With its tiled floors and exposed beams it has a comfortable and traditional country pub ambience to it.
Overlooking the Guildhall car park, which was the old cattle market, you cannot miss the large red cow on the front of this timber-framed pub. Historically, this pub was the watering hole for market traders in years gone by.
There are up to six ales including one usually from the Ramsgate brewery and cider is from Broomfield. The number and range of ales can vary according to the season.
Everyone is catered for with areas for drinkers, diners, bar billiards players and there is a pleasant sun-trap garden.
There's a quiz night every Sunday and a TV is brought down for major sporting events.

We had a pie and chips with vegetables. Probably the worse meal we have ever had in Sandwich. The pie was mundane and the chips not nice but the peas and carrots were obviously frozen. The carrots were all the same size and still cold on the inside. The toilets were not clean and the floor was dirty. We will not go back. The only positive was the pint. It was very cheap but no point having a cheap meal if it tastes awful.
Fantastic pub with welcoming staff. We couldn't rate the Sunday roasts highly enough this weekend. We were a large group camping nearby and had a few drink stops to shelter from the rain at the Red Cow and the staff especially the landlord was so friendly, the service was great. We came back on Sunday for a delicious roast and a lovely drink in the garden listening to the brilliant live music. Highly rated thanks guys we will be back! 👍
Coffee was shocking until we pointed that out which was then replaced and slight improvement. We got no more milk with the replaced coffees until we asked. Platter (for 3) and coffee (for 2) was the only thing to eat and we feel it was expensive (total £36) for what it was. Nice old pub though. No menus on show or description of platter!? Also, only one person serving at bar and food.
Lovely pub in the quaint and quite lovely town of Sandwich. Few specials and a simple menu. Good portions. Lovely staff. Dog friendly.
The best Sunday roast in Thanet by a mile. Tastes like the home cooked roast my dear old Nan used to make. Even the gravy was heavenly. We ordered two lamb shank roasts. The lamb fell off the bone and almost melted in the mouth. Crispy and fluffy roast potatoes, roasted carrots and a very generous serving of varied green veg. They even served a side plate of cauliflower and broccoli cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly. Staff are attentive and we were greeted with a warm welcome. Very good selection of real ales. Had London pride and two Gadds. I opted for the Gadds Folk'n'ale. A light, mildly hoppy ale which is only 3.8%. Served with a smile. The locals are very friendly, which adds to the charm of this cosy, beautiful pub. But THAT roast dinner....
