You'd think you'd have to spend a bomb to get unbeatable views of a major landmark, quality food, excellent drinks and a chic yet relaxed setting. However, The Cow has all these things and remains very reasonably priced. Splendid! Choose between The Private Parlour, The Fish Bowl and the Bar for your shindig. There is also an outside area with spectacular views of The Olympic Park. Winning.
