The Cow & Sow (Queen Square) in Bristol, City of

Amazing service from Hannah and Kayla. Very prompt with taking our order and great recommendations! Luke the assistant manager was very knowledgeable about what wines would suit our pallet and came through with the perfect bottle of red! Thank you so much! The kitchen staff perfected and defined every single dish with passion, flavour and presentation. We Will be back again with out hesitation! If I could give you 10 stars I would! Great team! Xx

I popped in on the off chance on a Monday evening and was lucky to get a table as it was really busy. I thought this a good sign and it was! The service was great and the food absolutely delicious - the rib-eye steak was to die for. This place is a good fine and I recommend it.

Amazing and sweet staff that saved the day! Much better service food and atmosphere than other nearby steak places. Will be back!

It was just an ok meal. Not outstanding, just average. The food wasn’t warm though, quite cold. Told the server didn’t want gravy poured over, and it was

Good place to eat, well located and friendly staff (shout out to Issy). Recommend the Pork Tomahawk.

Very good food but very little portion, we ordered 700g of meat but I think we had 300 or 400g and and 3-4 fries per person… However service and ambiance is great full

We went on Sunday night and while very tempted by the amazing roasts in sight, we just had to go with the steak. Excellent sauces and the hispi cabbage was excellent. Layla was a helpful and enthusiastic waitress and I hope to return.

From entering the restaurant to leaving the whole experience was 1st class. Matt our server was attentive, professional & informative without being pushy. The restaurants atmosphere made for a dining pleasure & the class of the place shows when you have Molten & Brown in your toilet. The food was outstanding and the chefs are a credit to you all. Whilst we were served by Matt, Tom was also busy with various other customer’s whom all appeared to be happy with everything like us. We would highly recommend a visit & I am sure you’ll return as will we. You just need to bring one to Nottingham.

Couldn’t recommend the Cow & Sow more. Our waitress Kayla was amazing, supper attentive and made our anniversary celebrations even more special. I’d highly recommend the burnt ends, bone marrow and the hispi cabbage. The Heaphy savvy b complimented our meal perfectly well. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want some delicious food, come to the cow & sow.

Fantastic members of staff. Food outstanding. Only disappointment was no burgers available at 6.30 pm and very limited steaks left

Exceptional steak eatery - the absolute best we have found in the area and simply not worth going elsewhere. A fantastic experience every time we visit - whether that’s just me and my wife or with our two children (age 10 and 13). The food, service, atmosphere are all spot on - our steak is always cooked exactly as we have asked. Wonderful dining experience.

One hell of a roast! Lovely food, really good service and a great setting. I've taken one star off atmosphere because the music choice was a little odd - it was slightly too loud and seemed to be the sort of music you'd expect in a very tense scene from a spy movie. It's also a shame the manager seemed to think it was appropriate to walk around in trainers and have air pods in while the rest of the staff were smart.

Outstanding evening as a first time visitor to Cow & Sow. Excellent service throughout from all staff and the food and drinks were worthy of praise. We’d originally planned to have dinner elsewhere but a story about steaks sparked an interest and prompted us to switch. Very glad we did and we’ll be back again

The food was great, however the service was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. Cannot fault the staff one little bit, at all. The male waiter and 'Lil Dusty' were exceptionally brilliant. I will be returning to the Cow & Sow again soon. Many thanks.

Amazing lunch at Cow & Sow. Prices of a mid-range chain but quality amazing 🤤 The pork belly starter was so tender and tasty, and the lunch steaks were delicious too! Tasty chips, tastyyyy wine and lovely staff. Served by Chloe, who was very helpful and lovely 😁

We had an excellent experience at Cow &Sow and Kayla our server was friendly, professional and a delight to talk to.

I booked this restaurant for my husband's birthday dinner. Arriving on time, we were asked to sit at the bar because our table wasn't ready. When we were seated (under 5 minutes) at the very back of the restaurant, we were extremely disappointed. The table was far too small for two people and wobbly. The distance to the next table was far too small. The Table was completely set and overloaded. The Front of the Restaurant is lovely and very welcoming, with every step further back it looses its character totally. We ordered a share platter as starter and it looked lovely presented and taste was very good. Then my husband opted for a tomahawk steak to share. However, they didn't have a cut suitable for two people, so we opted for the 1200g piece. The Steak wasn't shown to us before cooking and had already been cut from the bone and portioned. As a result, it was practically cold. With the Steak, we were able to order 2 sides. We went for chips and crispy onion blossom, both very nice. Disappointing, the very small portions off sauce. We ordered a garlic butter on top and were charged for it (looking through the review pics other people had a carafe and we got the same sauce portion as people with a 200 gr. steak, annoying). I would also like to mention that my husband received a glass of Prosecco for free as a birthday treat, and that was very thoughtful. Our waitress, Tiah, was nice but could have been a bit more attentive. In my opinion, there are much better steak restaurants in Birmingham. We won't be coming back.

Best steak we’ve both ever had - beautifully seasoned and cooked. Staff and manager so knowledgeable and helpful - Grace and Alina were terrific servers. Thank you

Amazing food and great service. We've found it hard recently to find decent impromptu eateries. This one ticked all the boxes. Simply outstanding. Thanks Mickela

Fantastic food. Chloe was a delight with great recommendations, humour, and taste in wine.

Mixed bag to be honest. The steak was serviced rather cold and under cooked the desert Tart Tatin was rather like a danish and very disappointing however the vegetables were fantastic. Maybe don’t book the last slot at night as that might have been the reason for the luck of attention from the staff.

Brilliant food! Steak was cooked to perfection!

We were served by Chloe and Jess, excellent service and delicious food.

Alina was a really great waitress - Such amazing and friendly service. Food was nice and atmosphere was good too. We came for a Sunday lunch!

Excellent service and great food, highly recommend the crispy onion blossom! We tried the steak, burger, chips and hassleback potatoes - all excellent. Seb looked after us very well, attentive service but not overbearing. Overall a great experience, we'll definitely come again.

First time just fancied a steak, absolutely top drawer steak, succulent and the deserts were to die for,very busy so book ahead great staff,highly recommended

Steak was great, medium rare was done just right! The atmosphere was spot on as well :-) Grace was attentive and always ensured we were well attended to. Perhaps it was the dinner crowd, thus our order was taken a tad late and food was served not as quickly as we thought it would be. Nonetheless, great place to enjoy a good dinner in Bristol!

Sides were a little slower than we would of liked but was lovely when they came Issy, Jess and Maya were lovely

Jess & Issy were amazing! Best meal we’ve had ♥️ had the best time, would deffo come back again and I know we’d enjoy every visit

Delicious food and attentive staff - Seb took good care of us :) only things I would change are that some of the tables are very close together and it can be hard to hear yourselves over the people next to you, and a wider choice of desserts would be nice.

Great food, great atmosphere and Alina our server was very a tentative. Will definitely be back!

Delicious steak and great service by Alina

Issy was wonderful and took great care ot us! Food was delicious and such a fab treat!

Had the fillet steak which was absolutely tiny and cost £33!! 😲 The onion blossom was great but the chips looked liked oven chips. The lack of size of the fillet steak was shocking and ruined the meal for me 😥

Me and my partner were here Tuesday just gone to have a meal and celebrate registering our newborn daughter. staff,10/10 food,10/10 cleanliness,10/10 i really enjoyed the red wine that the waiter suggested :) will definitely be back!!!!!

I recently had dinner here and loved it. From the food, wine and staff. Shout out to Chloe. Took real good care of me made sure I had everything I needed. Best to make reservations as they are always busy. I'll be back.

Great food and service, thank you Kayla

Overall Amazing experience. First time eating here! Food was unbelievable and service provided by our waitress Kayla was amazing she made our experience feel really special.

Great food and service from Luke and Seb was excellent.

Had a lovely time & a fantastic meal. Kayla served us & she was bright and friendly, very willing to help, knowledgeable and more than willing to go out of her way for us. We shall return again, no question!

Beautiful food and amazing staff are going above and beyond

We visited Cow & Sow last week to celebrate my brother’s 18th birthday, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Some of our family members have allergies, and I can honestly say this was the best restaurant we’ve ever been to in terms of allergy awareness and accommodation. The team took all the stress off us, handling everything with care and attention to detail. The customer service was outstanding, the food was incredible, and the whole evening was just amazing. We were initially served by Tik, who was friendly and polite, and later assisted by Anna and Luke. A special shoutout to Anna, who I had been in contact with ahead of our visit. She was beyond amazing - so thorough, responsive, and genuinely lovely. She made sure everything was sorted well in advance, answered all of our questions quickly, and went above and beyond to make us feel at ease. It was so nice to meet her in person on the night, and she was just as brilliant in person as she was over email! Luke was also fantastic - super attentive, knowledgeable, and just great with people. His service really added to the experience, and we all appreciated how well we were looked after. Their dedication, warmth, and attention to detail played such a big role in making my brother’s birthday so memorable, and I really hope they receive recognition for their outstanding service. Thank you, Cow & Sow, we’ll definitely be back!

Highly enjoyable evening! 50th birthday dinner accommodating 11 good friends. Commendable service and amazing food & drink from the moment we arrived right through until our departure... the Cow&Sow team made it feel highly personal and gave us the opportunity to celebrate my partners 50th with class and style. I'm personally really grateful for their time, service, outstanding food and professional attention.

Saturday afternoon, ½ empty restaurant and wasn't able to even get a table....😞😞 Edit: Thanks to the owner for reaching out. However, I probably won't be returning, as it was my only visit to Bristol. Have a great day.

Excellent service from the waiting staff. Excellent food from the kitchen, lovely ambience inside the restaurant thoroughly enjoyed my evening

Amazing!!! We went for the starter sharer board with some side options. All the food was so flavourful and delishous. Yes, it's just beef and pork but there is something unique about this place. The staff were so friendly and polite which is always an added bonus. Would recommend booking in advance as this place seems like a popular hot spot in Bristol. Also they have some steal deals on Mondays and theatre discounts, another win win.

Fantastic food , great service, just a little louder than we had hoped because of the guests at adjacent tables.

Great service by Chloe and the food was amazing!! Cocktails delicious and they really took care of us for our anniversary.

We came here for my friends birthday and the food was amazing! The service from Lily and Luke was absolutely stellar and we had a wonderful time. For me the dauphinoise potato was the best side and I’d also recommend the beefy blue cheese sauce!

The taste and quantity were worth the money. This is one of the places to go for steak in Bristol.

Luke and Chloe were great, food is always consistent and service too.

Delicious food, lovely servers. Made me feel Cary safe as a coeliac and had loads of gluten free options with dedicated fryers! Cant recommend enough

Seb was great and looked after us well!

Maya and Gio were great. The service was friendly and quick and the food was delicious.

Great food, our waitress Maya was very helpful and the atmosphere is great.

staff were really friendly, very nice interior. the food was amazing!! cocktails were nice as well

No problem parking around the corner in Quuen square. Between the 2 of us we had pork rinds (fine) sticky pork belly (great). 500g of Picanha steak (nice, good portion size for us, you might want more) with seasonal greens (as you would expect) and smoked bacon dauphinoise potatoes (good, I would have liked more between 2 people). Finished with apple tarte, and a salted caramel dish. Service was really good and had plenty of choice booking about 6 weeks in advance. Would happily come again.

Perfect place to go for Valentine’s Day. Excellent service and food.

We had a wonderful meal at Cow & Sow Queen Square. Alina & Issy were ever attentive and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend, we shall be back :)

the most gorgeous experience, came here as an early valentines date. such amazing food, the chateaubriand is to die for!! cooked to utter perfection. chloe our server was the loveliest person ever, so friendly and chatty, couldn’t have asked for a better night, thank you!

Exceptionally good food cooked to perfection.staff extremely helpful and cheerful. Only set back a little expensive.

Really lovely late lunch on a Thursday, great price, attentive service from Luke, tasty steak and fries, with the addition of tangy crunch slaw. Really nice experience.

Great food and drink in a quiet location. Well recommended for good steak and carnivores ! Clean warm and quick service. Thank you

Fantastic food with lovely service, downside was online booking system and food timers going off in the background.

Lovely food. and a lovely waiter who was very polite and helpful

Served by Seb, who was excellent Very lovely steak that could’ve done without the chargrill Seems this place can’t really decide what it wants to be - an upmarket steakhouse? A party place? Lovely sides though

Our waitress Maya was lovely, and she made some fantastic recommendations! The music could’ve be a little more gentle, but the food was incredible; I hope I can visit again soon.

Great food and great service, with one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Also the cabbage and dukkah side dish is a absolute must try. Very nice location as well.

My husband and I went last Saturday night for the first time to celebrate my birthday. We ordered the Chateaubriand between us and it was amazing! I persuaded my husband to go for the hispi cabbage as a side dish and it was out of this world 😁 We couldn't fault the evening. The atmosphere was just right - busy but not too noisy. The service was excellent from all the staff. Alina was our waitress and she was great. A perfect birthday celebration 😊

Everything was excellent. Our server Chloe was so lovely. Personable, helpful, friendly, funny, added to experience. The food was also spectacular. One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend.

Fab food, fab staff Thank you to Alina

issy was very good at explaining and the service. highly recommend for amazing food

The roast dinner was superb. Best I've had at a restaurant. Just a little too noisy. The music could have been turned down a notch

Absolutely fantastic night celebratingy birthday. Food was outstanding will definitely return and the service steaks were outstanding and so we're the starters and pudding s.

We had an outstanding Sunday roast - possibly the best I have ever had. Prices very reasonable for quality. We were heading off to the rugby so didn't try the desserts. Atmosphere slightly marred by crap and unnecessary music.

Luke and Tik are both great! Luke has been our waiter twice now and is so kind and a general lovely man. Amazing experience every time

Had a lovely meal and our servers Tik and Luke were wonderful as well

Last night was our second time at Cow & Sow. The food was excellent (best steak I’ve found in Bristol, and we’ve tried them all!) Seb’s service was very attentive and entertaining, even if he may not have been completely fresh after a recent holiday! A great evening, we will be back.

Myself and my parents attended Cow & Sow this evening and had an absolutely lovely time, the food was delicious and Kayla our server was fantastic and attentive! Very impressed and would definitely recommend

Really lovely place. The food was stunning. We were served by Kayla who gave us information on the different type of steaks, wines etc. would definitely go again. Friendly bar staff, lovely time.

Food was great, service was great. Issy very was attentive and polite. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Had a lovely meal here. Chloe has amazing wine knowledge and the ability to pull a pen out of thin (h)air which delighted my daughter. Great service and really diligent attention by Izzy. All the staff were on point always happy to make our night relaxing. Lovely ambience, great wine, lovely steak, Cooke dto perfection will be back again. Recommend the ox cheek starter and squid, if I am honest the hasllebacks were a little plain but enjoyed the play in onion rings with the Rosetta. Great job

Wonderful time at Cow & Sow and Issy was a wonderful host, she suggested few fantastic dishes 😃 Will visit again, Thank you Issy😊

Delicious food, great service from Issy and all around amazing experience

A fantastic little gem for meat lovers. Very reasonably priced menu with excellent service from Izzy. Will be back.

Beautiful meal with lovely service. Thank you Izzy and Chloe

Good as always great service from Maya and everyone else who came to table many thanks

Very cozy and atmospheric place with great food. Maya was very lovely and looked after us.

Absolutely fantastic meal and service! The crackling and pork belly was so good I wanted to bathe in it. The best part was the service. Kayla made a good dinner great!

Great food and service. Would recommend to anybody. Served by Tik who was also very helpful and friendly. Will come back!

We had lunch here yesterday and the food, service and atmosphere were superb. The food was excellent and really good value. Chloe and Seb were really attentive and friendly. Thank you so much for a lovely lunch. We will be back.

Friendly welcoming staff Excellent food Relaxed atmosphere Sunday Roast delicious Pork was amazing

Came in for a my birthday meal yesterday and it was great. The steaks were stunning, as were the side plates. Chloe served us and she was fun, attentive and really helpful with everything! Glad I chose to eat here, will definitely come back again :)

Amazing food and brilliant service! The meat was delicious! Our server Mickela was amazing and made sure we had the best time!

Not great meat in general. Poor selection of beer.

Great date night. Food amazing, Seb was an awesome server. Highly recommend ⭐️🥩

We went for my birthday and were very impressed with the service and the food. Kayla served us and was so attentive and gave us great recommendations. The food was absolutely faultles, we will absolutely be returning. Thank you so much Kayla!

Great steak and friendly service from Seb. Lunch menu delicious and reasonably priced!

A local guy in near by pub recommended this place by chance glad he did because it was a immense eatery! All of us enjoyed our meals good portion sizes,food brilliantly cooked and everything seemed so fresh and tasty. Service fantastic very welcoming and nothing was a burden. Atmosphere was just right lighting not too bright like a dentists or too dark that you cannot see what you are eating. Wasn't very noisy but wasn't too quiet just fine. Would definitely recommend 👌

The best Sunday roast I’ve had in a long while. From the minute we walked in, Ed’s service and attention to detail was impeccable. Honestly the loveliest staff, the most delicious food and a great atmosphere. We had the roast beef brisket, roast sirloin beef and The Cure (all 4 meats), plates were clean by the end of it. I don’t eat dairy and the kitchen was happy to cater for me, a lot of the roast staples are already vegan. Will 100% be coming back to try the evening menu. Amazing!
