Dogs are often in the pub and it's a bit smelly and grubby. The menu is good though and the service is good and comes with a smile. Its clear one of those 'locals' pubs but new visitors are welcome. It also has a darts and an outside seating area out the back. Personally I feel the pub needs a make-over but perhaps its oldness is part of its charm!?

There is some street parking nearby though. The Cow has one Michelin star! Quite a coup! The chef has done wonders and together with the new owner has turned this place around - and I love the name too! The menu is locally sourced and they use seasonal vegetables and products. It's going to be hard to keep me away from here for too long!

We were served a tasty meal but I found the presentation to be poor and the whole experience…read moregenerally uninspiring. We ate as a large group on a Friday evening when the pub was generally full of people on nights out. As a place to eat I would suggest that the cow is better placed as somewhere for lunch, not dinner and especially not dinner on a Friday night. My starter of black pudding with bubble and squeak bacon and a poached egg was delicious. However my main course of fish pie was poorly presented and the accompanying vegetables were soft and the portion was small. The pie itself was tasty but the whole experience was let down by the poor presentation. The meals of others in my party looked good, especially burgers and steaks - if I go back I'll be sticking to those.

Perfectly cooked pork belly roast that was soft on the bottom and crunchy on top. Followed by a brilliant chocolate brownie (and sticky toffee pudding that someone else had). Highly recommended!!

Great historic building and good beers, i had food here some time ago which was great but not sure what it is like now, it is ever popular so i imagine it has not lost standards. It also has a little Jamaican Jerk shack in the beer garden (not sure when this is open). The large beer garden has breath taking views of Corfe Castle and the surrounding area and is worth popping in just for that Summer or winter! If your in the area certainly worth stopping by, fair size car park out back.

The decoration is very traditional and you'll find all sorts of antiques on the walls. The beer selection is great and I enjoyed some of the local bitters that were on tap.

It's a surprisingly large pub, although I'm not entirely sure it's laid out in the best possible way. My boyfriend and I were seated on a table that felt a little like it was in a corridor, with wait staff and customers squeezing past us on a regular basis. The food menu is big and focuses on fresh, local produce. They also have a number of daily changing specials on top of the standard menu. I went for the beef wellington, and the boyf went for the whole gurnard, one of the specials. The gurnard was apparently delicious - the boyf leaving nothing but the bones (he even ate the eyes!!). The wellington was pretty good, and certainly large. A big chunk of fillet steak, pate and mushroom encased in light flaky pastry. Admittedly, it was easier to eat when the wait staff remembered to bring me a steak knife, unfortunately, I was three quarters of the way through by this point! Both dishes came with separate veg, a great selection but looking a little microwaved. We could only manage to share a pud - we went for the creme brûlée which was good but not exceptional. The wait staff were mainly youngsters but they were friendly and efficient. The pub also has a nice garden, can imagine it would make a great place for a pub lunch when the summer eventually arrives.
