This place was beyond incredible!!! We ordered the Red cow Mixed Grill and the selection of food was phenomenal. The flavours of each of the foods was distinct and delicious. The service was extremely friendly and everyone who worked there was brilliant. I highly suggest booking a table beforehand on the weekend because we went the night before and it was packed. Overall, I highly suggest this restaurant for a an incredible meal and a fun time!!!

We have been visiting this place since 2018. The place to go for mixed grills. But what has happened recently with the quality? Our last visit (01/01/2024), there was definitely something wrong with the normal quality. The food was unfortunately both bland and tasted off. This is not normal for this establishment. My dining guests who consumed this complained of upset stomach issues (red meat and poultry). The seafood which I ate was definitely not good and tasted bad/off. Very disappointing, possibly we had a bad batch or dare we say re-heated food? Don’t think we will return which is a great shame.

Food was really nice. Ordered lamb and chicken drumsticks and they tasted exactly as I expected. The service was also very quick and the staff were fantastic. My only criticism is the interior looks very dated and could do with a serious refesh.

We went here en route to the hawthorns. Friendly staff with a good beer selection at low prices with a Cobra for £3 odd quid! We ordered the mini cow mixed platter between two with chips & naan. Mixed platter was seriously amazing & I was stuffed! Decor is a little dated but tbh I was there for the food and everyone was lovely with good pre match chats!

Went on a Thursday evening to the Red cow. Thought the worst as there was 1 table occupied by diners. How wrong we were! We went for the ‘fat cow’ chilli chips, masala chips, lollipop chicken, chilli lollipops and 3 naans. We asked for the chips and naans to be upgraded on the fat cow as it only comes with plain but it was lost in translation so we got 3 plain naans and 2 chips additional to what we wanted. The fat cow grill itself was sensational. Lamb chops - great taste, perfect amount of charring. All the chicken was juicy and full of flavour. Fish pakora - nice light batter, lots of meaty fish. The chilli chips were unreal, so so good! Definitely recommend them with the chilli lollipops. Certainly no scrimping on the portions! The only slight criticism is the grill wasn’t sizzling when it came out but it was on a oven tray as it was so big! It says on the menu it serves 8-10, there was 5 of us and we were all stuffed. Would definitely go back, be great to go when it’s busy. One of the best mixed grills we’ve all had, up there with Champys, new hen and chickens etc. Update… we went back for our Xmas mixy, again quiet inside in the dining area but the mixy was first class. Had the £42 fat cow again. Was 6 of us, with 2 cobras to top it off we were all stuffed. The chilli chips and chilli lollipop are a must. Chips are battered and covered in chilli sauce…. Unbeatable! Football was on prime too! Thanks red cow for rounding off this year with a class mixy!

Been twice, both times the chap that took my order and payment was sarcastic.. I ordered two grilled mains and was only given one salad, I asked for an extra one (little lettuce onion bag) and he charged me 😳 bit of a joke really. That being said the food is decent, but would rather spend my money elsewhere.

Not a bad word to say at all about the red cow. The dishes are spot on and delicious every time, and the service is excellent too. Definitely our go to curry house, and we always look forward to eating from here. ☺️

Most of the grill places in the Midlands are ok, it's more of a case of " pile'm high, sell'm cheap". Sometimes to much food colouring, I've seen purple kebabs. The foods ok at Red Cow but I haven't found one that compares to grill places in the south, my current favourite is Punjabi Dhaba in Hounslow.
