Quinno _ left this review about The Red Cow
Vintage Inn on the A47. Thatched roof and it looks attractive from the outside though once you get your eye in you can see that it is a few years past its prime and needing a bit of TLC. Very quiet for a Thursday lunchtime though no sign of food which was surprising, despite a large and quite nice dining area. Building is clearly of age though internally it's mainly 'vintage modern' in terms of feel and decor, inoffensive and a bit bland with some COVID era grey/green paint in the main bar. Three ales over four pumps, national brews in Pride, Pedigree plus a middling - and eye-wateringly expensive – TT Landlord (NBSS 2.5). Down-at-the-mouth atmosphere on a weekday afternoon.

This has become a populat place recently. It's part of a chain [Vintage Inns] and gets a lot of trade from its adjoining motel, who are lucky to have it on the doorstep! Batemans XXXB is always on plus a guest beer, inevitably in good condition. Mainly a dining pub now, but you're not made unwelcome if not eating. Worth a visit if you're passing by on the A47
