Cock Inn in Rochford

Didn't have half their menu, including all types of Sunday roast??

Excellent staff very welcoming and tentative. Liz manager is fantastic. Lovely food always tasty, hot and served well. Feel very comfortable in the pub and staff make you feel like part of a family. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Excellent. Clean and they with friendly bar staff.

Had a very nicely cook meal excellent service. Very good value on a Monday.

Good old fashioned pub with a lovely family friendly vibe. Staff were very helpful and attentive and the roast we had was huge and of a high standard. Definitely recommend.

This pub has been one of our favorites, especially because of its children’s play area. I had previously given it a 5-star rating, but after today’s experience, I decided to update my review. Since the weather was warm, we invited our friends for lunch and went as three families. However, they hadn’t opened the garden for use yet. The tables were stacked up on the side, but unfortunately, we were not allowed to sit there. I understand that this was probably due to a lack of staff, but it would have been helpful if this had been mentioned on Google Maps. We came all the way for nothing and ended up just having a drink in the garden before leaving. I hope that after this review, the opening dates for the garden will be clearly stated.

Lovely friendly staff with great food. Good value for money.

Would give a 5 star review, but we booked and we was waiting to be seated and eventually had to grab someone to sit us down. Apart from that food was spot on and a great place for dogs!

First time in there had one pint of Green king IPA, good value, nice beer, good atmosphere and the restaurant bit looked lovely. Definitely going to go back.

Excellent food 😋. Really friendly staff . Good value for money . Friendly banter .

Excellent customer service. Delious food everytime. Great value for money

Went to celebrate my Dad's birthday with a large table of 18. Requested a downstairs table and adjusted the table size a couple of time and all requests were accommodated for. Staff were really friends and helpful, the food was very good quality and very reasonable priced. We took a cake along and staff bought it out with candles, provided plates, cake slice and cutlery for free and made our experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend this pub.

Great place to go. Always busy, staff are great and good food.

Had a buffet upstairs for a wake yesterday. Just a comment how rude and miserable the staff were in general. Thumbs up won't be returning.

Hired function room for reception after family funeral. Amazing attentive staff, very freindly and helpfull. buffet food was amazing, high quality ingredients, very fresh and generous size portions Highly recommended. Thank you

Best customer service I have seen for such a long time. The people really want you to have a great experience. It isn’t a Michelin starred restaurant - it’s a pub that does food. If you take it for what it is, there are few, if any, who do it better. Oh, and they are incredibly welcoming of dogs. You can even buy a dog roast for your canine friend(s). And they have one of the best pub gardens in this part of Essex. The new owners (not that new) haven’t changes much in the way the pub looks, but they have changed everything about the way it works and feels.

Good food, great service, very polite and friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere, not been to this pub for many years, will definitely go back soon.

Great place to catch up with friends and a nice bite to eat

Nice pub, good pub grub, and tge range of drinks is also very good.

Took our dog Thursday 16th Jan. The staff were amazing, very friendly and made us (and our dog) feel very welcome. Thanks very much, will be returning 😊🐕Also the Gammon was lovely

We have been going to the Cock Inn for our Christmas gathering on Boxing Day for a few years now. Always have a lovely meal, huge portions and competitive prices. Great atmosphere too.

Pub was very welcoming on a particularly January cold night. Shown to our table and served by Suzanne who was very helpful. Food and drinks arrived in good time and was tasty and good value. Pub was getting very busy now but Suzanne helped us decide on our desserts and coffee.

Nice place and food Drinks are bit pricey.

Boxing day xmas dinner so much food, was stuffed, lovely crisp roasties and plenty of meat, we have been every boxing day for last for yrs and always a great meal 👍

Outstanding value, great Sunday roasts!

Brilliant afternoon spent with friends. Great service, lovely atmosphere, excellent food. Roast dinners were brilliant. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Visited The Cock Inn today 5 January 2025 - Sunday lunchtime menu - good range of dishes & very welcoming staff. Our party of 7 enjoyed a lovely meal. The roasts were plentiful & the crumble was particularly nice too. The coffee afterwards was lovely & hot, which is not always the case in other places. Will be visiting again & can recommend. Thank you 😊

Our 2nd year in going Christmas Day to The Cock Inn, in Rochford. Food was really lovely, staff & service outstanding and a really Christmasy atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Food was great, service was great also our server was friendly and helpful. Not many people in the restaurant so very quiet.

We had the best experience on Boxing Day. Our party was quite large and occupied the whole of the upstairs. We couldn't fault the service or the staff they were amazing. Thank you so much for a memorable day

Best place for a Christmas dinner awesome food brilliant staff couldn't ask for a better night

Excellent Festive meal - very good value for money :) Inc the rich chocolate fondant with soft gooey centre :) x and great service

My and my friends had a great time at the Christmas quiz. The food was so tasty and looked great specially the katsu. Liz was very accommodating and polite. Suz was very friendly at the bar. All in all a great experience was had and we thank you

Really impressed by the quality of the food and the prices. The food tasted really good. There was also a great selection of ales on tap. Highly recommend.

I had a lovely meal with my family and the service was excellent and the portions were very generous. Worth every penny.

Suzanne was very accommodating our party when some of the group were over an hour late, she was friendly, helpful and the food was fantastic

Had such a brilliant Christmas get together tonight. Suzanne was great, food was fab.

Had a wonderful Christmas lunch on the 29th November. Liz and sue did a wonderful job Keeping us all happy. Bravo! 👏. We go to the cock Inn so much and will continue to do so. Thanks so much. We all enjoyed our meal. Kind regards Linda Smith 🎄⛄

Delicious food, extremely pleasant and friendly hard working staff, had our Christmas meal there, Havens Hospice, lovely atmosphere Christmas tree is beautiful pub lovely and clean will definitely be back

Booked for Sunday roast 6.30 pm no turkey no beef no lamb shank very poor steak pie ok not good when you are serving until 9pm if you want a roast go before 3pm I think

What an amazing pub! The festive burger was delicious, I’d definitely recommend. Also the sticky toffee pudding was superb!!! Can’t wait to be back soon.

Came here with the family, the food is amazing and staff are so friendly and Kirk was very helpful and friendly.

Really lovely home friendly place. Good food but what makes it more special is the top friendly staff. Thanks to Janine for her singing and Santa and the manager. Definitely would recommend. 10/10...

Had the Christmas menu was superb . Not often i leave any food but was so much . Service was great . Also table was done up very nice . We did not fancy wearing the Christmas hats this early but the waitress got in to the Christmas spirit for us . All round 10 out of 10

Very slow service. A two course meal with an hour wait for 1st course isn't great. They seemed well staffed too. Food was nice but far too long sitting waiting to get served and then food arriving here and there for our table so not eating together. Not impressed on this visit.

Lovely atmosphere, very busy but quitened down later, waitresses very helpful

We visit quite often for the 'seniors' lunch, a drink and a good natter. Modest portions but not expensive, and very tasty.

Couldn’t tell you as was refused entry! Asked why, was told management just said no, asked if we could sit in bar area just for a few drinks and was again told no. Asked to sit outside and was also told no. No explanation as to why. Took our business down the road to Anne Boleyn who were very welcoming, good food and great prices. Ended up staying there whole afternoon into evening so The Cock Inn missed out on a huge amount of business. Should at least give reasons to potential customers rather than just rudely denying.

Felt very homey and good service !! Especially from our waiter Dan, me and my partner had a lovely experience. Dan is lovely !!

We had a great family gathering of 17 of us. The service was amazing, we felt so looked after. The food was delicious too. Everything from the atmosphere, staff and food was spot on. We certainly will be back. Thank you Everyone.

Meal was good value .drinks seem a bit expensive.staff pleasent

A good pub, with normal pub food. It has had some reasonable chefs recently. Wait for food was around an hour last visit due to its popularity. The service was however quite good and my dish was excellent with too much for me to eat. Update. My food this evening was the katsu chicken, I made a few changes, and was no issues whatsoever. The chicken was crip, the sauce very nice. And the garlic bread was brilliant. Beer options very good.

The staff were Excellent. Polite and knew what they were doing would certainly go back.lovley meal

Great food and friendly staff. Really good service, so much of an improvement from the past

It was busy so unfortunately we had to wait 1 hour to get the meal served, not so good if you only have a limited time to eat

Lovely dinner beef rib bouignon with buttery mash and brocoli and gravy. With white chocolate raspberry cheesecake and colis for dessert.

First time visiting. Staff welcoming lovely atmosphere Food delicious would highly recommend

Lovely service from jeanen&sue 1 will come againxx

We held a wake at The Cock Inn. Staff were very respectful, helpful and efficient from making the enquiry, booking and on the day. The food provided was excellent quality and so plengtiful, good home cooked size portions of each item. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you

Fantastic service from Janice and Jo food was lovely and can’t beat the price

Pleasant and friendly staff who are accommodating and welcoming. The food we had was good too. K

My 5yo had a minor heartbreak as she was busy chatting and forgot to save her last chicken nugget until the end….Emily was a super star and came to the rescue with another chicken nugget! Saved the day.

Great pub, great staff especially Emily! Food is great as well!

Had a great time with friends, was served by Emily and team, all so polite and friendly

Very disappointing lunch today. No bread was available therefore several dishes were off the menu. Didn't know this till we tried to order. My mum went thro the starter menu and EVENTUALLY something was available. My wrap was good apart from the pathetic rocket salad, could have included a tomato or cucumber. Can't believe something as simple as bread couldn't be sourced.

Nice food, friendly atmosphere and good service.

The food as always, was delicious. However, the staff weren’t very friendly & actually, came across as quite stand-offish. The woman behind the bar with red hair was blunt when I asked if there were any tables available for food (the restaurant and bar were empty at the time). When taking our order she wasn’t friendly and I felt rushed, despite there being no queue. Long wait between starters and mains and the waitress just kept laughing saying, it’s coming, it’s coming. I’d definitely return based on the food quality, but hope that the service improves.

Very good food lovely and great for kids

Lovely food very friendly staff...

Had a lovely steak meal food good steak cooked perfect will be going back for Sunday roast

Food was terrible, wasn't very edible at all.

Had am amazing time here the team are so friendly and helpful and welcoming to new guests and the beer garden was very spacious and clean definitely recommend this place to have a meal and a pint with friends or family

Went for quick bite, food was o.k., drink and service prompt. Prices were good, good variety of food choices.

We were there today Tues 13 aug and we have been a few times in the last month When we went in today a gentleman behind the bar said they were a little behind with food so there would be a wait I didn't think to ask how long just thought he meant 30mins we got there at 1.15pm and our food started coming out at 2.45pm so well over a hour for food I was watching and food was coming out probably every 25mins to 30 mins and though the food and service was good I do think they should address why it's taking so long to cook and bring food out this was a Tuesday I would hate to think how long you would wait at the weekend this isn't a bad review this is a suggestion that maybe it needs looking at turning custom away because people will have to wait over a hour for food is not a good idea in this day people will just go elsewhere

I only had soup as I had lunch waiting at home, I really only nipped in for a quick pint.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We was greeted by a lovely lady called Emily who was fantastic she is a credit to the company.

Great place to take the kids. Fantastic food with a small play area outside. Dog friendly, which is another added bonus.

Attended quiz night on Wednesday, great fun. Would definitely come back!

We was served by a young girl (Jess) she was very polite and sufficient and was dedicated to make sure everything was well

Very nice…. Quick convenient and reasonable

Bought 4 drinks, charged for 5, not sure was an error. Food slow to arrive and then one at a time so we coukdnt eat together, this happened with the puddings too. Only one vegan pudding but still got it wrong, giving me dairy ice cream. Not acceptable.

Nice pub, good food for the money. Will be visiting again soon. Great service.

Had a meal here many times. Cosy, warm and friendly. Good food in a clean and roomy environment. Plenty of free parking outside. Latest visit, still good service and food but the place is beginning to look a bit grubby now. Needs a make over

Top quality. Great evening again

Food & drinks were lovely. Two fabulous members of staff: Jess & Emily. Excellent value for money. We will definitely be back.

Great service from Emily, friendly and helpful throughout our visit.

Emily was attentive and friendly, really made us feel special for our evening meal & lovely wine!

Much improved and now worth a visit for a pleasant lunch.

We booked a table for three and a dog, for lunchtime, We were seated in a cosy corner and served extremely well. Our chocolate lab, was made very welcome and given treats, they even have a doggy menu. We each had different main meals along with drinks from the bar. Holly, our lab, enjoyed a sausage which was served cut up in a doggy bowl. The food is delicious and each of us enjoyed our individual choices. This delightful venue is certainly going to be a regular visiting place. The staff are super efficient and extremely friendly.

Food was nice, I had a fish and chips which was alright and my partner a katsu curry which was also alright. For the price you can’t complain, drinks came out a while after the food which is not ideal but was lovely to sit in the garden and enjoy some fresh air whilst having a lunch.

It was Jackie’s birthday and Emily was absolutely amazing 🤩

The food was fantastic, service really good , nothing to much trouble,

Excellent food and service, professional and friendly staff. Only negative aspect is pub is looking a bit tired.

Great pub, dog friendly. Staff are so nice and made a big fuss of my pup and were so welcoming to us all. Food was realy good

Food was great and the staff were fantastic. So friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Only popped in for a quick pint, but I will be going back for a meal as this looks very nice and the staff were friendly

Visited today. Ordered a pint of lemonade. Got a pint of fizzy water, no lemon flavour at all. Sat outside, and within 5 minutes was surrounded by smokers and dogs. Not a pleasant experience and I don't think I'll be back.

We are not frequent visitors, but whenever we go Sue is so friendly and knowledgeable about the food on offer and the drink that she makes us feel like valued regulars. The customer service is wonderful.

Really pleased with the service as always. Will definitely return

The food was the worst I ever had in england
