The atmosphere at The Cow Dining Room was lacking, absolutely silent. And the best bit? Yes the bill was expensive - £27.00 for a 3 course menu. Crap, crap, crap - don't go!

Amongst the worst meals I've had in London in the past 3 years.

Cramped, smokey, noisey and not cheap either- for what it is. The food is simple...I never thought I would say this, but maybe a bit too simple. 4 of us went there and we were all of a similar opinion. For the budget the Cow charges there are far better offers...

The cook had 4 hobs to work on next to the bar and he didn't even have a cover for his pots (used a plate). Would be quite a "charming" homely thing that would have complemented the atmosphere if it wasn't for the taste of the food and the atmosphere... oh well.

On the flip side... if you are really drunk and want another drink and just want some bar food or a snack then this might be what you are looking for. Do not go with hopes of a decent sit down meal.

To be fair the service and the range of food on offer was good, and I enjoyed my starter (ham and lentil soup). Don't have the lamb as a main course though unless you like ninety percent fat. I was still hungry when I left - largely because I was too disillusioned to pay another five pounds for dessert. Wouldn't go again.
