  “It’s our new favourite place for a nice dinner! The atmosphere was amazing, the tables and toilets were clean and most importantly great service! We had a cheeseburger and fires, and a ceaser salad and both were incredible!!! The food was slightly slow but it wasn’t bad. It’s a lovely spot and it and surrounding shops look like a street from a movie. There’s free parking. We came on a Saturday afternoon in the summer holidays with no reservations and went straight in. It wasn’t ideal we had to go and order ourselfs but it was ok.”

  “Went to their event on the bank holiday weekend the country festival was very surprised this year we needed pay £10 entry when last year it was free. By 6/7pm they had also ran out of food and a lot of people were quite disappointed with this meaning we had to eat elsewhere also this year the only food options were chicken burgers and chips much preferred last year with the BBQ. Must say the bands were very good and we really enjoyed listening to them it’s just a shame about everything else”

  “Absolutely loved the vegetarian wellington with the sides, however, the Yorkshire pudding was so burnt I could barely cut into it. I was quite dismayed that it was sent out this way! I'd have expected staff to notice this upon plating. However, it could've been a one off to be fair, and the meal overall was delicious and the service was fab. The wellington had a lovely delicate Mediterranean flavour, it was tomatoey and olive-y. Lovely place with some hilarious vintage decor.”

  “A brilliant pub since its takeover. Always get fantastic quality meals and there is a variety (but not too much of a variety) to choose from. I love visiting the farm shop next door and looking round the other shops on the complex but the pub itself is the best bit by far. Meals are piping hot, of fantastic quality and are so tasty. I would recommend The Cow and Plough to anyone (including young families and people with dogs)”

  “Back in Feb 26, we had a really lovely vegan Sunday pub roast here. Interestingly, it’s not advertised as vegan on their website—it’s listed as vegetarian due to butter in the wellington pastry—and the booking team weren’t particularly helpful beforehand when we asked about alternatives (we were simply offered spring rolls). A quick look at their Google reviews shows that other vegans have had disappointing experiences too, so our expectations were pretty low—we almost ate before heading to the reunion. Thankfully, it turned out to be one of the best pub meals we’ve had, and my husband said the chips were the best he’s ever tasted. Afterwards, I sent a detailed private review, praising the food and offering some suggestions to improve their marketing and booking process. However, two months later, their online menu still lists the roast as vegetarian, even though the printed menu on the day clearly described it as vegan. Apologies that the photo doesn’t do it justice—I was too excited and had already eaten half before taking it!”

  “A great place. We have been many times now. Always made welcome. Lovely friendly staff. Great menu, unusual options available for gluten free diet which is fab. I had the duck with spiced plum sauce. Absolutely delicious, meat fell off the bones, vegetables cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious 😋. Husband had the woodfired pizza which looked great and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Good to pop in for a coffee in the morning as well as drinks in the evening. Well done to all.”

  “I organised a baby shower for a lovely friend of mine. The service I was given was outstanding. Janice’s response to emails was amazing. She helped so much. The chef who made our afternoon was also very accommodating, especially with the mum-to-be having gestational diabetes. I have to say it’s the first place that has accommodated for gestational diabetes for the afternoon tea and made a separate dessert. Some lovely banana bread. The amount of sweet treats you get in their afternoon tea is more than you would ever get anywhere else. I would definitely recommend eating there too. The Sunday roasts are amazing too.”

  “Been a regular here for more years than I care to say. The service is very good and the staff friendly and helpful. Cellar is well kept and there is a choice of ales and lagers, including alcohol free. The venue offers a wide variety of spirits and cocktails as well as hot drink. Food is very good and the pizzas are the best in Leicester! The venue is dog friendly. Good parking. Overall a great pub/restaurant with atmosphere! Special mention for the superb staff, Ben, Christian, Georgia, Kerry, James, Sophie and Tom 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

  “Lovely evening out with a bunch of colleagues. Everyone enjoyed their food. The menu had great choices and lots of options to cater for dietary and allergen needs. The food was well presented, and the flavours were great. The portions were very generous, we had to have a big break before desserts! We wandered around the farm and were able to get ourselves ready for our desserts, which did not disappoint. If you don't fancy the full works, their pizzas are great as are their snacks. Allow yourself plenty of time if you come in the day and pay a visit to the farm shop and there's a gin distillery too. The service and the team were exceptional. This is a huge plus as the place is always busy. Nothing is ever too much trouble.”
