Cock Inn in South Northamptonshire

First of all when we walked in wasn’t treated well by a blonde woman who made the impression that us being there was a chore, the food was brought out either well done or under cooked no in between !!! My 80 year old mum felt u comfortable and wanted to leave! Was not impressed 🤬

Chose to meet a relative from the Midlands at this pub with me coming up from Essex. Checked the website which showed that they were doing Food on a Tuesday and rang up a couple of times on the preceding Saturday to make sure but nobody answered the phone. Made the trip naïvely thinking that the website and views on TripAdvisor would indicate a reliable pub. How wrong I was! I was told that there is no food on a Tuesday, it is a very recent move and they have not had time to set up the website but at 12 o’clock on a Saturday they are apparently so busy they do not have time to answer the phone. Yeah, sure… ended up having to eat at a local poxy garden centre

Have relatives in village. Came in here early evening. Maybe a dozen other customers. Friendly welcome. Not too hot or stuffy despite high temperatures outside. Enjoyed a couple of good pints. Other customers drew us into their conversation.Affable bunch. Works well as a village pub and is evidently a social focus.

Service and food was fantastic …… second time we’ve eaten there and it deserves a review …… ideally you need to book in advanced as it gets very busy but the service isn’t affected but this ……. Sunday roast is brilliant and there’s plenty of it with a good range of veggies ……. Only downside is the menu for those who are veggie is very limited indeed …… great place to eat big well done

After reading a review I decided to take the family for lunch, I was not disappointed! Fantastic service combined with excellent food and very reasonable prices! I cannot recommend this little village pub enough.

Came here for a valentines meal, and I must say the food is amazing. Rare steak, cooked to perfection, and the best chips I have ever had! The rest of the dish was equally delightful, and the homemade cheesecake for pudding just topped it all off. Welcoming village pub, with a lovely atmosphere too. Highly recommend 👌

Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised the award winning chef from the Talbot had moved across to The Cock Inn. Lunch was excellent as expected.

Lovely food , great portion sizes , all home made and tastes amazing! Also great customer service! Will definitely be going there more often…

Even my children ask to visit this pub, that says it all really, always a welcome smile and a family feel to the place which my entire family feel safe in. Highly recommended for all. Can’t wait to be able to return 🍻❤️

After a busy day Christmas shopping it was great to come and unwind in this great little pub. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and the best Sunday roast ever with real homemade gravy. The ales are well served and at the perfect temperature.

Thursday evening is pie & pint time. Beef and ale pie with peas and fries plus a beer of your choice for a very reasonable price. Delicious food and beer well kept. Highly recommended for good food, good pub atmosphere and great beers.

This is a lovely village pub where the staff make you feel particularly welcome. They’ve sorted out the garden so it’s now a large spacious area, great to sit outside in on a sunny day. Inside there’s also lots of space, with different areas and a dedicated room for dining. The food menu isn’t the most extensive and there didn’t appear to be an offering of sandwiches on a Sunday, but all the food we did see looked to be presented well with sizeable portions. It’s got a traditional feel inside and isn’t the most modern of places but everywhere seemed clean at least. They’re putting a lot of care into the place so I’m sure things will improve further to make everything as good as the level of service the staff offer. It’s certainly worth a visit if you’re in the area.

My husband and I stumbled upon this little gem of a pub on Saturday evening. It was really quaint and charming inside. The staff were very welcoming and the locals really friendly. It had a separate dinning room, which was bright, clean and comfortable again full of charm with a stone fire place. The food was wonderful. My husband and I both had a stew which was delicious and served with really interesting and delightful accompaniments, all homemade. We finished our meal off with homemade cheesecake which was really yummy! There was a lady sat opposite us who had ordered a chicken pie, it looked homemade and she said it was really good. We had a lovely evening with wonderful food. I think the chief is very creative and extremely talented.

Well cooked, and good sized portions. Choice of roasts available. We did not have to wait long for food to arrive. Friendly atmosphere and attentive staff.

Great food and drink and lovely owners - thank you for making us feel so welcome. Prosecco, spiced rum and tequila are awesome!

Omg was exactly what we both said when our food came out!!! Not intending to eat-out, but chatting to friends in the pub, it got later, so we asked if we could have meal we could share, well WOW, we had fish goujons, chicken fillets, battered mushrooms, chorizo chips, little garlic cheese on toast, samosas, all homemade,with chips and dips too,and wow what a treat and a handsome plate of food, sorry no picture, as we were to busy looking at it, thanks for a lovely evening and amazing food, would totally recommend 5

The parting conversation as we were paying was "will you return?" to which the answer was "only if you improve the service"!! It's sort of unacceptable to wait one and a half hours for a main course meal especially when it's served up with a very small portion of chips! To be fair, we were offered a 25% discount but the evening was already spoilt. A shame considering that the food used to be great a few year's ago with a previous owner of the pub. Maybe it's time to return when the locals drift back in!!!

We used to use this delightful village pub on a very regular basis for many years, however sice the reopening with regret it has not changed for the better. The menu was very disappointing compared with that offered by the previous licencee. Although we resesved a table well in advance we had to wait nearly an hour and a half for the first starter, then a further 30 minutes for our main courses. The chips did not meet expectations as there was only a handful of them and they were cold. I will say in their defence, the the lamb balty was excellent, and we were giver a reasonable discount for our long wait. It is regrettable that this once very popular local village pub has lost its appeal, and with another more welcoming venue with a far better menue very close by, I very much doubt that we will eating at this pub again in the future. Very sad as most villagers had great expectations thor this once popular pub.

It's a local village pub which serves good food and has no pretensions to be otherwise. We went for Christmas lunch for 19 people - always a testing time for a small village pub. I was very pleased - Craig and his team were all helpful and made it all very easy. We had a separate room to ourselves. Comments from the group were instance "the hosts, the chef/cook and waiter all very affable and helpful in producing a very tasty meal. The room we were in created a cosy atmosphere. Well done to all concerned" It also has good accessibility for people in wheelchairs.I'll certainly go back there in the future.

The roast was the best roast I’ve had will put in ages, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, roaring fire, food was brilliant, and reasonably priced, very yummy will be back soon thanks

Visited for the first time. Had some lunch. I recommend the beef burger. It was great food and the owner were a fantastic couple. If you are in the area you need to visit

The Cock re-opened on 22nd August, thoroughly good opening night. The garden has been totally re-vamped and the pub itself has been decorated and has been toned down from what the previous owners had put in. The drink is reasonably priced and is served well. Looking forward to the kitchen opening soon, the food in their beforehand was fantastic proper 'pub grub' and I'm sure it will be as good this time too. The new owners have further projects they want to complete to bring this once vibrant village local back to its former glory. I will be visiting this local again very soon.

Popped in on the reopening day of this great little local. Described as a work in progress by the owners, it was a great evening. Great atmosphere and a great start to your new venture! Really looking forward to the food offering. 👍👍👍

Nice meal, but was surrounded by pensioners, playing cards, they were banging our table and chairs, they were not happy we were there. I was getting annoyed. As we went for a meal and a catch up. Never again.

The old regime had a winning formula good well cooked food at decent prices in a village pub always popular with locals serving really decent ale. The place was recommended to us and we went back time and time again. Alas due to sad circumstances the old landlord had to leave.

So we found you by chance on Saturday after we went to visit the Talbot and it was closed! But must say we were pleasantly surprised we were greeted by a lovely lady behind the bar, we sat in the sun in the beer garden we didn't eat but will definitely be returning to give it a try thank you for making our stressful day better :)

New landlady is lovely but now the old seating and decor has gone it looks like any other pub. Menu is really disappointing and the standard of food (chips were excellent) is overall nowhere near as good as before the pub was sold.

I was really pleased when the pub changed hands recently to see that the menu had been changed and now offered a good vegetarian choice but disappointed when I visited today (on a bank holiday) that the vegetarian lasagne was not available.

This pub is in the process of being updated and is under new ownership. The new landlady and landlord are really nice people who make you feel welcome.

Great meal in the newly refurbished pub. Good menu, excellent service and very friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Went with a group of people and ate in the restaurant area. Food was first class, very tasty and plenty to choose from. They will try to accommodate people's requirements. Staff very friendly, always smiling and very attentive. You can also eat in the bar area and catch all the locals chatting and having a good laugh. Lots of photos etc on the walls, great atmosphere. There are a few steps into the pub from the car park which may be difficult for some people, there is another entrance at the front of the pub too. Credit to the landlord and all his staff, they know their stuff........not forgetting the chef too............only one thing I would say is they could benefit from a larger car park.

Really good environment, great community, polite and courteous staff. A pleasant landlord and great food couldn't ask for much more.

Visited on a week day and had a great meal. Friendly staff and good real ale. Very nice and friendly customers.

Had a lovely meal today at lunch time, everything was perfect and always is whenever I have been there. The chef there know his or her stuff and many congratulations. The meal is perfectly cooked, arrived hot and nicely served cannot fault it and believe me I can be picky Thank you.

We chose this location to meet with some friends as it was roughly equal distance for us to travel. We had never been to this pub before. We all four had Sunday roast.........two beef, one lamb and one mixed roast meats. The roast potatoes were delicious and the variety of vegetables amazing - I think we had five. The Yorkshire puddings were fresh and home made. The puddings too were delicious. The food at this small pub is excellent - it deserves to be successful.

I regularly hold small business meetings here (networking and 121 meetings). Great customer service and lovely home cooked "real pub" food any day of the week.

2nd time eating here with friends during our recent trip back to the UK.

Have eaten in The Cock pub a few times now from the normal mid week menu and always rated the food.( The fillet steak is excellent. )

A great pub, good atmosphere and very friendly locals. Have eaten here a few times and always enjoyed the food. Would recommend booking a table especially on Friday nights.

This is true pub food it's what you want every thing reminds me of my mothers cooking nice friendly pub and defiantly a hit with the locals.

What a great little find. Wandering around one weekend we stumbled across this place looking for a late lunch. Friendly and helpful from the word go. Good pub grub which looked and tasted home made. Brilliant value. Thanks!

We went there in December twice for Christmas meals the atmosphere is great.

If you want honest to goodness good food this is the place, a proper pub with no pretentious ideas. Not a large menu but with food as good as this, you don't need id.

Nothing spectacular or olde worlde, just a well run friendly busy enough and reliable village pub, which also,does good average pub food and has a reasonable selection of well kept beers. Just what you need if you live round here or, as in our case, come in from time to time when visiting relatives.

Great food,friendly staff and owners. Sunday lunch is the best and love the sausage and mash with onion gravy

The Cock is a friendly village pub with a welcoming atmosphere. The unassuming decor belies the food, which is consistently fab. The home cooked dishes are excellent, really tasty & seasonal with generous portions. Vegetarians are well catered for & the menu is varied with a great Specials Board. We always try & leave room for the puddings which are a must. Looking forward to visiting again very soon.

Regular village pub. Still with a pool and darts room. 🍴🍷 Very friendly chatty bar staff and locals make you feel welcome. Had a good pub meal with family. On Monday quiz night we enjoyed an entertaining evening too. Cheers 🍻

The cock appears to have a good community spirit , a gentleman, sitting at the bar who is clearly a regular was very friendly giving tips for food and general conversation. I do feel that The bar decor is tired and could do with a freshen up . The main courses arrived in about 15 mins and were absolutely fine . Our disappointment came when the deserts came out . Ice cream was simply a couple of scoops from an iceland 99p tub and the cheese and biscuits also lacked anything in the way of imagination ..Address your sweets and you will have scored well with food

We took a party of seven for a meal on a Saturday evening.We did not sit in the dining room but they had reserved an area for us in the bar. We eat a variety of meals everything from a steak to a suet pudding. Everybody enjoyed their meals and everything arrived together and hot.Our waitress was very nice and the bill was a pleasant surprise .Around 100 pounds for all with most of us having dessert.

Make a reservation! If you are a lover of good English Sunday Roast cooking - this is the place for you. A very small restaurant in the local pub, the food is some of the tastiest you will eat. The Sunday lunch is simply amazing with a little of everything to suit. Leave some room, you really don't want to miss out on dessert!

Met up with colleagues for a sort of reunion lunch. Menu was in keeping of a country pub with one or two local items such as lamb hamburgers. We all enjoyed the good hearty meal that we chose. Service was good and our host informative and friendly. The ambiance had the natural warmth and charm of a typical English village inn. For those folks who are city bound, I can recommend a visit to this locale.

The first time I went here I was a little worried by the cafe type menu but that was soon forgotten by the decent food served. I judge a place by the vegetables. Can they cook them well and the answer is yes they can. Popular local place so book or get in early. Good selection with specials as well. Beer selection is good and the landlord can keep his beer to a high standard. Type of village pub you can go back to and never be disappointed by.

We have relatives in the village and visit often. It is well used amiable and a bit of fun. Came first about three years ago for a family wake and the pub did us proud. The regular food, which we have otherwise only had in the evening is well presented, good value and fairly quick. Better I think to eat out in the main bar rather than the room at the back.

Went in for breakfast first visit. We were left looking around wondering to go and what to do. Finally we were told we could eat in the restaurant or the bar. Looking round the restaurant every table was dirty with used crocks so we decided to go to the bar.

Lovely food, friendly and accomodating staff and nice beer, I will be a regular visitor, here in fact we're going back tomorrow for Christmas dinner with friends deep joy!

We paid a family visit here for a meal and I was very impressed by the standard of the food and the very good service. I would have no hesitation in recommending this pub to anyone who wanted to eat in a small village pub with good quality food on offer at reasonable prices. Top marks all round.

My first visit here. We booked in for 7:30 in the evening, at arrived at a very welcoming pub. Although able to eat in either the bar area or the restaraun annex, we opted for the restaruant area to make eating out more of an event.

This is a great pub, fantastic hosts, good food, decent beer garden (which is actually a garden). Dog friendly outside of meal times. Good menu for lunch and dinner and fantastic sunday lunches. Just don't tell anyone else about it will you or we won't be able to get in next time.

Lovely surprise! We have lived locally for a while and never been to this pub in pottersbury. Great pub inside, nice welcome from the owners. Menu choice v good and suited all our needs having my parents with us. We all ordered different food and everyone was homemade and very good quality and quantity. Lovely what a great place to go for lunch and will be visiting again. You made our Saturday

We met the owners Brian and Alison on a holiday from Gran Canaria and said if we ever visited Northamptonshire we would pop in for a drink.We stayed at nearby Whittlebury and visited them at The Cock .It is a warm friendly inviting pub and the staff are all so welcoming.It was lovely to chat with Brian and Alison and the evening was spot on.We shall definitely return to sample the lovely food we saw on the menu.If you want to sit in a friendly warm and chilled atmosphere then get to The Cock at Potterspury, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and look forward very much to our return.It was really lovely to see you Brian and Alison.Best wishes to you both......

The Cock is a lovely local pub with a superb restaurant. We went for dinner with friends and splashed out on starters, main course and pudding and left extremely full and satisfied. The liver and onions are cooked to perfection and other members of our party really enjoyed their food too. The portions were good sized and well presented. The service was very friendly and attentive.

Booked late for a Sunday lunch and was advised we would have to eat in bar rather than in restaurant. We were quite happy with this as my wife had been before it has a nice village pub atmosphere. When we arrived, we found out they required the area later for a party and were grateful Brian had accommodated us rather than just said they were full. Service was excellent and even though we were conscious of the time, we were not rushed and the food was good wholesome Sunday roast pub food and good value. Thanks to Brian and staff for accommodating us and we will return again.

I live in the village and feel very fortunate to have such a great local on my doorstep. We socialise there every week and also eat there regularly. The Sunday roast is the best I've ever had, proper home cooked roasties and excellent value. Whether you're after a meal, game of cards, darts or pool, good beer (the Doombar is wonderful!), or a friendly chat, you won't go wrong here. The garden and outside seating area is lovely too.

I am a regular visitor to the cock pub in Potterspury it is a lovely popular village pub with excellent food and the staff are so friendly

Very friendly pub, local regulars actually speak ! Lovely staff,Great Fillet Steak, definitely going back !

It is a small pup with a funny name but, the fillet steak is amazing. Haven't tried anything else on the menu nor do I intend too.

We have Been there twice in the last month for Sunday lunch, although we never booked they have always managed to squeeze us in and made us feel welcome.

Good atmosphere and the food was amazing. The staff are very friendly and it makes for a lovely evening out all round!

We went to The Cock for Sunday lunch for my birthday. It was delicious. All home cooked, lovely fresh vegetables and generous servings. The service was efficient, friendly but always professional. Great value too.

as a regular visitor from outside the village I can't praise Brian and Alison enough, the food is supurb and we are always made very welcome. Particulary reccomend the sunday roast
