We visited the Moody Cow at lunch time and had the 2 courses for £10 lunch time offer. It was excellent, the food was lovely and it was great value for money. The staff were very attentive and the overall experience was excellent, will definitely eat here again

Food was tasty, good size portions, staff were friendly and service was relatively quick. However, would appreciate waiters handling glasses at the base of the glass rather than at the top.

Great food, lovely wine and friendly staff - not too obtrusive. Maybe lacked a bit of organisation, but that didn't detract from a great evening.

We love the Moody Cow...so much that we drove over from Wakefield for our 9pm booking. The restaurant is friendly and atmospheric, the staff are helpful and the right level of attentive and the food is excellent. My husband said his rack of ribs was the best he'd ever had. We love it and will be back.

Good tasty food, good friendly service and a nice busy atmosphere. My only slight whinge was we were told that our table would be need to be vacated at a particular time, which didn't turn out to be the case, which was great but we'd rushed the end of our meal unnecessarily.

Lacks atmosphere.Food and wine average.No beer/lager menu list or prices.Wine cooler was a plastic bag with ice-reminder of hospital colostomy bag-very strange.Would do better to introduce and adapt their 2 and 3 course lunch menu to evenings.An upmarket Wetherspoons. The Al a Carte menu is expensive for what it is.Not worth a detour.
