Cock Tavern in City of London, Westminster

Terrible service, asked for Prosecco/Cava it was served warm and flat and not inexpensive when I complained barmaid gave me another out the same bottle it was warm and flat!!! Asked her for another from a new bottle then she had a tantrum slammed new stemmed glass on the bar so hard it smashed to pieces!!!!! Lovely girl such a credit to your bar!!!

Come da titolo. Da non confondere da un locale omonimo in un altra zona di Londra. Molto validi gli interni in legno. Accoglienza disinteressata. Menù classico da pub con beveraggi in abbondanza e lista menù ridotta ovvero con soliti classici come fish & cips (buono) burgher ed apetizer. Prezzi nella media. Non male.

I love this place. It has a really good relaxed atmosphere, nice staff, very welcoming. And a safe coat check. They play a fun mix of music, and once the dancefloor gets going, its a fun place to be.

Excellent. Traditional style pub. Had lunch there. Polite and friendly staff. Food excellent. Happy to recommend. We had scampi and chips. Generous size meal.

Just paid £22.80 for two double rum and cones - absolutely outrageous! The barman said he had earned £40 in tips yesterday. He must have wealthy clientele.

During the day it might feel a little lacking in atmosphere here, since there’s no music and the wooden decor doesn’t make for the cosiest of vibes, However there’s come comfortable seating and the staff are super friendly. As a day-time pit stop I’d happily return.

I went into this pub about 13.15 on a Thursday. It’s a Sam Smith’s pub so has all their usual beers. It wasn’t crowded but quite busy. Despite this there was only one server behind the bar. I had to wait over five minutes to be served while she served other customers. Two potential customers left while I was waiting. Twice while I was there she went upstairs to bring down food. I have no criticism of the server, she did her best but it’s poor management not to have enough staff on.

Our first shopping trip to Oxford Street in two years - got to lunch and did not fancy a "chain" bite, so walk into the streets around and found this pub. The pub is well presented, clean and light inside. The main ground floor bar was empty but we were told lunches were served upstairs. Upstairs bar also empty, but ordered two hot sandwiches - one scampi and one sausages. We had a drink while we waited for the lunch which came in a reasonable time. Both hot sandwiches were hot - very tasty and just what we fancied at the time. From our limited experience all was fine - the menu is limited, which was fine for us.

I tried to pop in to a very empty Cock Tavern at 1pm today (Saturday 9th April) to grab some food with my sister and children. We opened the door and pushed the buggy through. The bar man said “no buggies” and told us to leave. I responded that it wasn’t inclusive practice and indicated that the pub was empty. “No buggies” If the pub had been busy, I would have understood (although still disagreed with the practice of No buggies) but it was empty. Another customer popped his head out of the door once we had left and recommended a pub down the road! A shame as I’ve frequently visited Samuel Smith brewery pubs in years past but shan’t be visiting one anytime in the near future.

The bar staff was extremley rude. I asked for a diet pepsi, when she filled up my glass it was transparent, obviously the syrup had run out. I very politely let her know that it looked like the syrup had gone. Her response was extremley rude "it came out of the pump, that's the way it comes out!" ... " It's not syrup it's pepsi, look it says pepsi on the pump" ... Her tone was condescending and rude and she would not listen to me when I tried to explain to her that the syrup had gone and she was talking to me as though I was stupid for suggesting that there was even such a thing as syrup. She then insisted I tasted it, and she insisted it was the glass making the pepsi look like that (how does a glass make something look transparent ?!). I couldn't believe she made me taste it when it was obviously barely coloured tap water but I did just to humour her and yep it tasted like soda water. She still didn't understand what I was talking about and continued to patronise me as though I was been daft for suggesting that the coke had run out. She then finally admitted that she never worked in a pub before "I don't know anything about syrup that's just the way it comes out I've never worked on a pub before". I can sympathize with someone who has never worked in a pub before but then you need to be humble and listen to the customer not rude and arrogant. Needless to say I walked out and will never return again.

Lovely looking pub. Absolutely beautiful. That being said, the last two times I went there to get a meal the kitchen was closed. It’s not a crime but when you advertise that you have food to sell in the kitchen is open , it’s a little frustrating when you go in and they tell you “actually the kitchen is closed.” Then maybe DON’T ADVERTISE THAT YOU ARE SELLING FOOD OUTSIDE IF THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED!! Seriously annoying. go there for drinks as it’s a beautiful pub but don’t expect to be fed

Is there a problem. Was the answer when i asked for a slice of lemon for my drink. If i had said yes the answer still would have been no as they never had any . Cant belive a pub has no lemon .there is shoos around to buy. With the pubs being shut for so long .this isnt a good start So i wont be going back.ill find a pub with staff that isnt rude and has lemon.

There are not many places in London I could give five stars - but The Cock is surely an exception. Incredible staff, even better beer, and an unforgettable atmosphere. The perfect place to reconnect with your favorite people. And the first place I recommend to my friends.

Pub in een zijstraat van Oxford street. Beneden pub en boven zitplaatsen om te eten. Eten is traditioneel pub food. Bier, organische cider maar ook sapjes. Mooi interieur. Bijzonder is een telefoon ban. Niet bellen en bij voorkeur helemaal geen telefoon gebruiken.

Don’t be fooled by all of the plug points that you can see through the windows of the pub. Once you sit down with your drink you are told that hey are purely decorative and not for their customers use!

Typical Tavern with lively atmo. Choice of Beers and Ciders but no kitchen working on Friday Night. Disappointing...

Good place for drinks at reasonable prices. They have refurbished the pub and it looks nice... lots of cubicle type areas...

If you’ve been to a Sam Smith’s pub before you will know that one of their selling points is that if you’re drinking the bitter, the prices are matched with those in Yorkshire where the beer is produced. The architecture is fabulous and has been...

Ive been visiting the Cock Tavern for nearly 20 years , and have always enjoyed my visits when " in town", , but alas my last visit (23 April 2019), with family and friends that i had taken along to one of my favourite watering...

Was up in London for the day and made the mistake of stopping here for a drink. Ordered two G&TS which were poured in small straight glasses (no Gin glasses available apparently) with tonic from a bar gun that was absolutely flat. Charged £15. Took...

Cheap beer, but unpleasant in every possible way. Staff surly - almost hostile - and shortchanged me. Many other options in this area - all are better than this place.

As it is located off Oxford Street, it was not too busy around 1 pm. Prices were more competitive. The bar is on the ground floor and is a cosy place with traditional decor. I must add that both the bar and the restaurant upstairs...

My issues with this place are numerous. On a day like Pride when inclusivity & love are important aspects of the day, don’t let the staff be intolerant & even violent towards customers. I believe this pub to be named after the bar manager. Avoid...

Nice architectural gem, as usual. I see the cack-handed 'phone ban has upset folks - it's not just here, it's every Sam's pub. You have to remember who runs the empire.............somewhere along the line he's been upset by some nob shouting into his 'phone. The...

As a regular patron, one perhaps would expect a friendly smile or a simple greeting on a return visit, but not a bit of it last week at the Cock. Staff took great delight in interrupting a discussion, declaring phone use had been banned and...

Apparently they no longer allow people to use electronic devices, which includes just reading things on mobile phones. The staff explained that this was a new rule. When the staff were asked where the sign stating this was, they said that they were not allowed...

Very cheap and quality tasting beers in the heart of London, nice clean pub, definitely check it out if nearby

Was there last night just before close after some shopping, and i was waiting for my girlfriend to leave the toilet. Then all of a sudden the so called 'owner' (I suspect he is some sort of manager by the looks of him) appeared out...

Had food and a pint here with my son. Really quiet, nice food and drinks, not expensive, friendly bar man. The exterior has massive old style lamps, the interior upstairs where you eat has a fantastic, ornate ceiling and old paintings on the wall. A...

One of the Best pubs in london. Very good beer at a Nice price good stuff. We just loved we Will came back

We were surprised to find a quiet pub in such a busy area, and enjoyed a quick pint before eating in a restaurant nearby. Nice dark wood panelling inside, and it was good to see that some of the original features have been preserved. Lost...

Very nice pub to go drinking with friends. Good stuff and very helpfull. We will come back thats for shore.

First time for my family in London, I decide to bring them to a proper English pub to show them how is ! Couldn't find better place than this one! The place was gorgeous, the drinks affordable and good. The staff was happy, professional and...

Amazing place! Warm and welcoming atmosphere, great beer and pleasant food! Right in the middle of oxfod, it is the most suitable place to spend afternoons or evenings with many friends !!!!!

Very cosy and friendly pub, staff are great and atmosphere is lovely. Have their own brand of beers(i recommend the organic).

I read some recent reviews not very good and it cost me to believe, but each person has their opinion. My opinion and experience about my visit to the cock tavern are very good. I went on holiday with my husband to london on december...

Just loved the fireplace, great beer and good food. Nice place to spend a few hours between friends or family.

good beer, good prices and a nice fireplace. All you need if you want a couple of pints in the heart of london.

A central London pub selling a decent pint for under £4 is unheard of! Staff are always very friendly and helpful. Get in early if you would like a table as this establishment usually becomes very busy most nights.

It was our first time in London, we were out walking and decided to go in for drinks and it was a great idea. we like very good beer and we were also very well attended by the employees. we recommend

I stayed in March with my wife Raffaella and we was really well impressed about this place...great food, great choice of beers and perfect services, we cannot find better place... For sure we come back there.

Locale tipicamente inglese, ben curato e pulito. Il personale è gentile e disponibile. Cibo di ottima qualità e ben cucinato....

Un pub molto carino situato in pieno centro il personale è molto accogliente a differenza della scarsità di empatia che...

Went there with my Family, we had some drinks and food, everything was very good. The beer very veey good. Nice staff. We will return

My family and I entered this pub for a quick drink and a bite to eat. My Dad's pie came with stone cold cabbage which he requested to be warmed up, the waiter insisted that the cabbage comes cold but nevertheless took it away to...

My friends and I have been using the Cock Tavern as a monthly meeting point for a year or so. We reserve a table upstairs from 6pm. On Thursday I turned up a few minutes early (1754) feeling slightly faint after donating blood, and wanted...

After ordering four pints and a meal (which was definitely cooked via microwave) I was told I was too drunk to be at this pub, and was given water, which both I and the French bar tender thought was a pretty good joke. Sadly he...

Excellent pub apart from the recent encounters in the last few weeks with extremely rude French staff guy at the counter(who is usually on Sunday Evening). Very culturally insensitive towards Asian customers proven in his snobbish interactions with non-white customers while chatting away with other...

Ambience ok, second floor was just for dining. We came upstairs for lunch. Restaurant was quite empty and the waitress was very unfriendly & seemed to be pissed off. The whole stay was very unpleasent even though the food was good. We would not return.

They have gluten free beerr¬!!! yessssssssss coeliac heaven! will come again for sure! besides that normal pub.

Been coming here for ages ..popped in on a,Saturday 4pm..not that busy but was told to move to another side of the bar ..when I questioned the angry looking french barman why I subquently got barred by three of his little soldiers ..disgusting behavior by...

I am a middle-aged academic visiting London. We arrived at The Cock at 9pm on a quiet Sunday night. The pub staff began closing within only a couple of minutes of the bell for last orders being rung. I and a colleague drank up immediately...

Close to Oxford Circus, pub with character. Barman downstairs showed little interest in service. Did eventually get a drink and made my way upstairs to order food. Cheese & Pickle sandwich plus salad/chips reasonable value especially for London. Confined space to toilet upstairs-you can just...

The pub looks really great, but having lunch on the first floor was rather disappointing. Surrounded by tourists only I had my favourite lunch when in London - Fish & Chips. The batter was too thick and terribly oily (I took it off and had...

Went with some work colleagues to have a drink, but was kicked out by the barman for speaking Spanish. Absolutely horrendous experience

Met up with family at this central London pub in so that it was easy for all of us to get to.Only 3 minutes from Oxford Circus tube. Very friendly staff and the prices of the drinks were very reasonable considering where the pub is...

If you want a pub with 'character' - such as Edwardian interior and log fires, this is the pub for you, though the decor is very shabby and worn. It's very convenient for a break from shopping, being so close to Oxford Circus. However, if...

Abysmal rude service. I like a Sam Smith’s pub very much and you know what you’ll usually get - dependable good beers and decent prices. Yes, that’s true at the Cock Tavern. But the bar staff here are unbelievably rude. We went on a Saturday...

Stopped here last night for drinks with few friends, lovely pub good atmosphere, till the table next to us started shouting at the barmaid claiming that he didn't get all the drinks he had paid for (his friends had them hidden, we could see them),...

Popped into the Cock Tavern with my mum as the dining room floor (1st floor) was empty and we wanted something small and a quiet place to sit. Witnessed the manager shout down a woman who was asking if she could take food down for...

I went to the The Cock Tavern, 27 Great Portland St, Marylebone, London W1W 8QE The location and ambience of the Pub/Tavern is amazing the bartender/waitress was nice but the product they serve is very poor quality.I have tried the Samuel Smiths organic Perry(Pear) for...

This pub is a little gem around this busy area. Do not expect fancy screens. Wodden panels throughout. God's beers and nice organic cider available. Food available but not tried. Worth a visit for a pit stop.

We needed to have our first pint in London, so we found this place on our walk through the area. I personally loved the interior; all the old wooden details. The local beer was awesome, and the place was a great stop in.

I guess any night of the week!! Staying local on a Sunday night prior to an early Monday meeting this was a very welcome discovery. Sam Smiths real ale at £3.20 a pint, served well and in Central London can't be bad!! Simple food solution......

Visited the pub after a meeting at the BBC It’s a Sam Smith’s pub with atmosphere and good selection of beers. It even has a log fire.

I went there for the first time last Saturday evening to meet some friends before moving on. We ordered a couple of pints of Samuel Smith, paid for them but when we tasted them it was clear the beer was off. You could even smell...

This place has an excellent selection of beers on tap including organic lagers and ales. Expect a clean warm environment with fantastic service. If your in the Oxford Circus area you can’t go wrong with stoping by for a Samuel Smith Brew.

My friend and I decided to have one for the road before going home. We managed to get a table near the fire which was nice. We had a bottle of Chenin Blanc, and it was lovely. The tables are nicely spaced apart so you...

Went here for a couple of drinks before we went to a BBC Radio show nearby. It has a pleasant atmosphere - mixed with tourists and people dropping in after work. There are lots or original pub features, including the woodwork, which is interesting to...

This is an average pub, that only have drinks and spirits from the brewery, making the variety of choices really low

Questo pub inglese è posto su due piani dove al piano di sopra è possibile mangiare piatti della cucina inglese...

If like me you prefer hop infused water over shopping then The Cock is a fantastic place to drop into when avoiding the bustle of shopping on Oxford Street

My first beer on this trip to the UK this afternoon..... the better half was shopping in nearby Oxford Street. The bartender was a friendly young lady from New Zealand and we chatted for a while. Just a beer today - a Samuel Smith India...

Lively, crowded local pub just off Regent Street. Lower level for drinking, upper level for eating. Food is excellent pub grub, variety of beers on tap, service at the bar. Can't miss with this one!

Volevo provare qualcosa di non "recensito" vicino Oxford Street. La birra è mediamente buona, il cibo lascia molto a desiderare....

What can I say. You have seriously got to visit this pub. A very charming little pub which serves the most amazing for at a very reasonable price for the centre of London. If your in the regent street area find this out you won't...

It's a convenient if you are shopping on Oxford Street but it only serves Samuel Smiths beer - which isn't very good. My opinion was dampened further by the rather poor service I received and I most definitely would not return. There are many better...

At the end of the day, hungry and tired, I found this pub by chance and it was a great surprise! Delicious food especially meat pies and typical beer!

My husband and I stopped here for lunch while out running errands. The staff are wonderfully friendly and the atmosphere is charming. Lots of lovely old carved wood details and cozy dark colors create an old tavern feel and the food is wonderful. I recommend...
