Sunday Lunch at The Red Cow, Fishtoft

The Red Cow in Fishtoft is a charming village pub that wears its history well.

The dining area is housed in a generously sized conservatory. I have only visited for their Sunday lunch offering, which is served as a traditional plated meal. The menu features all the usual and much-loved suspects: tender roast meats accompanied by mashed potatoes, a roastie, a proper Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, and a good selection of vegetables. Cauliflower cheese is available if you fancy an indulgent extra, and gravy lovers will be pleased to know a large jug is provided — with more happily brought out on request.

The meal itself is well cooked and nicely presented, hitting all the comforting notes you’d expect from a classic Sunday roast. If I were being picky, I’d say the vegetable portion could be slightly reduced in favour of a few more roast potatoes — but that’s very much personal preference rather than a fault.

Desserts are homemade and absolutely worth saving room for — tasty, comforting, and the perfect way to round off the meal.

All in all, The Red Cow offers a solid, enjoyable Sunday lunch in a classic pub

setting. A dependable choice for a traditional roast in a pub full of character. 🍽️
