The Red Cow in Dudley

Ah, The Red Cow – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered, it's got this lovely old-fashioned vibe that takes you back to simpler times, with a cracking selection of real ales and cider that folks rave about. The staff are absolute stars, always up for a chat and making sure everyone feels welcome, which really adds to the charm. And the food? Well, those burgers are massive and packed with flavour – perfect for when you're after something hearty without breaking the bank. Prices are spot on too, making it a great spot for a relaxed evening out. On the flip side, though, it's cash only, so you might end up dashing to find an ATM if you're not prepared, and it doesn't open until the afternoon, which could put a dampener on plans for an early drink. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're in the area and fancy a pint with a side of genuine hospitality, but just keep those little niggles in mind to avoid any surprises.
