About Cow & Sow (Clifton)

On Whiteladies Rd in Clifton, Cow & Sow is a steakhouse serving lunch and dinner, the second location for the family business. The menu draws on cuts from across the South West, with a sharing steak offered up to an 1100g porterhouse chateaubriand-style cut for two, alongside dry-aged picanha at 700g and a rib roast. Beef dripping chips and an onion blossom run as sides. At brunch, the Cow & Egg pairs flat iron steak with a fried egg and chimichurri avocado, and French toast comes with maple syrup whipped cream, served alongside cocktails such as a Peach Bellini or Hugo Spritz. A wine list runs alongside the cocktail menu. Diners are seated and served at the table by waitstaff, and the restaurant takes walk-ins rather than bookings.

Customer Review Summary

Steak is the draw, with reviewers praising the sharing steak, the chateaubriand and a 700g dry-aged picanha, plus a rib roast and a porterhouse, all described as perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Close behind are the sides and starters: beef dripping chips, onion blossom, a sharing starter, and the heritage tomato salad and squid. The new brunch menu earns notice for its French toast and the Cow & Egg with flat iron steak, alongside Peach Bellini and Hugo Spritz cocktails. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and Valentine's diners mention a complimentary glass of champagne or prosecco. The caveats are small but specific. One reviewer found service slow in the early evening and the cocktails light on strength, and the sharing steak was sold out on that visit. Another thought drinks were priced on the high side and did not expect to pay for bottled tap water. One diner closed by hoping to snag the sharing steak next time.

    “A lovely place for a relaxed Saturday afternoon lunch. The food was delicious, and the portion sizes were just right. Our waitress, Evie, was fantastic. Overall, we had a really great experience.”

    “We visited Cow & Sow as a group and had a great experience from start to finish. The food was excellent value for money, steaks perfectly cooked to our choosing and our sides were well seasoned and full of flavour. The beef dripping chips were the best I’ve had. The staff were also really friendly, attentive and welcoming, which made the whole meal enjoyable. Overall, a great experience and somewhere I’d highly recommend. Hopefully they open a London restaurant one day, it was much better than some of the high-end steakhouses I’ve been to!”

    “The place is great. Staff is friendly and helpful and the food is even better (hard to believe). One of the best rib roasts I’ve ever had anywhere. Perfectly seasoned, something so many restaurants fail at doing. When you take a great piece of meat, cook it correctly and season properly it’s amazing.”

    “We had the chateaubriand 600g sharer between two of us. It was incredible. We had the chips and onion blossom with it as sides, both of which were perfectly seasoned and crispy. All in an amazing meal and we will be back!”

    “Visited Cow & Sow to try their new brunch menu, launching 2nd May (served 10am-1pm), and it's a great addition to their offering😍😍 We ordered the Cow & Egg and the French Toast. The French toast was a standout (light, fluffy, and topped with a really nice maple syrup whipped cream that added a slightly different twist without being too heavy!)🫶 The Cow & Egg was also excellent🏆 The flat iron steak was cooked perfectly (served pink), tender, and well-seasoned. The combination with the fried egg, chimichurri avocado, and especially the sweet potato hash brown worked really well and felt a bit more unique than a typical brunch dish🤤 We also tried a couple of brunch cocktails (Peach Bellini and Hugo Spritz), which were both well made and a nice addition to the menu. Overall, a strong brunch offering with good quality ingredients and a slightly elevated take on classic dishes. Would definitely return⭐️”
