We have a kitchen with principles based on solid British cooking. We pride ourselves on our excellent reputation and hope that the enthusiasm and expertise of the team shines through in our menus.

Head Chef Iain Webb focuses on using top-quality ingredients sourced from the best local suppliers, creating interesting dishes based on classic recipes. We are strong believers in nose-to-tail cooking and big seafood fans; we make the most of our regular deliveries fresh from Devon and Cornwall.

Our menu changes daily depending on the ingredients available, with a few firm favourites staying put all year round. We have something for everyone! We source fresh vegetables from Hugo’s on North Street, meat from Ruby & White and Origin Butchers, plus bread from Guild Of Dough, to name a few of our amazing local suppliers.

No pub would be complete without a good Sunday Roast and our Sunday Roasts are legendary! We have meat, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, plus a fish special every week.

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.

The Spotted Cow was one of the first pubs in Bristol to place an emphasis on locally sourced and organic produce... North Street has come a long way over the years and The Spotted Cow has had a hand to play in its resurgence.

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.

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
Tripadvisor
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!

This spacious downtown gastropub oozes unpretentious sophistication, from the candle-lit minimalism of the decor to the chilled Sunday jazz DJ sets. Food is also a big deal here. You'll find classic pub grub brilliantly reinvented with locally sourced and organic ingredients whenever possible.
