    Lovely place! Well-kept Wherry at just the right temperature, good food (the halibut on Saturday was excellent, the fish and chips always are), staff are very friendly and service is good, even when it’s very busy: always a good place to take friends and family

    We love the Dun Cow visiting regularly through the seasons. The food is always outstanding, the specials inventive and delicious. Great ambience, lovely staff, just a great place to visit, eat, relax and enjoy throughout the year.
