The Bountiful Cow - heavy on cows, light on cats.
We arrived shockingly early because the weather was really bad yesterday and it wasn't the evening for traipsing around town looking for somewhere to drink. The pub was fairly empty when we arrived, so we went straight to our table and had a nice bottle of red wine (Spanish, 100% grenache grapes, but I forgot to make a note of the name).
The Toptable reward menu was pretty good and not as limited as some restaurants' special offer menus. I chose the smoked salmon to start and I was pleased by how much of it there was! For the main course we both chose the onglet which was served with bread and very nice chips. It was a good quality steak and was cooked almost perfectly. All in all this was no-frills food but was nicely prepared and served.
The only problem was the kitty-lack. It said on the website that the pub had a couple of cats (as pets - not on the menu ...) and we were somewhat looking forward to that. But we didn't see them.
