Nestled near Leicester, The Red Cow is a historic country pub that beckons guests to immerse themselves in its inviting ambience. With a heritage dating back to the 1650s, this delightful inn exudes a sense of tradition and nostalgia. Drawing inspiration from an age-old rhyme, the pub's name pays homage to its storied past; "The old red cow, Which never did low, With coat as soft as silk. Come in, if you please, And sit down at your ease, And taste her nut brown milk". Savour the delectable delights of our hearty favourites and country pub classics, complemented by our seasonal dishes. Our well-stocked bar showcases an array of cask ales, fine wines and quintessentially British gin, perfect for savouring amidst our picturesque gardens or beside the crackling log fires. We eagerly anticipate your arrival at The Red Cow!
