Cock Inn Reviews Summary

Atmosphere

• "The pub had a lovely atmosphere."
• "Warm, comfortable and friendly atmosphere."
• "Nice, calm and relaxed atmosphere."
• "Great vibes, lovely food couldn't ask for more really."
• "Atmosphere very good prices are very reasonable."
• "This is our regular local where we eat, drink and occasionally participate in the quiz on a Sunday evening."
• "Thought I’d try this place and meet a friend from work as it’s local and I hadn’t ventured inside yet. I must admit though i was glad I did! Not only did they provide a very warm (heating on, on a cold wet day!) environment, the bar staff greeted us with smiles and a friendly manner."

Cons:

• "General lack of atmosphere really, but spacious and nicely situated, good car parking too."
• "Everything was fine and going well until the quiz started. It would be nice if there was a quiet area for people not engaging in the quiz to relax."
• "The only thing negative I would say is surroundings looking a bit tired, it could do with being modernised."
• "The decor was very dated, I suppose it appeals to clientele of a certain age, but I’m not sure how many youngsters watch ‘On the Busses’ or still read The Dandy?"
• "So when inside this may look like a typical oldish run down family pub."
• "Complete waste of money, it’s so dated and it’s obvious you only really care about your senior citizens."
• "A bit of attention to cleanliness. We sat outside in one of their pods which has suffered a bit from mould on the wood."

• "Staff were friendly and efficient."

Cons:

• "Staff not really friendly, over a 40 min for food."
• "Also place smelt musty like bedbugs."
• "Poor service, long waites between starter and main, batter on onion rings over cooked, same with chips, chicken dry and expensive for the quality of food."
• "No one asked if everything was OK with our meals."
• "Service was fine but the food left a lot to be desired the first plate of mussels I got was so over cooked the second wasn't any better."

Cons:

• "Curry tasted like it was from a jar, there were 5 small pieces of chicken in the whole thing."
• "Just thinking of the food we were presented with here makes me shudder! I had a dry gristly burger and my brother asked for a medium cooked steak which was so over cooked!"
• "The roasties weren’t crispy, not enough Turkey, no Yorkshire pudding, frozen veg and pig in blanket was not cooked enough."
• "Sadly not a particularly good experience. Can't be bothered to say too much but the food had been over cooked/ kept hot so was pretty inedible."
• "I also returned my steak as it was cold! The peas were rock hard, the steak was tough, the tomato had a strange taste."
• "My wife's vegetarian roast was tepid and cold and the gravy was like dishwater."
