The Cowshed in South Staffordshire

Fabulous …. Excellent food relaxing atmosphere. Loved that we weren’t rushed between courses , food presented beautifully. Nice to actually visit a restaurant and not a pub. Excellent value for 3 courses. We will definitely return.

Poor service, slow. We weren't asked about any allergies, the menu does not state what is in the meals. For example the menu says steak and ale pie, mushrooms not a steak mushroom and ale pie. Misleading at best. The breaded potato cake that comes with the chicken wrapped in ham contains cheese and what seemed to be spring onion no mention on the menu . We had to ask after 20 mins if our deserts were coming then they arrived after a further 10 mins. Asked for the bill it hadn't arrived after 20 mins so we went to the bar to pay. When I spoke to the manager he had excuses of being short staffed and said he took the menu comments on board, no apologies. I walked out very unhappy that our anniversary for me had been ruined. Not the experience I paid for. The quality of the food was good but overall the experience was poor. I felt sorry for the waiting staff as at points they were running around. If they don't have the staff then the bookings shouldn't be taken and maybe explain when customers arrive.

Just had a great beef filled dinner at the cowshed. Wife , son (11) and I had the greedy cow sharing plate with each steak cooked to order. All the sides were fantastic, particularly the creamed cabbage and waffles & eggs.. Managed to fit in a desert and a couple of drinks to finish off memorable meal Service was excellent. attentive without being pushy. And don't get any of some of the other reviews about price. I couldn't have expected better value for money for the quality of the food and drink we recieved Would happily come again next time in Liverpool

finnaly found somewhere that gives you what they promise. good food, good service and a smile from the waitress to the bar staff to the owners. all dressed neatly and all had a smile. enjoyed every minute of our meal, including the meal. If i had a criticism it was I would have preferred beef but it is served on the dark side of pink apparently. I personally prefer it on the light side of pink. but I understand they are catering for the many and not the few. so no problem

First time visiting here we were welcomed by Jackie who was so friendly and helpful. We had a complimentary soup which was Stilton and broccoli which was so tasty followed by the pork and beef which was just fantastic, great size portions and cooked beautifully. For pudding was lemon posit and cheese cake , again lovely food. The atmosphere is warm and homey and all the staff were polite and welcoming.

Superb service and excellent service!! Best Apple Crumble I’ve ever had (currently aged 77!). 16 adults and 3 under sevens were treated brilliantly for almost 3 hours. Thank you

My wife and I visited 11th August for sunday lunch. For starters, I had the honey chiplotas and my wife had the goats cheese, for mains I had the beef and my wife had the pork. All of our dishes were delicious and really generous portions, staff were very attentive. We thought our visit was exceptional and we will be back to experience more of the menu in the near future

We booked for a family of 8 for a birthday meal Sunday afternoon. The location and service was excellent and the food superbly cooked. I couldn't recommend this enough. We all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. Thank you.

Lovely Sunday dinner had today , nice to see lamb on the menu . Food tasted lovely and well presented . Staff were also very friendly

Came here for a birthday meal with seven people Was very disappointed in the service we recieved Food was lovely but service was let down Overall was not impressed

Poorest Sunday lunch in many a month Poach egg on starter had crispy edges, obviously reheated on a hot plate ?Beef , stuff and well pink. Side Vegas barely warm and undercooked Apple crumble , well the crumble was more like a short bread!Not impressed at all.On once we’re we asked if our meals were okSorry cowshed we won’t be back anytime soon

My partner and I went to The Cowshed as our first date night since having our lockdown baby, it was just perfect. The food was exceptional and the service was great! Will definitely be back!

Went for a lovely Sunday lunch and food was presented really nice, big portions. Our first visit would defiantly visit again.

We went to the Cowshed for my birthday in March. The food was just magnificent and the service excellent. I had what I think was the best pud I’ve ever had anywhere - raspberry and white chocolate bread and butter pudding. I do hope this becomes a permanent fixture on the menu

A regular restaurant choice for my husband and I. Wonderful welcoming staff and absolutely delicious freshly cooked, locally produced meals. We have only ever been for Sunday lunch but will arrange an evening meal soon. The lamb on Sunday is my favorite and back on the menu soon although the pork was a tasty substitute while we wait for seasonal produce. You won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful meal here for a party of 5 on 28th Feb. Food great, service good and priced reasonably. Would recommend the pork belly, duck and especially the sea bass. The starters were lovely and two ere big enough to share between us all. The menu isn't the largest but I'd rather have less choice and better quality food which seemed to be the case. Beer is rather expensive if you're a lager drinker - the bottles of 330ml beer were quite pricey, and would have rather paid a little extra for a 500ml bottle.Dessert was lovely and shared between all 5 of us, since we were so full after our starters and mains. They were thoughtful enough to put a candle in the ice cream as we were there to celebrate a birthday.I assume the menu changes according to season - I will be returning later this year if this is the case.My only complaint is that the sign on the road isn't lit at all, and the entrance to the building isn't lit (it seemed the have the outdoor lights but they weren't turned on). A little more consideration for lighting the actual entrance to the building, and a sign to point you in the right direction from the front car park.

We visited the Cowshed with friends in February, we hadn’t been for a while. We had a lovely evening, the food was absolutely delicious, even better than I remembered! The service was exceptional, we definitely won’t leave it this long again, a really lovely meal thank you

I visited The Cowshed with my fiancé on a Saturday night out. She had heard good things but I’d never heard of the restaurant before.Arrival was interesting as it is down a narrow country lane and the entrance sign is hidden if coming from the Wolverhampton direction but we found it eventually.The car park isn’t very well lit or surfaced which in the wind, rain and my partner wearing heels wasn’t the best.Once inside it’s very welcoming, the staff were lovely and wanted to make sure everything was excellent for our visit. Unfortunately after us having one round of drinks they never checked for any more. We also found as the night got busier the smaller room we were in was really a corridor down to the busier back room with a flurry of people coming through somewhat ruining the atmosphere.The menu is quite limited but we both found something to eat without issue. The starters and mains were lovely, the hand cut chips and steak especially. The desserts seemed a little lacking, almost mass produced in comparison which was a shame.Overall for a smaller independent restaurant its’s a nice place to eat but needs a little more polish to be really good.

We’ve eaten here a few times over the last couple of months and each time the food has been delicious. All has been well cooked and their chicken dish was succulent which isn’t always the case in many places. This is the onky restaurant where I have had the chicken dish more than once.Service is very friendly and they are very allergen aware and cater for my need for a gluten free diet with ease.I do agree that the chairs are past their best, but with the added cushions are actually very comfy.

Crab salad starter was without any suggestion of crab, just a rather basic potato salad. The chef should not be sending food like this to the tables. Main course was duck, again disappointing being rather tough and over-cooked. It was neither slow-cooked as a confit or flash-fried magret style. It appeared uniformly 'grey' throughout as if heated in a microwave..By contrast the service was friendly and polite but not matched by kitchen skills.

Went for Sunday lunch with friends. Food, service and ambience all good (although the peeling leatherette chairs need replacing). However, at £23 per head for 2 course Sunday lunch the Cowshed is over-priced, hence the lower rating. The price does not seem to deter people, as the place was full, but I prefer better value for money.

The meal was at lunch time.There was not the wine we preferred yet the other wine was ok.The bread sharer was just boring bread.The pate was nice but the garlic bread on it was too hard.The rest of the starters were ok.The main were two beefs,a duck and twin other dishes. The beef was too soft as it was most probably a fatty piece of beef.The other beef was too hard.The roast potatoes were far too salty.The duck was cold which we should have mentioned before we had our plates taken away.We may have mentioned it if anyone came to ask how our food was yet nobody did come(standard parties or not as other customer).The dessert of chocolate tart which I had was disgusting in my opinion as it takes of chocolate orange rather than chocolate which ruined the taste.Thankfully, the other dessert of creme brulee was nice even if I think that creme brulee is not a great dessert to have.Even so,the person did eat it all.This place needs a major rethink.Other minor things like mints at the bill could have added but there is absolutely no point in completing minor things like this if the food is inadequate.

Our first visit here because I wanted something special for my 70 odd years birthday and we weren't disappointed.Warm welcome.... Excellent table with perfectly positioned radiator for my wife.....Chose from the Sunday menu.... Decided on 2 courses .....main and dessert ....excellent decision.Our mains of Beef and pork were superb with a perfectly cooked variety of fresh vegetables......the broccoli in cheese sauce was exquisite..... The meats were tasty , succulent and plentiful. Both mains were superbAfter some deliberation I chose the cherry and amaretto creme brulee and my wife chose lemon cheesecake with lemon curd ice cream....The were the perfect topping to a very very enjoyable birthday lunch.Thank you to everyone at the Cowshed for your friendliness, professionalism and great service Richyp

Had a really nice with my family here, we all thoroughly enjoyed it!

We visited tonight for the first time and a good experience. The food was very tasty, we had three courses and wine.

Visited The Cowshed for the first time yesterday and was not disappointed. This was a great experience from start to finish. Set inside a barn conversion the decor and atmosphere puts you at ease the moment you walk in. Staff also really friendly and knowledgeable they cannot don enough for you. We ordered warm ciabatta and oil to start which was lovely. Before this however, our waiter brought over two aperitifs of Stilton and broccoli soup which was so warming. For our mains we both ordered fillet steak cooked medium, (mine topped with Stilton which was gorgeous) served with crispy onion rings and thick hand cut chips drizzled in truffle oil and sprinkled in Parmesan. This was proper homely comfort food which we both thoroughly enjoyed. Washed down with a nice bottle of Chilean merlot. Finally, to top off a fantastic meal, we had desserts. Rhubarb Creme Brûlée with orange zest shortbread & apple crumble with vanilla ice cream and warm toffee sauce. Both were exceptional and a great ending to our night. Will definitely be frequenting the cowshed again in the future and will recommend to friends and family.

We have frequented this restaurant previously and I am very pleased to say last nights meal met our expectations and standards. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The choice on the menu was ample. The steaks in particular cooked well with excellent quality meat.

It was amazing! Why has it taken us so long to visit? We see the advert regularly in the wolverhampton west magazine but haven’t visited before now.

Once again a lovely evening.. food was amazing.. absolutely delicious flavours.. lovely ambiance...

We visit the Cowshed at least 3 times per year and have done for at least the last 5 years with friends and/or family because we know that when visit we get consistently good quality, wholesome british based food, exciting tastes, perfect quality with excellent value for money. Service always on point, polite and friendly. Highly recommend.

We went for a Sunday lunch.There was quite a good choice from a fixed price menu, where you picked two or three courses. Our food was all very well presented and with decent sized portions a variety of vegetables were served in bowls it was all very tasty and well cooked.

I am a little disappointed with the Cowshed this time around. We have been on several occasions. However, the staff were lovely and very attentive, even getting us cushions because the chairs are clearly too low for the tables, which is really uncomfortable. The meal I would say was average, all everyone of us said our meals were only luke warm. The lamb although the menu says loin was a very fatty and grizzly which is not a loin!. Then I had asked about bringing a birthday cake as it was my partners and his fathers birthdays on that day. We could bring it but policy states you cannot eat it unless you order pudding! So I didn't bother which was a big disappointment before the meal even started. Will I return to the Cowshed, probably not which is disappointing.

Have been to The Cowshed on several occasions but not for a couple of years. We'd always remembered it as being excellent but today unfortunately was not the case. We ordered prawns and garlic mushrooms to start - the prawns had no flavour whatsoever and was obvious they were out of the freezer, the mushrooms were nicely presented but again lacking in flavour. The risotto was stodgy and disappointing in taste and texture. The braised beef so such a huge portion that it spoilt the dish - I like my food but it was far too big a piece given that the sauce was very rich - a smaller piece with far less sauce would have been much more appealing. We were given an extra bowl of vegetables which were a complete waste as there were leeks, potato mash, roasted carrot and pumpkin on the plate anyway - all far superior to the steamed vegetables served in the bowl. The lemon cheesecake was the best bit! It's not cheap - didn't understand why fish and chips were 4 pounds extra!! Even bread was 4 pounds extra too. If there are only 4 mains (on the set menu that don't have an charge extra) they should be excellent and unfortunately they weren't.

Came across this out of the way restaurant whilst having a drive out in the country, and decided to give it a visit for Sunday Lunch. We were glad that we did. The food was excellent, well presented, and large portions. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable about the ingredients. Service was relaxed and not rushed at all. We were very satisfied and will be back.

Well we just found this little beauty today - what a great surprise it was! Just 30 mins drive for us & this is a real hidden gem! Such friendly staff & amazing food with such great flavours - thanks for a really lovely evening. We will be visiting again I'm sure!

After finishing a 7 mile walk we treated ourselves to a superb meal here.

Birthday meal for my wife. Really pleasant and friendly staff. Good menu focused on limited but varied food so something for most. Not cheap but good quality comfortable rural surroundings. Wine selection good. £95 for two including three courses two large glasses of wine and two beers. Will go again. Only thing missing for me was that there was no mention of where the food came from. Other top quality local pubs / restaurants mention where the food is from in some cases name the farm. Don’t suppose it matters really but being in Shropshire there is the opportunity of using outstanding local produce.

A lovely setting and lovely interior. Good atmosphere. Delicious food. The staff were pleasant. Would definitely go again.

First visit and won’t be the last! Food beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Staff were all so lovely. Restaurant presented lovely and decor was quirky. Thank you all for a lovely evening.

There really isn’t anything I could fault with the cowshed, my partner and I went for a date night recently and just loved the whole experience. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and the food was just amazing! I see a few people on trip advisor moaning about the time taken for courses, this is a real shame as this is a brilliant independent restaurant and everything is made fresh, so it will take a little more time for the courses to be prepared.

I’m sure we were unlucky, but a very long wait for food (1hr 15mins for main courses). Husband said good steak and I enjoyed my Pinot Grigio but beyond that we were underwhelmed considering the reviews and prices. Risotto was too much like rice pudding. Nice little complimentary soup in a cup (also slow to arrive), but husband would have preferred sieved rather than ‘broccoli bits’. Service not the best. Hope you have a better time than us... Better luck next time ;)

Just returned from an evening meal for my husbands Birthday. Have been before and can’t praise it enough. It’s a lovely friendly and comfortable place to have a meal. Excellent food and very good staff nothing is too much trouble. Service extremely efficient which is a rarity these days. Will be back soon.

Visited here today for a Sunday lunch with my partner we have been here roughly 5-6 times each time the food tastes even better than before.

You can’t beat the cowshed for it’s good, drinks and atmosphere. A cute and intimate dining experience- highly recommend

A very pleasant restaurant in a great location. Enjoyed a top rate starter and main with the family but couldn't manage a dessert. From what I could see they looked very appetising too. Friendly and welcoming staff who never left us waiting.

The restaurant coped very well with a large family group, even though there was a very wide choice of dishes on the menu. Service was prompt and good, staff were very friendly and helpful. Everyone seemed to enjoy their choice. My wife and I had roast pork and lamb shank. Both were delicious. Our first visit, but hopefully not our last!

Three of us came for a family birthday and we’re not let down. All three courses were amazing. The tiger prawns and duck were perfectly cooked and I can heartily recommend. The service was also spot on. There is nowhere better for a great distance.

Went for lunch today. Delicious, freshly cooked food, with really good portion sizes. All four of us loved the food. Unfortunately couldn’t manage a dessert. Friendly host. Definitely going to visit again.

Visited the Cowshed for the first time on a family get together lunch. It really is a nice surprise off the beaten track. The staff were friendly and welcoming form the outset. The food was beautifully cooked and well presented. I would recommend The Cowshed to anyone.

Visited the Cowshed today for Sunday lunch, I can honestly say this was one of the best meals my wife and I have ever had,

I visited The Cowshed today for Sunday Lunch with my Mom.

To be fair I heard good reports of this place and it started well with the complimentary soup but it stopped there to be honest both our steaks were very nice but the pepper sauce should have been called sea salt well salty and the home made chunky chips we think had the same salty chips

Had a meal for the first time at the cow shed and most definitely will be going again! We were a party of 10 and the food was exceptional! All of the staff were so friendly and attentive! Highly recommend!

Visited the Cowshed restaurant for lunch. Food was excellent. Service was spot on. Steaks, which were rather large, were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Plenty of fresh veg served too. Would definitely go again.

Great food yet again! Lovely place, very comfortable, perfect staff! We were both very satisfied after 2 courses, bit of a shame we didn’t have room for dessert!! Always good food here!!!!

We visited the Cowshed for a family 80th meal and there were 12 of us. When we arrived the atmosphere felt perfect for this type of celebration everyone was immediately relaxed. The food was all pre ordered at the request of the restaurant to help the kitchens and to stop any delays, this all worked perfectly. The food was very good, there is not a massive menu choice but every one was very happy with their selections. What really makes this venue is the staff they were all happy, friendly, relaxed and very accommodating. The cowshed is a great venue with fantastic staff, thank you all for making an 80th birthday party very special.

It is always a pleasure to visit this beautiful restaurant. This was my first visit since last summer and it was just as wonderful as always. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, a very appetising menu, and the food itself was simply delicious, every single mouthful. Looking forward to our next visit in March very much indeed.

Visited here with a few friends and such for a birthday meal and I was so glad I decided to book here.

Visited today for Sunday lunch the roast beef dinner was the best we’ve eaten it was cooked to perfection and the gravy was to die for. Lovely ambiance and friendly staff look forward to revisiting.

Fancy a fabulous Sunday lunch? Try the Cowshed if you haven’t been before. The food was so tasty and very well presented. We booked to go between Christmas and the New Year as we didn’t fancy any more home cooking. The decor is fresh and modern, the staff very friendly and attentive, and the food.....amazing. I had beef which was so tender and so filling. I attempted pudding (apple crumble with sticky toffee sauce and ice cream) but it beat me. Portions are generous so only go for 3 courses if you are hungry and haven’t eaten for days!!!!!

Absolutely loved everything! Tasty starters, great roasts and marvellous desserts. Can’t believe we’ve not been here before!

Had a Xmas lunch here on Wednesday with 6 others. Service was prompt and well organised and very friendly. Food was piping hot , delicious and generous portions. Had a great time with buzzing atmosphere and really enjoyed the whole lunch. . Just a really good place to go . Thanks to the staff and owners .

Absolutely delicious food, it was difficult to select from the menu as everything appealed. Lovely staff very attentive and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. A perfect start to the weekend. Definitely worth a visit.

A Lovely Sunday lunch with my sister and brother in law it was the best Sunday lunch out that we have had for sometime .Nice to have beef served as we like it at home the only comment I would make is it would be nice to have a few boiled potatoes.Lovely pleasant staff all in all a very nice experiance

Out in the country down a narrow lane but only a mile or so off the main road the Cowshed is set in real farm premises . The dining rooms are full of character and the whole atmosphere is inviting . The food was excellent. I had pate followed by grilled salmon and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal . The other 3 in our group felt the same about their choices too .

Some things were amazing about this place, some things not.

A bit of a mixture of a night . Some good points, some bad .

Stopped off for lunch on Friday around 2. The food was out of this world. The garlic mushrooms on brioche and breaded Brie were generous and beautiful starters. Then had the shoulder of beef and the lamb shank. Both were cooked to perfection, and the accompaniments were perfect too. Amazing value, I would have been happy to pay more. Lovely food, lovely service, lovely spot

Our visit to The Cowshed sadly didn't live up to the hype around it. Although the menu was good and the service was prompt, proffessional of a high standard our food seemed to lack that quality everyone talks about.

Have just returned from our first visit for my Birthday and it certainly won't be our last.

We’ve had a birthday lunch at the Cowshed today. The food was excellent, beautifully presented and delicious and the service was superb...extremely friendly and lovely. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Absolutely loved this place, the food was delicious and I cannot fault a thing with the food. The place itself is well presented and cozy inside. The service was great, I will suggest though that you should pour the customers wine, our wine was just plonked on our table, we ordered 3 bottles of wine and not once was any glass poured for us but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed, we will be back very soon, Thanks

The venue is very well presented, an interesting shaped restaurant, long and narrow on slightly different levels. Not too keen on the choice of beers. The staff were very good except that one waitress insisted on calling us "guys" - maybe I am old fashioned but really dislike being referred to in that way, least of all at a quality restaurant.

What a treat this place is! Just been for Sunday lunch with the family. The staff are so warm and welcoming and the place has a beautiful atmosphere. The menu was lovely, great starters- Iots of veggie options. Although there was only one veggie main on offer on the lunch menu (choice is always nice... ;-) ) the risotto, which I don't generally enjoy, was the tastiest I've ever had. The meat and fish dishes were cooked to perfection, beautifully presented and full of flavour.

Staff friendly and efficient,food excellent,lovely restaurant.I would recommend a visit for good menu.

A lovely country side restaurant. Food cooked to perfection. Had ribeye steak. Amazing! Staff very alert and very helpful. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant

All of the staff at this lovely restaurant went out of their way to make sure our daughters 21st birthday surprise celebration meal was one to remember!

Visited here again on the occasion of my 70th birthday - with 10 people. The menu was as good as ever with plenty of choice, and the quality of food and service was brilliant. My 'foodie' friends loved it and within three hours, I had booked for a return visit. Caroline, the owner, has worked hard to maintain high standards and she has succeeded. Ed, Sophie, Laura and Abbi looked after us very well indeed...service was not rushed and we all felt very welcome.

Friendly staff and overall nice food , the starter of chilli prawns was tasty and the braised beef was simply stunning. The steaks were tender but not worth £25 as they lacked flavour . The wine list has a decent choice at reasonable prices but the bottled water is served at room temperature and on a hot Friday summer's night bottles of cold water would have been very welcome.

Had a lovely meal here with my partner, food was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive. Very quirky cow based decor which I loved and can't wait to go back again.

This was our second time dining here, The previous time was “ok”

I picked this restaurant to take my dad out for Sunday lunch for Father’s Day.

We had a very nice time with friends however, in my opinion the menu & service were very average. I requested cucumber for a G&T; but they didn’t have any. The sparkling water was room temperature & not served in a cooler. Still water jug remained empty for some considerable time until we managed to catch someone’s eye for another bottle of wine. Food was tasty if not a tad overpriced.

Quiet and relaxed setting with welcoming and friendly staff. Unfortunately the relatively limited menu didn’t include much that floated my boat. That said I defaulted to a steak which was excellent.

The restaurant was situated in Pattingham down a country lane, as soon as we arrived we were made very welcome and shown to our seats.

We love coming to The Cowshed for a Sunday roast, and last weekend did not disappoint. Fantastic starter, I mean, the deep fried Brie was a little slice of cheese heaven. My husband had the goats cheese starter and also really enjoyed it. The main event, the roast beef, was absolutely divine. Topped off with lovely cheery service. Can never fault this place and worth the journey over. Will be back soon! Thank you.

Visited the Cowshed on April 22nd...the Sunday lunch menu was extensive and offered good choice. The prawn cocktail and mushroom starters ordered were generous and delicious, and the roast pork and roast beef dishes, with great vegetable accompaniments,were well cooked and brilliantly presented. Apple crumble and lemon parfait just perfect. Service was friendly and attentive, without being over bearing. Will definitely return. A 'mooooost' enjoyable visit to the Cowshed!

Very good menu, generous portions and delicious food. Waiting staff were excellent and answered our questions about the beef used for the mains and queries about the desserts.

Visited the cowshed today on Mother’s Day never been before what a loverly meal and the staff were very friendly thanks see you again soon

We visited the cowshed for Mother’s Day lunch. The place was packed with a lovely atmosphere of families enjoying themselves. I had the tiger prawn starter that was beautiful and the pork for main course which was delicious the crackling was really nice and hard which is a rarity elsewhere. The crepes for dessert were really really good. The service was second to none as everyone was attentive and in a cheery mood. It was a really triumph of a day. Thankyou to everyone involved.

Lovely Resturant , staff were attentive and the food sublime.

.......A 70th birthday celebration. Nine of us had a great time. The Cowshed requested we all choose our menus a week before to ensure everything was pre-planned to perfection. We did, and it was.

Visited the Cowshed with my husband for Valentine's evening and was blown away by the fabulous food. Will definitely be visiting again. Service was also first class.

This is a must visit not for just a special occasion but for something a little bit above the 'norm' and a get away from the same old pub grub we have been forced onto by tireless marketing agencies for big pub chains.

Very welcoming staff, really nice greeting and goodbye at the end of our first visit.also very friendly throughout the evening, starter and main course excellent, too full for sweet.Quality of food and service very good.

We went for a family Sunday lunch (perhaps not the best time to judge). Friendly staff but not very knowledgeable. Lovely broccoli and stilton soup. The main of roast beef etc was disappointing - I would have preferred less well done beef and it all needed seasoning. Great puds, but far too big.

Dinner on a quiet Friday night was spoiled by a draughty cold restaurant. We were told it was a converted barn, what part that played in the justification for the cold I am not sure, it is now a restaurant. Food was of an acceptable quality but not outstanding. Staff perhaps need a little more training, for example we ordered a mid £20s bottle of wine which was placed on the table, top still intact, help yourself!!! We were not paying pub grub prices and expected a little more attention to detail with regard to service. Would we return - perhaps wait for the summer.

Booked 4 months ago!!!! Got a call today to say they didn’t realise Christmas Eve was on a Sunday!!! And will be closing at 4pm. Who on earth takes a booking on Christmas Eve and didn’t even realise it was on a SUNDAY what diary/booking system do these guys use!!

The cowshed was highly recommended to me, so I booked a table for 9 for a birthday celebration today. We was not let down at all. Staff were friendly and couldn’t be any more helpful. The food was beautiful and plenty of vegetables to go round. I would throughly recommend this hidden gem and we will definitely be visiting again. Amazing little restaurant

Lovely Sunday lunch. Could not fault the food or service. My only criticism is that I would expect tea or coffee following the three courses for £24.95
