Shellfish Cow Restaurant & Bar in South Oxfordshire

Love this restaurant!! The interior is so cute and the food is fantastic! I love this style of dining where you share food. It is the English version of tapas - 'pick and mix'!!

I generally don’t like writing bad reviews, but my experience at this restaurant was atrocious to say the least. Burnt and bitter steak, dry old scallops, terrible cocktails. Maybe their chef just had a bad day, but I have no idea how one can spoil their food so much. On top of that, as soon as you enter, you’re greeted with an awful smell downstairs. Very disappointed, as I’d love to have a great seafood restaurant somewhere nearby. This is not the one.

Go there for an extravagant meal and bring an XXL wallet. Staff extra nice and attentive - and you'll need them to navigate the menu. Have a lobster. It's great fun but we won't be regulars.

This is the loveliest restaurant. Looking outside I wondered how we would have space to eat and then realised there’s 3 storey’s! Amazing service and to die for food! Savoured every mouthful. Would certainly recommend and will be visiting again.

Attentive staff and excellent food. My favourite were the butterflied prawns with hot sauce (tasted like a bit like buffalo) but all the dishes were fantastic. Its not cheap, but nowhere selling decent shellfish and steak is.

What a very unusual and enjoyable evening.. Taking my partner for a surprise evening out was surprisingly different and thoroughly enjoyable. The food was excellent as was the service. The surroundings were as unusual as the style of the meal, which was a shared selection of shellfish and steak. Every dish was cooked perfectly, although we are out of practice eating crab.. we were given all the right tools to enjoy every morsel. The steak was tender and tasted wonderful. Mussels were equally tasty, and the seafood popcorn was delicious.This was topped off with a portion of chips and fresh bread, both were equally of the same high standard.Highly recommended.

Great, fantastic food and drink. Superb service, very friendly staff. The best food my wife and I have had out on a date night for a very long time. So difficult to find a restaurant still serving fantastic, high quality food with the service to match. Fantastic team, great meal out. Will definitely return again. Lovely setting.

Very attentive service, lovely crisp glass of Chablis and exquisite dinner. The steak is Himalayan aged with a Stilton sauce which wasn’t overpowering and served with delicate greens and crispy chips.

We had our anniversary dinner here since we both love sea food. We had an absolutely amazing experience. The food was so good. The steak perfect. The molluscs so delicious. The bread, the dessert. Best!

Outstanding food and service. We were very well looked after and provided thorough information regarding food options and allergy concerns. Lobster, Prawns, Scallops and Mussels were amazing. Will visit again. Regards, Sat.
