The Spotted Cow

Came here one weekend! Busy! Nice atmosphere. Large outside beer garden. The food was good. Recommend the pork belly with noodles.

Lovely food, great beer garden and nicely decorated internally. The customer service was great and there was plenty of variety in the menu. I would recommend booking a table in advance if you’re planning on eating.

We came here for the pub quiz and disco bingo but once we stepped inside, we really liked the ambiance and the set up outside. We weren't originally planning to get food but something enticed us to....We ordered the calamari and hummus small plates but they came out massive and we were impressed by both the size and taste....We really enjoyed the service, the food and of course the quiz and bingo! We said we will be coming back to try out some more food!

Fantastic roast, great local pub with a lot of open space and somehow feels cosy! Really good food, the beef roast was excellent! Really nice vibe in The Spotted Cow. perfect for people of all ages. A fantastic garden put the back which is bound to become a regular spot for us in the warmer months!

Sho & the team at the spotted cow made my partners 30th birthday celebrations completely unforgettable! I liaised with her to book a table (for a large group, and just for drinks on a Saturday night), I got speedy replies and nothing was too much hassle. They were so accommodating to the group, allowed me to come in early to drop off a balloon and cake, and even set them up for us before we got there so it was a surprise. I’d 100% recommend the spotted cow to anyone who was thinking of booking.

Came for Sunday roast for the first time in 5 years (often in for a pint though). Staff were super helpful and managed to squeeze us (2xadults 2x kids) in despite not technically taking walk ins, food was delicious (we all had the beef - the gravy was divine), everything came out quickly and service was faultless. Children’s portion v v generous. A shame the yorkies were slightly overdone and the cauli cheese overpriced for what it was. Still, by miles one of the best roasts I’ve had in Bristol! Was too excited to get an aesthetic pic.

Pretty good roast but I don’t recommend ordering the caramelised onion & goats cheese bake - although it’s really tasty, it’s really small. (You can see me lifting it with my fork in the photo.) The potatoes in the roast are pretty meh, the Yorkshire puddings were overdone and the cauliflower cheese was tasteless with undercooked cauliflower. That said, the veg and gravy were really lovely, atmosphere was great and customer service was excellent.

Fantastic pub! Food is exceptional pub grub. Chicken pasta was delicious and the pasta was homemade which really made a difference. Macaroni was also delicious as it had a punchy cheese flavour. This dish is hard to get right in a restaurant and they smashed it! Sausage and mash was comforting and very much enjoyed. Wine is tasty and reasonable (a nice French White only £19!). The atmosphere in here is always warm and inviting.
