Reviews of The Cow

U. K.

Took the kids to the Farm(another amazing place). We were famished after half a day of play. We went to The Cow as it was the nearest and possibly one place to eat. Have to say that the food was amazing. All the items ordered were tasty and felt like a gourmet dish. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Isle of Wight. The staff were exceptional too. The service was quick and the requirements were understood correctly. The Cow was a fantastic eye opener. A big Moo to the team.

M. W.

Delicious food, we really enjoyed our meal. We'll worth a visit and its right next to the farm park.

R. G.

Friendly service and excellent burgers. One of the best burgers i had.

M. B.

Enjoyed my meal, unfortunately had to leave my drink, was offered, a plastic cup, left it, l appoligise, new lt would be f LL at, before I managed to drink

M. H.

Absolutely, positively one of the best burger restaurants I've ever been to and quite possibly THE best. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and wonderful food. THOROUGHLY RECOMMENDED.

D. B.

Amazing food in fantastic surroundings, top burgers and lovely staff

J. G.

We stopped here for lunch on the way through to elsewhere. What a result that was. If your a fan of burgers then your really not going to go wrong! Both the burger and the beef hot dog we chose were delicious as were the dirty fries. My only complaint would be the price of the milkshake relative to size. In fairness it tasted great though. All in all it was a very pleasant experience with willing and friendly staff.

m.

Found this by accident when driving past. Great location, friendly and relaxed vibe. Nice burgers. Little bit on the pricey side.

G. M.

Second visit to the cow and it was still good. Prices have gone up..menu smaller portions and different ingredients from last year. Still enjoyed the food and service.

H. A.

Wow... Food was delicious, Portion sizes are massive. Shame they don't take cash tho. All in all 10/10

S. B.

The Best place for most delicious Burgers in all Island of Wight. Bravo boys, It is Too Much delicious, Too Much.

S. B.

Been here twice now, so good! Went to Tapnell farm park, booked our table for 1.15pm perfectly in time for our session to finish and get seated at our table. Great service, order all on the app and delivered to your table. Friendly staff, fast service and lovely views outside. The burgers are out of this world, they also have a number of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages to choose from.

B. S.

Its a shame, two years ago this place would of got a 5 stars. The staff deserve 5 stars they were so kind and helpful. I found it difficult to navigate their menu,couldn't scan the code to order food due to my phone not having the app, the staff were a brilliant help. The food,well, not much of a choice if you didn't want Burger's. Had a beef sandwich that was overpowered by a curry flavoured chutney, with fries. My wife settled for fish and chips. The fish looked a little like it had been doubled fried in a beer batter that had a distinct curry flavour. This place is fine for a meal while visiting the very popular attractions of Tapnell farm perfect burger bar lunch. Not that good as a stand alone restaurant. I've hated wring this review but I think its justified.

G. B.

Food was filling and no complaints from the kids. Order food from the App when at your table, just order desert after mains or they bring it all at once.

m. t.

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Worth coming to the Isle of Wight just for the food at The Cow

A. S.

Food very good - huge portions - staff friendly & welcoming

A. K.

The place that has it all. Staff is friendly and professional at the same time. The food is delicious and nicely presented, on top of this all the prices are really down to earth as well.

N. K.

Have had excellent meals here but during covid is not as good. Limited menu, mediocre service and paper box service. Hassle on the app menu. What I had was tasty but the overall experience was poor.

R. C.

Absolutely awesome burgers. Upgrading to dirty fries was totally worth it, and the slaw was delicious. Generous portions, everything cooked perfectly. Baby and dog friendly, with good social distancing set-up too. Definitely recommended!

S. E.

Food was good burgers especially. I had fish and chips which was exceptionally good

C. E.

Food was delicious all six of us enjoyed our meals would definitely recommend 👌

P. L.

WOW, the best burger ever!! Stunning food, great friendly staff and a view to match. Dog friendly. Quality, quantity, quantity don't even stop at Mcrubbish keep driving to the Cow.

C. S.

The food is wonderful and very tasty. The burger was huge and the fries were fabulous. The kids enjoyed running around looking at the herd and we really enjoyed our evening on the patio with family.

F. T.

Great food, good atmosphere. Steak a bit expensive but good quality food. Can be a bit noisy given several kids parties going on but all in all worth a visit.

K. T.

Lush food! Really beautiful burgers and chips and the staff were fantastic. It was our first time visiting and I would definitely recommend!!

R. W.

Gets five stars for the quality of the burgers - big and fat and juicy. Don't expect any frills though - food served in cardboard boxes - but the environment is pleasant and friendly. If you have kids then you have the option to make a day of it with football golf, animals, water park and more.

C. T.

Lovely burgers, decent price, good farm shop and attractions.

D. M.

Really great, tasty, hot food which was delivered very quickly after ordering. Very nice decor and friendly staff. Made the 45 minute drive in Torrential rain from the other side of the island whilst visiting on holiday worth it. The dirty fries are not to be missed.

C.

Delicious food, extremely friendly staff and layout is amazing. Me and my partner loved it and will come back next time we visit on holiday.

P. R.

We had a great time here, fully booked inside but we had a nice table outside in the shade.used the QR code for a great fast table service.

T. H.

The food was lovely but ultimately over shadowed by a lack of thought for customers. As if taking a young family out to lunch isn't a logistical nightmare already you'll have to self order on a tiny menu on your phone, which is fine but doesn't bode well for those poor of sight, you'll spend 15 minutes just taking orders and ensuring it's all correct and then wait for an hour before the food arrives and try to entertain your kids whilst they too become irritated and bored at the wait. The saving grace was that the food was very good.

B.

A nice clean restaurant but the portion size was too big. We ordered mac and cheese and it could of fed 3 people. We ended up wasting a lot of food but I suppose that shows how generous and good value for money it was. My only criticism was that the cokes could have been in a bigger glass! The chicken was ok but a bit dry for my liking. I always end up comparing it to Nandos and so far no chicken has ever tasted as good as theirs. The chicken could have been more succulent and tastier. But apart from that the food was really good.

P. C.

Some of the best steak we've ever had. Also very child friendly.

A. T.

Excellent food, simple but so tasty. Quality ingredients make all the difference. Great atmosphere. Been two years on the bounce now and will return again, it's that good.

B. T.

Epic burgers. Very friendly staff. Fair prices. Highly recommended!

S. J.

The food is great but the ordering though the app is bit of pain as it does not work as intended and have try 3 times to get the order through. You need to download the add then only you can order,

S. _.

This was booked as part of a corporate event with the statement that it was the best burgers on the isle of wight if not UK. After experiencing for myself I would agree that the burgers are top class The restaurant also has a great atmosphere with cool and quirky decor with cows decorated. Definitely reccomend.

L. K. H.

Really really good, lovely to sit down outside while the sun is shining, service was friendly and efficient. The food was perfectly cooked, really meaty burger, so so filling, chips are lovely and crisp. Great spot for a burger

P. J.

I went here with my kids after the equally excellent Aqua Park. These guys have their business seriously in order...the pub so welcoming, lovely table for us made us feel special for fathers day weekend. The burger was one of the best I've ever tasted and goodness me the size of it! They have nailed this. Well done team we will 100% be back

R.

Mixed experience. Staff is very friendly and pleasant. Food: burgers were lacking the punch. too much quantity of fries given, but a large chunk of it goes waste. Found people discarding lots of food, including burgers, so I guess I am not alone in this opinion. Dirty fries comes with some cheese sauce which basically didn't taste good. Fries are sort of soggy. I found price to be on the higher side, considering the quality. May be my bad day.

L. B.

Our 1st visit and it won't be our last . The Best Burger I have ever tasted.

P. P.

Delicious food with great prices. Worth recommending!

M. D.

Nice friendly staff, great service and lovely food👍

T. S.

The food was delicious and great portion sizes. Very juicy burgers. There are great activities on site too like football golf and a aqua park.

A. R.

Fab pork gyros, nice setting with space between tables. Able to order drinks to have outside too. Really lovely on a sunny evening. Live music available between 6 & 8.

J. F.

Burger and service was spectacular but skinny fries weren't my cup of tea! Would definitely recommend

G. B.

A lunch booking, two days after lockdown restrictions lifted. Great burgers all cooked perfectly, with tasty rosemary fries. The 'dirty' fries option is recommended. Service was slow though, hence 4/5 stars. However, two days into restarting their kitchens after a long closure, managing app-based ordering only and coordinating outside tables, it would be churlish to complain. The food was worth the wait. Will definitely return.

M. E.

Wow! I’m impressed. Easy ordering and super friendly staff and fast service! The food is done to perfection! Portions are huge - we had to do take-away. We will visit ‘The Cow’ again!

T. P.

Absolutely loved it here, one of the best meals i had all week! Staff were great, plenty on the menu, loads of parking, well worth a visit.

M. H.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, doggo friendly. Meal was lovely, my wife had the vegie stew and dumplings....she loved it!! Yummy donuts for pud!! Brilliant place to bring children in the nicer weather, lots of outdoor stuff to do. Will return.

p. l.

A great young family location. Met friends here it was extremely busy but service was prompt.

D. P.

Gorgeous food and beautiful surroundings would highly recommend. Been a few times now and the Sunday roast was amazing. Not sure how the red cabbage was prepared but the best I’ve ever had.

L. H.

Seamless experience ordering from the app and the food is a good quality. All food is brought out in take away boxes which is okay. If you like your deserts then you are limited to premade doughnuts so keep that in mind.

C. M.

Absolutely gorgeous food, very fairly priced for portion size and quality. Local produce sourced for both eatin and drinkin. Would definitely recommend at least a couple of visits.

J. B.

Probably the freshest cooked food we've had on our visit August bank holiday weekend, great fast service, thank you all .

J. G.

The burgers here.. WOW. If you love burgers definitely pay a visit! Great place to eat and lovely staff. Will definitely be returning.

D. B.

Best burgers around

H. W.

Wow. I'm usually ambivalent about burgers, but the burger at The Cow was unreal. Generous portions, friendly welcome, efficient service - and a beautiful setting with views from upstairs. Highly recommend!

J.

Fantastic. They have transformed an old dairy farm into a superb multi dimensional location, with aqua park, foot golf and quirky places to stay. There is even an onsite bus stop! But it's all so well designed, they generate their own electricity and have their own water supply. Everything is recycled. And they're quite right about the burgers, not just the best on the island, but for quite a bit further I'd say!

v. t.

brilliant food, great service, affordable prices

K. L.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Staff are great, food is fantastic and the place is lovely! Will defo be going back again :-)

R. G.

Me and my partner came here after going to the Aqua park. Service was good and we both ordered burgers. They are a little bit on the pricey side, but tbf I would pay it again as the burgers were sooo good and up there with the best we have ever had.

J. R.

The best burger on the Island

M. G.

I had one main issue with this place. The burgers were too tall to pick up and eat but they didn't have the structural integrity to eat with a knife and fork without falling apart. Terrible. On a more serious note, the food and service was great.

F. M.

Great food, you need a big appetite though. Some concerns about their allergy procedure and although I put my allergies on the on line order, there was no mention of them from the waitress and I had to check that mine was allergy safe.

J. G.

The brie burger was amazing, and washed down with a nice pint of citrus IPA. The service was very quick and food fresh!

J. C. L.

plenty of parking - level access - great selection & quality of food & drinks (outstanding selection of burgers!) nice, calm atmosphere, great views all around, friendly staff. pub quiz nights available. loved it here.

C. A.

Great steaks and burgers - dessert a bit limited and slow service for that course

T. P.

Good food, nice atmosphere but needed more steaks:)

M. Ó. F.

Really nice atmosphere, with a great selection of burgers, hot dogs and chicken on the menu. Would definitely recommend for a good burger on the island.

H. J. B.

Great food, fair prices. Awesome staff. Went there on 14/11/19 for a little surprise anniversary tea. Was perfect. The place was a little quieter then we've seen it before but the waitress was brilliant, attentive and really nice. Funny too. The food came out quick & was really well cooked. Full of flavour. Would highly recommend

J. C.

Great food, a good place to eat. Very enjoyable and great staff!

B. W.

Delicious burgers, strong G&Ts! Good ordering service for COVID and super quick!

E. B.

By far the best beef burger I have ever had! Myself and my boyfriend both had the big smoke burger and it was delicious. The restaurant was very well spaced out with good Covid guidance that was easy to follow. I’d recommend anyone visiting the Isle of Wight to come here!

S. G.

Nice venue for kids, lots of space. Drinks selection was excellent, very nice gin tonic, and small selection of beers on tap, Curious IPA was very nice. Burgers were OK, not as good as promised, definitely overcooked. Sides were good, and the service was very good.

J. H. R.

A converted farm, now a place of family fun. The restaurant is great for family meals. The atmosphere is good, decoration is appropriate to a farm building and a family space.

J. W.

Superb burgers with great views if you're up on the mezzanine floor. Dog friendly too. Ordering by the app is easy after the first challenge of setting it up with quick and efficient service.

P. P.

The place is just okay. I had chicken burger and I found the bread stale. My other friends liked the food.

S. B.

Good food, lovely decor and friendly!!!

S. T.

Good food, good service and pleasant location, but nothing about the Cow is exceptional other than the prices. Mediocre puddings are £7. Main courses are hard to justify at £12-£14 for a burger (add another £3 for chips). Yes, it is a nice burger but it's nothing particularly noteworthy. It's worth going once but I wouldn't go again.

L. F.

Great food, if I had my way it would of been the contents of the menu with chips please!! and the staff are friendly and helpful too!, and also it's dog friendly place. It's a must when you visit the Isle of Wight.

r. r.

Nice food, shame they don't offer more steaks

G. M.

What a gem of a place, Definitely the best Burgers on the island, and still the same, world class Customer Service

S. D.

The family all enjoyed it. Burgers were really very good. Have been to Tapnell Farm Park many times, also great, but this time we remembered to try out the Cow. I will summarize thus: all so often these places are an additional convenience or gimmick when visiting the main attraction. Would I stop just to eat at The Cow even if not visiting the farm park, yes will do.

A. B.

Absolutely fantastic. The staff were amazing, decor was fab. Food was great, however not everyone likes their meat to still be mooing when it is served. Hence 4 stars.

I.

Tucked away from the road it's the sort of place you can easily miss. A lovely restaurant and the views from the upstairs windows are incredible. Probably the juiciest burger I've ever had. And with footgolf and the aqua park in the vacinity. A must visit (get the wagyu and blue!)

M. R.

Very good system in place here for no contact. Amazing burgers. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Daughters chicken burger was a bit dry, but absolutely faultless with the rest of the food. Probably best burger I've had. I had the Matador and my Wife had the Big Smoke. Also had the dirty fries, I dont know what cheese they used but was sooo good! Had both beetroot coleslaw and Cajun coleslaw. Both tasted great but I favored the Cajun. Normal fries were really good also. It was a rainy day so didnt get to chexk out the farm park and everything else they had there. All looked good from what we could see. Will definitely go back on a nicer day to include all the other bits outside.

S. M.

Delicious food and great service. Just a shame we couldn’t pick from the fancy menu with all the steaks on. But otherwise a great evening out!

S. J.

A good cosy restaurant with cows all around(not real ones😅). Amazing food especially burger; very polite, friendly and professional staff. The food didn’t took much time. Highly recommended

A. S.

When my family and I go there, we always go for burgers, because it is basically the jewel of this restaurant. The burgers are absolutely delicious with nice, soft buns and the large portions are guaranteed to give you your money's worth. Always our number one for special occasions!

A. W.

Brilliant place to eat, best burger ever and our waitress was extremely helpful. Relaxing atmosphere no rush just enjoyed the evening.

J. j.

Perfect for everybody. Good food 👍👍 good price

M. N.

Great burgers if you like meat - but make sure you go there hungry as there is a lot of beef! Options for non-beef eaters too though. If you get there early there are some walks around the area to work up an appetite. The view of the sunset on a summers day is glorious.

J. G.

Loved it!! Very good C19 drills, felt very safe and sanitary. Lots of gluten free/veggie options (which was tasty!), as well as plenty of meat on offer. Great views of the estate and friendly staff. Overall, highly recommend!!

M. M.

Best burger I have eaten! The whole family loved the food and service was great!

G. L.

Great food and drink at a great venue. Tried the burger which is meaty! Lots of alternative options. But not left wanting. Family friendly is always a nice touch.

D. T.

Was nice but wasn't impressed I didn't receive any salad with my meal. I was then told it needs to be ordered and paid for separately... cheeky as it was quite pricey even withoutthe salad!! I won't be going out of my way to return to the Cow however, my family love Tapnell farm and all it has to offer!!

G. P.

Lovely place and lovely food. Stopped for lunch while doing a loop of the coast on motorbikes. I had burger, friends had risotto, salad, fries. Everything was top notch including the service. A note of caution to fellow bikers, long steep gravel driveway - very hairy especially with a pillion.

B. D.

Food was amazing! Definitely recommend going there. I had the Matador burger and it was probably the best burger I have ever eaten. You can get it in a smaller size, which in my opinion is much better so you can save room for their delicious deserts!

M. O.

Lovely late lunch. Caeser salad and a burger. Sat inside (quite windy. Great views from Upper seating floor.

a. c.

Another lovely meal at the Cow with the Random Clan. Tasty food, piping hot, good sized portions, the staff are really friendly and service is excellent. Been a couple of times now and will go back again! Thank you.

V. S.

Lovely experience today the staff were friendly, food was good and they even brought the dog his own water bowl and he even had his own dog friendly ice cream. Vegan options as well, definitely one for a little family day out!

M. P.

Outside dining has a phone menu with fairly quick service. Burgers were very nice with a generous portion of chips, just a bit on the pricy side.

H. B.

Great food in a very nice setting. Friendly staff and good facilities.

S. S.

I found it to be overrated. It is a fairly standard place, food ordinary, the veggie burger was full of curry spice - too much. Very normal place to eat, not sure what the fuss is about.

T. H.

Lovely place! Great food& great service and lovely scenery. We really enjoyed our food and drinks here, especially the coleslaw!! Would recommend

F. B. N.

I thought Isle of Wight is mostly famous for seafood but this place has proven that it should be recognised for their delicious beef too!! I’ve had the most amazing burger there and I would encourage everyone to get off the beaten track to pop in there for a meal! Friendly staff, quick, efficient service, all orders processed through an app to accommodate COVID restrictions. Highly recommended xx

j. w.

This is a relatively new place in a great location with both indoor and outdoor dining options. We chose to eat outside. The menu wasn't the most extensive and I would say it is pricier than other establishments, however there is no doubting the quality of the food. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be eating here again.

S. G.

Awesome burgers, really speedy service and a very quirky atmosphere. Well worth a visit, we'll definitely be back.

C. P.

I ate here with my family this week. It was our first visit to a restaurant since lockdown, and we were a little apprehensive, but the staff made us feel at ease.There were stringent safety measures in place including contactless ordering and payment using an app, clear one way signage in the restaurant, hand sanitiser provided on every table, single use trays and cutlery (all recyclable), and the staff adhering to social distancing. Although the app was initially a little tricky to figure out, using it meant that we were able to pre-book both our food and a time slot to eat. We arrived, and, our food was ready soon after. We were alerted to the fact by an announcement on the cow screen in the outside eating area. The food was great and good value for money. My youngest son who is a very picky eater has since talked about his chicken burger being the best chicken he’s ever tasted! Overall we were very pleased and will definitely be visiting again.

R. A.

Absolutely fantastic food, completely deserving of all the praise and recognition as the best burgers on The Isle of Wight. Generous portions, great quality ingredients and a variety of toppings and sides. We had the Moo and blue, Matador and Louisiana Chicken. Great service and a lively and welcoming atmosphere. The multicolored herd of cow sculptures was a lovely touch. When they next need updating it may be a really nice idea to open up a design a cow competition for younger diners with a cow template and colouring pencils to keep them busy? Thanks for a great dining experience

C. B.

Wow what a find, this place is massive! Restaurant, farm shop, holiday let’s, aqua park, play area and all in a beautiful setting! The burgers are incredible, we make a lot of burgers at home & love BBQ’s so to find something this special out was a treat! Upgrade to Dirty fries as these are fab!! The Mermaid Gin Cocktail with Rosemary Garnish was really good too, could drink a few of those. Big portions and we didn’t manage a dessert, so another visit needs to be on the cards! Highly recommend a visit! ⭐️

G. S.

Nice location, good food and friendly attentive staff

L. W.

Smashing place. Good food. Very friendly service. Very helpful. Well worth a visit. They gave out blankets to people who were cold and even gave a dog a fluffy rug to sit on. Super place

M. O.

Great place for lunch or and early dinner. Not for a fancy date night though. Unless of course you like burgers as fancy. Looks like a great place for large crowds as they have an upstairs area for larger parties and an outside seating area.

M. C.

It is a destination venue and off the beaten track on a farm full of adventure activities. Nice grub and novel way of ordering which lacks a personal touch which we like in any restaurant but other than that all good.

I. I.

Waw! The best chicken burger I've ever eaten!

M. S.

Best burger I have ever had! The food is exceptional as well are the views from the mezzanine if you are lucky enough to be able to get a table there. Would advise booking online in advance, well worth it!!

C. F.

Lovely place,bright and clean friendly staff BUT. Hubby didn't eat as nearly everything came with rosemary salt I had a regular smoked burger and rosemary salted chips. Presentation great! BUT too much SALT! The chips were fries and they tasted of just salt. My burger was lovely beef and the bacon was tasty again there was TOO much rosemary SALT! I left half my fries and ate the burger (the bun was delish). Please Chef lighter on the salt. By the time I'd eaten this gorgeous looking burger all I could taste was salt. Also it would be an idea to have a choice burger you can add bacon,cheese etc yourself and fries without rosmary salt. They even put it on the steak. Could have been fabulous. The quality of the food is great,local and fresh. Don't need the salt!

T. J.

Amazing food. Amazing customer service. Brilliant prices. Would recommend and visit again. Also there is lots to do there as well

J. P.

Would easy give 6 if I could. Very friendly staff. Nice team. Food... wow.... amazing. Top class burgers. Thank you.

C. M.

Unusual restaurant next to a kiddy soft play centre. Features lots of fiberglass and resin cows brightly coloured. Food was OK, not surprisingly, mainly focused on beef. A little expensive for what it was and food was not as good as they made out. But overall quite a pleasant experience.

S. M. (. S.

We have been wanting to eat here for such a long time. We finally went to the Cow for a meal today and we were extremely happy with them. The service was great the team were extremely helpful for us. Half of our party was on the Keto diet, after asking a member of the team they were able to help us out. We lost all the carb products and added a sausage to our order instead. We're were so happy they done this for us. The meal was great we all enjoyed it alot. I can't wait to finish my diet so I can come here again and enjoy the full experience!

S. H.

Always great food and easy to order through the app. Even better that can also charge my car for free whilst eating :-)

A. L. P.

Awesome

M. R.

Nice place to eat. Food not cheap for what was on offer but that said quality and service were bang on.... full marks.

A. H. J.

Good Food, friendly staff, good atmosphere, you can wait a while for your food at busy times, adult portions are large child portions are a little smaller than most so be aware if you have a child who is a good eater they might need a little more. Quality of produce and temperature of food was top notch so I would say well worth the wait. Would visit again.

L. S.

Great fun for the whole family, animals, go-karts, bouncy pillow and a nice cafe/restaurant on site. Thursday evenings throughout August was free entry with a fantastic bbq and garden games, along with live music or a movie. Excellent value for money, could spend hours here. Restaurant always seems busy here even though a little pricey so worth booking in advance.

S. W.

Good for a bite to eat if you love your burgers. Does get busy so advised to book. Family Friendly

D. J.

Excellent burgers, definitely upgrade to the dirty fries. Great service in a great setting and at a good price too, can’t wait to go back.

P. H.

Great burgers, both veggie and meat

H. T.

Great burger.

K. J.

We've ordered steak and burger both are brilliant moreover there was special kids menu for my son as he is suffering multiple allergies for Milk, Egg, Wheat. It was first time he had burger at Restaurant. So happy for you(Harry)

D. W.

Oh my word! I've just had THE BEST steak Pave in my life. Not only was the service second to none with super friendly staff, the chefs did an amazing job. Well done to all at The Cow. Couldn't fault a thing!

M. 9.

Incredible food at great prices, have been twice this month already. Great for food and the farm for the kiddies. Really friendly staff

W.

Unique atmosphere and very well presented. This was the largest dairy farm on the Island until it was proved to be more economic to close it and take the cows to the mainland. Money has been lavished on this diversification project, and it does show. The food is obviously cow themed and has always been great quality with sufficient quantity. I am afraid I have to knock a star off for the added service charge.

W. S.

Best burger I've had in a long while.

P. S.

Excellent service, and very enjoyable evening. However very disappointed in the steaks, although perfectly cooked and served, both the Pave and Rump where really tough, I actually feel you have been short changed by your supplier. Otherwise wonderful evening.

M.

Stunning food, great service, quick. Probably one of the best burgers I've ever had, very recommended

J. S.

Great food, good service and a comfortable atmosphere. Kid friendly but quiet enough for two adults having a late lunch!

B. S.

Walked over, needed to given the portions. Dang good burger. Ordering via the App dead easy & although everything served as takeaway it didn't affect the food experience.

A. T.

Absolutely 💯 best burgers 🍔 not only on the island but also in a long time. Safety measures on point. Too bad we didn't have enough time to come back again. Good times

F. P.

Excellent restaurant with amazing food. Burgers to die for. Had a great day at Tapnell Farm, followed by a visit to the Needles and went back to the Cow for dinner. A lovely day out and worth every penny. Highly recommended

H. P. B. y. f.

Found this place by accident. And what a find it was. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The food is really good, great value for money. The views across the hills are amazing. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

A. D.

This was the best meal that we had on the whole of Isle of wight. The meat was amazing the freshness of everything and fries where to die for. My fellas burger he was one of the best burgers he has ever had. I highly recommend that you come to this restaurant. It really it one of the best 👌

J. H.

Fantastic food, the burgers are amazing, best on IoW. good service. would highly recommend to coming here.

J. H.

This was my very first visit to The Cow. Very impressed with the quality of the food, the friendly and very capable staff and the general atmosphere. Also noticed how quickly and thoroughly the staff clear the tables when customers leave. Being treated to my lunch by my daughter made it a perfect visit on Father's Day. John Hannam, Godshill.

S.

Amazing burgers and sides, I think prices wise really Good value for quality of the food. Only down side is the resturant is a little remote hence 4 stars.

C. D.

Had a lovely family meal. Good staff and nice environment, would visit again next time on holiday. You must try the beef nuggets they are just yummy.

G. W.

Very friendly staff. Food was lovely really tasty. A little pricey. The burger and chips I had was £14 but definitely worth the price.

D. M.

Lovely staff, nice burgers.

Great burger, this isn't just aimed at the cow at all, in fact the cows service was lovely, but I feel I'm being rushed out of restaurants now, there's little to no interaction.

S. B.

Relaxed atmosphere, personally not a great fannof ordering only via the app but the burger was amazing!!!

I. H.

Really good food. Super friendly staff. The dirty fried looked so tasty

G. F.

Delicious food service speed was good.

M. D.

Amazing burgers. Probably the best one I've ever eaten. Try The Smoke. Worth every penny.

P. R.

What a fantastic place , great food and really lovely staff

S. 1.

Good service. Good portion of food. Was in the first days of opening so covid restrictions meant sitting outside. Very well organised, but as it was raining and a cold wind was a tad chilly! But that wasn't their fault, 😊

M. A.

After all the good reviews we booked in for a meal very disappointed the burgers was over cooked and dry and the buns was the same very dry no one come to cheak on us to make sure every thing was ok We went to pay and the young girl ask if every thing was ok I said no told her what was wrong and she just laughed it of and walked of would never go back

C. V.

Big burgers, clean friendly and a great atmosphere. Don't miss a trip there. Fun for all ages.quality

C. M.

Amazing food! Best burger I have ever tasted. The flavours are delicious!

L. M.

A great restaurant in the West Wight. The Cow is a cow-themed restaurant specialising in steak and burgers, but there are plenty of other options available on the menu! We love going here for a meal, the portions are generous and food is very fresh and locally sourced where possible. They have steaks of the day on a board, so you can choose from any number of steaks, e.g. Las Vegas Strip, Hangar, Sirloin, Fillet Minion etc. Whist this restaurant is slightly more expensive than others, it's well worth it as a treat or special occasion! Don't forget to keep an eye out for The Price is Wight vouchers for the Cow!

N. H.

Lots of room, inside and outside seating, fantastic burgers, plenty of things for the kids to do water park etc, great day out not to be missed.

N. C.

Perfect! Service was great and super quick and they're right, they do have the best burgers in IOW 🤤!

M. J.

Advertised as the best burger on the island and certainly lives up to that. Excellent burgers, a must if your anywhere near.

J. W.

At its peak, Tapnell Farms milked 800 cows and produced 24,000 litres of fresh wholesome milk 365 days each year. The farm, and the family behind it, have decades of history, so it’s no surprise that they launched The Cow Co, a restaurant with a focus on the best local beef, cheeses, and dairy products. The Cow Co offers a wide choice of meat dishes and vegetarian options for lunch and evening meals, and have a beautifully rustic bar serving coffee, cake, and cocktails. Top-notch burgers.

L. M.

The most delicious burger I have EVER eaten! The slaw was also incredible too, definitely worth the wait. Service was also friendly 👍 we had no room for puddings so can't comment on those but they looked amazing on the menu!

C. A.

Best burger I had for quite a long time. They adopted an online order service which works seamlessly. Very please with this great restaurant

C. B.

Great service, great people food ia good and speedy, can't complain about the portion size we couldn't eat it all.

J. B.

Amazing food. The burger that I had was fantastic, I would go as far to say, the best on the island! Everything coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic! I would highly recommend!

M. S.

The customer service we had from the Cow Company today was excellent, the staff were really keen to make sure we were well attended and the food was good (it was excellent). Our son is autistic and they ensured we had a quiet table, which really made the trip.

M. W.

Great location set in the country side, friendly service, food was served fast, large portions, I didn't eat for the rest of that day afterwards. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting the Isle of Wight, didn't realise camping and adventure activities are also available, will explore these options when visiting the Isle again.

L.

My partner and I love this restaurant and it’s our first choice for dinner out as soon as we stay on the IOW 👍🏼 great atmosphere, friendly staff and superb food!

R. B.

Omg!!!!!38 years old and I have never tasted steak as good as this and it was so well priced to. Staff were all awsome made us feel so welcome without standing over you. This is a must.

E. B.

We had a really lovely evening here, we took part in the quiz and failed miserably but had a nice night all the same. The food was really good and the atmosphere lovely. I even got to pet some dogs. Winner winner!!

E. D.

Some of the best burgers we've had. Lovely staff too.

A. K.

Some of the most delicious food I have ever had. Burgers are to die for and the dirty fries belong in a museum for being this legendary. Thank you so much for the lovely service and quick delivery of food. 10/10

A. F.

Fantastic food and amazing staff, the restaurant is very clean, each table had its own hand sanitizer on them. And the food was amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our time there very much.

W. R. H. L.

Awesome Burgers guy's! and the dirty fries topped them off. Cheers!

S. D.

Had the matador burger and can honestly say it's the best burger I've EVER had in my life! Incredible and HIGHLY recommend!

m. c.

Not very friendly staff, especially blondes waitress, she said the inside was full but straight after her collegue accommodate me in. Food ok

K. M.

Fantastic food. Loved all the cows. Even the children liked it. We will go again

R. G.

Good food , pleasant setting , helpful staff

A.

Great burgers. Dirty chips were delicious

B. F.

We went to play football golf and then had lunch and cocktails.it was an amazing experience but prebooking is essential.

A. S. L.

Organic and tasty food. Great ambience. Would love to go again.

G. W.

Brilliant burger best ever and the waitress was first class so helpful.

J. A.

The burgers were pretty tasty but the dirty fries need to be cheesier. I'd probably go again but wouldn't make a special trip.

J. G.

The burgers here.. WOW. If you love burgers definitely pay a visit! Great place to eat and lovely staff. Will definitely be returning.

S. P. C.

OMG the food and service is absolutely amazing. So much food. We had a fabulous time.

J. B.

Light, airy restaurant. Service a little slow. Burgers good but not particularly outstanding.

R. G.

with a strong cold November wind coming off the Solent, Trapnell Farm was a haven from the extremities. From the start, the initial welcome was warm ,and was echoed by all the staff. Contented animals are housed in perfectly laid out & clean pens , there is the excitement of the go karts , zip wires, a four storey jungle gym and an inovative straw bale adventure course , for different ages and all under cover. Hours of fun & we were still unable couldn't get round and try all the facilities and guided tours. Back this Christmas (if open) .... viva Trapnellians.

H. N.

Best burgers on the island

A.

Fantastic place!!! Food fresh and delicious. Very friendly staff. I didn't know that I need to book table even this I was served. Thank you so much.

J. W.

Honestly the best burger and ice cream I've ever had. You guys have to come here (make sure to have the honeycomb ice cream -it's actually heaven). Staff are also really kind!

R. M.

Food was amazing made the first night on holiday perfect. Very freindly and allow dogs inside. Even brought over water and treats for the dogs. Great atmosphere and very freindly staff.

A. P.

Lovely food. Lovely service

H. E.

Bar/Restaurant on Tapnel Farm. Staff were lovely, very welcoming. I only had burger & fries but they were excellent! Recommended!

J. C. #.

Fab place for all the family, I have seen this farm park grow and grow over the year's, and it's development in to a truly fab all year all round place to stay, visit, have fun and eat quality food.

M. T.

Great tasting food. Burgers were cooked very well and full of flavor. Good portion sizes, several members of party were not able to eat all on their plate. Staff very friendly and checked in several times throughout the meal.

A. H.

A lovely meal with quick and efficient service. I would only say I would have preferred to eat from a plate to improve my experience

T. R.

Lovely burger and even better milkshakes. Portions are massive for the price you pay. absolutely love it

L. M.

Best burgers on the Isle of white

M. P.

Really friendly staff that are happy to help, great food and the coleslaw is amazing :) would definitely recommend and visit again.

J. R.

Great food, tucked away, great location, superb for families! Highly recommend

B. C.

Steak n Dirty Fries, cheers!

M. H.

Ok this is a good burger.. but to be honest.. The standard by far is Dip & Flip burgers in Tooting... That is by miles the benchmark... The buns could do better.. The wagyu beef add on.. Honestly you won't taste much more.. Fries were good.. But imagine.. Could be awesome if you had truffle oil on them... Good and very good... But not the best...

J. G.

Very good service, very good food. My style of decor, modern and rustic themed. Seats very hard which kind of takes the sheen of things. Recommended though.

D. D.

I attended with my partner for an impromptu lunch date. I was suprised by the food. It was very good and the process of ordering was easy.

k. d.

Great burgers ,fries. Lots of friendly helpfull staff. A must visit .

E. B.

First time at Isle of Wight, we saw the advertisement about this burger so we had to try ! Cannot be disappointed!! Amazing food, you can taste the freshness at every bite ! Staff friendly, polite and with always a smile ! Thank You at all the staff !!

Y. S.

Great food - good portions. Nice modern design and really great atmosphere with large lawn outside for kids to run around.

J. B.

A superb lunch. High quality food cooked to perfection. Staff very efficient and friendly. I would recommend to anyone.

D. F.

Tremendous atmosphere. Curious brew too!

S. G.

The best hot dog I think I have ever had . Be nice if they did a pickup takeaway.

D. B.

Amazing food, great setting, well worth a visit

B. M.

The thickest and most tender beef patties I've ever tasted in England. Wow. The Cow was an experience.

F. A.

Really relaxed and enjoyable lunch here. Be aware of its opening times in the winter as it's not open every day - but it's worth a visit. One hundred percent. Loved it.

A. B.

We had a great lunch and the cow. The burger was good as well the vegan burger, matt are server couldn't do enough to help, give it a Go

K. W.

Incredible food and great service

G. S.

What a restaurant. ..cuisine of the highest order ....go for the "tomahawk "

G. C.

I would say this place is a must visit. Pleasantly surprised with the great vibe it has and it is a spacious restaurant. Their food and service is great. Very much liked the Cow theme they follow throughout. In the same farm they also have archery, axe throwing etc., activities if you're interested. I didn't have much time to check them out though. Hopefully next time.

S. F.

What an excellent place to eat! As per the name, much of the menu is dedicated to the wonderful beef produced locally, but there was also some chicken and veggie options. Not so much for my vegan wife, however the burger that she had went down extremely well! I had the special, a steak sandwich with cheese sauce and an amazing tomato and whiskey chutney! If you're on the Island visiting, you could do a lot worse than a meal at The Cow!

C. O. C.

Quirky restaurant, but also very nice...everywhere you look, either pictures of cows or ornamental ones....The food here is absolutely lovely, and the chunky, chunky chips are delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the service is unobtrusive, and very polite, and plenty of free parking...I highly recommend this place, very nice indeed, also pet friendly.

I. W.

Had the pig smoke was delicious and staff were very friendly

j. m.

My absolute favourite place to eat. Had the BEST Sunday roast beef. Can't fault a single thing 👍

M. R.

Food was very good, friendly staff and covid measures were really great. Felt safe and had a lovely time!

K. R.

Tasty food: gave me and my partner the wrong burgers and we didn't realise til we were halfway through!

C. A.

Loved the place and the food, best burgers on the island very busy and booking well in advance recommended

R. H.

Brilliant food, it was raining when we were there so didn't have much of a look around the rest of the farm.

S. C.

Can honestly say this was the tastiest burger I've ever had and I've seen a fair bit of America. Sublime

s. t.

Nice atmosphere, lovely beef stew, very minor point, would prefer fresh apple on cheese board rather than dried shavings , otherwise lovely

L. C.

Fantastic food would definitely recommend to anyone will visit when next in isle of wight thanks to all at the cow.

L.

Absolutely superb! I'm gutted I can only leave 5 stars! We've been holidaying on a bit of a budget, but we decided to treat ourselves to one dinner out this week. We chose The Cow because we'd never been, despite coming to IoW most years, and because the adverts boast they are the best burgers on the island. Keen to put this to the test and I'm happy to say it surpassed expectations. The burgers really were amazing, slightly pink in the middle, juicy and flavoursome. I also upgraded my fries to dirty fries and I recommend you do the same! I'd like to give a shout out to the kitchen crew as well - we were sat on table 11 next to the serving hatch and they seemed a brilliant team, working fast and efficiently and finding time to throw some banter around, making me miss my years in a kitchen! The chef on the pass even shouted Cheers/have a good night as we left. Also while I think of it, a note to management: The Kitchen crew have better taste in music than the in-house playlist! Haha! I'd much rather have listened to their 90s/00s pop-punk playlist than the elevator friendly 80s list you had on the speakers! But they didn't have it too loud, I can just pick out The Offspring really easily - please don't take away their radio! The only downside to our whole visit was that there was a noisy dog inside the restaurant for the first part of the meal, barking really loudly and making my son (who's terrified of dogs - but we're working on it) jump with every bark. We all talked about our meal the whole drive back to our caravan - a sure fire sign that we'll be back in 2022! Thanks guys!

g. b.

Wonderful food for a reasonable price served by friendly helpful staff, definitely worth a visit if you are around the area.

V. N.

First class food, great menu! Definitely recommend!

S. M.

Food and service excellent. Decor interesting. Dessert menu could be improved.

A. B.

Fitted us in even though they were fully booked - very efficient and friendly staff. My advice is phone ahead and book a table... Oh and the food was excellent.

P. F.

Love this place. you will be hard pressed to find a better burger.

T. G.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, nice and Friendly staff.

L. F.

Wow, lovely space, good atmosphere and fantastic grub! I can personally vouch for the burger sharing platter...

N. D.

Great food, decent portions, and - thanks to the bar - a good selection of alcoholic drinks. A bit off the beaten track, but plenty of parking.

J. F.

It's a mixture of burger bar and restaurant. For example, they have burgers at a fairly normal price and chateaubriand steak st £60.00

P. K.

Sorry if you think This is low But I was not asked how I wanted the Steak done, Shàme it had to Go back.

R. F.

If you what a berger, this is the place. Kids friendly, clean, and friendly staff. Good prices. Must go.

N. O.

Cider and chips afternoon treat - definitely beats a cream tea. btw the chips are really good.

s. g.

Pleasant staff, efficient service, fair prices, lovely surroundings and our food was lush!

C. L.

Feel safe, cold day and large space but warm. Friendly staff - good food but say too salty

B. S.

Great food. If you like your beef, look no further! Sunday roast was great value

H. K.

First time there today, went there for my uncle's wake. Lovely place, a lovely spread of food laid on, definitely recommend it

K. D.

We stopped there for lunch on our way home and food was great as well as the services. Lovely place to enjoy with a kids too. Probably not for vegeterians

C. S.

Very good food. Don't think dog should be allowed in the restaurant, especially the ones that were barking!!!

A. H.

Lovely meal in a really unique place, food amazing and staff great. Definitely recommend.

A. B.

Great food, may be the best burger in town!!!

Y. G.

Laid back, spacious diner, with great food. Child and dog friendly

G. F.

One of the best burgers I've ever eaten, and I've had a few! An excellent venue that runs with it's theme. A tall barn of a place, with kooky decor and fun touches everywhere that let you know you're not in a generic diner. The menu is not exhaustive but the burgers are the stars of the show. A big thumbs up for the non-alcoholic 'gin' type cocktails which are delicious and difficult to distinguish from the boozy versions. Friendly staff too and very fast service. Booking recommended to avoid disappointment. I'm extremely glad this place is a ferry trip away otherwise this place would cost me a fortune!

K. F.

Great place, super friendly staff and food is brilliant, specially halloumi fritters-yum!

S. M.

Excellent steak, trimmings and presentation a little lacklustre for the price. Nice venue, would have been nice to see a real cow!

P. R.

Very good...and well organised...Nice music. I was expecting some fresh mozzarella.good food.

c.

Great food. Attentive and friendly staff. Social distancing well executed.

Loved the food Best burgers ever, you must visit.

What an excellent Burger Meat Joint. Loved the lunch on the mezzanine level. The meat is exceptional and their award wining burger is truly amazing...I had the Brie Happy burger......exceptional The kids loved the Milkshakes with the mini donuts on top. Loved this place.....Brilliant

D. B.

Great food and service ever time we have been and the best place to take man's best friend too!!!! Blanket,a drink and biscuits too your dog!!!

J. d. V.

Second trip to Isle of Wight, second trip to the cow. It's the best

Great place but limited menu

K. T.

Great food, quick service, always eat here when on the island.

A. J.

Great burgers and ordering app was very easy to use

D. B.

Service and ambience was what to expect and was good. Fillet steak was not really up to par - starters however were very good

J. F.

Great burgers, good portion sizes

M. K.

Best burgers 🍔 on Isle of Wight ❤️

K. P.

We love it here. The interior is fab, the location is beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff are lovely.

S. e. A.

Delicious burgers!

J. A.

Where for dinner with family, was really nice. Nice location, nice food, nice decor, decent staff. Knocking a star off because pudding is basically ice cream or nothing, which isn't what I'd hope for after a decent burger. Maybe better for lunch than dinner.

K. C.

Order on an app. Meal and drinks arrive at table. Great food brilliant!!

J. G.

Delicious Burgers!! Also, fast and friendly service and fair prices! 🙌🏼

S. H. L.

Best burger I ever had in my life. No joking

C. H.

Amazing place, perfect atmosphere and some incredible food 🤤🤤

A. E.

Nice food, although a 10% surcharge for a tip without much notification ( a small sign on the door as you leave) a little sneaky

R. K.

Very friendly staff, food was excellent and not expensive well worth a visit

J. B.

Great burgers, generous portions + friendly and attentive sevice

S. C.

Burgers were delicious and service was excellent!

G. A.

Nice fish although it didn’t come with any veg

S. G.

Great food and great service from friendly staff👍

C. O.

Best burger I think I have ever had! Would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area. 4 stars because there is only 1 steak on the menu?

J.

Great stuff great food

I.

Great food. Great service. Nice view. An all around great place for families.

D. P.

Great food, great service, great company

G. G.

Top notch grub! Great food friendly staff and peroni on tap

S. N.

The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly.

J. E.

Generous portions, friendly staff and a rustic/quirky atmosphere. I enjoyed the many cow paintings on the wall. Prices are probably a bit on the higher end of things, but the quality of the food was top notch too, so it didn't feel too steep.

F.

Great burgers and chips. The portobello mushroom burger was incredible even as a non-veggie. Will be coming back!

N. L.

Best burgers on the island. Great place to visit and great kids menu.

J. C.

We had a really lovely lunch here after a visit to the Needles. The burgers were very tasty with a good selection to choose from. Ordering was easy through the QR code on the table and staff were friendly. I tried to book through their website and it was showing as no availability so I called and got a table no problem. Milkshakes looked amazing, too sweet for my taste (luckily the beer was also good) but my kids loved them. Completely recommended!

S. R.

Great variety of burgers in a lovely setting. On the pricey side but worth it. The side of coleslaw was huge, more than enough for 4 people!

M. B.

Was recommended that we book in advance and glad we did. Food was reasonably quick to be served and it didn't disappoint. It was amazing. Ample space for 2 or a family of 10. Lovely gift shop on site and a petting zoo.

Z. S.

Amazing! Food was amazing and big portions! nice places to visit Will definitely be going again!

B. C.

We love it here! Options for the whole family and good children's menu. We went twice in the week we visited IoW recently. We love the chocolate milkshake too! The sweet potato fries and chicken were very good 😋 My husband loved his steak and chips.

P. L.

Really great food - burgers were delicious and very fresh ingredients. Fries also lovely and big portions. Was well organised and tables outside socially distanced. Service was excellent and staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend. Farm shop also great. Looks like they have some great family activities onsite too when things start to open up a bit more. Highly recommended.

J. J.

The food was really good. The ambiance of the place is spectacular.

D.

Lovely food! Staff were friendly,waited along time for our meal but good portions. I had a Burger and it was delicious.

P. W.

This place is just great. The Pig Smoke burger is the best beefburger I've had and the place has live music too. Staff are friendly and helpful and look like they're enjoying themselves.

P. D.

Great food, we had their burgers and they were excellent. Milks shakes are good too. Service was also very good. We sat upstairs with views over the countryside.

H. D.

Burgers were delicious and service was quick and friendly. Kids fish and chips was also lovely. Kids macaroni cheese was not so good ( but was only £5 ).

A. N.

I came here as a solo diner on a whim after looking for somewhere to grab dinner last minute. I made a reservation on their website and it was confirmed within a couple of hours. I brought my pooch with me, great that it's dog-friendly. The staff were very welcoming and I was very impressed with their service. Food was yummy too, I had the Smoky Burger and there was plenty of it. The gingerbread panna cotta for dessert was tasty too, perhaps didn't need so much compote but was still good. When I'm next on my Isle of Wight adventure I'll be sure to pop back.

C. S.

Great location. Lots of parking very friendly staff. Food is amazing, they really know what they're doing when it comes to burgers! Dirty fries are incredible. I wish they weren't a ferry trip away!

G. H.

Probably the best burger I have ever had and I have had a lot and eaten all over the world. Went as group and staff very helpful and explained the c19 dining drill. Food and drinks all ordered on the app very efficient. Food was great and can recommend the big smoke burger with dirty fries. Well worth a visit as in exceptional location with views of the sea from the cow field

R. S.

After seeing the signage saying the best burgers on the Isle of Wight I thought we well needed to try. I don't think that signage does it justice. It needs to read the best burgers in Britain. Wow what a burger and what a view

J. R.

I’ve had plenty of burgers in my time but these burgers are 💯 the best I’ve ever had,full of flavour and a great sized portion. My family all agree that theses really are the best burgers on the island and even mainland 😉⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

J. H.

Wow! Probably the best burger I have ever had! Greeted with a smile. Really good 'covid-care' service with plenty of hand sanitiser, space between tables and an online ordering app that was really easy to use. Beautiful views out over the countryside. I ordered the Blue Cheese burger with 'dirty' fries and it was amazing. Huge portion size so not only good value for money but absolutely delicious. My wife had the mushroom burger and said she can't wait to get back to try it again! Kids enjoyed their meals as well and portion sizes were perfect. Can't wait to visit again next time we're (allowed) on the island!!

A. P.

Very nice restaurant a bit away from usual paths. Next to the attraction farm center. Outside there's a shop where they serve the only good coffee on entire island.

M. O.

Excellent food. The burger was to die for (thanks cow). Lactose free bun and cheese option was a lovely surprise. Shame this place it's not nearer to where I live. Great value for money. We are big fans and will come again.

A. M.

Amazing food and excellent friendly staff, me and my wife had a honeymoon during lockdown, it was incredible, we rode bikes all the way to the cow in the rain, the food made us forget about how wet and cold we were 😂😂 we had an excellent time and would definitely make the effort to revisit this establishment if we return to the IOW, 5 stars!!!

G. A. S. A.

One of the best burgers I've had... I'm not really a big fan of burgers because they tend to be too dry or too messy for me. However the way the patties were cooked were just right, it's has the right texture on the outside and juicy on the inside. But the highlight of the burgers for me, were the buns. There's just something about the bun that goes well with the patties and anything you put in it. They serve big portions and you can have half of it to go and it'll still taste the same.It is a must try and also very affordable. They implemented a good protocol on handling business during this CoVid era, it gives confidence to the customers that their food are handled well. The staff are also very accommodating and the place is well maintained.

P. G.

Not going to lie The best burger I've ever had ...a must to visit..can't wait to go back and try the other stuff on the menu. Staff were great , highly recommended

P.

Nicely themed restaurant in a super spot on the farm. Upstairs seating has great views, burgers were really nice but a tad expensive so we went for plain ones. Plenty to do on farm as well so thumbs up 👍👍from me.

G. S.

The food was amazing. My steak was extremely tasty, very tender, very well cooked, my partner's hamburger was equally tasty and very, very loaded! We sat outside, which was a bit cold, but the food more than made up for it.

T. Y.

Great (outdoor) Pub food (mostly Burgers- which are all delicious). Had a fish burger, cajun chicken burger & one vegan Portobello mushroom+Sundried tomato burger... all dee-lish. In short: RECOMMEND.

P. H.

Fantastic place. Food was great served by great staff in a lovely environment. Would highly recommend.

k. b.

Our first time visiting the island and we came across this place. The staff are cool and welcoming, its dog friendly (which was a bonus for us) and the greekish burger that I ordered was STUNNING!! We would reccomend this place to EVERYONE visiting the island, and we will definately be visiting this place again soon

M.

Great food Best burgers around! Very tasty indeed. Unique place will return

C.

Visited The Cow for my daughters 21st birthday 🎂 this eatery is one of a kind! We were seated upstairs and the views are absolutely outstanding! The staff went above and beyond as I had forgotten my daughters birthday cake and they added candles to our dessert! Plus the food was delicious 😋 and the staff very smiley and friendly! Will definitely visit again thank you 😊

B. C.

We love it here! Options for the whole family and good children's menu. We went twice in the week we visited IoW recently. We love the chocolate milkshake too! The sweet potato fries and chicken were very good 😋 My husband loved his steak and chips.

G. B.

Great rural location, food and service was spot on,quick and friendly. Good quality burgers, and they have electric vehicle charging points 👍

S. C.

Decided on impulse to stop in at lunchtime. Only a couple of tables occupied when we arrived but none available when we left! Very popular and can see why, the classic burger is piled high with a very generous helping of delicious fries. Got to be up there for best burger on the island surely? Could probably have done without the adorable cow/calf pictures looking down on me though :)

S. L.

Amazing burgers, surely the best on the island. I've tried 4 here so far and would highly recommend all. Food ordering app is simple and easy to use, great service 👌

A. W. D. T.

We had 2 great meals here whilst visiting Isle of Wight. The burger was amazing then we had the chateaubriand from the specials that was equally amazing. Highly recommended to anyone visiting.

A. B.

Amazing visit here on 17.04.22 absolutely loved it after a day out at Tapnell Farm!! They also accept blue light card! Although the money is totally worth it!!

Not really impressed. The food was mediocre, nothing to rave about. Asked for a bitter shandy and the waitress didn't even know what bitter was. Order was presented wrong, one waitress even told me I was wrong when I asked for a different type of burger bun. Staff standing in groups chatting. Overcharged and when questioned was made to feel as if I shouldn't have, excuses made by staff. We won't be returning for overpriced average food.

Lovely restaurant. Had the best burger there ever. Took our two whippets and my daughters dog all made very welcome. We had the Big burger, Pig Burger, one with Brie they are as good as the other. Chips are amazing also.

Fantastic views, fast service and special burgers including at least 3 vegetarian burgers options. There were probably other choices too but I didn't get that far on the menu. Definitely a good find.

Best burger I have ever experienced. Had the 'Matador' and a side of coleslaw which was huge! Delicious and highly recommended.

Nice and friendly staff, the food ordering was done via their website, and the food was ready relatively quickly. I had one of their burgers and it was amazing, I will definetly return and try more of their items in their menu.

Have been a couple of times now when over the island and would have no hesitation going again. Staff are always pleasant and attentive, even when busy and the food is always top notch, especially the steak, cooked to perfection. To avoid disappointment would recommend booking, especially in peak season.

Food is amazing! Not the cheapest but incredible burgers.

A family lunch. Now we don't like to brag, but we do seem to eat our fair share of burgers, and we like to think we have had the best.. well from this visit we now know we have had the best. The service shakes and burgers were amazing. Could eat here every day.

Really enjoyed the burgers here - so much so that we returned a few days later. Easy to order on app and had quick service. Nicely chilled water served up in addition to our drinks. Not an extensive menu but what we had was all very good. My only slight issue was that this is served in a cardboard carton and I would much rather eat off a plate in a restaurant - however this did not bother my other half at all and proper cutlery is supplied - so no stars deducted! Our dog was welcomed too. We felt the service was friendly & efficient and look forward to returning in the future. That was Sep 2021. **UPDATED JUNE 2022 - very good service once again - excellent server and I’m pleased to say we had our food served on plates.

Absolutely brilliant food, best burger we have ever had, beats 5 guys and all the rest.

Wonderful place for families to enjoy a great lunch. Super selection of menu items and excellent cocktails. Highly recommended as part of any visit to Tapnell Farm on the 🏝

Genuinely the best burger I've ever had! I had the matador, with the best softest tastiest chorizo and prefect amount of spice and heat. The fries were crunchy on the outside and soft inside and the gluten free bun was perfect too. The salted caramel milkshake was delish and made with ice cream. Decor was brilliant, loads of wood, cow artwork, with an industrial creative farm vibe. Views are lovely, service fab! Can't recommend this place enough. They even have great looking vegetarian and vegan stuff. Yum.

Easy to book a table via the website, easy to order and pay via their app. It was fairly quiet when I was there but service was really fast after ordering, drinks and desserts arrived within seconds! Staff really friendly too. Amazing place, various types of accommodation and assorted activities on the same site.

If you like Falafel‘s I can highly recommend the one from the Wrap Shack at The Cow, Tapnell Farm. Whenever I eat out and there is Falafel on the menu I order it, and I can say these are up with the best in the World I have ever had! My husband had the Chicken wrap and really enjoyed his.

R. B.

Would highly recommend, our food was very tasty, staff friendly, food arrived quickly and toilet clean and modern. Seems a lot to do here for the families, so you could make a day of it.

Lovely food, giant portions! Great atmosphere and obviously covid safe - a definite recommendation!

Great place to go when it's raining. We had a nice lunch here, then went and played pool and drank lovely cocktails in a kind of annex they have on side of restaurant.

Best burger in a long time, great setting friendly staff, a must visit if you are in the area, other attractions on site as well.

Evening meal with the wife and puppy, staff very attentive, offered a bowl of water for the dog. Live music outside on the grassed area. Bar nibbles, olives, sundried tomatoes, onions, salt crust nuts absolutely delicious. Main we both had the pig smoked burger, beef patty topped with pulled pork. Rates highly as possibly the best burger I've had and I've had a lot of burgers!! Beers from the IOW brewery, very nice. Overall a very enjoyable evening.

Best burger I had in a while definitely come to cow if you want a decent burger. Been isle of wight twice now and this a place you must come, definitely worth the price

We had a birthday meal for my 19 Yr old son, there were 6 of us on a Thursday evening. The restaurant was almost full but our food came within 15 mins.

L. B.

Had a lovely Sunday roast - dessert was delicious and the coffee was pretty good too. Child friendly - my toddler enjoyed her food as well as the activity pack - big thumbs from us!

R. S.

One of the best burger joints I've been to. Visited for lunch whilst staying at Tom's Eco Lodge. Recommend the 'Burger Sharing Platter', was the perfect for the two of us. Amazing setting and very uniquely decorated. Make sure you book ahead though!

G. W.

The food was so utterly good, that I could almost put it on my Christmas list

M. P.

Great food can't wait to go back

Was visiting the island for a few days with my other half, The Cow was recommended by work colleagues who’d been before, and for good reason, the place is just spot on. Simple online table booking and meal ordering system (we used their app for the food which is easy to use). Welcoming staff, rustic decor with a sense of humour, a venue that’s great for families, friends and couples alike. For all the simplicity the food was top notch, the burgers really ruining my current favourite place on the mainland. So good we went back again the following day. Making plans to return to the island with friends on our bikes and make this our lunch stop. Recommended to me, I’d recommend The Cow to anyone.

Mooooooo... Stumbled here by fate and so glad we did, as soon as we walked in the server was so cheery and happy. The burgers were so juicy and massive! Very reasonable price for the portion and quality! The mocktails were very yummy too. Will definitely come back when I visit Iow again! ❤️
