We have been eating at the Chop House since it opened its doors and got to visit today for lunch for the first time since it became the Cow Bar and Restaurant. It was simply amazing, the focaccia was hot from oven, the French onion soup was piping hot and fully of cheesy goodness! The kids were treated like kings! Best of it all, the staff, Dave was a gem as always . Looking forward to lots more visits in 2025🎄

Such a great service- we arrived late because of traffic and we’re heading to a match at the Aviva so under time pressure. The guys served us really quickly and even gave us takeout cups for our chips. Food was fab and the atmosphere was nice and Christmassy! I just wish I had more time to relax and enjoy it for longer. Defo be back.
