The Cow in City of London, Westminster

Nice pub when for a few drinks on a Saturday night only thing was they had music that was so loud you had to shout to when speaking to each other. The music was good but it didn't need to as loud

Starters weren’t very nice, Calamari was very chewy and hardly any marrow on the Bone Marrow ! Steak and the Burger was lovely and so was the Crumble. Staff were lovely and very attentive

We were a group of 11 and we came quite a bit earlier and manager gave us even better spot and table to sit. Food is great - especially chicken wings!!! Service amazing. And atmosphere was great. Thank you !!!

The drinks and food are always good. Charlotte who worked behind the bar helped decide on what drinks to order and was so pleasant. Saloni came around asking if everything was OK more than once. Thank you ladies a good night had by us.

Great food, great service by Saloni.

We popped in for a drink and the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxed

Thank you Saloni for looking after us! Excellent service

Just had a Sunday roast and can say hands down it is the worst I have ever had. Food was cold, roast belly pork stuffed with herbs. Was not described like this in the menu. The Yorkshire pudding was totally dried through and could have been used as a drisbe

The food just wasn’t good: The fish and chips were totally black from old oil, the burgers were dry, and the meat was tough. It’s a real shame to come to a place, spend a lot of money, and eat so badly. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Convenient location. Very decent pub and spot to watch sports on the weekend. Can get very busy when games are on. Went in with a few friends, and we all had the same thing. Cyda battered Fish and chips. It was quite good, nothing was left on any plate. I also added a side of Onion rings, good as well. Side note: I don’t understand the addition of curry to Fish and Chips but it’s fine. Stumbled on some beer/cider called Jubel. Very light, flavorful and refreshing, this was on the recommendation of our waiter. Had 3. The dessert could have been better, I already enjoyed everything else so I can let that slide. Good experience

Nice after west ham united- Tottenham Hotspurs.

£4.95 for a bottle of coke. I feel like I’ve been punched. Daylight theft from whoever owns this place. I’m local and in regularly, pints are expensive but just slightly above average…£4.95 for a soft drink is ridiculous. I won’t ever darken the doors again. £13.50 for a decent breakfast and a fiver for a coke! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Capitalism at its very worst

Great pub for West Ham match days. Tried the Scotch egg and sausage roll recently and they were brill. Cheers!

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Great service.

Friendly staff made to feel welcome.

Great pub! Went for a drink with some mates while shopping in Westfield, and boy such a nice staff! Wasn't very decisive with the quite diverse wine list, but Hugo encouraged us to try Montepulciano, which was very much what I was looking for: juciy, and fruity. Will come back for sure!

Lovely pub, had a really nice Sunday Roast

Great pub tucked out of the way. Its got 2 floors with the ground floor being the drink/dance area and the 1st floor is the restaurant. I cant comment on the restaurant as I've never eaten there. You can stand at the bar, sit down inside or hang out in the garden at the front. Its a relatively nice sized and open pub. The toilets are well decorated and have always been very clean even towards the end of the night ;) The pub sometimes has a DJ or even if there isnt one the music selection is a good mix of modern/90's/80's usually. The drink selection is very good including middle class mixers. Now and again they change a few of the liquors especially the dark rum which is my preferred drink. Also, beers taste pretty damn fine on draft. The bar service is generally good despite how busy the evening can get and most bar staff remember what order the patrons came up to the bar (Thank god!) I believe there is always security on the door but they are there to look pretty, not to hassle you for ID. The crowd mostly carry a good vibe. A very diverse mix of people come here. Most seem like your 9-5ers just finished a day at the office. Rarely any trouble and rarely any riff raff. Now the price, Maybe Westfield are greedy? maybe the cow want to rip people off? Its far above 'average' London prices which is the only negative. Ive come here many times since it opened , generally its my go to pub for drinks with friends and dates lol. Soon ill be dragging my wife to be down here ......

We called for a drink limited seating inside as lots and lots of tables were reserved so we had a pint sat outside and moved on. We enjoyed it I think you need to book.

Good atmosphere, good food and good beer.

A well made Sunday roast for 2 people and reasonably priced in a quiet atmosphere. Will be going back

The food is absolutely disgusting I ordered calamari rings and they were not even cooked As it was the last order they did not even take their time to make it properly As well as the burgers (Disgusting) Definitely won’t recommend if you go there late

Tom gave us excellent smiley service!

Roast dinner was amazing. Hosted my parters Birthday dinner really well. Allowed us to play our own music in the venue, food came out quickly and very reasonable priced especially for London. Give you a pretty decent amount of food. Definitely got my moneys worth.

Did the job for a pre-match pint

Decent Beer selection. But…. If you want a soul less place for a beer - go here!

Nice pub, good beer and a gf option which was good.

Nice place to eat & drink before going to ABBA voyage. Reasonably priced.

Gluten free fish and chips was superb!

Great food, friendly and helpful staff and welcoming atmosphere (no loud music so great for chatting) 👍

Nice food, shame they ran out of Sunday roasts, we were there at 4pm

La comida era buena, al igual que las bebidas. Mujer tras la barra era muy amable, fuera de eso el servicio era muy frío. La comida se deja caer en la mesa sin una palabra, no hay devoluciones en nuestra comida. El único comentario sobre la comida sería que el queso vegano era muy acuoso (pensaba que era mayo) y las hamburguesas venían con encurtidos a pesar de que no estaba en el menú que lo hacían.

Food was good and beer was decent

Enjoyed lunch here today Wednesday 12.03.25

The food was fantastic and plentiful. The service was fast and efficient. Reasonably priced will definitely be going back

Great bar, obviously made on a designers desk but well done. £21 for 3 pints but hey ho. Great venue when going to London Stadium

Obviously a huge favorite because it's packed and one of our friends' faves, but we had a VERY uneven food experience. I got the salad and potatoes (I wasn't that hungry) -- salad was fine but potatoes were deep fried and tasteless. My husband got the potato pancake with crab sauce and it looked like someone had thrown up on his plate. Totally unappetizing, if not hideous, and really quite grotesque. Our friends were wise and got the tumbler of prawns and shared a steak on mash which looked quite nice. They couldn't make a martini, so I had a negroni which was excellent. Others had Guinness and cider which are hard to screw up. So ... just order wisely!

Corrected: Lovely pub inside but £15.10 for 2 pints of Estrella felt a little steep. Then again, it is inside Westfield and as said, it is very well decorated / furnished and has a nice feel.

I had steak and ale pie ,which was nice. However, the mash potato portion was very small.The chips was lonely 😂as there was about 8-10 enough My for a small child.My sister ordered a vegetarian breakfast, which was OK,but the vegetarian sausages 0/10 were awful🤢. The texture was like mash potato , no taste Avoid !!!!.

Had a great time at the Cow, loved the mac and cheese! Andora was super helpful in helping us find seating/get sorted. Would recommend!

Excellent, tasty and very satisfying full English. Absolutely nothing negative to report.

Meals are a bit on the small side and overpriced

Nice pub, went in early. Drinks reasonable and toon cash which isn't often found in London

Great pub to go to before West Ham game. Good beer and great service.

Excellent Service and fantastic food. It wasn’t obvious on entry where to go if you had a reservation (top floor) but once that was sorted it was a really nice place to eat.

Came in for the first time b4 West Ham game as given up on bars in ground, always loved Youngs Pubs, Lamb is my go to in town. Excellent, why have I waited so long. Great Ales, Scotch Eggs Sausage rolls. Nice staff, good service even though very busy. Well done, Excellent.

Sirloin steak fabulous, staff incredibly helpful and friendly, wine perfect

Not a lot of choice - the only pub near the tube station. Not large enough and easily gets very busy, but the staff is great. If it is really busy, try (the only) bar on the opposite side.

Call me old-fashioned but the least you might expect when buying a not inexpensive pint is that the bartender would bring it to you rather than leaving it by the pump so you have to walk down the bar to get it.

Great pub and even better food. I was shocked to find the fish and chips was gluten free as they use a gluten free flour and cider instead of the typical beer batter, it was so yummy 😋

Buzzy place that is what it is - decent place to drink at Stratford

I visited this pub before a home match at West Ham's London Stadium. Very popular with fans. Good beer. Had to queue at the bar, but this was unavoidable as so many fans were gathering for the match.

Amazing food and great traditional pub atmosphere in a city!! This will become a must eat out pub when we visit London from the country. Traditional British food abbots finest 👌

Your bouncer is so lovely. I love you guys

Pub located inside the Westfield shopping center and near the West Ham stadium. Matches on TV and excellent beer

Good place for drinks and pub food.

Not too busy. No real atmosphere. But ok for catch up and a drink

A very pleasant bar&restaurant , good prices for every budget. We recommend this bar/restaurant 🍻🍹🍾🥂👌😜

Had the duck breast with potato gratin, rainbow chard and port and plum jus. It was rather disappointing tbh. The rainbow chard just looked like shredded cabbage and the plum and port jus tasted like plain old gravy. The duck had no discernible flavour either. Rather disappointing for a £25 meal. The banana waffle, which I had for dessert, was nice though. Paid £12.50 for a rather small 'medium' glass of wine too. My brother had the plant based burger which he said wasn't nice. He also complained that the cranberry juice was too sweet and tasted watered down. All round improvement needed, it seems.

Atmosphere was nice, All the staff are very helpful and friendly, food we orderd was delicious

Was a great experience, the server Daniel was great making sure we was well feed and stocked up.

Daniel was great. Love to come again

Daniel was amazing and soo friendly! We really enjoyed our christmas dinner Thanks Daniel

I went to the cow in Stratford for a few drinks. There was a really friendly bubbly person who served me and speaking to me and my friends. I believe his name is Daniel or Danny. He made our afternoon and was in a very good Christmas Spirit!

I came in for some lunch and there was a man called Daniel who was very helpful and was very polite and gave me a nice customer experience, I’ll definitely be coming back!

Popped in to the cow with my mother in law for a nice glass of wine after a busy day shopping, the staff were lovely and full of Christmas spirit. The young guy Daniel was very sweet. The pub itself was beautiful have not been before, when next in Stratford will pop in again.

Fantastic atmosphere, good food and first class service by DENISSE. EXCELLENT, VERY ATTENTIVE, FRIENDLY, SHE EXPLAINED THE MENU ON HER OWN INITIATIVE. WE WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK... THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DENISSE.

Great Pub! Fantastic service from Daniel!

Daniel was lovely, friendly, answered all my questions and knew his RED WINE! Lovely fellow, what a wonderful Xmas meal for my work thanks to Daniel and his team.

Very nice chairman team lunch. Good food and service

Quite pricey but good beer selections. Cold air was coming from the windows near the entrance, we kept our coats on.

Great Christmas meal - food was lovely and staff were so helpful and friendly - especially Daniel who served us with humor and a lovely friendly rapport. Would definitely come here again.

This is the third time visiting The Cow in Stratford with my family and I and it's fast becoming an annual event. The staff are always friendly and the food is excellent. I personally like the steak but other family members have said their burger, fish & chips, ribs, steak & ale pie and plant burger were all excellent too. We have always been seated on the top floor, as a large group, so the ability to have a conversation is easy. The ground floor can be busy and on West Ham home games very busy. You can turn up on the day and get a seat but I would personally recommend booking in advance to guarantee your place. I definitely recommend The Cow for the food, service and staff as all are excellent.

Nice joint for a bite & feed before a match or shopping

Nice traditional pub just outside Westfield shopping centre in Stratford. Ideally located for the Olympic park.

Great Christmas meal. Only things missing was there was no stuffing, no Yorkshire pudding not much veg and no carrots. Very expensive also.

Pretty relax atmosphere. Queue at the bar so we thought of ordering via the QR code. It was tedious so we just finished our drinks and left.

Fantastic food and service. The team could not have been more accommodating and helpful. The food was also amazing the best Christmas menu I've had in a long time.

Booked this place for a team meeting, this is the second time I have been and the service is great. They offer various meeting rooms/spaces, the packages are great and they are happy to accommodate various dietary requirements. We booked the full day package to include unlimited tea&coffee and a lunch buffet which we loved. Great food selection and most importantly we thoroughly enjoyed it. Andora and the rest of the team took great care of us, thank you!

We ordered the fish and chips. Frankly, the batter was overcooked and the fish did not taste good at all. I liked the chips however. I’ve had fish and chips at many different places but this has to be the worst. Thank you for trying

Went for a beer before a game of football brilliant

We were in a large party, 18, and Daniel the waiter attended to all our needs and requirement. Drinks flowed and food came out together, as much as it can for that many guests. Thanks Daniel.

Really nice place to eat and mert friends.

We booked The Cow for our (large) family Xmas gathering last weekend and it was a real success. The food was, on the whole, good and portions decent. They were able to deal with multiple varying orders (including kids and allergens) without issue. The service was brilliant during the day and we were made to feel welcomed and able to take our time. We will definitely book again. Particular shout out to Andora on the booking team and Laura, Nikki and Amy from the on-site service team. Thanks for helping make the weekend go without a hitch.

Very Poor Service. Arrived Sunday evening 16:30, one staff member behind the bar, with a least 2 other bar staff that I could make out chatting whilst customers waited. Then after waiting 10-12min with the one staff member still serving the original customer, another barman finally joined, only to pick 1st customer on entering behind counter, ignoring all customers who had been waiting much longer. Having worked in the bar trade myself for years, this is just poor craft. At least ask who’s next, and make an attempt to determine same or better yet ask the barman who had been serving. Once this happened my companion and I left. Shame have been drinking here since it 1st opened, but poor service is inexcusable in this trade and will not be visiting again any time soon.

Restaurant is freezing cold, unpleasant to sit in, most people wearing there coats to eat doesn't result in a pleasant dining experience.

Midweek visit so quiet, but food and service were spot on.

Sat on the top floor the windows had been open and it was fairly cold. It never really warmed up. Food was good but could have been warmer also

Very nice team of staff. Sunday roast was excellent.

Very busy Pub, with a lively football atmosphere.

Top service, particularly by Ismail and Mihai.

Great pub. Doorman tunde great bloke 🍻

Turned up pre match West Ham V Everton about 12, for a 15:00 KO and found this place for food. Was no availability for a sit down but they found me shortly afterwards and offered me a table upstairs with my son. The service was on point, we ordered a Steak M/R for my son and I had the steak pie and mash. The pie and mash was of a good standard and about right for the venue and area. £22 The steak was £26 or 28. My son wasn't happy that it was M/W vice M/R so we mentioned this to the server. They promptly offered to re do a steak for us. The 2nd steak was perfectly cooked and spot on. Although high in price but right for the area we was happy with that. Only part I've knocked down is the steak. But as I said was corrected immediately and with respect. Good venue downstairs for pre-match drinks. But if you are looking for a quiet meal use on non match days and you will do great.

I had an incredible experience! The security team was outstanding – they were professional, attentive, and made us feel completely safe throughout the evening. The bar staff was also fantastic; they were efficient, friendly, and served our drinks quickly even during the busiest times. It’s rare to find a venue where both safety and service are so well handled. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place that truly prioritises its guests!

Great experience! Lively but with the three floors, we were able to enjoy lunch without too much noise or traffic.

Absolutely amazing staff. Friendly atmosphere. My favourite place on match days

Great breakfast and great staff, especially Tunde

Great venue, great people and fantastic service from Mihai and his team and particularly Ismail. 🤩

The food is brilliant, real friendly place and great atmosphere on match days. The Doorman Tunde was great too and very friendly.

Fantastic service, great food, great drinks
