Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Red Cow

Attractive-looking Greene King pub with an interesting facade, although less so inside. Small and basic bar with two bow windows, darts in a side alcove and a tiny rear room with a skittles table and another darts board. I found five cask ales on offer here in my previous visit in 2012, but just Old Speckled Hen (£2.00, half) and Landlord this time.

A couple of decently laid out rooms inside giving a decent pubby feel. More seating upstairs was advertised on the wall so attempted to have a look but was admonished halfway up the stairs by an increasingly stroppy landlady saying it was closed and forbade me from even having a peek.
The two beers were Old Speckled Hen and Landlord, so it was a second pint of the latter on this trip for me.
I've knocked a point off for the stroppy landlady/bar person.

The adverb "thunkingly" may well join my vocabulary after reading the previous review. The limited cask beer range wouldn't be much of an enticement to most, but I had my eyes opened to how good Old Speckled Hen can be, if well looked after, when on a trip to Norfolk a month ago, so I went for that in preference over Landlord on the other hand pump. I was not disappointed (NBSS 3.5, £3.70/pint), though the clunky modern glass is a bit of a handful.
