About The Red Cow

A quiet gastropub in Reading, which makes a real difference when you're eating with children who need a bit of calm around them — you can hear each other, and no one's competing with a wall of noise. The kids' menu and high chairs mean you can walk in with a toddler and it's already sorted, and gluten-free options are there if someone in the family needs them. Step-free access makes the buggy a non-issue, and there's outdoor seating for when little ones need air. Worth booking ahead.
