The Cowherds - Southampton

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I had the trio roast dinner, which was cooked perfect. I would recommend this restaurant and I will be coming back. The waiters name was Luke and he was friendly and nice.

The food was tasty and the waiter was polite, but the service was slow. When we tried to order coffee and dessert at 8:55pm, we were told the coffee machine was already shut and only offered tea or hot chocolate as alternatives. Despite the menu stating that any hot drink could be chosen with the mini puddings, this was not the case. Additionally, when we ordered our pudding, we were told the kitchen would be unhappy because they stop serving desserts at 9:30pm, even though it was not yet 9pm. Given the slow service, it was frustrating to be made to feel guilty about wanting a coffee and pudding after our meal. It's a shame that this restaurant imposes time restrictions on their menu, and I may choose to dine elsewhere in the future.

We had a lovely lunch at the Cowherds for my son’s birthday today. Great-tasting food and very attentive service from our super server, Luke. Thank you!

Favoured spot for University types and so caters for a wide variety of menu options. Attentive staff and quick service in this quite large and busy place. All the food was well presented and tasty. Limited bitter choice was a disappointment. Good car parking close to lovely wooded park to walk off any excesses.

Can’t fault our Sunday roast. Portion size was generous and food hit the spot. We were served by Luke, who was excellent, efficient and went above and beyond! He is a credit to the pub! We will definitely be back regularly for our roast.
