"Already in it’s eleventh year, The Cowshed opened back in 2009 with a focus on serving great food in a relaxed environment and they’ve stayed the course ever since. The man behind the ethos, Adam Denton, noted he wanted the addition of a restaurant where he was able to combine an “informal setting with an emphasis on quality, local produce” into the already thriving food scene of his hometown and so The Cowshed was born in a store on Whiteladies Road. Fitting that the front looks like a butchers shop, albeit a little more posh."

"With a focus on using locally sourced produce, The Cowshed in Clifton bases its menus around the British seasons, which means the main menu changes throughout the year. They’re best known for their incredible steaks which tend to be associated with a higher price. However, The Cowshed has a set lunch menu and an early bird deal which are both available throughout the week at unbelievable prices."

"The Cowshed are widely recognised as one of Bristol's best restaurants for their timeless decor and utterly delicious menu. Food doesn't get much fresher as they source their meat from the butcher next door, only using cuts that can be traced back to the farm and breed of cow."

"Next door, you'll find its sibling, the Real Italian Pizza Co, which, with its wood-fired oven and thin crusts, is bringing proper pizza to Bath (£6.95 - £9.95). This creperia and gelateria, meanwhile, concentrates on the sweet stuff. The honeycomb pieces were rather humdrum, but, otherwise, an intensely fresh and creamy vanilla cone is testament to the Italians' fastidiousness over food."
