The Red Cow in Blaby

Food was fantastic! Highly recommend, staff was wonderful, attentive not intrusive Will definitely will be back

Anniversary dinner, great choices on menu ,service quick , food presentation excellent and tasty 😋 well done everyone ...

We now go to the Red Cow to celebrate important family milestones because of the great service and equally great food. Especially important is the wide spaces between tables, ensuring peace, quiet, and privacy. A wonderful experience, overall.

Wife and I , with a Swiss visitor ( our dog too) went for a meal this evening. Totally enjoyed it. Also a big thank you to the lady behind bar , who looked for my mobile, but due to a very senior moment , i hadn't even took it with me. Thought my wife's phone was mine. Lol

We use the Red Cow on a Wednesday after football. Great food and beer. Staff always friendly. Thanks to Kam and the hole team.

Good food, great beer selection. Nice vibe. Our new local. Lovely staff.

Had the Beef burger really good quality and affordable

Recently visited and have to say I was disheartened with regards to how our desserts turned out. The main course had been fantastic and my group had enjoyed each of our choices. When I looked at the dessert menu, nothing was grabbing my attention. It's mainly the standard choices that the majority of restaurants offer. One of the party had asked for a gluten-free menu which was presented to us on a tablet. He had clocked something which sounded amazing - White Chocolate Bombe (I think it was called). We both decided to pick this. The order came out relatively quickly, but something seemed wrong. Our desserts were distinctly orange in colour and appeared the same as one of our friends, who had order the Chocolate Orange Delight. I had to quickly speak up in case they had given us the wrong order. I was right! The waitress decided to then let us know that the White Chocolate Bombe was no longer an option and it was the Chocolate Orange one instead. I was left aghast because it would have made a lot more sense to let us know before bringing them out. It was also concerning that nothing had been said even when they did hand out the desserts. In other words, they had changed our choices, then expected us to accept them. I'm not a fan of chocolate orange so refused to have it, especially at nearly £9. The waitress took it away and asked if there was something I would like instead. Earlier on, I had spotted a promising pudding on the Weekend Special Menu - Chocolate Trio. In light of the mistake, they had made, I thought it wouldn't have been too unreasonable to ask if I could get that. I was told that as none of the group had had another course from that menu, that they couldn't do that choice for me. By this point, I was feeling deflated and I ended up without a pudding whilst my friends tucked into theirs. For me, the whole dessert section of the night was handled badly. If you can't offer an item which a customer has asked for, then you've got to tell them straight the way. It doesn't make any sense to give them an alternative without warning. It doesn't come across well to not mention that what you're giving out is different. As the wrong dessert had been served to me, would it then be thrown out, or was it given to another customer later in the evening??

Went in for lunch the other day and from the get go was a great experience, from the food to the service highly recommend!

Amazing service and food from the whole team! Thank you Red Cow!

Shared a pleasant evening here recently, a bite to eat followed by an hour or so in the bar. Good bar staff don’t get the credit they deserve. Kam, forgive me if it’s Cam, was first class. Quick, multitasking, polite and new who was next to be served, which is a pet hate of mine, definitely go back.

Lovely pub, cosy bar area with real open fires & dining area. I go with my 2 teenagers fairly regularly & consistently get great food & service, can recommend the fish & chips especially! Staff lovely, friendly and efficient, shout out to Gemma who helped us on the last visit

Fantastic service! Food was delicious

Had a lovely meal tonight, food and service was fantastic!

I've just had a meal at the Red Cow and Julie looked after me while I was eating. She was lovely and very attentive and the food was great.

Lovely valentines meal at the red cow couldn’t recommend it more! Thank you for such a lovely experience

Lovely place for delicious food!

Really good food. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Compliments to the chef

Fantastic food & a lovely pub really enjoyed it 5*****

Second time eating here. Food very nice. Service very good. The place is very clean. Seems to get very busy so best booking a table. Would definitely recommend.

Great Sunday lunch for 10 of us. The ale choice and quality was notable. The food service was prompt and high quality. Not the cheapest place but perfect for a celebration

Good food. Beer could be better.

Love this pub! Such a great atmosphere and food is terrific. Absolutely amazing from Tom - such a friendly guy and great service. The food provided is outstanding.

Great atmosphere, good seating indoors and outdoors, friendly staff, delicious food. Would highly recommend couldn’t ask for anything more!

Lovely old pub. Menu choice poor. And expensive for pub food Menu doesn't represent pub food either in my opinion Food itself not great - we only had few sides because nothing on main menu appealed.. apart from fries everything else weird tasting Really didn't enjoy....

Great atmosphere and amazing service from our waiter!

Food could have been hotter. There was no suggestion when we booked or when we arrived that they wanted our table later on, so that came as a bit of a surprise

It's a lovely pub but find the food and drink very expensive v!!

Had a lovely meal here recently, lovely atmosphere and friendly attentive staff ☺️

Visited recently and really enjoyed the food. Service was great! Hannah served me and was incredibly polite and lovely to us the whole time we were there. We will definitely be returning.

We had a very nice meal thank you Great food and drink great atmosphere too

Great pub, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Would 100% recommend 😊

Considering it was very busy the food and service was excellent.

Nice friendly welcome. Service was quick and not hurried. Food was delicious. Perfect visit

Great pub with really lovely bar staff.

1st visit and wasn't disappointed, clean and friendly pub with a good choice of drinks and food. I will update again when I've popped in for a 2nd time. 2nd visit, nice warm welcome. Still a clean and friendly pub with a good choice of drinks and quality well presented food.

We went for sunday roast lunch i had turkey, hubby had beef it was lovely and the allotment fruit crumble with custard. Service was fantastic, booked for valentines day!!

Nice fish & chips. Good service. Even better as we had a 50% off mains voucher.

The food was lovely and the service was great

A lovely pub restaurant and great atmosphere, fantastic food and fast drink service. I had server that took my food/drink order that was really polite.The waitress Yasmin brought my food out she was well mannered, polite and asked if there was anything else that I needed and made sure that I had everything to enjoy my meal.The food I recommend Signature burger .

Weekend menu advertised not available. After ordering drinks and looking at menu informed that 2 items chosen were not available. Feel like we were conned ! Won't be returning again!

Love this place,we come as often as we can to Enjoy just the pint in a Saturday afternoon or book for our a New Year’s Eve meal….was also our first date venue so it holds a special place in our hearts 🥰 keep up the great work and amazing food Mr & mrs Coe

We had Xmas meal which was very nice. Service was good

Great food service and atmosphere Loved it will be going back need to try here . Staff lovely

It's was a set menu with limited choice as it was New Year Eve priced at £47.95. The portion sizes didn't reflect value for money,and one of party had the rib eye steak surf and turf and had to pay a supplement of an extra £4. Overall, vale for money was certainly not met

Booked for Christmas lunch. Welcomed in and shown to table ...Excellent service from friendly and experienced staff. Great food. We were looked after very well. Great to know that homely and comfortable inns still exist. Look forward to our next visit. Would heartily recommend. Thank you to all at Red Cow keep up the good vibes. *****

Strengths: ambiance and deco, service, quality of veg and some meat e.g. turkey. Nice starters but prawn cocktail was still frozen. Improvements: flexibility of manager, recognising that customer comes first and that a resolution is always available, waitress to be trained on customer service or ways to announce a solution (no), cooking (beef overcooked and hard, lamb overcooked hard), most likely left under the lamp! the ability to use the voucher on this first visit.

Had a great night here again with the family when I was home, nice beers and the food was all delicious. Service was friendly

Didn't have the food but looked amazing. Lovely atmosphere and really good bar staff 👏

Good food choice, albeit the venison was a tad tough, very spacious so excellent for larger parties (there were 6 in ours) overall a very good experience, and we will return

A lovely pub restaurant. Reasonably priced dishes for the quality. Friendly and helpful service. Although the pub was busy the wait for food was not unreasonable and drinks service was fast. A lovely place to visit.

I absolutely loved this place. The ambience, the food, the service and specially the fact we being vegetarians, had lot of options to choose from.

Thanks for taking great care of us Andy. Really enjoyed the food and restaurant. Thanks for the movie recommendation 🙂

The food and service was excellent even though it was very busy

The food was lovely, a complaint about the way you cook gtuten free products though, I asked questions about the food and was told the fish and chips were gluten free and then I was told they were all cooked in a fryer with gluten containing foods...this is the first response to that issue I found on Google 'AI Overview Learn more No, gluten-free food should not be cooked in a fryer with gluten products because gluten cross-contact can occur' The same tools will be used, its crazy and they are 'not gluten free' I settled for the slow roast pork and it was delicious. My husband and daughter had the turkey roast and said the same, they really enjoyed it. The later part of the service was somewhat spoiled by the at least half an hour wait for dessert. The waitress 'who was lovely' said a large party had come in, I get that but we were actually getting up to leave when it was brought, along with some water for my daughter which they had forgotten.

We visited to try the festive menu for my wife's birthday. For starters we enjoyed BAKED SCALLOPS & KING PRAWNS and KING PRAWN & SMOKED SALMON COCKTAIL. Both were delicious and the scallops were very well cooked For our main course 2 of us had the 10oz RIB-EYE STEAK and 2 the HAND-CARVED TURKEY BREAST with all the trimmings (after adding a bowl of pigs in blankets). Whilst both our steaks were cooked a little more than the medium rare we requested, they were both extremely tasty and complimented by the peppercorn & beef dripping sauces. The 2 turkey orders were also very well cooked and presented, still succulent and the vegetables extremely tasty. For desert between we had 2 SALTED CARAMEL PROFITEROLES, a STICKY TOFFEE CHRISTMAS PUDDING and a BRAMLEY APPLE & MINCE PIE CRUMBLE. Each of us enjoyed what we'd ordered and my wife and I shared the 2 hot puddings and both agreed the apple and mince pie crumble was the best! Service was great, unrushed yet attentive. Checking we were ok and needed anything throughout. The atmosphere in the Red Cow is really good and it was clean throughout. A great experience and we'll certainly be returning soon.

Had a brilliant lunch with the family, everyone enjoyed what they had, it was all delicious and the staff are all very friendly

Now more of a middle of the road food joint than a local pub. Plenty of parking. Outdoor decking for summer time. Cosy winter fire and great coffee

Had a fabulous time at the cow food and the drinks were amazing and I just want to say a special thank you to Gemma for recommending the lamb dish and also couldn't fit everything in so did and take away dessert.

Came and had our wedding here, the team team was absolutely amazing and the food was great. Will definitely be back thanks again.

Lovely evening spent at the red cow… the aubergine gratin was delicious! Would recommend

Love the new menu items especially the lamb shank its a total winner…. Looking forward to the Christmas menu.

We had to return the starter as not as advertised, we ordered baked Camembert and it wasn’t it was just some other flavourless stringy baked cheese . The chicken burger was more like the chicken schnitzel on the menu put onto a bun so it was thin , over cooked and greasy . Didn’t want to complain on the night as it was my sons birthday meal .

Chai Tea a winner. Very genial attentive staff and food always good 👍

Nice food and service. Loved the pie of the day - chicken and leek. The only issue we had was it was cold in the pub- asked for heating to be put on but not sure it did - lovely fire place and wooden logs but not used. Been great on a cold night like tonight had they have lit the fire - some people sat in their coats. Spoilt the evening. In the main bar they did have a nice fire going.

Wow! We came to the Red Cow Saturday night and was blown away by the quality of the food. I had the Pork Belly which was melt-in-mouth goodness - honestly so tasty! My wife and her dad had the fish and chips - the fish was big and tasty! My MIL had a gammon steak which she enjoyed. My only gripes - service was on the slow side and we were there fairly early (6pm table) so it wasn't crazy busy at this time. We didn't mind as we loved the atmosphere and setting but we were also very hungry. Also, the portion of the sides that came with the mains was tiny! I had dauphinoise potato with my Pork Belly and it was such a small square of food, whilst the chips that came with the fish and gammon was around 6 per person (admittedly they were BIG chips). I appreciate its more of a quality over quantity kind of place, but for feedback only please consider portion sizes for the chips/potato's! Despite this we had a really good time and would definitely come back again - we'd probably just have to order an extra side of chips and divvy them out to the table.

We’ve eaten here many times and I’ve ordered the pizza probably 4 times previously but today it was dreadful. The base was so thin and dry, there was hardly any tomato topping or cheese, the extra toppings of mushrooms and chillies would have fitted on a teaspoon. I could only eat about half of it. I mentioned it at the end only to be told that I should have said something at the beginning, but that would have meant me eating alone as my family would have finished their meal before a fresh pizza had arrived. The point is that if the chef should be able to recognise that this was substandard. To be fair, the other two meals were very good and met the usual good standard of the Red Cow.

Had a great night at the cow, staff are really friendly and the drink was great and will be back in the future, well done everyone

Had a wonderful family dinner with all the gang, good was great quality, atmosphere was a good vibe and the staff are so helpful. We had a couple of allergies and they looked after them really well.

Always amazing at the the red cow, bank holiday weekend staff are great Tia, Hannah , jamie and Gemma well done.

Red Cow is a really nice pub, great for a couple of drinks in front of the fires. Staff are nice and always have a smile for you when you walk in.

Great pub, friendly staff, amazing food. Really enjoy each visit they never let you down and with the fires on during winter it’s so cute

Lovely afternoon spent at The Red Cow… the food was sensational and the service was brilliant! Have become a total regular here, they never let me down with the service.

Had another great family get together at the red cow… service was friendly, the food was delicious especially the desserts… totally a wow! Worth a visit.

One of my favourite pubs to hang out in at winter with roaring fires, great food and always brilliant service from the guys. Thanks

Had a lovely time at the red cow, we were served by Gemma. All the food was lovely and enjoyed by all. I had the signature burger

Friendly local pub serving great food in a welcoming and cosy atmosphere.

Love coming in here for a pint after a long dog walk. So nice to find somewhere that welcomes my dog as much if not more than me!

the new menu is really good… loved the new look lamb dish it was delicious

Lovely food and atmosphere with another fantastic visit to the pub… food cooked to perfection.

Great food, not much options for vegetarians. All in all nice place to chill.

There was a great big dog walking around if I wanted to drink with a dog I would have stayed at home with my own

Fish and chips were fantastic! Fish was really well battered and the chips were so nice and crispy! Really lovely atmosphere aswell!

Our first visit to the Red Cow, it will not be our last. First impressions count and this did not disappoint. Brilliant atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, well kept and presented cask ale, and great food. I will now apologise to Sean, who must've thought 'we've got one here' when I asked to speak to the duty manager. I just wanted to say a personal thank you to the person running such a great service. Thank you all.

Fui a la vaca roja para un gran almuerzo con mi hijo, menú para niños tiene un montón de opciones y la comida es de buena calidad. Vale la pena intentarlo si eres la zona. El personal es agradable.

We went to The Red Cow for lunch on Sunday. The place was not busy but there were long waits for food, by the time two of our party got their starters the rest had almost finished theirs. Cutlery was less than clean when brought out to us with food clearly stuck to it. There was a reasonable amount on the plate, it was ok apart from the cold, undercooked steamed veg and the chewy, rubbery roast potatoes that were way too firm in the middle. Half of our party left most of their main meal uneaten. I would have ordered another starter for my main meal if I'd have realised how disappointing the rest was going to be. While desserts are subjective to taste however, most of our party opted out. General round up: For food - Overpriced and undercooked with slow service. For drinks/snacks - A nice place with friendly, helpful staff.

Lovely to see Gemma again. She never lets us down on her service! Food was great. Can’t wait to come back 💖

Had a lovely meal service from Gemma A was brilliant and friendly couldn’t ask for better.

Fantastic food and great service. Well looked after and nothing was to much to ask for. Along with the food a fantastic night out and atmosphere from our waitres Erin. Nice to see someone happy at work

Had a Lovely meal The waiter Andy was very nice and friendly made us feel welcome will deffo be returning

Had a lovely evening. Amazing service from Andy he was very friendly and chatty and made us feel very welcome :)

Warm, friendly atmosphere and staff. Food ordered delicious and very reasonably priced.

Always love the red cow, the service is great, the food is delicious and you can’t beat a pub with an open fire on a cold day.

Great stop for a lunch. The battered haddock was fabulous!

Got looked after by a lovely waitress Hannah Very professional courteous and helpful, nothing was to much trouble.

Being our local, favourite and ‘Goto Pub’, rather than cook we decided to go for a nice meal having been many times this year. However, the usual customer experience we are used to had vanished and replaced with the worst Customer Service we have encountered for a very long time. On entering the pub, our reception was less than welcoming. We wondered if the person seating people was having a bad day. We were shown to our table and ordered food/drinks in a timely manner. When the food arrived, we asked for a new salt pot as ours was damp and no salt was coming out. The dark haired girl serving us said, ‘Well if you unscrew the top you can get to the salt that way’, and abruptly walked off. We asked again and were told, ‘Well they are all like that’ and again abruptly walked off. Annoyed by this, I went up to the dark haired girl at the till who was showing a new girl how things are done and told her she can have her faulty salt pot, and her customer service was appalling. Ten minutes later and at the end of our meal she appeared with a little dish with salt in it, we think trying to make a point. Even more annoying and rude. We finished our meal almost immediately, paid (was asked if we would like to leave a tip – I did think of a few choice words), and left Next day, I cancelled our Christmas Day booking that we were looking forward to, with a lame excuse ‘ Having to Work’ as there was not enough space to enter this review. It means that I will lose my deposit (I doubt the Red Cow will read this and refund it), but we cannot risk having our Christmas Day ruined by awful customer service again. I also strongly begrudge spending £300 on Christmas Day at such an unwelcoming place. We will now take our business elsewhere. I do hope the owners of this establishment read this as we were so upset, annoyed and let down. I wish I could give it less than 1 out of 5.

Came here with family after a 60 years celebration for lunch. Dad and auntie had the lamb rump and I had a signature burger which was very nice. Dad and I had a dessert. The only thing I moan about they give you a napkin for the mains but they don’t give you one when they bring out the desserts. But the staff was excellent on their work.

food was great, amazing service. hallumi fries were to die for and so was the mac and cheese. woukd definitely recommend

Great service atmosphere and food

had a fantastic lunch with the family everything was great
