The Spotted Cow in Bristol

Great atmosphere but the aubergine veggie burger was very disappointing - undercooked and not enough for the price. It's 2022, veggie burgers need to do more than throw some salad into some bread and call it a day.

A proper pub, with a decent sized beer garden in a good location. Well kept beers and classic 'pub food'

With superb steaks and chops and great cocktails, The Spotted Cow is the place to go for a truly excellent dinner.

Benny and the rest of the staff always give me a nice warm welcome when I'm there drunken or sober🤣 haven't tried the food but omg the nachos look maud good! Sad that they dont have wild Turkey rare breed tho :(

Have had such great meals here and beers.Definitely a fan of the roast and would come again for that - especially now that we moved even closer!Really love the back garden vibes and it’s always worth a trip for a pint or two.

Sunday roast was totally overrated, cold and disappointing.We were super excited to eat at The Spotted Cow after managing to get a reservation on the Monday for the Sunday. With the place being often fully booked out for a roast we had high expectations...and at £15 a plate we thought it would be pretty good.However despite being some of the first people to have roast on the Sunday as we booked a 12:30 table, we couldn't have been more disappointed with our meal.The meat was cold and very fatty ( we both had beef). The potatoes tasted like grease as did the roasted vegetables; they also lacked any texture that you would expect from roasted vegetables. And the rest of the vegetables and the Yorkshire puddings were cold.We also treated ourselves to a cauliflower cheese which was also bitter disappointment. It just didn't taste cheesy.Typically my partner and I would send the food back, but there was so much fundamentally wrong with it that we didn't bother and just agreed to never go back. It felt like the chef probably didn't taste the food or just didn't care what it tasted like before sending it out to guests.We also noticed that staff coming into the garden didn't take any time to clear away plates or clean down surfaces.So why did we give it 2 stars? Well there were loads of beer and cider options on tap and the beer garden they had was really nice. That was the only plus side so we've given them a star each for that. That being said the drinks are really expensive.All in all I would say The Spotted Cow is probably alright to go out for a few pints with your parents but I really wouldn't take anyone there for a roast. If you've got 15 quid to spare and enough money for £5+ a pint you're better off staying at home and making yourself a really decent roast.

Fabulous food at very reasonable prices, delicious and beautifully presented. Friendly and helpful staff too, I asked for a slight change to the dish I wanted and they were happy to accommodate.

The Spotted Cow seemed to be a very cosy pub, with a lovely beer garden. The waiters were very kind and helpful! Extra point for them. I had a "Work in the pub" deal, which was a bargain for a tenner. The sandwich was so tasty, I devoured it before I could take a picture... I do recommend this place!

Quiet when I arrived here late lunchtime on a wet Wednesday, but having eaten elsewhere, I wish I hadn't.This establishment has a sophisticatedly decorated interior in grey and cream with black vinyl settles, an interesting menu and six real ale hand pumps all accredited with the Cask Marque certificate.The atmosphere also is more refined and salubrious.

We popped into The Spotted Cow for some lunch and had a lovely time. The service was great - they were really friendly and gave lots of information about their beers and Sunday lunch offer (which we’ll definitely be back for). Also great helping me with my allergy requirements!We had fish finger sarnies for £6 each and the quality / taste was delicious. All ingredients locally sourced and they have their own growing garden upstairs for herbs etc.Lots of seating and a lovely back garden with plenty of space too.
