About the Vibe
The Cow in East Village is a reliable Geronimo Inn that trades on its stadium views and hearty British fare rather than cutting-edge cocktails. You'll find it packed on weekends when the football's on, serving up juicy steaks and Sunday roasts to a mix of locals and Westfield shoppers escaping the crowds. It's not the most atmospheric pub in London, but it's a solid choice for a casual meal with decent beer and a terrace that gets the sun.

Solid stadium-view pub with hearty British fare
The Cow is a Geronimo Inn pub located in East Village, just a short walk from Stratford Station and overlooking the London Stadium. It's the kind of place you'd head to after a day of shopping at Westfield or to catch a match with mates. The menu leans heavily into British pub classics—think burgers, steaks, and a proper Sunday roast if you're feeling indulgent. They've also got a reputation for their ABBA-themed brunch, which is a fun twist on the usual weekend offering.
The atmosphere is lively, especially on weekends when the sports are on and the terrace fills up. Service can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on how busy it gets, and some reviewers have noted occasional rudeness during peak times. The food is generally decent for a chain pub—nothing groundbreaking, but the steaks are reportedly juicy and the portions are generous. It's not a hidden gem for cocktail enthusiasts, but if you're after a reliable spot for a casual meal with good beer and views of the park, The Cow gets the job done.
