Cow and Plough in Leicester

Ah, the Cow and Plough – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper British pub, tucked away in the lovely Stoughton Grange area of Leicester. I've got to say, from what I've heard and seen, it's got that perfect mix of cosy charm and a lively buzz, especially with events like their Jazz Lunch on the first and third Wednesdays, where you can enjoy live music alongside a tasty meal. The staff really make it shine; they're so welcoming and on point with service, whether you're there for a quick coffee or a full dinner. The food is a highlight too – think hearty Sunday roasts, brilliant vegetarian choices, and even a pizza shack for those craving something a bit more casual. And if you're into drinks, there's a solid range to choose from, including some cracking ales and non-alcoholic options for everyone. On the downside, it's all card payments these days, which might catch you out if you're not prepared, and you might find certain treats like afternoon teas off the menu during busier months. Still, it's a gem for a relaxed day or evening out, and I'd recommend giving it a go if you're in the area – just plan ahead for bigger groups to avoid any hitches. All in all, it's got that feel-good factor that keeps you coming back for more.
