Cock Hotel in Telford and Wrekin

Recently moved to Wellington and booked for my fiancés birthday. Lovely ambience when entering the restaurant. We were served by Maia who was great. We were told the food would take a little while longer (as the pie I ordered was cooked to order) but it was the perfect amount of time after the starter. Oh and the crumble… you only need one to share!

Lived in Telford all my life, never been to The Cock Hotel. Seen so many lovey posts on Facebook about here. So as my friends and myself were due a catch-up. I chose The Cock Hotel. I was truly taken back with the whole venue and the food was amazing. This is my new go to place and definitely want to try their Sunday lunch.

Fantastic food, great service. Comedy name. What else do you want? Seriously though, the food was top draw. 100 characters

We held a surprise 40th birthday party for my wife at the Cock Hotel with 50+ guests. The Cock Hotel couldn't have been a better venue, they cordoned off two thirds of the dining area for us and we also paid for a hot and cold buffet to feed our guests. The staff were quick to bring out the buffet soon after the guests arrived and the food was wonderful. They had also catered for our gluten and diary-free guests. The setting and decor is modern and spacious with plenty of tables reserved for us, and Louise was sure to check that everything was ok for us. We saw lots of very nice looking roast dinners being served to other diners while we were there so will be sure to visit again for a Sunday lunch. Thanks again to the Cock Hotel team for hosting us!

Afternoon Tea was superb, the cock hotel takes some beating, not just for the top quality food but for the excellent service and just an amazing atmosphere staff are so friendly it makes for an amazing experience. Sandwiches was delicious well filled and the choice of filling was excellent, the warm sausage rolls and the scotch eggs were scrumptious, just had enough room for the scones with a huge helping of clotted cream and jam as for the rest of the food for which there was a lot well we took that home to enjoy later when we could eat again 10 out of 10.

This place is an absolutely beautiful place. I went here a week ago for a meal and it was amazing. The food was just in a league of it's own. They don't offer a huge over crowded menu. They focus more on quality over quantity. Although it's not a huge menu it had an option for every one. The prices are about the same as your normal pub grub places the food is so much better here. The staff are really polite, welcoming and helpful. The look and feel of this place makes you believe you are in a more rustic countryside pub. They had a singer in the bar area ( Daniel James acoustic) who was absolutely fantastic. He wasn't to loud as to where you couldn't hold a conversation and set a really pleasant atmosphere. I have already recommended this place to people and will definitely be going back very soon.

Excellent service and very helpful staff

The staff were very inviting we had booked & table had been prepared for us, very knowledgeable staff on the food & drinks

We had an afternoon tea for 2. It was amazing plenty of food to tuck into and it tasted great! All homemade and what we couldn’t finish they boxed and we took home for later. Will definitely be returning. We have been for many afternoon tea’s even at the Ritz Hotel and this one surpassed all others for quality.

Consistently great food and friendly service. Great menu, always cooked well, and run by a lovely team. Becoming a regular stop, we'll be back again soon

Another fabulous Sunday Lunch. Delicious food, great staff and service. We don't go anywhere else now. Looking forward to our next visit.

Fabulous afternoon tea yesterday at The Cock Hotel. Food was plentiful with a great variation of treats . Exceptional service and Exceptional value . Can't wait to go back.

Lovely building but the cask beer was disappointing.

Great Food and good Gluten free option and good value and lovely staff and great service

Excellent service from the start. Was immediate served and sat down with my order taken within minutes. 10 mins for starter, 9 mins for main then 2m5 mins for dessert, great service run by a clearly competent team and manager. The only thing I would but did not hinder the experience is the ability to be able to do card gratuity/tips for the staff. This wasn't an option unfortunately and not everyone has cash.

Had a lovely meal last night, the service and food was excellent. Also, a great atmosphere in the courtyard after for some drinks. I highly recommend

Had a bottomless brunch today it was fab, food was delicious and fresh, very ample portions (yes more than one) drinks were served regularly, staff were attentive, really polite and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend this. You won't be disappointed. Thank you to your team.

I had a gammon steak from here a year ago and it was gorgeous

Looks amazing inside kitted out well, the food is amazing if your a burger liver then this is the place to be staff very helpful and friendly will be visiting again soon

Had Sunday lunch which was amazing, plenty of food all very fresh… and the gravy was gorgeous. Staff were really friendly and it’s a lovely clean, quirky place. Can’t wait to return

We went for Sunday lunch at the Cock Hotel. There were eight of us and I can honestly say every single one of us was really impressed with the food and the service. We will definitely be returning soon

We had Sunday lunch here. It was absolutely delicious. Can’t fault anything. Great sized helpings, delicious food and excellent service.

Lovely pub. Good food good service

The bartender is very friendly and makes you happy. Watching the game on the big screen in the main hall was very clear and the atmosphere was great. My family and I enjoyed the experience of watching the game in the bar. So happy to have such a great bar and restaurant in this neighborhood. I would like to inquire shall we order the dinner menu during the football match? Thank you.

This was my third visit in a month and again it was faultless can't praise the staff enough and the food was amazing as always

Great food, particular favourite was the whipped mushroom parfait I started with - so light and flavourful. Good service from friendly staff and a really lovely atmosphere. A mixture of all ages, from babies to oldies, all having a fab night out.

Daughter and partner have literally just moved to Wellington today. Fabulous, cheerful pub with amazing food to boot and have the love for dogs.

Something for everyone - party of 6 we all enjoyed dinner. Staff super friendly and fun themed decor. Really tasty starters including: Salt Fish Fritters (really tasty) Pulled Jerk Chicken Stuffed Dumplings & Hot Pepper Shrimp (delicious), Mains included Curried Goat, Red Snapper Escovitch (bursting with flavours) & Jerk Chicken. Served with amazing sides including Rice and Peas, Mango Slaw,Fried Dumplings, Jerk Gravy & Sticky Sweet Plantains. We were all too full for dessert! Can’t wait for the next themed evening !!! Thank you

Fantastic service tonight. All the staff were brilliant even though they had a party of 30 in they dealt with our order promptly and we even got some free pork pies at the end. Food was amazing! Will definitely go back again and will recommend to others. Thanks guys!

Fabulous welcome from Simon ans Louise today popped in at lunchtime to sample the new summer menu. Had a delicious Caesar Salad with chicken, followed by Lemon tart and raspberry chantilly absolutely divine. Can't recommend the place highly enough. Don't walk run. Total satisfaction quality at affordable prices.

Stopped for a beer Great hotel. Will stop again

Fabulous food and service, and always have a great selection of ales from Joule's.

Haven't been here for years and what a change!! Will definitely be returning for food.

Visited the pub. Lovely atmosphere and drinks were great.

Been a few times now. Food is great and services is always excellent.

Such a lovely welcome we had today. 24 of us had a charity drive and finished our day off with lunch. Just want to thank Simon and his wonderful staff. The food was so delicious l,your staff are very helpful and very cheerful. Such a lovely pub. We will definitely be back.

Just tried the bar for drinks only and good atmosphere. Did not stay at the hotel.

Friendly, great selection of real ales and ciders. Well priced. Lovely outside garden area. Ask for a Fidget pork pie if peckish, delicious. The evening menu was a bit sameold sameold but the burger menu was fabulous. Burgers were delicious. The loaded fries were drowned in scrumptious toppings. Try the corn ribs, they are unusual but very tasty.

Enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch with friends. Nothing to fault the food or service from friendly staff.

My first time at this location, I was there to meet a group of people who regularly meet there from Telford Auto club. We were there to collect their donation to a charity. The interior has been tastefully renovated and is actually very nice. Couldn’t comment on the accommodation,but the bar and eating areas wee very nice

Afternoon tea was fabulous 👌 Great service, very friendly staff Loads of food Will definitely be back

Great food and beer... Friendly staff too... 100 % go back again

Lovely pub to sit in, but have had a couple of off pints. Having said that; they’re very good about it and change it with no arguments. Will still go again.

Great pub, food is incredible and the service is always excellent! Recommend the rib eye, fish and chips or the Sunday lunch!

Food was excellent really tasty and the service was top notch. Really enjoyed it

Excellent food, really tasty and good atmosphere! Nice selection of ales!

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Only disappointment was that they didn't have a bottle of champagne for our celebration.

Very impressed with what they've done with the place Very pleasant atmosphere Great drive Good food I'll be back as they say

Great Sunday lunch, if u go make sure to Have the trio of meats the pork belly was amazing didn't have room for a pudding service very friendly

Great Sunday lunch, probably the best in Telford! Pork is amazing, great portions, killer gravy! always a friendly welcome

Excellent food and service with exceptional staff and great atmosphere. They even put on a live dramatic performance of the Blue Light in the car park! Simply outstanding

Great meal this evening. 5 of us and we all agreed that our food was very good and great value for money.

Great food and service. Was my birthday and the staff even gave me a little treat too! So helpful and friendly. Thank you!

Nice to have a Joules in town. Great beer selection, as you would expect from a Joules, lovely food and welcoming and friendly staff. Nice combination of old coaching inn and newly built dining area. They offer themed dining night’s & entertainment. I hear the Sunday roast is good as well. Looking forward to a return visit.

Lovely valentines meal at the Cock Hotel, great quality food and the service was excellent. Thank you for making us feel welcomed

Lovely meal with family. Great atmosphere and lovely restaurant. Very friendly staff and great food. Would definitely return again.

We enjoyed our evening at the cock hotel tonight, the food was amazing the hospitality was amazing. Everything about it was amazing, they decorated our table for valentines with petals, candles and flowers. it was a great evening and will definitely will be coming back. Would throughly recommend anybody wanting to come here for a meal absolute 10/10

The staff are really attentive, friendly and welcoming. The roast is really good, I would have liked more gravy (I should have asked for extra) but that's personal preference. Every one in the party was really impressed. Definitely recommend trying.

Met with friends for Sunday Lunch but the experience was not pleasant. The table was booked for 2.40pm but weren't seated until 3pm.We asked for a progress report on our food at 3.40pm & were told that our order hadn't gone through to the kitchen due to a computer glitch. Our food arrived at 4pm. All yorkshire puddings were cremated & tasted very bitter as a result. Beef was dry & tough & some of the vegetables were lukewarm at best. However,the side order of cauliflower cheese was piping hot & very nice. Given the poor service the long wait & the poor food we decided to speak with Louise the manager. We were not impressed with her response. She didn't accept the yorkshire puddings were overcooked & apparently we have to mention when the veg is lukewarm to the waiting staff so that they can take our meals away to be microwaved even though we waited an hour for our food to arrive..She was not in the slightest bit apologetic for our experience only defensive saying that we were the only ones that complained. This was not the customer service we would expect from a Joules manager . We were not charged for the inedible beef dinner & had one of the 2 cauliflower cheese sides refunded. Previous meals have been fine but this was a shocker!!! If front of house managers can't accept constructive criticism from customers they should not be in that role..

Copy and pasted my Rate Beer review: 'I visited recently (Dec 2008) and it seemed a little run down since my last visit a year earlier. I believe it's in the middle of a takeover / revamp so only fair i review again later in the year. As a Belgian beer fan, i was disappointed to learn the Belgian beer area has been removed. Still, lots of great local ales and pork pies. EDIT: It's been taken over by Joules Brewery now. Looks fantastic since the refurb and extension. Decent selection of Joules beer on tap. Just feels a bit chain restauranty, doesn't quit have that character the old place had.'

The best Sunday lunch we have had for a good while. Generous servings of meat with all the trimmings including a great selection of freshly cooked veg. The belly pork was particularly delicious. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was great to meet the chef. An all round great experience which we will happily recommend.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and you can’t beat the service. We had a delicious lunch (oh and the starter was to die for!) Definitely recommended, will be back 😊

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday dinner here. Service was fantastic, great selection of beer on tap. Will definitely be eating here again very soon 😋👌🏻

We are regular visitors to the Cock Hotel, and we are never disappointed. The staff are lovely and always take the time to chat to you, and nothing it too much trouble, Simon is always so friendly and makes you feel like a friend rather than a customer, our go to place most weeks

Well. The table was booked for 10 of us for 1230hrs . We arrived around 1200hrs . Placed our order and we were told that any orders for the Steak pie would have a 30 minute waiting time as they are all cooked fresh. So 3 of us changed our minds and ordered something else. We were then kept waiting 50 minutes so we could have had Pie's??? Food finally arrived. The Fish and chips were very greasy although they tasted OK. Then my medium £23 Rib-eye steak arrived 10 minutes after everyone else. Please see photos. It was burnt on one side even though it was served cold and soaked in grease & wafer thin. I sent it back and told them not to replace it. As I had waited an hour for sub standard food. The waitress returned it to the table and said it had been removed from the bill and was only going to be put in the bin so I could have it anyway. ( Best place for it ) Garlic bread was also over cooked and as hard as nails. In my opinion it is overpriced poor food. My Father's 90th Birthday Lunch ruined.The two. Young ladies that served us. Where very polite and helpful shame the food was not as well prepared as the staff..No sign of the Management.

Nice pub with a loverly spacious dining area , atmospheric bar and spectacular barn themed out side drinking area. With a good selection of beers, ciders, ales, wines and sprits topped of with quality food it makes for a good night or even lunch. Ample parking on site if your traveling in.

Excellent service and the food was top draw! A cracking traditional pub with excellent beers. We attended the ABBA tribute with work just before christmas and the whole night was brilliant!

We went for Sunday lunch and had roast beef. It was beautiful. The quality was really good. The desserts were absolutely lovely and not too big as they sometimes are. The staff are really friendly.

Excellent all round! Service, staff, venue, location and the food was delicious.

Being honest, co-owner Simon has been a friend for over 25 years. His business partner Louise I have known for less, but she is also a friend. We are not able to see each other often because I live in Marbella, Spain, but I visited...

Lovely pub with equally lovely outdoor area. Dogs allowed, which is great and great beer/ale

Met up with ex colleagues, 10 of us! Had a great lunch....great service!

I attended the wake after my cousin's funeral. The staff were friendly, and the hotel is an interesting old building with a lot of history, but is a comfortable venue for modern needs. The food was excellent. I was very impressed.

First time attending this restaurant after it had been freshly refurbished, meal was booked at 3 was sat down without any waiting. Drinks order was taken very quickly but must of miss heard what I wanted as I said pint but was only given half glass. Food selection was very good and very impressed to be honest was very delicious and came out nice and hot ! Wasn’t given much gravy each time we asked for more between 4 of us adults ended up asking for it 4 times. After finishing food 1 of us ordered sticky toffee pudding for dessert to which took well over 25-30 minutes to come out but the staff came to our table twice asking us to pay the bill ? Was pretty rude & to add to it the staff were all sat down on this one table so we had to get up and ask what was happening with it so we can pay and leave. Overall very good and well presented restaurant but just a bit of disappointment in the service we received

We are lucky in that we eat out quite frequently so I feel reasonably well placed to comment here, it was the first time we had been to the Cock Hotel. There were 4 of us and we had the Sunday menu, it was absolutely...

Had a nice evening here food was good music good friendly staff nice and comfortable bar

Decided we'd visit after the refurbishment, and wow, we were taken back by the extensive work done. I ate here tonight with friends, the atmosphere was buzzing, live music starts at 9, really really busy, food is absolutely spot on and staff are really welcoming and friendly. Will definitely return. Oh, p.s. even better, it's dog friendly 😊

Attended a wake and the staff were fantastic. Food was delicious.

We've eaten here before so I knew that a starter would be enough for me. Smoked haddock Scotch egg was lovely: a soft yolk with a smoked haddock covering. My hus band went back to his youth and really enjoyed faggots followed by treacle tart. Lots of other things on the menu that we want to try so we'll be back!

Relaxing comfortable space, good lunch A bit expensive.

Amazing building and fantastic food as well as a good pint !!

I dropped in here on a Friday evening at about 7:45 on the off-chance they had a table. I was in luck, as one was found, although I was warned that I probably wouldn't be served for about 20 mins. No real problem there. The place was quite buzzing. It has a pub front. A good sized restaurant area to the rear, all traditionally 'modern' decor. The menu looked good, packed with traditional British pub fayre but all with a slight twist. I ordered the haddock Scotch egg, followed by the calves liver. After a short wait the Scotch egg arrived. Warm, with a slightly runny yolk, done to a turn, with curry mayo on the side. Nice haddock flavour came through. Then the liver arrived. The waitress had asked if I'd want it pink. No brainer - if it's liver, why cook all the flavour out of it? Beautiful and pink it was too, accompanied by a tasty rich red onion jus. I'd opted for chips over the creamed potato, as mash was my least favourite form of spud. Lovely skin on hand cut chips arrived with it. In all, a wonderful meal! I shall return next time I come to Telford. Highly recommended!

Had an incredible 3 meat Sunday Roast, all melted in the mouth! Thanks Simon for being a genuinely nice person too.
