Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The Cow Shed's strengths lie in its generous portion sizes and the overall value for money, especially during Sunday lunches. Regular patrons rave about the rich flavors and fresh ingredients evident in every bite, particularly the chicken curry, perfectly paired with naan and chips.
Desserts here are another major draw, praised for their delightful presentation and taste—ideal for diners with a sweet tooth. Friendly, attentive service also enhances the dining experience, making guests feel welcomed and appreciated. The casual atmosphere is perfect for relaxing with friends or family while enjoying a hearty meal.
Most Disliked
A few patrons have mentioned the overwhelming portion sizes, indicating that some dishes could be lightened up with more vegetables and healthier options. While generous meals suit many, a bit more balance on the plate could cater to those seeking lighter fare.
During peak hours, especially on weekends, wait times can extend, leading to a packed and sometimes noisy environment. This can detract from the experience for those preferring a quieter meal. Additionally, some diners have expressed a desire for a wider range of vegetarian and vegan dishes, emphasizing a growing demand for plant-based options in the menu.

Love it ❤️ for the food taste and service. £15 will feed more than an average person just be aware there will be a lot of carbs and meet, very tasty though. I'd love to see some lighter options with plenty of vegetables. I had chicken curry which arrived with rice naan and chips. All large portions including the chicken.

Today I visited the Cow Shed for Sunday lunch for Father’s Day and what an incredible experience we had. From the moment we stepped through the door to the moment we left we had such a great experience. The staff were polite and friendly right the way through and I couldn’t have asked for anything else. The food was delicious and was 10/10. If you’re looking for somewhere to go I would definitely recommend the Cow Shed. Thank you to the staff that work there you made my experience spectacular

I was recommended to visit this place and was not disappointed. The staff were attentive, the food was excellent and the portions generous. For value for money this place can't be beaten for Sunday lunch. The chef obviously cares about what he/she does because everything was seasoned to perfection. As a family of (quite) fussy eaters, there were happy bellies all round. Congratulations to you all, you're building yourselves an impressive reputation.

Have just returned from a birthday lunch. What a lovely time we had. The young lady was really lovely and went out of her way to make our lunch enjoyable. Food was great and if any criticism it would be that portion sizes were very generous. I had the Chicken Skewers with rice and curry sauce. 6 in our party all enjoyed no complaints at all. Fab. Thanks again. Would definitely recommend this restaurant

Sunday dinner was lush. Very good portions with the pork and crackling, we even had an unexpected surprise with a side of cauliflower cheese. Extra gravy was no issue. Left so stuffed. Thank you!

Hello where do I start. What a brilliant evening our Morriston Pilates group of friends shared in The Cowshed, Clydach. The staff are very friendly and engaging, absolutely nothing was to much trouble to ensure our needs were met. The food was outstanding with very big portions at an extremely reasonable price. What more could we ask for! Parking was very good with various locations near the restaurant. Thank you all for making our evening special, we will certainly be back to sample your very varied menu.
