"I have been going to the pub for a number of years now but after this mornings appalling treatment will never stop foot in again. Three of us arrived at the premises just after 9am for breakfast. As we walked through the second entrance door I heard a female voice say And these can sod off . I didn 't think much of it as didn 't believe she was referring to us. We went into the bar area where there was a female member of staff who 's face was like thunder. There were people eating in the restaurant but we were seating in the bar. After a few minutes the same female staff member approached us and gave us three forms and a pen and was told to fill it in (this was for us to select what we wanted, clearly for residents staying B&B). The female was stood at the bar talking to a male who appeared to be cleaning the pipes. I then heard her say to the male, in a loud voice She needs to get more staff in, does she think I 'm an octopus!! and then walked off. I assumed she was referring to either the manager or owner. I completely understand the pressures of working in hospitality industry but to make comments in front of and to customers is a disgrace. We then decided we were clearly not welcome so left. We then went to The Pickled Parsons where we enjoyed a superb breakfast."

Staff were great, but I wasn't too impressed with my food. But in fairness I think I chose badly as everyone else was very happy with their meals, especially those who went for the fish and chips.

Called in here minutes before the kitchen was due to close. Staff were really friendly and helpful and weren’t stressed by our late arrival Food was lovely, fresh and full of flavour. Happily eat here again

What a delightful pub! We were passing through for dinner and fell upon The Dun Cow Inn. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was so tasty, I ordered the lasagne which I totally recommend and my husband ordered the gammon which I think he would have licked the plate if it wasn’t so bad mannered . Do not hesitate to eat at this lovely pub

Booked for mid-week lunch for a group of eleven ex-work colleagues (retired).Table set up as pre-requested and different orders placed both from the lunch menu and the specials board.All meals arrived promptly and served by pleasant waiting staff.Everyone of us enjoyed our meals and will probably return at some point in the future.All in all a nice experience in a nicely appointed pub.

Great service by Richard and his team for Barbara's birthday last night. No stone unturned and happy to have us decorate the table. Food and service wonderful as always and special mention to the staff for bringing out the cake and joining the singing. Great night out and wonderful to know that even 30 years on Jeff and his staff continue to maintain their highest standards. Still the best eating experience in the village.

Had an evening meal there . The food was good quality and well prepared and there or there abouts on price given the quality.The service , took about 15 minutes before our order was taken and then only because a guy on another table managed to raise awareness. Seemed a little disorganised . Other than that it was okBar prices a bit heavy for the area at well over £4 a pint for ordinary type beers. Would I use it again..yes if I was passing.

We were in the area and looked for somewhere for Sunday Dinner, the sign said serving from 12 til 6 so in we went, it was about 3 when we got there. Went to the bar, where we ordered our drinks and were asked to take a seat and someone would come over and take our order. We sat, and sat, and sat, watched others come in and have their order taken, and sat some more, until eventually the barmaid, it wasn't her job, came out and took our order. Food arrived promptly, word of caution, if you don't like to much gravy ask for it separate so you can add what you would like, the meat was deliciously tender, the veg was fresh and tasty and the portions were a decent size, good value for money in a ni...

"started really well and went to the counter and ordered a cream with bananas and nutella and especially gave no earthberries I also asked after a san pelegríno still water as this was on the menu. I was the first person to order and the last to eat at the end. I brought my water over which was a cheaper brand water I just had £2 for what I would like to have seen? we will, when asked for san pelligrino to say water that they do not in. Finally my crepe and I take a bite and understand that it is earthly on the whole species and wise by which I am allergic. one of my family members takes it back and says that I have asked for bananas, there is no earthly reason why I cannot eat it and did not want it on my crepe. then 5 minutes later another crêpe comes out, who was my bite crêpe, that someone had put the earthy and banan in the bananas. disgusting ... not sure whether this was a mistake or just stingy either as it did not. it is then returned because there is no way I eat, and it is explained again, there is a reason that I can not eat strawberries, to which then one of the owners passes to serve the right crepe and apology. I really hope that today a lection has been learned because cross-contamination is not a sweat. please be careful when they eat there. I didn't get any refunds offered, but then they were ready to serve me a bite crawl, so it didn't surprise me so much."
