The Cowshed - Menu

My friend and I booked an Afternoon Tea Would thoroughly recommend, the food was so fresh , homemade and truly delicious The service was excellent and all round excellent value for money

4th time we have been to this awesome little gem. The breakfasts are always a winner have never failed to deliver. Wonderful staff, great food, lovely atmosphere and very reasonably priced definitely a go to for a decent full English!

Had a jacket potato and coronation chicken. Was told it would be 35 minute wait but tables were empty. Jacket was very small and dwarfed by all the filling. Jacket had clearly been microwaved as was hard on the bottom and really difficult to cut! Take away cake was dry! Staff were miserable and not very welcoming. Would not visit again unfortunately.

Visited with a friend. Enjoyed a nice Bacon Brie and Cranberry toastie. Fairly busy got a table straight away. Ordered quick even though there was a queue. Waited 10 minutes for our food. Well worth the wait lovely toastie. Tea was a bit weak for my liking but acceptable. Staff were friendly enough. Huge slices of cake going outside to people. Toastie £8.25 tea £2.40 a pot and Americano £2.80. Had to queue for the loos though!

Me and my sister brought my nan here for an afternoon tea. I hadn't been before but saw some great reviews. To say we were impressed would be an understatement! Firstly it is in a lovely little location surrounded by craft shops. Secondly the team working were so polite and friendly and welcomed us to a lovely laid out table for the afternoon tea. The service was quick and we were so shocked by the amount of incredible food that came with the afternoon tea! Fresh cakes, loads of sandwiches, scones but all so fresh and such big servings! We had to take lots home! Honestly can not recommend enough and really reasonably priced. Will be coming back again and again!

We ordered four bacon/sausage baps for the four of us. Was asked where we were seated and pointed to the area we would go. Meantime whilst our server was watching and listening to his colleague, our table was given to someone else who entered after us. We were then told we could sit outside instead (not ideal when cold and wet) but we said fine. We sat outside for 55mins waiting for four bacon/sausage baps, the coffee order was delivered incorrectly too and despite a couple of polite prompts/reminders the staff attitude was clueless, rude and just Well we are busy . If you can serve more than 20 people in a timely manner with courtesy then maybe you are in the wrong business!

In the past we have used this cafe a lot but we took some friends today and had a very disappointing experience. On arrival for a 1pm lunch there was no soup and one of my vegetarian friends ordered the fish finger sandwich only to be told they had run out of that too. I encouraged him to have the tuna mayo sandwich which I also had. To my dismay there was an unbelievably small spreading of the tuna mayo making it little more than a cucumber sandwich. This was contrary to my usual experience here. When I raised the issue with the staff I was told it depended on who the chef was! The menu seems to have become very limited and I have been left feeling terrible about recommending this place to...

Met a friend for lunch today and found our visit disappointing. There seems to be less and less choice on menu each time we come. My friend ordered a toastie and I ordered a jacket potato with tuna mayo. I was surprised at the price of £7.95 just for a plain jacket potato with an extra £1 for tuna mayo. We were told there was a delay of about 40 minutes when ordering food which we said was fine even though there were still plenty of empty tables. An hour later, we were still waiting and noticed that two other tables that had arrived after us were served their food before us. We usually share a portion of chips which have been lovely in the past but these have now been removed from the menu....

Our initial ‘discovery’ of this cafe made us very happy as their vegetarian provision for breakfast appeared well thought out with meat-free alternatives for a bacon and sausage sandwich/bap. On our second visit, we were told they had ‘run out’ of the vegan bacon so we had vegan sausage instead. On questioning the new manager we were told they don’t get much call for the meat free menu (despite us during our hour-long visit seeing three groups ask for vegetarian and being denied). Our last visit was a total shambles with both vegan bacon and sausages being unavailable. When pressed, staff confessed the menus were changing (due to new owners) and it was highly likely that these options would...
