A great pub. You bump into so many locals, the sheer buzz inside (and out during the summer) is worth the trip alone. You can crawl out of bed and amble over and spend a few hours. By the time you’ve left, you’ll have chatted to tables either side and 3 tables along, and everyone will exchange email addresses (and possible phone numbers, too!..) It must have been the wine…

The Cow is one of my favourite winter pubs. The place is dark and cosy and is often packed so its best to go early. The fish stew is the best dish on the menu down at the bar and is the main reason I go to the Cow. It’s a nice hearty dish, especially in winter.

The Cow is probably my favourite pub in London. A typical Irish pub recreated by Tom Conran on the ground floor with a few tables at the back (and a proper restaurant above it). The crowd is different from the Westbourne, more “trendy local” and less flashy than the Westbourne. The location facing North makes its small terrasse less attractive but there is always a lively crowd around the Cow and lots of activity at the bar where the two most served beers are Red Stripe and Guinness illustrating the mix of Irish and local Carabbean cultures. The menu is small but go there for the sea food, the even have a great sea food platter if you are really hungry.
The restaurant above is small but excellent with a great atmosphere and a menu that changes regularly. Booking essential and it is probably quite expensive too (say £45 per head).
