This place was beyond incredible!!! We ordered the Red cow Mixed Grill and the selection of food was phenomenal. The flavours of each of the foods was distinct and delicious. The service was extremely friendly and everyone who worked there was brilliant. I highly suggest booking a table beforehand on the weekend because we went the night before and it was packed. Overall, I highly suggest this restaurant for a an incredible meal and a fun time!!!
Went on a Thursday evening to the Red cow. Thought the worst as there was 1 table occupied by diners. How wrong we were! We went for the ‘fat cow’ chilli chips, masala chips, lollipop chicken, chilli lollipops and 3 naans. We asked for the chips and naans to be upgraded on the fat cow as it only comes with plain but it was lost in translation so we got 3 plain naans and 2 chips additional to what we wanted. The fat cow grill itself was sensational. Lamb chops - great taste, perfect amount of charring. All the chicken was juicy and full of flavour. Fish pakora - nice light batter, lots of meaty fish. The chilli chips were unreal, so so good! Definitely recommend them with the chilli lollipops. Certainly no scrimping on the portions! The only slight criticism is the grill wasn’t sizzling when it came out but it was on a oven tray as it was so big! It says on the menu it serves 8-10, there was 5 of us and we were all stuffed. Would definitely go back, be great to go when it’s busy. One of the best mixed grills we’ve all had, up there with Champys, new hen and chickens etc. Update… we went back for our Xmas mixy, again quiet inside in the dining area but the mixy was first class. Had the 42 fat cow again. Was 6 of us, with 2 cobras to top it off we were all stuffed. The chilli chips and chilli lollipop are a must. Chips are battered and covered in chilli sauce…. Unbeatable! Football was on prime too! Thanks red cow for rounding off this year with a class mixy!
My first time at this place. It is a traditional style pub with pool tables and a dart board. They even serve a pint of mild. The staff are friendly. Get a pint, sit down, look at the menu and order your food. There is a very good selection on the Menu. The Mixed Grill came in 5 sizes. We had a Red Cow mixed grill, Chicken Balti, Lamb Kadai, Lamb Keema with Aloo. Sides were Pilau Rice, Naan, Roti and Chips. The mixed grill is one of the best I've tasted in a long time. Nothing on the platter was charred black like you would find in some desi pubs. The the meat was tender and flavourful. The curries were on par with most places except for the Lamb Keema with Aloo where it was very salty. We brought this to their attention and was quickly resolved. The prices were reasonable. Good value for money. I also ordered 2 Butter Chickens and 2 Naans to take home for the kids. Normally most places serve the Butter Chicken as mild, but this one had a bit of a kick to it. It was still very tasty, but unfortunately one of the kids couldn't handle the heat. This is a mental note for me in the future. The question is...Would we return? Yes... Especially for the mixed grill.
A proper desipub, excellent food and service value for money The goat curry,dal and pakoras are a must try
The most friendly pub / Desi I have been in by far. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome,Food was 5***** We will be back !!
Food was unreal and incredible value Service was good, had a laugh with the server while ordering
Everything I'd hoped and more. Food fantastic, everything is well priced and staff are friendly. Revisit May 2024, it's still awesome.
We went to the wedding of my friend Narinder's son Sandeep at the Heritage Banqueting Suite at the Red Cow The food and service were excellent with the waiters and bar staff being very attentive and catering for our every need. I'd would certainly recommend the Heritage Banqueting Suite for anyone wishing to hold a wedding as the service, food and atmosphere were excellent
