ROB Camra left this review about Spotted Cow

Multi roomed traditional pub with a pool table in one room. No real ale is served here now, so I had a Holts Bitter smooth. I was just going to have a half, but the barman said that a pint is only £2 as it's happy hour. So inevitably I had a pint. I've never had a pint of Holts smooth before and it was rather drinkable. Ticking over nicely on a Friday afternoon. Absolutely streets above its near neighbour The Old Crow.
