After a busy week working on my dissertation and all the other stuff third year throws at you I desperately needed to get out of the house. With limited money as a student (but still enough to go shopping everyday of the week and buy something I ‘need’), I wanted to go for dinner somewhere relatively inexpensive.
Many people had recommended Cowherds to me but I have never actually been there myself so I thought I would give it a try. So off I went with some friends in my usual attire (UGG boots and shorts if you haven’t noticed) to see what all the fuss was about.
We found ourselves a nice little table next to the log fire where we proceeded to look over the menu, our stomachs sounding more and more like tigers as we viewed the mouth-watering dishes.
As a vegetarian that eats fish I chose the fish and chips for main and as a poor student I chose not to have a starter, although I have heard the breaded mushrooms and baked camembert are worth a try! Off I went to the bar to place my order along with a ‘lemonade and lime with no ice’. I was pleasantly surprised with the price…for just under £10 I was sorted.
After a short wait our food arrived much to our stomachs delight. The waitress offered us a variety of sauces to which the ketchup was imminently emptied…oops. With lemon squeezed over my fish and LOADS of black pepper I tucked in. Within minutes my food was gone (thanks to my friends and their ten minute rule!!).
The meal was delicious and for under £10 I was very satisfied and will definitely be returning again. I would recommend Cowherds to anyone, particularly if you want an inexpensive but nice meal out. Check out the menu for yourself at http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/thecowherdssouthampton/food/.
