The Red Cow in Sedgemoor

Pleasant, reasonable menu, nothing bad to say about it etc

Lovely sunday roast, friendly staff

Lovely service, big plates of hot tasty food. A wonderful traditional pub.

Lovely staff and an amazing steak and kidney pie , we will be back .

9 of us went for a meal after my mothers funeral. Everything was outstanding, we ALL loved our meals. The service was amazing, fast, friendly and made us feel welcome. Place is immaculate and feels loved. Lady that served us, been there 36 years and was soooo lovely. Can't speak highly enough about it. Thanks to all for making our difficult day a pleasant time. 5******

Excellent place to eat and very friendly atmosphere

A nice pub with good food. Good sized garden to rear as well. Lots of reserved tables, we went on the off chance just as it opened and managed to get a table. Quiet when we were there but probably better atmosphere as evening goes on.

We were recommended the Red Cow having just travelled 4 hours to our holiday accommodation near by and in need of a wholesome meal. We got that and more. A warm welcome, plates full of lovely fresh vegetables, roast dinners (it wasn't even a Sunday) and a delicious steak and kidney pie, lashings of thick gravy. The staff were all very friendly, the young lad who served us was exceptionally well mannered and efficient, with eye contact and even engaged in conversation...hoorah! We wish it was our local.

Had the chicken supreme from the specials board. Was gosh darn delicious!

Had a quick drink in here after walking up the knoll seemed nice enough

Haven't visited here in a number of years, but decided to pop by on a Friday lunch. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. They have a number of specials too, and the desserts looked very nice (we were too full from our meals!) We'll definitely be coming back again soon.

Popped in at lunch time .car park nearly full that was a good sign.greeted by 2 very friendly waitress and shown to a table for two very busy in the bar and resturant .lots of different beers and ciders on offer.very quickly served and order took while we choose our meals .I choose a ploughman's lunch my wife choose the salmon both meals were very good 10/10.staff were very friendly and working very hard to keep the meals coming .Will definitely return thank you everybody at the red cow

It has been a few years since I was last here. The food arrived without too much of a wait, together (5 of us), hot with a fulfilling portion. A little pricy but worth it.

Fab stop off point before our holiday started. Great lunch . Lovely staff. Good kids menu . The ice cream was the best

Lovely, friendly staff. Great Sunday lunch, clearly very popular as the car park was full and because people had booked, there was only tables outside. Good value Sunday lunch, also good that you had a choice of plate sizes. Great views of Nrent Knoll

My parents dine here occasionally so we booked for 8 of us for my mums birthday. It’s such a charming old pub, tucked away with nice gardens if you want to sit outside. We had a mixture of meals, I had the Sunday roast turkey and it was perfect. All cooked to perfection and plenty of gravy. The raspberry pavlova was equally as scrumptious! The staff were so friendly, the food was served quickly and all cooked perfectly they were more than happy to bring out our birthday cake. Can’t fault it atall, a little gem of a place, we look forward to visiting again!

Nice food, and a nice pub, although expensive

Was invited here by a friend found it very easy to find with ample parking. The restaurant was spotless Staff friendly and efficient. I had a plowmans for change and it was right on point especially with the hotter weather.

Perfect place to go if you fancy a pint or have a nice dinner.

Lympsham WI visited the Red Cow recently as part of our ‘Ladies that Lunch’ activity. We were a party of just under 20 on three separate tables and the staff were excellent and very welcoming. They weren’t phased by our numbers and took our orders calmly and efficiently and arranged for us to all pay separately. The food was excellent and served promptly. We couldn't fault the quality of the experience and would highly recommend. Thank you.

The Red Cow is just everything you hope for in a country pub.

What a fantastic place was on holiday went twice food and staff were amazing thank you xxx Oliver family

Really enjoyable meal at the red cow. Food was all quick, fresh, hot and tasty. Really recommend this pub and having eaten here several times we have never been dissapointed

What an amazing place! Come here almost weekly for a nice meal out, the staff , the atmosphere and the food make this place like no other. I couldn’t recommend enough, never had a bad meal and tried almost everything on the menu, including a pork or lamb home cooked roast that is on permanently! Thank you for you repeated amazing service

Great Sunday Lunch. 3 different sizes to choose from. Beef Turkey Pork meat choices.

What an amazing place. Lovely and clean, beautifully decorated. And the Roast Rib of Beef was excellent. Service was great.

Good food, family run. Nice real ales Need to book for a table most day as very popular Plenty of parking spaces.

Food very good but little attention to the guests

Absolutely stunning pub , good food , and a friendly atmosphere ,

We were staying at Burnham on sea, I looked for a village pub nearby and found the Red Cow, the food was delicious, pate starters and steak cooked to perfection, we will definitely visit again. The service was also first class👌

Super friendly pub. Needs more vegetarian options please.

Portion sizes are smaller than last year

Regular Sunday lunchers as our local but had to leave review, always good but now even better Fresh vegetables, great service from staff

We visited the day before Good Friday so the pub was quite busy. My son commented how friendly everyone was, they really made an impression! Our food was excellent and the service was first rate. Would highly recommend!

Good food, will try more of the menu, had the tempura prawns to start followed by roast beef dinner

Very friendly service and excellent food

Super friendly staff, intimate and cosy atmosphere and food was delicious!

Not really a pub any more. Decoration is dated and no music lends itself to a bland experience.

What a great pub. Fantastic food and great service. I look forward to returning soon.

We had a lovely meal in a lovely pub. Lucky for us there was a free table. The staff are friendly. We will go back with our son and daughter soon.

Friendly wonderful food cooked perfectly the cod on the special board was wonderful and toilets so clean

We've eaten at the Red Cow several times, and the meals are superb! I only have one small criticism; I ordered steak and kidney pie with vegetables and chips, and the gravy had been poured over the plate, and the chips were placed on top the gravy, which made the chips soggy. Personal preference, I prefer crispy chips. Next time, I'll ask for the gravy to be separate. It's maybe a good idea to serve the gravy separately, so the customer can decide where and how much gravy they'd like? Desserts are lovely, although they're on the small side, especially for the price. Staff are nice, and we spoke to the chef who was in the bar, and he was pleasant.

We came for a quick lunch after a walk on the beach about 5 mins away, with no booking they were very accommodating of 7 of us. Good classic pub grub and dog friendly.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Amazing food at great prices. Definitely worth a visit :-)

Have just returned from having Sunday lunch food was excellent could not fault it.Would highly recommend staff very attentive no complaints whatsoever.

Lovely service,specially helping out with having child needs to have best comfort

The best roast dinner in North Somerset

This is by far the best pub around for hot ‘home from home’ cooking. The steak pie is to die for and is my husband’s favourite! I usually have the salmon or something from the specials board but whatever is chosen is always faultless! Extremely friendly staff, clean and table service too. We invariably dine here every week which speaks for itself.

Food & service excellent. Steak was 100% better than a well known steak restaurant chain!!! Homemade coleslaw was delicious & the puddings were fantastic, salted caramel brownie was the best. Will definitely be visiting again. Well done all ⭐

Very friendly staff with good quality pub food at good prices. What more fo you need? We have bee going for a few years now and always lives up to expectations. Thank you for hosting my Dad's 90th and bring out the cake I brought. 🎂 🙏

Despite a water logged kitchen that had to close the Red Cow team managed to look after 14 of us as booked for an evening out . Their effort was much appreciated and food as ever was great . Thank you very much for the warm welcome .

Had a lunchtime catch up with twelve mates. Service excellent and food great variety and value.

Warm welcoming atmosphere, staff very helpful and even changed items on menu for my children. Amazing home cooked food everything was perfect. Highly recommend

Sorry to have to write this negative review. Because we have had some fantastic meals over the last 15 years at the red cow .in Brent Knoll .They suffered like all pubs / restaurants during the pandemic . 😷 but they came back with better food and hospitality. But we have been there recently for Sunday roast on the 26/11/23 Selection was disappointing no staters only turkey and the toughest lamb I have ever tried to eat and the the vegetables were undercooked .don’t think we will going back in the foreseeable future

The homemade steak & kidney pie made with short crust pastry was the best I've tasted in a long time

Lovely food lovely people and lovely place

Absolutely incredible food, service was amazing. I cannot recommend this pub enough. Best pie I’ve ever had!

After trying another carvery and struggling to find somewhere to eat late on a Sunday evening I chanced and called the Red Cow. So happy we did. Wayne (lovely gent who took the call) managed to squeeze us in on the last table available for a late roast. Most other venues at 18:30 would give you any number of excuses not to serve you what’s on the menu, or have run out of other options, but this pub was fantastic! The staff serving were more than welcoming and the food was delicious. Large lamb roast for £15 kids for £8. Beer excellent. Deserts were a little pricy at £7 but if you can point me towards a better lemon curd cheesecake I’ll eat my hat. We left with full belly’s and a note on local places to visit. Would highly recommend. PS toilets were spotless. This speaks volumes on any venue in my opinion.

A wide range of meals, including vegetarian, served by friendly and efficient staff. The atmosphere in the pub is excellent. The food is delicious. It also has a large car park so groups should have no problem meeting there. All round a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

Comprehensive menu. Excellent roasts lamb turkey beef. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent pub well worth a visit.

Friendly place with very good food

Great food and very friendly service

Very friendly staff, food very good, sevice great, will visit again 👍

A unexpected lunch out at a pub that is local to me. Friday and a roast lunch do not always go hand in hand but the menu had rib of beef as a roast option and that's what I went for. A full roast dinner and a choice of meal sizes, small, medium and large. All priced realistically for the meal. It included a Yorkshire pudding as well as the Red Cow cauliflower cheese. Cauliflower cheese is standard on the roast meals, remember to say if you don't like it. A traditional village pub that has adjusted to the food market to survive, it does well with a good reputation and food that always delivers. Friday is also curry night with a vegan curry option. One to remember next time I visit. WiFi coverage is also good which allows children to use their devices and keep busy.

Lovely food,definitely returning.

Delightful village pub. Serves great food, steaks are good quality and the garden serves as a lovely spot for alfresco dining and drinks. I used to see John Cleese there back in the eighties and nineties, he would take his mum for dinner there and he would get quite animated about the petit pois. Go and visit for yourself!!! 10.09.23 Me and my son cycled from BoS to Brent Knoll via Crooked Lane, this is a nice route with no car traffic. We stopped off at the Red Cow for a drink and a slice of caramel fudge cheesecake. On the return journey we paused on top of Crooked Lane railway bridge and waved at the driver of a GWR locomotive and he gave a blast of the horn (go on my son!)

Popped into this place twice recently on the way home. In my opinion, it's not a village pub lacks atmosphere. You're not really welcome as a person who just wants a beer. Today was bizarre, we dropped in at 14:35, it shuts at bang on 15:00 as I was told twice on the way to the bar! Then, it was the first thing the barman mentioned. Looks like a few local people eat in the place if they don't want to cook at home, and I guess if you like a dinner hall atmosphere, it's OK.

What a lovely find. We had a wonderful meal, at a very good price. The creme brulee for dessert was to die for. The owner was so friendly too. We'll definitely be back.

It's took a little downfall but still a great place to eat and drink staff are nice but it's very expensive so be mindeful of that. A 4 person meal can cost up to £100 which means it's not always affordable.

Best food for miles highly highly recommended best steak pie ever tasted.

Went here for Sunday lunch. Food was excellent and plentiful, staff helpful and friendly. Very popular venue so booking advisable. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Arrived at 2:30 hoping for drinks only and were met at entrance by a staff member who told us in no uncertain terms that they were closing at 3 but we could have a drink in the garden. We felt very unwelcome. No option to have a quick drink indoors, couldn't be served in the main bar, we were made to go around the corner to the garden service bar area under strict instructions that we'd have to leave soon. Frankly, it doesn't take more than 30 minutes to enjoy a pint. Most disappointing.

Popped in for a pint whilst waiting for my other half….I only had 1 foot in the door when I was pounced upon with “Do you have a table booked”…I explained I only wanted a drink and the look I was given was quite something!…I took my drink outside!!…when I returned my glass the pub was busy with people eating so I can only assume it’s well known for it food…just think staff could be mindful that when someone simply wants a drink it’s still money over the bar - and perhaps if they are local like me it might lead to a table booking on another occasion!!!…as it is I probably won’t pop in again …

Quality food lovely friendly staff and a very good atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Excellent experience! Highly recommended! Ok it’s a little strange, the decor is dated but immaculately clean and the place is just a little bit out of the ordinary, however the personal welcome, the food quality and overall experience was amazing. We will stop here again when passing on the M5 as it was fantastic! Great basic food, nice garden, superb staff all friendly and made you feel valued and welcoming!

Went to the Red Cow recently, after seeing their rating/reviews...we weren't disappointed, food was so good, we went back 3 days later, & had another lovely meal, this time followed by a delicious desert! Excellent food, excellent service & a pleasant atmosphere in the pub. Recommended!

Friendly staff, Decent roast and starter, lovely old traditional pub, did get very busy , glad we booked early

Great food, relaxing atmosphere friendly staff. Nice ales. Everything a great pub needs

Very enjoyable lunch will return

Our first time here and it was a lovely meal. All 4 of us enjoyed our roast dinners

Lovely country pub! Not sure on what exactly makes a large roast bigger than the medium except plate size, also service forgot 2 x drinks orders. Apart from that, everyone was super kind and I look forward to coming next time to give it that extra star!

5 eating, we were made to feel welcome. Food was really good. Old world feel about the place. Would recommend/go back again if in the area. Only downside is that we could not take our dog with us.

Always an excellent range of dishes, perfectly cooked. The roast of the day is a must.

Food delicious, portion size great, staff couldn't have been more helpful. Will definitely be returning.

Had a meal last night with friends and the food was good and delicious. Can recommend the Pavlova and Creme Brulee home made desserts. Friendly staff and good service.

What a shame you can’t get good old fashion fish and chips. Frozen fish gouchons have so little fish in them you can’t see it let alone taste it. Please bring back faggots.

Amazing food for a fair price. The restaurant looks nice too and is great both for family and other. I had the grilled butterfly cut chicken and it was basically perfect. The staff were also really nice.

Just had Sunday lunch, excellent food ,plenty of it good quality, reasonably priced, will be returning again

We stopped off for a quick drink on the way back from a walk. This place is your quintessential country pub. Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Great beer gardens and best of all a really nice pint! Highly recommended.

We have just returned from having a lovely meal. We were last in the area five years ago and my husband remembered the meal we had then so we felt we must return. We were greeted with a very warm welcome and shown to our table. My husband had the gammon with egg and pineapple, mushrooms, tomatoes, peas and chips. My son had the burger with chips and a side of onion rings and I had the Friday special of chicken curry, rice and a poppadom. Clean plates all round. We managed to squeeze in a dessert of salted caramel and chocolate brownie with ice cream. Delicious. The service was excellent too. Highly recommend.

Very welcoming, food excellent as was the service. Highly recommended

Came off the M5 in an effort to find something other than MacDonalds and found this gem. Lovely Lasagne and great service.

Great food quick stopover on way to Devon

Good food great place for lunch. Big car park always good

Excellent service. Would recommend you try this place.

£35 for two meals and two small drinks seems a little on the expensive side, but I haven’t eaten out since before the pandemic

Another great meal. As locals to the village we often eat here as more than anything it is conveniently located within walking distance. However we are very fortunate that the food is good too. There is a wealth of options on the menu (and kids meals) and the odd special. I highly rate the chicken supreme and both lasagnes. My teenager kids also rave about the homemade curry with rice AND chips. If you are wanting pub food in a beautiful setting then I’d recommend here. Portions are large and often too big for me to have dessert but I do recommend the Lemon Curd cheesecake (which I am guilty of taking away!) Only observations is the menu doesn’t change which for a regular would make a nice option. Also if you want to have a drink only, there is little room inside (fine in the summer, but not great in the bad weather).

The food is amazing. Every item on your plate bursts with it's own fresh flavours. Presentation of the food is very good. There isn't a pub atmosphere, more of a eat, drink and leave type of venue. The only critisim I have is the waitress serving us, had the most disgustingly filthy finger nails. Even my husband commented and he doesn't usually notice things like that.

Lovely traditional pub with a friendly welcome. Good food and service.

We were visiting the area last Friday & were recommended this pub by a friend in Burnham-on-sea so went on the off chance there was an available table. We were so lucky as they were nearly fully booked but were happy to show us a couple of available tables to choose from. Kim was our friendly waitress & although it was getting busy, our food was delivered without any delays & piping hot. We had garlic mushrooms to start followed by Gammon egg & chips & ham egg & chips. The desserts board sounded lovely so we had to try & following advice from our waitress we tried the lovely coconut ice cream & raspberry pavlova. Well done to all the friendly staff & chef - they worked tirelessly on a busy Friday lunchtime & we would wholeheartedly recommend this lovely pub.
