The Red Cow in Blaby

Class pub, really nice vibe, lovely staff and the pint lineup is top notch

Food typical bar food but staff very friendly and our regular waiter Andy as funny and friendly as ever. Dog friendly.

Ate here last night. Booking, staff and atmosphere were all absolutely fine. We ordered the set menu. Starters were impressive. Both well presented and flavours were great. We had the crispy sticky chicken and scallops. We were impressed at this point. The mains arrived and it was a disaster. My wife has the risotto which was basically a child's portion on a massive plate. The crispy spinach was nice but there wasn't much. I had the "Hunter’s Chicken Schnitzel" which looked terrible, was over cooked and again small. I think I had 15 chips on my plate. I'm not quite sure how the starters could be SO good and the mains be SO bad. Desserts: the only appealing one on the menu was unavailable. All in all we spent £70 (including 2 glasses of wine). Maybe it was too busy. Maybe they switched chefs halfway through. I've no idea. Not sure I'd try again to be honest. For the price if it's cheap, dirty pub food it's expensive. If it's nicer gastro pub type stuff the mains were a disaster but the starters perfect.

Came here with my partner last night really enjoyed the service the food added to an amazing night had a amazing experience at this pub all the staff very friendly will definitely be coming again a good pub to visit

Had a lovely meal and met the lovely Libby who served us. Will definitely be returning. Good food and lovely atmosphere.

Libby was so nice who served us, so bubbly and such a nice pleasant welcome and service from her. She is great!

really nice food. Great atmosphere. Was served by Libby who helped a lot! Will definitely come back

Had a lovely meal and was served by the lovely Libby she was so lovely and was so smiley and bubbly will definitely be back.

Have a lovely meal at the cow, the weekend treat was a great deal, special shout out to Gemma and Shaun for great services.

The food was great, definitely recommend the buttermilk chicken burger! We were served by the lovely Julie, who was very kind to us from the minute we walked in! We didn't have a booking, but were sat down and had our order taken very quickly, making sure that we had no dietary restrictions or allergies. Julie's customer service was spot on! Had a really nice time :)

Really great experience at the Red Cow in Leicester, we booked for 5 of us for Mother's Day, we had 3 courses and all delicious. I had the lamb roast dinner which was cooked beautifully. Our main waitress Neve was efficient, friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff - will definitely visit again.

For year I have been let down by successive restaurants and pubs. I’ve been to too many places and have left disappointed or worse, in tears. I was starting to lose faith in the power of a good restaurant/pub. Until I came to the red cow. It was like seeing the light. Great food, good service, amazing atmosphere. Special mention to the waitress piper who was very helpful and gave me a very good menu recommendation. I will definitely be returning again, with everyone I know. The gospel of the red cow needs to be spread!

Came here on a very busy night during the week… service was very good and the food was great! Staff are always chatty and attentive.

I had previously sat in the red cow with my wife and daughter having a drink at a table next to the bar, my wife and daughter left and I had another drink, I saw them out and when I came back in my table had gone. I brought another drink and was then told I could not sit at a table, the restaurant was a 1/4 full, and the bar was totally full. I was told I could not have a seat as it's a restaurant, even though there were so many tables available, the bar was completely full, I have just come away from a post snapped patellar tendon operation, and the middle aged lady basically said I can't sit down, I explained the bar was full, her reply was I haven't been in there so I don't know! Being a local, I would never spend a penny in there again. Plenty more local public houses that can have my money. Rude and obnoxious

I had a brilliant time at the red cow and our server Neve provided amazing service and was very efficient. Will definitely return.

Had a great night dining with my partner. Impeccable service and very tasty food. Great spot in Leicester.

Food was amazing, service from piper was amazing! Lovely atmosphere

One of the worst experiences of a meal out we've had. Far too expensive for what we had. Roast beef dinner. Tiny . 3 slices of beef (a lot of fat), 4 chewy golf ball sized roast potatoes that tasted old, 1 small carrot chopped in half a Yorkshire pudding and a small bowl of over done cabbage and brocolli that was between 2 adults would not go again.

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.

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??

Had the Beef burger really good quality and affordable

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

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

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

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

Fantastic service! Food was delicious

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!

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

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

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!

Great atmosphere and amazing service from our waiter!

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....

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 .

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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
