Welcome to the Old Red Cow!
An independent Pub in the heart of Farringdon, serving great food, fine ales, and good times - every single day.
Tucked away in Smithfield, just opposite the Farringdon Elizabeth Line, The Old Red Cow is an independent pub full of character and charm. Whether you’re enjoying a pint in our cosy downstairs bar overlooking Smithfield Market or heading upstairs to our lively space for gatherings and private events, it’s the perfect spot to relax and unwind in the heart of the City.
We serve proper British pub food, from fish and chips and hearty pies to our classic Sunday roasts, alongside a brilliant range of local beers and quality wines and spirits.
Open seven days a week, it’s a favourite destination for good food, great drinks and a warm welcome.
