The Cock Inn, Mugginton Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Been here twice now and on both occasions the food has been absolutely amazing."
• "The 3 course festive meal was excellent value for money at £27 per head."
• "Went here for a Sunday roast for the first time & was extremely impressed."
• "The food was superb and easily rivaled places that charge vastly more, the portions were surprisingly large."
• "Absolutely fantastic service! The food was delicious and every plate was cleared!"
• "Wonderful warm welcome, seated immediately, and food was served hot and quickly, it was very tasty."
• "The food here was excellent, as was the service."
• "Good menu and staff super attentive, we sat in the cosy farmhouse side and had the soup and veggie burger, vegan cheese so all good."

Cons:

• "Third attempt to eat a vegetarian meal here, but wasn't impressed."
• "The olive oil was tasteless so we took most of the sourdough home to eat with better oils/balsamic vinegar."
• "Sourdough came with olive oil and balsamic vinegar however the oil tasted surprisingly bland and balsamic vinegar also tasted below par."
• "The beef skewer was dry and lacked favour despite advertised as marinated with black bean sauce."
• "Ordered sourdough, beef skewer as starter, Malaysian chicken laksa as main with spicy sesame green beans. Sourdough and laksa were average."
• "Despite the food, service was good."
• "Beef skewers are a great alternative to a steak and worth a try."
• "Waited an hour for food and was then served the worst roast potatoes I've ever had. Absolutely rock hard."

Service Quality

Pros:

• "The staff were very friendly and helpful. Fantastic service. The food was excellent also."
• "The young lady who looked after us while clearly busy was great and well worth a mention. Will be going back very soon."

Cons:

• "The only negative would be how long we were left waiting. We were in a garden pod and there was a considerable wait for our order to be taken."
• "We were sat at our table in the bar area which was empty when we arrived. We waited and waited and no one came to the table."
• "Lovely food and the staff were very nice but the noise from the live music and party in the bar area was horrendous."
• "We didn't eat, only popped in for a couple of drinks. A very friendly greeting and great service given."
• "Love this place but disappointed with our last visit. Meal lukewarm - had to send back."
• "The restaurant was very, very, very cold and the service was very, very, very slow. Sat for an hour and a half in the bitter cold."
• "Been here a few times now and while the food good for this sort of fair the service is drastically lacking."
• "Lovely setting in the countryside and a lovely renovation of an old pub. Generally have Thornbridge Jaipur on cask which is a bonus."
