Cow & Sow (Clifton)

Amazing place for an exceptional meal. Staff all fantastic. We was celebrating our son’s graduation 👨‍🎓 he received a glass of bubbly on arrival. Lovely atmosphere very busy which is good to see. Chef is amazing!! best steak cooked to perfection . We had the porterhouse for 2. Taste amazing and we are a family of butchers so we know our meat. Highly recommend this place. 5 stars from us

2 of my three visits have had overdone steak. One of which was very very overdone. That was today. 900g porterhouse ordered to share in medium rare. It arrived well done, and in some places even more than well done. So much so that it was hard to chew and very dry. Most pieces were at medium-well to well done, with the edge pieces very very well done. about 3 pieces were pinkish but in the mouth were still tough and dry overall. Another time visiting here, the steak was cooked only slightly over, but acceptable. The third time was in the city centre branch, in a party of 6, where everyone's steaks came overdone by at least one level. Today, since we had already waited 45minutes for the food we couldn't be bothered to send it back for a new one and just dealt with it. A £25 discount was given for this as the server did see that it was too well done, but honestly, it should have been offered for free given its state. I cannot recommend this steakhouse, and won't be returning. There are better and more reliable options elsewhere. Before today I was willing to give another chance and thought it was just bad luck, but after three chances it seems to be a pattern. For £10.50 per 100g, this is unacceptable really. Crispy Squid starter was great though.

Lovely setting, smart decor and delicious steak and chips. Finished it off with caramel tart and ice cream. It was a very rare lavish lunch on a weekday afternoon but I'd finished work and was heading for the weekend! A great experience, made to feel welcome and had a chance to relax. Will definitely be back.

Our first time visiting and wow what an experience!! The food was incredible, we highly recommend the sharing platter as a starter! We have been to lots of places and the way the sauces complimented the food was delicious! The only small downside was my fillet did have fat running through it which I personally don’t like but everything else was spot on perfect! The desserts are to die for & the cocktails are delicious. Thank you to our lovely server Bec’s she was so friendly & chatty, a real asset to your company. We look forward to coming back!

Lily was out server that night. She was absolutely lovely, courteous and polite when seating us. Lily informed us after we were seated about the wait times and the reason for this. She gave great advice about the appetiser to person ratio. We didn't have to wait around for her to come back for our orders. She checked in about the food and cleared the empty plates without being asked to. She informed us any complaints and compliments about the food would be past on to the chef. By far the best server we have had visiting steak houses. The food was amazing as well. The fried squid was the best appetiser ordered. The ribs and pork belly were good too. We ordered 2 flower onions, one came golden brown and the other a little burnt but still edible. The drinks were really good. The kids menu had good choices and great portions. Filled my 7 Yr old and cleaned the plate, which doesn't happen often. I would definitely recommend and we will definitely visit the Clifton branch again. Lily recommended the roast dinner.

My friends and I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was exceptional, and the staff made us feel right at home with their warmth and friendliness. The Sunday roast dishes were perfectly cooked and outstanding also bursting with flavour. We had a range of starters and the selection was delicious. The BBQ pork ribs, were irresistibly tender and rich in flavor. We arrived 15 minutes early and the staff were very flexible with my booking. Overall, this is an outstanding place to eat. Thank you to all the staff for their excellent service.

Great night. The food was excellent but it was the service that stood out. Evie was fab at looking after us and explaining things throughout. We got the food we wanted and enjoyed my birthday all the more for it. Thank you Evie!

I had a great dining experience at this restaurant. The food is excellent, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The steak, especially the sirloin, was amazing—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The fillet portion was a bit small, but the taste made up for it. My favorite part of the meal was the starter—BBQ pork ribs, which were tender and packed with flavor. Another plus is the flexible booking; we arrived early and were accommodated without any issues. Overall, a fantastic place to eat! Served by Estelle and Meg and the bartender.
