The Spotted Cow is situated on North Street in the heart of Southville and Bedminster.

The pub has a rich heritage dating back to Bedminster’s agricultural past and has stood for over 200 years. We aim to provide a quality community pub serving up delicious food, an excellent selection of drinks and a unique style of music.

Best Pub Winner - Bristol Lifestyle Awards

Whether you are popping in for a pint, settling down for a meal, or meeting friends for the evening, The Spotted Cow is a relaxed and welcoming local with plenty of character.

Alongside the pub classics, you’ll find seasonal menus, carefully chosen drinks, and a friendly team who help make the place feel properly rooted in the neighbourhood.

The pub benefits from a large walled garden to the rear, which is an amazing suntrap and a perfect oasis to escape from the city. Come winter the canopy returns and the garden becomes a cosy spot, with heaters of course!

  • Booked for a Saturday place was very busy but service was quick & efficient. The food was local and homemade we were very impressed with the kitchen making a lot of the starters from scratch (Scotch eggs etc). The service at the table was excellent and we were able to order bar drinks at the table. it gets a little noisy but there is certainly a great hubbub. I understand Sunday lunch is very popular

  • Well it's great to get back in the Spotted Cow with their gorgeous Sunday lunch. The pork belly was stunning and the gravy was to die for! Great food, super friendly service and felt very comfortable in these strange times.

  • The menu makes for interesting reading, not least because the Cow have extended their 'local, sustainable, ethical' food-sourcing policy to include 'grown on the premises', with a roof garden providing many of the vegetables and herbs used in the kitchen.

  • Service was so welcoming and friendly and we were very confident in all of the safety measures put in place. The decor is very classy and relaxing with beautiful flowers adding to the atmosphere. All of us loved the food and felt that even without the Tories subsidising it is great value for outstanding British food. Make sure you book as this pub is so popular and deservedly so- just go!
