About The Dun Cow
The Dun Cow is a British pub and gastropub on The Green in Rugby, with rooms upstairs for overnight stays. The kitchen runs a wide range, covering pizzas (including a Korean pulled beef version), burgers, salmon and bacon chop, chicken tikka skewers and falafel, alongside a trio Sunday lunch and sticky toffee pudding. A private dining room sits at the back for groups, and dogs are welcome inside. The pub holds a 10% discount for Blue Light card holders and accepts the Vintage Inn rewards app, which gives £10 off the bill. Table changes to a quieter spot are accommodated on request.
