Allestree's FAVOURITE FOOD PUB
With hundreds of years at the heart of the community, our country pub has long been a favourite with locals and ramblers alike.
Generations of Allestree residents have used The Red Cow for weddings, wakes and birthdays. And nothing’s changed in that respect. As a traditional Derbyshire coaching inn we like to keep things simple: quality beers, great value pub-food and a friendly service. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to do, set off on one of the many nearby walks or simply soak up the scenery in our beer garden. Cozy up in our comforting bar area with a hot drink or if you fancy something a little stronger enjoy a Gin and Tonic from our ever expanding Gin Range.

A traditional 17th Century Derbyshire Coaching Inn nestling within the conservation area of Allestree village, the Red Cow sits next door to the 12th Century village church of St Edmunds.
Host to the local community for hundreds of years offering fantastic service, beautiful food, cask ales, and an ever expanding gin collection if you fancy something stronger.
Popular with families, ramblers and dog walkers alike, we are perfectly placed for a visit to Allestree Park and Hall. You can even bring your four legged friend to visit us in the bar area, where we also serve food or a hot drink to warm you up.

Marian PVerified A real treat! Went for a pre cricket, early doors dinner with our dear friends! We were welcomed and shown to our table, over looking the lovely garden, by the fabulous staff! The food was superb! Our friends have been through some challenging health issues recently, so we really wanted to share a special moment and the Red Cow certainly delivered! Thank you! Sam vickersVerified Fabulous meal Had a fabulous meal at the red cow, so much so we have booked to take the mother in law next week. The food was exceptional and high quality and plated like a work of art. The specials board is definitely one to look at first but the main menu and bar menu is just as Exellent.
