The Red Cow Bar, Pub in Derby

Reviews

   First visit back in two years, and what a transformation! It used to be far from my first choice, but the changes are incredible. The food, staff, atmosphere, and furnishings have all been taken to a whole new level, making this pub a genuinely welcoming place to be. Between the local options, it’s the Red Cow every time. The staff were attentive, the food was spot-on, and the whole experience was excellent. A huge well done to the Red Cow team for bringing a great village pub back to life.

   A warm welcome and very tasty food at this friendly old Allestree village pub. The fajitas were delicious, as was the apple crumble. We were served by the irrepressible Luca, whose openness and sense of fun made this birthday dinner even more special! All the best for the future, Luca.

   The red cow is a traditional and characterful pub with a great atmosphere. We were greeted by a very warm welcome the minute we walked through the door and received excellent service throughout. The menu is honest, hearty and very varied with something for everyone. We have only just discovered the place and have already visited twice in one week. Having eaten off both the specials and main menu we were very impressed by the quality of the food, very fresh, flavoursome and perfectly cooked. We will be back!

   Usually avoid this local pub because of poor beer and service in the past but going for a impromptu meal with friends from Scotland we were very pleased with the beer, the 4 meals and the excellent waiting on staff. We'll done - will be back.

   Very poor food and service. I was part of a group of 35 or so for a pre-booked and pre-ordered meal. We arrived 4.30, the time agreed. The last members of the party were not served until 7oclock! A number of diners including my wife had ordered lamb shank. Hers was red raw inside, she sent it back,and I know several people sent theirs back too. The Red Cow management had received the pre order some 3 weeks before, so there is no excuse for not having enough properly cooked lamb shanks. The meals were awful. My Turkey meal had rock hard roast potatoes and virtually uncooked slivers of carrot and parsnip. Many diners said the same.Even the Christmas pudding was substandard, hard and seemingly microwaved too much. If they couldn't organise themselves for a group then they shouldn't have taken the booking

   A pre-booked group of about 40 of us arrived about 4.40pm. We had already chosen, at least a week earlier, our starters/mains/deserts. The service was incredibly slow, they just couldn’t cope. At about 6.40, some of the group still hadn’t had their main course. At least two of the group sent their lamb shank back (undercooked). My Turkey meal was ok.
