The situation was brought under control by midnight and nobody was hurt.

Steven Jones, manager at the Phoenix Hotel said: 'It was unbelievable, we have never seen anything like it here before.

'The cows were all moving at quite a pace, and a few ran past on the pavement right next to the pub.

'It is lucky that it was not 10 or 15 minutes earlier, as a lot of people had just left and had been standing outside the pub.
