The Red Cow - Sedgemoor

The food and service were excellent. The steak was much better than a famous steak restaurant chain. The homemade coleslaw was delicious and the desserts were fantastic, especially the salted caramel brownie. I will definitely be returning. Great job to all the staff!

I am disappointed to write this negative review after enjoying many wonderful meals at the Red Cow in Brent Knoll over the last 15 years. Like many pubs and restaurants, they faced challenges during the pandemic, but they returned with improved food and hospitality. However, our recent experience for Sunday roast on 26/11/23 was disappointing. The selection was limited, with no starters available, and the turkey and lamb were tough to eat. Additionally, the vegetables were undercooked. Unfortunately, we do not plan on returning in the near future.

We went to this restaurant for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. The staff were helpful and friendly. It's a very popular place, so we recommend booking in advance. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Arrived at 2:30 hoping for drinks only and were met at entrance by a staff member who told us in no uncertain terms that they were closing at 3 but we could have a drink in the garden. We felt very unwelcome. No option to have a quick drink indoors, couldn't be served in the main bar, we were made to go around the corner to the garden service bar area under strict instructions that we'd have to leave soon. Frankly, it doesn't take more than 30 minutes to enjoy a pint. Most disappointing.

Excellent experience! Highly recommended! Ok it’s a little strange, the decor is dated but immaculately clean and the place is just a little bit out of the ordinary, however the personal welcome, the food quality and overall experience was amazing. We will stop here again when passing on the M5 as it was fantastic! Great basic food, nice garden, superb staff all friendly and made you feel valued and welcoming!
