Cow Oak Freehouse And Terrace

The Sunday lunch at this restaurant was fantastic. The service was friendly and attentive without making us feel rushed. It was busy but we didn't feel hurried. The meal was great value for money and the food was delicious, especially the Yorkshire puddings which were perfect.

I have been visiting this restaurant for lunch for about a year now, always enjoying the amazing burger and "real" homemade chips. However, today was a disappointment. There has been a change in chefs and the burger was tiny and lost in the bun, the chips were greasy and tasted artificial, and the salad was drowning in olive oil. I asked for my burger to be pan-fried instead of chargrilled, but the bun ended up being chargrilled. I mentioned my disappointment to the staff at the time. I hate to leave a negative review, but this experience was awful.

Love the new food menu at cow and oak. Such a lovely bright atmosphere, friendly staff and food was yummy

Some of our meals were mediocre. Other than that, we had a lovely experience. It was very quiet and was quite nice to be able to hear each other speak. Good music was being played and the pub was airy and bright.We ordered drinks and they were presented very well, really went the extra mile for the gins!Food wise we ordered 2 burgers with all the extra feedback was that it was very delicious and the best brisket my wife has had to date, which beats some pretty decent American restaurants! I had calamari and cod sandwich, all ok, but slightly greasy. The focaccia didn’t have much taste in the way of rosemary, so perhaps something to work on. The ham, egg and chips was again the same, just ok. Reasonable prices for food and wouldn’t be put off to come here again. It may be nice to expand the menu to include a few more main meals. We were also told at 9pm that they were not serving puddings, so they lost out on money for 3 fairly simple puddings. We will definitely be back for drinks, but not as sure about the food.

Couldn't be happier to have chosen the Cow and Oak for my partners surprise 30th Birthday party. We had 45 guests and the space was perfect for this number, you could even squeeze more. The funky decor feels very homely, the staff were amazing, the garden space was just the right size and perfect being sheltered from the elements and heated. Choice of drinks behind the bar is very good and everyone commented on how great the food looked and tasted! Thank you very much for being so accommodating. Great venue 5* service! I will certainly be visiting again with friends for drinks and food. Location is also perfect, just across the road from the seafront in central worthing.
