The Brown Cow in Lancaster

Lovely friendly city centre pub . Food really nice , home made , good choice .This is day time.--- If you want the night life then think it will be bouncing.

Always good x tasty food and good value

Absaloutely fantastic wee bar served with a smile

Nice pub. Home cooked meat pie was tasty. Reasonable prices ( see menu pic )

We try to get in here when we visit Lancaster..great food and well kept cask ales ++++

Didn’t eat any food or try beer. ***NOT DOG FRIENDLY ***

We were recommended to come by friends. The first mouthful of real home made steak pie took me straight back to the wonderful meals of a lady we visited when I was a child. Fifty years rolled away in a mouthful. Delicious and lunchtime atmosphere is really nice.

Went in for lunch ,first time nice food good service and good staff

Beer good, the food was delicious 😋.

Had a lovely evening with family, the local DJ was in attendance.... with a good selection of old favourites, bar staff friendly and efficient and a prompt service.

Friendly staff, not many people in time we popped in Oct 27th 2024 It was all decorated up for Halloween 🎃.

Probably the best pint of Thwaites bitter in the area! Great pub food, brilliant, friendly staff!

Good little pub, good food at reasonable price

Usually me and my friend go to brown cow, I have autism so I always wear shorts due to sensory needs. I was wearing some long denim shorts today, like usual, and this time I wasn’t allowed in. This is only a bad review because it is completely ridiculous. I understand jogger shorts being tooo too casual but come on. Smart denim shorts should have been absolutely fine. I cannot wear trousers due to sensory problems. I should still be allowed to have a nice night out with my friend and not be discriminated against for something I cannot control. Every other time I’ve been fine so why now? Allow people with neuro disabilities to present how they’re most comfortable! I shouldn’t have to dress uncomfortable to be allowed to have a good night.

If I could give no starts I would. I’m a uni student and went on a Friday night as they were advertising karaoke so thought it would be fun. Was I wrong. As soon as we walk through the door a group of lads instantly start sexualising us and calling us like dogs. Upon entering we are unwelcome at the bar and are quickly told we need to order quick as they were “not a youth club” despite us entering seconds before hand. Before we could even get an order in a group of men are instantly harassing us trying to get closer and not leaving us alone. Whilst this is occurring I can hear the bar staff asking eachother when we were leaving and not being supportive at all as if we were the problem. If you’re a student and looking for somewhere to go on weekends I do not recommend this at all! If you want to feel sexualised and harrased by not only locals but also bar staff this is your place, however if you’re a student looking for a safe and supportive place to go I’d suggest the penny bank across the road!

Enjoyed drink and friendly atmosphere.

Food was ok bar staff not very accommodating my husband asked if he could have beans with his meal & pay the extra was told no it comes with chips & salad wont be going back

Lovely pub in centre of Lancaster amazing food and staff so friendly

Nice friendly spacious pub friendly bar staff decent town centre pub

Great simple pub food. Well priced and generous portions. Welcoming staff.

Fantastic food at good prices. The omelettes are the best I've ever had 😋

Unfortunately in our current economic climate, this pub is a great place to visit but struggles to stay open. It is a fun and quirky pub and I really enjoyed my visit.

The food here is delicious, and there is plenty to choose from. The only thing I think that would make the atmosphere a bit better would be some back ground music, but there is a duke box. We come quite often and it has become our first choice for somewhere to eat in Lancaster

Chose an omelette. Was lovely very tasty. Will highly recommend the food. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Lovely meal with the girls. Service was great. An enjoyable evening.

Food was fantastic and the staff were lovely.

Nice joyful environment and great customer service

Called in for a drink after being out for a meal Music playing and Dj Friendly pub and staff quick at serving Stayed till last orders

Well kept cask ale, generous portion on lunch menu but small plates available.

Nice place for lunch in the middle of town

Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere

Nice bar good selection of ales and lagers friendly bar good for live music on Fri sat.

Bit of a locals pub but not bad

Although kitchen shut due to illness, bar staff lovely and accommodating. Warm welcome on a cold day is much appreciated.

Never been on here before and am glad we finally did. Really nice. Friendly staff and nice beer. The building looks really old and I betbit has some history behind it. Another good place to visit in Lancaster

Great food as always and good drink nice little pub

Very poor, I visited the toilet, and returned to find that what’s left of my pint had been taken away , the lady being the bar was not interested I giving me a replacement, all sorted, eventually, thank you..

I learn so my new potential every day🤠🎶🎥🎧😇

Great Pup Grub at Very good Prices , Nothing To fancy the way Pubs should be ! ..Quick Service as well .

Very friendly cosy pub. We nipped in for lunch and had the homemade mushroom soup which was absolutely delicious, chunky and creamy it came with a sandwich of your choice from the menu. We did wait quite a long time for it to be served but it was worth the wait. An offer of 2 meals for £12 is really good value. Will go in again.

Lovely friendly pub great food great prices highly recommend if in area

Nice pub and good selection of Thwaites ales

Excellent pub the homemade food outstanding .

Well run town center pub. Great staff, free bacon butties on the day of the Queen's funeral.

Saturday night, a few 40 year olds looking for a friendly place to have a few beers. Stumbled across this place. Even had karaoke.

Great service, wish we had not eaten before we found this place, friendly, clean and good prices, food looked and smelled amazing.

I love this pub. They have karaoke on Fridays.

Lovely food and very well priced lovely and clean and friendly staff

Just had a great lunch, lovely food, and service at a good price. Will definitely return

Called in for lunch whilst on a visit to Lancaster. Very friendly staff. Good choice of food on offer and reasonably priced. We both enjoyed our meals in a nice comfortable atmosphere. If we are even in Lancaster again, would definitely call again.

Brilliant pub .very nice staff very clean and it gets very busy on a Saturday night 🍻 cheers

Warm welcoming staff and pub. Lovely home cooked menu. Somewhere you love going back too.

Very clean and tidy excellent beer

It is a nice pub. It was very quiet. When we went in . But it was a weekday .it was very clean.i wood go the again .

A very nice pub with food not on Sunday.

Great place the music was a bit loud but overall wholesome atmosphere

Nice bar busy with food service

Absolutely delicious food - lovely pleasant friendly staff and spotlessly clean - def worth a visit if your in Lancaster xx

Nice staff and very reasonable prices for drinks

I would probably give this pub zero stars if I could. So went a few weeks ago and my friend had her phone stolen….. staff weren’t interested or helpful at all 🤦‍♀️ Decided to try again last night and we had asked a group of disruptive lads to stop vaping in our faces and using a laser pen, turned nasty, we got kicked out and one of the doormen through my friend to the floor. Aggressive doormen and completely vile. Won’t ever go back there unless I am forced to with my job 🙄 Take my advice and don’t waste your time in there 👍

Nice pub friendly staff very quiet was only four of us in so last orders called 7.30 so had to move on

Came here for a quick drink and to meet some friends. We were there for no longer than ten minutes before we were asked if we were going to purchase any drinks (after already purchasing a drink) because "you can't sit in the establishment without purchasing drinks". We did absolutely nothing wrong but were made to feel unwelcome, so rushed to finish my drink before we left. Shame as have drank in here before and had no problems.

Lovely little friendly place with lovely food

Great beer!! And very polite staff!!

Saturday afternoon, busy but staff coped admirably, smiling all the way. Waited a while for food due to v busy period but soooooo worth the wait. Excellent food quality and presentation. Couldn't ask for more, will be returning. 💯 Thank you X

Seems nice enough, not a huge selection of beer. Nothing really to complain about (I did get asked for ID which I wasn't able to provide, but I see that as a good sign, means staff are paying attention) Seemed to be an issue with the music system. Staff were nice!

Hasn't changed in years , great staff, lovely food and a really good atmosphere

Delicious home made food for lunch. And good prices!

Food was absolutely gorgeous nice little pub with music in background good service happy helpful polite staff

Always lovely food and friendly staff

What great little pub, six of us sat down to a good choice menu and it did not disappoint, the food was excellent and served by staff who very helpful and friendly. We will most certainly be back. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and brilliant food. Second time being here and will definitely be back. 😁

Why are cows such great dancers? They have all the best moooves!

Been going here for years never changes

Wow fantastic place to eat drink and be a little merry. Staff are so helpful and couldn't do enough for us xx

Nice place for a pint with a friends and cheap.

Very freshly made and tasty meal

Should have drank the hand sanitizer. May have been better. Pleasant pub though.

Tempted in to this establishment by a board saying 2meals for a tenner ordered fish and chips twice expecting to have nice fresh fish instead what we got was something you'd by from Iceland freezer , it was ok but as I say would have preferred something freshly battered now for the pub itself it's clean and respectable modern decor and the staff very friendly

This pub is lovely friendly staff and food was lovely will definitely go again next time I am in Skipton.

Lovley friendly atmosphere will vist again soon

Friendly staff great food good value 👍
