Cock Inn in Barnet

We use this place a lot and the quality of food and service is always great

We didn’t eat but it was full of children and smokers so we we were put off staying there - just had a drink - staff were nice

Lovely Sunday lunch. Served by Keanu he was excellent even though they were short staffed and under pressure.

excellent service from beca, roasts were filling and everything we wanted.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and very helpful staff in particular Leighanne & Richard. Will definitely return.

This is a lovely spot for enjoying drinks and food! The apple tart was definitely my favorite. Plus, the staff was incredibly friendly.

Excellent service from Beca, Rich and the team at the Cock Inn. Food and ambience were fantastic too.

Camilla was amazing. Highly recommend this pub

Have been coming to this pub for years but was extremely disappointed tonight. To start with, our glass table was disgustingly dirty, and full of smears. The service was incredibly slow with only one waitress serving the whole of the restaurant part of the pub, who seemed incredibly miserable with all interaction we had with her. Our drinks took forever and eventually a bottle of red was chucked on our table, with the waitor running off before evening opening. The food arrived and was substandard. The beef burger which we have had many a times, was very disappointing. The cheese was minimal ( previously famous for its huge amount of melted cheese) and the pork and scallops dish was dry, small and flavourless. Incredible shame and will not be returning ore recommending again.

It is a great spot for a relaxed pub experience and sunny day drink in the garden.The food was decent, offering a good selection of classic pub dishes, beer, sider and other alcoholic beverages.The staff were friendly and welcoming. The interior had a cozy feel, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal or a drink. While there’s room for slight improvement, it’s definitely a solid choice for a casual outing.

Great food, excellent service and a good evening all round!!!

Keanu and Tom were very polite and happy to help. Damien was our chef. Food was lovely and served quickly. The cock inn is a dog friendly pub and it was lovely to see the dogs with their owners. A lovely place to have lunch. Good service, good food and nice atmosphere.

Keanu was just a delight; his knowledge was exceptional! From the wine list and food. He was considerate to all our needs/questions. As well as just being so friendly, open and engaging. He made our experience so wonderful. The food was super tasty and delicious! X6 of us had Fresh roasts and were loved them. I recommend more health food dish options though. I was disappointed to see only 1 salad option and I ended up making up my own dish with sides.

Sunday Roast terrible. Beef inedible, potatoes not cooked. Table dirty. Had to ask to be cleaned. Had to ask for cutlery each time different course. Complained about ladies toilets on arrival but still in disgusting state when leaving. Never go back as very bad.

A massive thanks to the team for making our birthday celebration fabulous - everyone had a great time and the buffet was fabulous!

Had such a great Friday night! Great food! Amazing service from Millie!

Millie was a fantastic server! Really knew the menu and helped me and my friend order vegan food! Thank you Millie!

We had a lovely meal at the cock inn. Millie was very helpful and attentive

5* All around, service was perfect, Richard was superb. Definitely a hospitality asset will be returning.

Had a lovely Sunday roast after a brisk walk in Trent park with my friends. The beef roast was excellent! Millie was superb and attentive to our gravy demands. Thank you Millie!

Millie was absolutely superb! Great great service. First visit and amazing. Food was insane! Would come back and recommend! Great pub all round.

Very disappointed, came a few times before and it was always nice. But now it is a different story, they deteriorated fast. Awful service

It was an amazing experience at this place, and the customer service team was exceptional, especially two gentlemen, Tom and Richard.

We came for Sunday lunch. Food was really good and you get a good amount of food. I found the staff could cope as it was busy and not enough staff on that day. Otherwise will deffo be going back again.

Preciosa comida con generosa porción de almuerzo. Absolutamente encantador servicio sincero de Millie que dijo lo siento, ya que estaba muy ocupado y con poco personal. La mayoría del personal sonriente y servicial que pudimos ver. Lamentablemente teníamos una mesa de ubicación muy fría 29 y la gente y el personal cepillado por esa posición se sintió en un poco de un pasillo y muy pasado por alto desde todos los lados, mucho mejor si una cabina disponible, pero solo éramos 2. Lamentablemente muy ruidoso como tan ocupado, pero no cualquier falta del personal. Como comida tan buena quiero mencionar al personal chef de Dana, Alin y Adrien.

Millie was very helpful and professional Food was delish Thanks to chefs- Dana and Alin

Excellent meal with great service, served by Beca

Really good food, lovely friendly staff, all in all a great evening & we will be returning.

Lovely pub. Good selection of food and drink and looking forward to going to the pub in the summer

Gran personal del bar, muy servicial y nada es demasiado problema para Richard y Keonu. Es genial ver a Tom de vuelta de sus viajes también.

Millie and Amy and Beca were great hosts and very attentive to our table. Would recommend for a nice family meal

Millie was a great server and very attentive. Food was great!

Always a pleasurable experience to eat here. Fantastic food and amazing service! Thank you Lily!

We had a wonderful time at The Cock Inn! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. Our server, Millie, was friendly and attentive, and the food prepared by Dana and the kitchen team was top-notch. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this place for a great dining experience.

Gran almuerzo del domingo de hoy - (saludos a los chefs Dana y Damien) con un gran servicio de Millie y Amy. Encantador almuerzo.

I just had a wonderful meal. Great pizza. Great service

Lovely meal, food was beautiful! Will visit again. Thank you

Lovely food and great service. Would highly recommend this pub!

Excellent service and food. I would highly recommend the Cock Inn. Millie and Keanu provided great customer service.

We have had a fantastic meal at The Cock Beca our server was because great and the service was fantastic the food cooked by Dana was lovely and atmosphere great.

Amazing service, lovely staff happy to coming here and I will coming back soon !

Always love it here. The food is AMAZING… staff are friendly and all at a reasonable price. Also one of the best places to sit and enjoy a pint in summer. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Pub! Keanu served us and was exceptional! Lovely Service

Beautiful Lunch. Served by Keanu and he was excellent. Great service from him and a fabulous addition to the team.

Service was excellent, Millie and Tom were lovely as always. Look forward to coming back

Vegan option banana blossom stew nice but very small portion and poor value compared with, say, roasts. It's just a few spoonfuls of veg and no rice or other grain, yet costs only a pound or two less than a big plateful of roast chicken, potatoes, parsnips, carrots, an enormous Yorkshire pudding etc.

Food is great, Millie served us and was very friendly. I think an extra member of staff may have been needed at times.

Beyond awful. Deserving of less than 1 star

I had Sunday roast today, it was very nice. Very friendly service by Millie and Amy

Went on a Monday , not much going on

Lovely atmosphere, friendly service, amazing food. We had Sunday lunch, only slight niggle was we didn't realise the Sunday lunch came with all the trimmings and we order additional sides which we didn't really need. That said we cleared the lot, the food was hot flavourful and plenty of it. We paid £124 for 3 Sunday roasts, 3 desserts and coffees and 3 drinks. Great value for money. Millie our server was lovely.

Birthday meal for my husband Millie our waitress was really polite and very helpful

Excellent food drinks and service. A great night out

This was an amazing dining experience with my wife. Really nice food. Very high standard. Lovely atmosphere and superb service from excellent staff. Thoroughly recommended

Lovely pub. Millie was great. Would recommend

I booked a table for 4, last weekend only to be given a table in the bar area, not the restaurant! Awful service, food below average ,when we asked for the desert menu, we were told the kitchen closed at 10 pm, no prior notice. This was a really awful and frankly (bearing in mind I had guests) embarrassing experience. Really dissatisfied, very, very poor.

Ideal place to do some work late on in the evening. Service was friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic service by Beri I believe our server was called. Polite, friendly and bubbly young lady who couldn’t have worked harder for us and many other tables on a busy night. Wonderful food and not a table free so very telling for a great place to eat! Thank you!

Lovely impromptu lunch at The Cock. Staff very welcoming and the food was delicious

Sunday lunch should have been a healthy 4 but shortcomings and lack of management evident. Wife's 70th so it would have been nice if it had lived up to expectations but overall definitely disappointed. Good food served on cold plates not acceptable. One of the servers was really good and pleasant but the rest of the service was lacklustre at best. When I went to pay the £228.00 the guy taking the money could hardly be bothered, no pleasantries at all. Can't recommend it.

Loved my Cumberland Sausage and Mash. Portion just right! Loved it loved it loved it.

We were a large party of 25 (including 10 kids). The staff were attentive, got the order exactly right, and the food was excellent. Everyone commented on how well/easy it went thanks

Overall a great experience. I love the atmosphere. However the brownie in my trio of desserts was so hard I could not cut it, seems it had been sitting around too long. Also my friends apple tart required a knife and she was only given a spoon

Enjoyable meal and great service from Millie!

I am here on thr 31 st do cold in ghe restaurant i was planning to stay till 12 midnight must move. Why dont to chsrge £2 pound per customer for the rvening fot heating. Sorry you will do the same next year.

A Christmas Dinner to Remember I’ve just had the most incredible Christmas dinner at The Cock Pub, and I can’t stop raving about it. To be honest, I’m not even a fan of turkey, but they completely changed my mind. The turkey was beautifully cooked—juicy, full of flavour, and served with the most delicious gravy I’ve ever tasted. The entire meal was an absolute triumph: perfectly crispy roast potatoes, and Brussels sprouts done just right (yes, really!). The stuffing was packed with flavour, and the pigs in blankets were so moreish I had to stop myself from polishing off the lot. The atmosphere was the cherry on top—warm, festive, and inviting, with friendly staff who went above and beyond to make the evening special. It felt like Christmas at home, but with food so good it could rival any fine dining experience. If you’re after a Christmas dinner that’s truly next level, The Cock Pub is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back next year—and who knows, I might even start looking forward to turkey because of them! Well done Team Cock. 5/5 stars!

The food was delicious!! The staff are friendly & helpful & provide excellent service, even when really busy. I also like the ambience, the decor & the fact that there is a good amount of space between tables. Nice to be able to choose a seating area, too.

Lovely atmosphere, good food, good service. Would recommend

Amazing festive food. We visited for Christmas and the 3 course meal was fabulous. Filling, tasty dishes and the vegan wellington was the star dish. Great for vegan restaurant. Excellent service by Millie and the team.

Good Xmas meal with good size portions and presentation. However, the lamb was a touch undercooked. Booked a table for 5 and there were 2 small tables put together of different heights and one chair stuck at the end. We were sat by a very busy walkway to kitchens etc whereby the chair stuck at the end, where my husband was sitting was constantly a walkway for staff carrying plates backwards and forwards making our Xmas lunch experience really uncomfortable. The chairs were soiled, lots of stains on them. When the food arrived, they just kind of placed the initial stater- Artisan bread, wherever they could see an empty table area. Getting attention from the team, was a bit of a struggle. We had to clear the table by moving the menus and clearing the Xmas crackers and mi I tree in order to make room for the stater dishes. I appreciate that it was a busy day but the staff were not friendly, no smile on their faces, no going out of their way to make customers feel welcomed on Xmas day. We were asked if the food was okay right towards the end of our meals. To that effect, we agreed to pay 5% and not 10% of service charge due to the experience. My apologies but I really wanted my Xmas meal experience to be good but sadly, that was not the case.

The food was excellent and they took good care of us as vegetarians. Service was a bit slow but it was the festive time and they were slammed. Millie was lovely and was great with us. Thank you Cock Inn for a great time.

Food decent but terrible service. Had to keep asking to order. Plates not cleared before next course delivered. Drinks took forever to arrive. Heating not on despite being cold inside and out. Just a shrug of the shoulders when asked for radiators to be put on. Tables around littered with empty glasses and plates with no effort to clear away. Cask beer ran out and no new barrel put on. Last orders at 9.50pm! Would not return

Yesterday me and my family came for a meal. Food was nice but manager on shift yesterday evening was very antisocial and stood with his earphones in all night. A few times he walked past and I tried to get his attention to order and was completely ignored. Thankfully the service from everyone else was great. Was disappointed the coffe machine was turned off before 10pm on a Friday night. We’ve been in before and have been able to have hot drinks later than that to go with our desserts. I do love coming to this pub as the atmosphere is homely and we will be returning

Milly S was fabulous! Friendly, attentive and informative as one of us was pregnant. Thank you for the extra detail!

Millie S was our waitress and she was really lovely. The service was very quick and she done her best at catering for Us.

Tasty meal made by Alin, and lovely service from Millie S, Georgina and Beca. Would definitely come again!

Bad experience, keep away if you are over 60 + they don't welcome to older generation. Very poor. 👎

No customer service very rude manager I overheard her telling a group of elderly men they had to move to another table as only allowed 2 hours they looked like they were have a reunion as they were in their late 60s put me right off this pub 😔

Our server Millie , was Amazing!! Food was superb. Postive vibes all round.

My husband and his six friends whom are mature men, they have a reunion every year and choose to meet at the Cock Inn, unfortunately this meeting was very unpleasant as the staff were very rude, they had a meal and had several rounds of drink, one staff member approached them and told them that they had to leave as the table was reserved for another party, when asked when was the table booked she said 10 minutes ago, although they were unhappy to move they moved to another table, after 40mins the original table was still empty, they went to get another round of drinks and was refused to be served. My husband and his friend are respectable and were neither rowdy or drunk. My husbands night with his friends was dampened after spending £300+ by the staffs aggressive treatment towards them. Sadly after 30 years the Cock Inn and their rude staff will be losing our custom.

The staff here were so rude it was unbelievable! Do not recommend! My dad had a reunion with a small group of his old school friends. They met up here for food and drinks which was great until an extremely rude member of staff came over, started wiping the table and said they had to leave the table before they’d even finished! No reservation sign was on the table and no one had mentioned a time limit. When they’d informed the waitress they hadn’t finished, she replied with “if you don’t leave the table, I’ll get someone to move you” - how aggressive! She then continued to say that if they didn’t cut their afternoon short, they wouldn’t be served anymore. How disgusting! A small group of friends aged 60+ can’t even enjoy a rare afternoon out together at this place without being met with aggression for no reason! Terrible experience.

We had a really lovely lunch. Food was lovely, environment clean and welcoming and the friendliest and most efficient of servers. Front and back of house both excellent, well done and thank you.

Good food but a very slow and inattentive service; unfortunately they have no interest in customers.

I visited the restaurant on a Thursday night with a friend and we enjoyed the festive menu. The food was impeccable perfectly served and tasted amazing best dinner so far ! I can’t think of one thing to fault it. Also the service was amazing Maisie was friendly polite and couldn’t do more for us but Richard in particular stood out! He went above and beyond for us and always does!

Festive menu was delicious and a very generous portion. We had the 3 course menu which was reasonably priced. Great service

I meet a friend here for a catch up and lunch. Have known this place since I worked in cockfosters 50 years ago! The staff are always very pleasant and efficient. We love the food and the service - we are never hurried and we tell others about the place. Would definitely have got 5 stars but some of the chairs (cream ones) are very grubby and the toilet door can't be shut properly! Would benefit from a little bit of tlc but won't stop us from returning

Food was amazing service was brilliant our server Maisie was brilliant and the chef Dana cooked the food to perfection.

Excellent service - Millie was brilliant

We had a fabulous Christmas (long lunch) with our gang of friends at The Cock Inn yesterday. Our server was Leah who was charming, friendly and helpful throughout. Although we’ve eaten there many times before we all agreed the Christmas menu was really excellent. Super tasty and beautifully presented Chef Alin did a brilliant job.

I was running late for my group booking Christmas meal but when I arrived I was welcomed by staff and my meal was prepared to perfection. The venue was nice and clean and the environment nice and cosy 🙂.

A fantastic veggie wellington made by Dana, Damian, Alin, and Adrian 😊

Excellent food, service, really lovely lunch

Lovely food and great service from Millie S.

We normally go for drinks there. It's difficult to find a pub which is welcoming and nice to locals nowadays but in Cockinn Staff are very friendly and proactive, we always enjoy being there.

Food good, Wine prices on menu different from what we were charged. Told that was the old menu. In that case it should not be on table. Booked at 1430 and was under the impression we had the table for 2 hours although after 90 minutes we where asked to move if we had finished eating. Understand there was a problem with the booking system but still not great. Staff were good and did there best during a very busy service.

A pleasant pub/restaurant with smart but sterile decor. The only cask ale was London Pride, but they did have keg craft ale. The menu had a good selection - the mushroom risotto and belly pork were good, but the banana blossom stew disappointing. Service was friendly, but inefficient. Despite the pub not being busy, we waited over 10 mins for our first drink, and had to chase up 3 times. We were therefore surprised to see a 10% service charge on the bill, particularly as we ordered our food and drinks at the bar. This was removed without dispute, but be warned to check for this if you visit. Overall, a pleasant enough place but not very good value, (but then again my friend says I'm tight).

Beca was really helpful and efficient . We has a lovely relaxing meal. Thanks

Thank you to the chefs Alin, Damien, Dana. We liked the potatoes, veg, and pork particularly. It was good to have the option of extra gravy so it can be poured to taste. If I was being picky it was on the more expensive side of roasts I've had recently but I would come again!

Millie s and Maria were great servers

Food has improved but service and decor etc still terrible. Great pity as I would go more often if the place was decorated- inside and outside- and the service staff were trained and supervised. Compared to The Orange Tree, which is in the same group, it’s chalk and cheese!
