Quick info
About The Red Cow
The Red Cow sits on St Edmund's Close in Derby, a pub laid out across three distinct rooms, a separate lounge, a bar, and a dining area, each with its own character. The format suits both a casual drink and a sit-down meal, with food served in the dining section and drinks poured at the bar. Dogs are welcome throughout. It operates as a walk-in pub, with no booking posture stated. The space offers a quiet corner in the lounge for conversation, a spot at the bar for a quick pint, and a more settled room for a meal with the team.
