The Old Red Cow

Independent pub The Old Red Cow is rated as one of the best boozers in the city. The pub’s black and red exterior with traditional lamps hanging outside is instantly eye-catching. The venue’s interior is also decorative without being overwhelming. Leaves and flowers trail over the bar and the floral theme is continued with the boldly-patterned wallpaper. The whole space is simple but comfortable and the service is friendly and welcoming.

If you’re popping into the pub for a drink, you can choose from varied local and international draft beers, as well as spirits and wine. The bar offers a concise list of bottles from top wine-growing regions around the world including Argentina, Australia, and France. If you’re looking for some food to go with a drink, the hearty menu served here is sure to satisfy. Indulge in pub favourites like ham and eggs or a ploughman’s lunch, burgers topped off with tempting ingredients, or a choice of six different pies. For something a little lighter, check out the selection of sandwiches with mouthwatering fillings like sausage and onions or fish fingers.

The Old Red Cow is also a popular choice if you’re planning a party or event. This pub has a private function room above the main bar that’s suitable for a range of occasions, including small weddings and corporate events. If you’re after some entertainment when you visit this pub, live sport is shown in the main bar. This venue might be simple but over the years it’s built up an enviable reputation.
