!) shame as been a regular!

All ways consistent and a good size portion, Curtis will look after you,

We came here after an afternoon at Seven Sisters Farm, super kind and friendly staff, we sat outside in the lovely patio area. Enjoyed the chicken burger and the kids fish fingers meal was huge! Lovely meal and surroundings, thank you!

Nice place good food. Friendly welcome. Not much beer choice, bu ok. Bit pricey.

Consistently great service and food, we have been many a time and haven't been let down. Definitely recommend the Sunday lunch 👌🏻

Fab country pub peaceful setting and a lovely outdoors sitting area. Inside it’s comfortable and cosy with lots of interest. Range of drinks food menu and lots around recommended

Meals were all lovely - fast friendly service and dog friendly

Stopped on spec and was able to have an evening meal today No problem fitting us in and accepted my wife in a mobility scooter with no hesitation Food good , fresh and sufficient in quantity Staff attentive but not pushy Well worth a stop

Absolutely delicious haddock risotto. Loved it.

We had a 'Pub Stop Over' in our motorhome coming home from the Twinwood Festival. The staff are wonderful and the food amazing. We were feeling sad that our weekend was over but the welcome, food and ambience of The Dun Cow made us feel that we were still in the holiday vibe.

Fantastic menu good quality food. Friendly staff

Very warm reception, lovely atmosphere, attentive service and lovely food. Would recommend.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and the Staff are so helpful and friendly. Dog friendly 😉

Lovely staff and friendly service well priced food will call again soon xox

Great evening shared with friends here. Delicious food and attention to detail with the food counts!! A rare quality these days. Diligent table service warm welcome for us and the doggy. A great visit will be back. Thanks

First time there Won’t be the last Can’t really fault anything can we ??

The Dun Cow offers an amazing menu every day of the week, catering for all. We love to go out for Sunday lunch but so often you can only get a Sunday Dinner, which we don't want. The Dun Cow serves an excellent selection of sandwiches, served with a delicious side salad and chips. They do serve wonderful roast dinners as well, if that's what you like. The staff are always so welcoming and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The roaring fires in winter make it warm and welcoming, whilst the lovely outside seating area is great for sunny days. We'll be back.

First time here. Was met by a friendly guy who i assume is the manager who found us a nice table. It’s a Beautifully decorated pub, modern but with an old world charm. The Service was spot on with at least 3 waitresses and the manager all very friendly, attentive and helpful. I had Lamb Henry and the wife a huge fish with chips. The food was really tasty and the best pub grub I've had for some time. I also had several ales which were excellent. We Will definitely return, can’t fault it. 5/5

We didn't have any food this time, just called in for a drink on our way home to Blackpool. It's a lovely place inside, and all the Staff were very smart and efficient. We will definitely be back for a meal with you. Thank you

Mahoosive steak cooked perfectly 😁 lovely friendly staff and great service ...recommended 👍

Brilliant staff and excellent foods

It's the responsibility of the restaurant to provide a service if they accept a booking, sadly very poor service and disappointing food for our family gathering and blamed on a busy local event. Yes they gave us a discount but we would have preferred the dinner and service

Our first time at the Dun Cow, Lovely food good service and friendly atmosphere would recommend. We had 2 little dogs with us.

It was a good food. Good Atmosphere. Good customer service

Fabulous evening with relaxed atmosphere. Menu and food was delicious and plentiful. We couldn’t fault the service, location or price. We will definitely enjoy more meals and drinks in the future.

Great hospitality and super friendly staff

Beautiful food every time we visit the Dun Cow! Really nice friendly staff Service spot on This time we had lamb roast, perfect! Sticky toffee pudding amazing too !

Popped in for a spot of Lunch on Monday. Warm welcome and great service throughout. Excellent food and would highly recommend a visit.

Went to a 90th birthday party and managed to sit outside until 7pm. The buffet was excellent, and the landlord and staff really looked after us. A very pleasant early doors.

We stopped here on the way back after a wasted trip up North to buy a bike, as an alternative to motorway services. Very dog friendly, both the landlady and landlord came over, fussed our dog and chatted with us. Well trained staff and the food and drink were excellent. Don’t often head that way but would be happy to use again in the future. Thanks :)

Such a nice place to go place after work.

Nice country pub in Ollerton decent beer garden and a good sized carpark. Tasty food and good service.

Great pub extremely helpful staff. The food was fab, and the staff were cheery and friendly. I would definitely recommend going.

Lovely setting just a few miles outside Knutsford. We're to big eaters so I ordered a starter for a main and my wife small fit and chips. I had chicken wings which I felt overdone.I thought they were good value but only ate half and asked to take home what I left..They came wrapped in foil, not big deal but I probably expected a small container as in other places.My Wife thought the chips were overcooked, but I thought they were great. Driven passed its to times and its easy to park with lots of outdoor space for warm weather. Not sure well return.

I have eaten here before with my colleagues and service and food were excellent. Today I had a lovely meal with my husband service and food were excellent we had good portion sizes and it was well worth the money.

Visited this place on Sunday with my son having booked at the last minute. Arrived a bit early but was given a table immediately. Came to take drinks order as soon as we sat down. Starter arrived quickly followed by Sunday roast mains, lamb and beef. All the food we ordered was excellent, hot and fresh. Very impressed and not sure why I haven't been to this place before when it is fairly local. Definitely be going again and would highly recommend.

Lovely food and great bar. We had the steak and ale pie which was delicious, very filling and the gravy is tasty, more please. 😋

Food was very fantastic. Lovely atmosphere.

Traditional country pub, steak pie was great, big portion.

Old country pub on a sharp bend in the road, close to Knutsford. It';s a Robinsons pub so you might like their beer you might not (Hopnik is about the best IMO), but the food is the real draw here. My steak pie was proper (as in, not a dish of casserole with a lid), loads of lovely tender & tasty meat, good chips and particularly good veg cooked properly (as in, not much). One of the best pub meals I've had in a while.

Steak and ale pie fantastic, great portions and food hot

Always great food and atmosphere when we come along for a family meal. All the staff are great with kids and adults alike and nothing is ever too much

Called in for a pint. Nice pub. Didn’t eat.

Excellent food and nice choices of guest ales and a good beer garden and staff helpful

Lovely place, Landlord was very welcoming, service was great, food was amazing. Steak & Ale pie! Will be back again soon, for more pie!

Just popped in for a couple of pints with some of the local cricket team when the game was rained off.

Excellent service and very comfortable facility. Highly recommended

Lovely country pub with a nice big car park, food was beautiful, staff were lovely and friendly.

Had a lovely roast lamb dinner. Partner had the gammon. Both were delicious. Service and staff friendly as always

Came on a Sunday and disappointed at some of the food. For starters we had 3 pieces of rubber calamari for £10!! Shocking portion for the price. Scampi and chips was lovely. But someone had to Greek salad, which it wasn’t. Iceberg lettuce a couple of tomatoes a couple of olives and a bit of crumbled feta. Very disappointed that they called it a Greek salad. And tiny portion and dribble of dressing.

Friendly and efficient service, good menu choices including decent specials. Nice atmosphere and surroundings - most enjoyable!

Stayed overnight in camper-van on car park. The car park was not tarmac but was level. The staff were friendly and attentive. Good menu, reasonably priced. Had a lovely meal with decent portions. Some seating inside by a lovely open fire. Good atmosphere. Well worth returning to.

We had a really lovely meal. Freshly prepared and cooked. The cheese and biscuits were great and even provided a doggy bag as too much to eat! We stayed on the car park in our campervan and couldn't have been made welcome. Thankyou to Curtis and all your team.

We were here for celebration of my husband's 80th birthday - 7 members of family. Very good service and care, and excellent food. The staff couldn't do enough for us, and this included lighting the candles on our cake and serving it up instead of dessert. Our plates were so full of the main course, no dessert could have been fitted in after! We'd had generous portions of various items on the menu and all beautifully cooked and served. Thank you to the staff for making it a memorable lunch, and we will certainly return. Can recommend.

We met a friend for lunch. We all had different meals that were lovely. The steak pie was out of this world. Everyone friendly apart from one lady who was efficient but not very pleasant. However ghe whole experience was great. My crumble and custard not the best but the waffle and ice cream was good. Would go again if only for the steak pie.

Have heard about the Dun Cow but this was my first visit and I wasn't disappointed. Lovely inside. Staff were really friendly. Had the steak pie and i can honestly say it was the best steak pie I had ever had. Would definitely go again and recommend others to go. For those of you that love a Sunday Roast they also offer a Roast every day of the week.

The food was fantastic. The service was excellent. Price and value was good. You get what you pay for. And must say they have got it right . Well done will definitely be returning.

Great local pub with cosy friendly atmosphere

What a great pub. We went today for lunch, just the two of us. Great service, cozy atmosphere and the food was excellent. We will definitely be back. Thanks guys 😊😊

Another amazing visit to the Dun Cow. My mums 80th birthday celebration with 9 of us! My mum has dementia and the team were fantastic with her. The food and service were outstanding! Something for everyone. Traditional pub Fayre and some lovely specials. My wife loved the bouillabaisse!

We enjoyed a lovely meal and very friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us.

Nice place. Food quality is above normal for a pub. Prices slightly higher than others.

As usual friendly and good service Husband favourite lamb Henry and I love the chicken Would highly recommend

Enjoyable lunch, the staff were lovely, worth a visit, book in advance

Went on mothers day with partner and mum, gorgeous food.and very well priced Will return again soon

We needed somewhere to eat on our way back home from the RHS Bridgewater as the food on offer there at lunch was not considered fulfilling for us. We drove past the Dun Cow as it was on a corner and cars were close behind to allow us to slow down and turn into the car park, so we continued until we could turn round, we past a garden centre down the road and thought we would try that instead. But our instincts said return to the Dun Cow. We are so pleased we did. It was late in the afternoon and not sure if they would be serving food, but to our delight they were. We were shown to a table, it was quite busy even then, so that speaks volumes. My wife ordered the Breast of Chicken, and I ordered the Pork Loins. The wait for the food was well worth it. The food was amazing, it was well presented and tasty. The price was reasonable too. The staff were very friendly. And the pub was well kept. Compliments to the Chef too. Well done team. If we are in the area again, we will certainly be back.

We went for dinner with 6. Never been before but driven by many times. When we arrived our table was not ready and we were slightly shoved in the corner, but we were soon taken to our table. Great choice on the menu, well cooked food, friendly warm service and good prices. Couldn’t ask for more - we will be back

Sunday roast was great. Staff were really helpful.

The Dun Cow well what can i say it was brilliant and will go again and i will recommend it to all my friends .

Excellent gastro pub, menu and service never fails to deliver. Had a lovely dish of the specials board Panko chicken with Katso curry. Staff friendly, attentive and helpful.

Dreadful food, poor presentation and terrible service

Had a lovely meal, also had one of my favourite ciders and my favourite ice cream Cheshire farms, What more do you need, Very good service from the staff

Called after a wet dog walk after work greeted by the manager who was very attentive got us a lovely seat next to a roaring fire, really nice environment with great staff who really make you feel welcome. Lovely old vintage warm pub didn’t eat but the food smelt and looked amazing.

First time to this lovely Cheshire pub. Everything was perfect; superb food, warm and efficient service and fairly priced. Started with mushrooms on ciabatta - lovely taste. Followed by cheese and onion pie with chips and veg. Best pie ever. Chips done perfectly and hot. Veg fresh and cooked beautifully. Will definitely be returning.
