The Cock Hotel Restaurant & Bar in Milton Keynes - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Our company recently held a two day sales conference at The Cock Hotel. From start to finish we were well looked after, nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff. Good rooms, great food and a friendly bar. We will certainly go back.

We were staying for 4 nights in hotel. Right from the start we got excellent service from Christine who booked us in. Our room was on first floor and Christine noticed straight away that my husband would struggle with stairs. She changed us to a ground floor room off the courtyard. That good service continued throughout our stay . All of the staff were friendly and helpful, always a welcome smile and eager to please. Food was very good and reasonably priced. My only criticism is that the decor is very tired and dated.

Visited for Midweek lunch. Had booked but not busy. Very attentive service from all staff. Bar staff very good. Food was first class, value for money and very flavoursome. Nice selection of sandwiches and main courses. Highly recommended

We had a wake here for our dear grandfather after his sad passing. Everything from the very first interaction to the actual day was perfect and everything we could have hoped for. The staff on site were friendly and helpful and the room was set out lovely. Our barman, Louis looked after us well and Christine kept popping in to check if there was anything else we needed. We didn’t have time to sort a playlist but they played some lovely background music which wasn’t overbearing and really set the tone. The food was delicious and the cakes were amazing. Thank you to Tim and his team, you gave us a lovely day celebrating the life of our wonderful ‘GDad Bill’ We’re so grateful!

Staff were lovely no faults but rooms were disgusting carpets were stained n vile bathroom was dirty and mouldy hallways had wires under carpets ceilings were rotten n some parts were hidden with cardboard

We held a 90th birthday party at the Cock Hotel, thanks to all who were involved in making it such a lovely celebration. Everything went smoothly on the day and the afternoon tea was tasty and beautifully presented. Sara had guided us through the planning arrangements, Tim was patient and helpful with setting up the room just the way we wanted, Daniel worked hard throughout the afternoon to keep everyone supplied with tea and coffee, always with a friendly smile and readily helping with anything we requested. It was lovely to see all our guests enjoying the food and joining in with the excellent entertainment provided by the House Jazz Band, Good Time Jazz. We will all have wonderful memories of a joyous occasion for many years to come. Thank you.

We visited The Cock Hotel for lunch and was greeted by a cheery Christine. Food was absolutely amazing, atmosphere was great and all the staff were friendly :) Couldn't have asked for a better stop for lunch and will definitely come back for Christine's smile and infectious giggle.

Lovely food!! Best burger ever! Kelly Ann was lovely! Nice hearty food. Would come again. Nice family feel. The steak was delicious!

Good food and fast service I had a nice steak with pepper corn sauce and my wife really enjoyed the Lamb shank then we both had Eton mess with coffee

The food simply wasn’t very good. Thai curry was simply not nice. Fish and chips was ok but one mouthful tasted odd and I was ill afterwards. Lovely staff.

I’ve been here a few times with my family and I have to be honest the service and the food is always fantastic we had Zoe, Kirstyn, James and Tim. As soon as we came into the Cock Hotel we were greeted by the lovely staff and was greeted by Tim who gave us Menus and a kids menu and crayons to entertain the little one. After sitting down for a few minutes looking over the Menu Zoe came over to greet us and get a drink order she was extremely friendly and start talking to the youngest. Are drinks came out impeccable fast we then got are food order taken. Within 20ish minutes are meals were out and the Burger I had was fantastic one of the best I have had in recent times. Tim came to check see food was all good which was very much appreciated. We then went to get more drinks from the bar and Kirstyn served us who was very lovely and made are drink very quick and was very nice to chat. Definitely will return very soon 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really nice breakfast , delivered very quickly . A good choice of extras to complement the main course . Stayed here a few times now and the breakfast has been consistently excellent . Met Christine , Zoe, Kelly and the manager Tim who provided excellent and friendly service

My family and I went on sunday for a sunday roast, we were very impressed as everything was cooked to perfection,. we had turkey and it was delicious! the manager was so friendly and helpful :)

Prefect fast and friendly service, delicious food. I don’t normally write reviews unless I’m impressed. Just missing.

Excellent sevice. Very welcoming. Nice food. Very well priced. Would recommend visiting. Goodchoiceof food and drinks.

Good cooked breakfast shame food is not very hot.

Could not fault the food or service. Quick to bring food out. Lamb was particularly nice. Room was clean and spacious. Lovely quirky hotel. Was a little noisy as we were above the front doors but didn't disturb us.

We stayed at the Cock Inn Stoney Stratford for a family occasion... Aunties 100th birthday.... We had an afternoon tea/buffet for approx 65 people, a few of us stayed overnight, and enjoyed a good breakfast..catering well for me being gluten free. Plenty of parking for all, rooms were spacious and clean, staff were very nice and nothing seemed too much... Christina and the manager looked after us so well throughout our short stay... Thank you.

Terrible journey here but well worth it as a friendly welcome from all the staff. Busy pub but not had to wait for anything.

Booked it for an evening for a bunch of mates to hang out together over drinks and dinner. We were seated in the adjoining area to the main bar. Service was amazing and quite frankly the food was some of the best that we had ever tasted. The steak was well done, the vegan fish and chips were so close to the real thing. The desserts were rich and sumptuous. Despite the short staff, the service was spot on and very attentive.

Me and my daughter visited for a late lunch last Saturday (26th March). The pub was busy as there was a wedding on but we had a lovely seat in the restaurant area. Our server Logan had only started the week before but honestly, he made our visit such an enjoyable one! He was so friendly and polite and nothing was too much trouble! He coped so well despite being on his own at times and we thought he was an absolute star! The food was wonderful too and when we next visit we will be asking for him to serve us again! We love this pub and it’s lovely atmosphere!

We were greeted by very politely by Charlotte on arrival and offered a choice of tables in the restaurant. The drinks were served very quickly and the meal was obviously freshly cooked, very tasty with more than ample portions. Charlotte was very positive and attentive throughout our visit which was a great help. We will definitely visit again again.

Good food at reasonable price in a good character pub. Lots of pub classics on offer from this popular pub chain. Limited parking.

We often go with our 10 month old and dog and every time they are always so welcoming. There is always someone that helps to get a high chair, ensure the dog has some water and they always make sure we have everything we need to have a good time. Couldn’t recommend it enough if you fancy a pint with a family!

Great Pub. Super comfortable and all staff are over attentive. We brought our dogs and felt very welcome. Will advise. Two weekends running. Great place

Had lunch here but service very slow, waited 45 minutes for our main course. However these were good when they arrived, we had Caesar salad with chicken, and the chicken tikka. My friend’s Bakewell tart looked excellent but I was disappointed with my crumble, it was actually a shortcrust pastry tart with something like jam in the bottom and covered in crumble.Service was difficult to locate, they seemed to be congregating in another room.

Was a great experience. Had Chloe as our server, she was very quick and was so friendly. The good service made me feel very happy and comfortable and will definitely be returning

Chloe was very friendly and gave us a warm welcome, outstanding service will definitely be coming back

Food was excellent, didn’t wait long until it arrived. Felt right at home with Michelle serving us, thank you again for making date night lovely.

We stayed two nights in the Cock Hotel, and have left a review on the hotel, in which we felt that the charm of the hotel, and the friendliness and willingness of the staff made up for various other shortcomings, and we'd be happy to stay again. We used the restaurant both nights, as it was convenient to do so, and we had a 20% off offer because we were quests. However, while we would be OK to use the hotel again, we would be unlikely to use the restaurant. The dining room reflects and amplifies sound, so it is unpleasantly loud most times, and can be distressing when there are rowdy and/or drunken parties in the room. After an uncomfortable Friday night we asked to be sat in a different room for the Saturday, and were informed that the other rooms were worse. Our daughter's first choice of meal was not available, so she selected a pizza which was rather dry, and she didn't eat it. I tried some, and agreed that it wasn't very attractive. For my meal there were no roast potatoes available, so I was offered chips or mash. I selected the mash, which was from a packet, and poorly made up (not enough liquid). It was not a good meal and certainly not good value - one course for two adults and one child, and one bottle of house wine, after the 20% discount, cost £43. We did have a better meal on the Saturday - we had the salmon, and all ingredients had been cooked fresh. We had beer with the meal. This time the cost was a more reasonable £25. However, we had to wait an hour to be served. There was an odd moment when after we had sat down we were asked to get back up and come to the till to give our credit card details. Given that we were guests at the hotel, and had already given our credit card details three times (on booking, on arrival, and on paying for the meal the previous night) we were perplexed by this, and despite explaining this to the waitress, she insisted that we got up and walked back with her to the till. It later turned out that she was new. Mistakes happen. It's just a shame for the restaurant and for us that it was one of several mistakes that made for a less than ideal experience. However, the staff are all pleasant and friendly, and the meal on the second night - although considerably delayed - was tasty and good value. So it is possible to have a good experience here. But it's a bit like playing Russian roulette, and given the uncomfortable ambiance of the room, that's not a game worth the risk.

Delicious food, friendly service. Will definitely be back. Loved it. My lasagne was fabulous, as was by brownie for pudding. My husband's chicken tikka masala was a bit small, though.

Just returned from a lovely Sunday lunch. We always feel very safe here from the hand sanitizer at the entrance to the one way system. In operation.

We booked the Cock for Sunday lunch and the meal was delicious with excellent service. We felt very comfortable during the Covid pandemic with excellent Covid safety.We enjoyed it so much we returned on Tuesday night with our Son Ans girlfriend and again had a delicious meal with excellent service from the very nice and helpful waitress Michelle.

Nice traditional pub, Good for family meal, good price, and very kind waitress Michelle, very helpful staff. Thanks 😊

Amazing service from both Laura and Forrest, both attentive and friendly. Food was gorgeous, along with quick service. Lovely atmosphere, would highly recommend.

Birthday drinks with friends, super clean and welcoming team (Forrest, Joe, Nicola and Ben) great night supporting local business in a covid safe environment.

Had a great time at the Cock, food was good and very prompt and professional service from out waitress Nicola , really made the visit special for me and my son David !

Love it here, Joe, Ben, Forrest and Nicola were really welcoming!!! What a great team! Lovely atmosphere!

The staff were super amazing, both my friend & I are diabetics, & they made sure our drinks were diet. I am disabled with a stick & restaurant staff again, were super amazing. Todays was the best food from there as yet. Normally the food is very good. But we fancied something different to normal. We both had the scampi, & it was exceptional is all we said. Ate every single bit, nicely presented, & so lovely to eat.. Prices are very reasonable. One lady said she will pass my message onto kitchen.. But where better to put it, than public.. Well done to all kitchen & all restaurant staff who were working lunch today Friday 9th Oct. Well done to you all, beautiful food & beautiful people... 5 stars straight off from both of us. Thanks guys, see u soon shelley & Amanda

The lovely christine catered to our every need while the bubbly Atlanta queen of the sea had us chuckling. Boris and Lauren topped us up whenever needed. Nice place.

We had dinner there last night and breakfast this morning. Excellent food and service. Staff were so friendly and helpful and their Covid protocols are excellent. They made us feel safe and welcome, well done!

Plenty of parking around rear of hotel. Friendly check in. Room was period to building, some decoration a little tired. Great quality food and good pint of Estrella. Shower over bath was quite good. Excellent breakfast and coffee. Would recommend

It's lovely to have dinner here! The service is very nice. They also sanitised the table before customers arrive.

We came in during the ease of lockdown. We had one lad I think named forest as our server. The place has had its issues in the past- however was rectified by the great service we experienced. Forest- A real credit to the company.

I visited here for the first time with friends for Sunday lunch, we were quickly seated and someone came to take our drinks order.We had to ask for our food order to the taken because no one came back, we were in a quiet side area with one other couple dining.Our starters took over thirty minutes to arrive, we weren’t given a waiting time and even the waitress seemed unsure as to why it had taken so long since they were so quiet at that time but it was very tasty. We had garlic mushrooms and mussels followed by three roast dinners which arrived slightly faster than the starters. The waitress also seemed confused as to what the dishes were actually meant to be served with and at first told us we had to pay extra for Yorkshire puddings when the menu clearly stated it arrived with them?A couple of items were missing from our dinners so when I asked we were told they were still cooking them, surely Sunday dinner items are prepared slightly in advance ready to be served by 12pm with the dinners going out? When the crackling eventually arrived we had already finished our dinners which was a little disappointing.They offered us free desserts so we all had ice cream sundaes, the food what we had was very tasty but I wouldn’t rush back for the service unfortunately.

Lovely hot drink and gorgeous pud - stopped in after a dog walk - dogs welcome always a plus. Sophie was absolutely lovely and made a big fuss of my 2 little fur babies who gave her 10 out of 10. Nothing too much trouble - will definitely go back. Thank you Sophie

We went here last Sunday for lunch. The food, the service, all great. Felt very safe and the food was delicious! The butternut squash was perfect! Will definitely be going back.

Meet friends today and was welcomed by the warm hospitality of the lovely Atlanta and Luaren. Exceptional customer service and the most friendliest customer service ive ever had.

Mum and I had a delicious lunch here today. When we arrived we were shown to a table and given paper menus. You can place your order via the app or at the bar. Mum chose the scampi & chips, and I had the mussels with crispy fries. Both meals were excellent. Our server was a lovely young lady called Sophie, and she was very pleasant and attentive. We felt very comfortable eating here due to the excellent safety & hygiene measures in place. Will definitely return.

Booked for a family meal to celebrate my daughters birthday. They have all the necessary procedures in place to make you feel safe during these worrying times. Staff were so helpful and let me know about the allergy info as my daughter has a nut allergy. Great food all arrived hot and together and we didn't have to wait very long. Great evening thank you we will be back

The atmosphere is really relaxed and comfortable, food was amazing and staff were helpful, kind and made you feel safe. It also was really reassuring to see everyone encouraged to follow guidelines and everything was being cleaned thoroughly. It’s a lovely place to come and relax and have some decent food and drink!

Enjoyed my Saturday night here a lot the drinks and laughs were flowing. Thank you to Chloe for helping us make the night even better would definitely recommend coming here 10/10 even if it is just for Chloe

Absolutely lovely place to dine! The food was all fresh with a beautiful combination of flavours. Michelle, our waitress, was wonderful, so accommodating and attentive. She hand made my dessert by hand and even laughed at my very poor jokes! Would definitely recommend! The cock never disappoints! Xx

Back again for dinner on 25 August to make use of the Eat Out To Help Out discount scheme and really enjoyed our experience at the Cock Hotel, Stony Stratford. Very welcoming on arrival by the hosting staff, in particular Forrest was very accommodating and friendly. We was not rushed throughout the evening and the food was delicious as always. Again, the measures Implemented for social distancing should set standards by which all other hospitality businesses should follow. Cannot recommend highly enough, and thank you once again to Forrest and all the staff for a lovely evening!

Another great meal at The Cock. Good steak and crispy chicken, excellent onion rings, lovely brownies. The service in these times is fantastic, Michelle and Lauren being the latest of a number of excellent waiters and waitresses/bar staff to look after us. The Cock is Really well set up for Covid-safe eating. You are welcomed at the door and your details taken, there is hand sanitiser in multiple locations, staff wear visors, tables have “just cleaned” signs on them, you can stay in your seat and order on the Greene King app and the toilets are well adapted to ensure social distancing. We would definitely recommend this pub with its friendly staff and good food.

Fantastic food and so great to be back had the best service from Michelle especially our Choux Buns Thank you glad to be back in safe comfortable environment xx

We came as a small group of friends and it felt safe and well organised. Freya served us all evening and was really friendly. We used the app to order which was great!

Freya served us and was helpful and friendly all night, the chicken and lasagna are both very good and I'd recommend

We had a lovely waitress named Freya who was very attentive and friendly and made our birthday drinks so much more special

I would 100% recommend this lovely family restaurant. It is great for the family, will definitely be coming back. They are very accommodating and are friendly with children and dogs. Their roast dinners are amazing. Additionally, Michelle is a lovely character with a friendly face to welcome you to the restaurant, she was extremely helpful by getting the dog some water and by giving the children some colouring packs. A very accommodating restaurant with incredible staff. The one way system and track and trace is working extremely well. They also offer the Eat out to Help out scheme!

great service, freyja was a lovely waitress, we will certainly be coming back soon!!! we came here for birthday drinks and it was made so special

Had a great meal, all staff are friendly and helpfull. Great selection of drinks. Would recommend a visit.

Stayed for a meal following a meeting. Fantastic service from Michelle who couldn't do anything more for us. Service first class and food extremely tasty. Recommend a visit.

Best millionaires cheesecake ever, can’t complain when it cost you less than £3. Big up Michelle on great service!

Best white chocolate Eton mess ever, can’t complain when it cost you less than £3! Big up Michelle on great service!

Great pub and quick service even through the unprecedented times. Michelle was excellent, nothing was too much trouble!

We visited on 1st August and were served by Michelle for the majority of the night. She had to deal with some difficult customers who obviously didn't understand or want to obey the covid rules. She dealt with them well and her service didn't falter, she always served us with a smile! Thanks so much Michelle!

Michelle has offered excellent service during these challenging times, even with some extremely difficult customers. We are happy to have stumbled across this place for some quiet drinks, unlike the young rowdy lot who obviously turned up just to cause trouble.

Lots of virtue signalling about ‘keeping you safe’. Face masks, visors, hand gel, paper menus, t-shirts. Sadly service and food really poor. Advised to use the app to order and pay. Intermittent network coverage and no WiFi offered. Eventually got order to go through. 20 minutes later asked where our drinks were. 10 minutes after that they finally arrived. Food took another 15 minutes. Very average roast, although reasonably priced. Tried to order dessert with app but eventually gave up and ordered through a waiter. Poor staff looked hot and bothered in their masks. People aren’t going to bother with this joyless experience if you don’t sort out WiFi and timely delivery of drinks.

My son has his wedding reception there. One hundred and fifty guests with the best buffet.The food ran out!Later found out they lost the paperwork, 100 guest with the cheapest buffet.More food, sorry the kitchen closed!Late night bacon rolls as ordered. Sorry kitchen closed.Son’s mother-in-law went in the kitchen, staff drinking our sparkling wine.Another occasion we went to the film society there. Ordered a meal two hours before the film. One excuse after another and in the end cancelled the order.Never again will my feet cross their threshold!

I'm writing this in the hope that someone from the Cock Hotel will read it and take note....I don't want to put people off visiting nor would I like to think that the Cock Hotel might lose business through bad reviews. I don't like it when any pub goes out of business, but I really thing they need to try harder. I only go to the Cock occasionally to the Scala film society evenings. I have never eaten there but I do get a drink from the bar and sometimes the service is incredibly slow even when they are not busy.My main comment though is about how dirty the toilets are and the floor in the corridor that leads to the function room. Toilets look like they only rarely get cleaned. When I went last year someone had kicked a large hole in the wall -it has been repaired ,but badly. The corridor floor is so disgusting that your feet stick to it! The hotel seems to do well as a wedding venue - I can think that people in love don't notice sticky floors and toilet floors still covered in glitter from the last couple's wedding!

I had my wedding at the cock hotel on the 09/01/20 it was an amazing day! With incredible customer service leading upto the big day! All the staff were incredible but 2 members of staff really shon out Angie and Forest. Angie couldn’t do enough to support me on my big day ❤️ And forest behind the bar was incredible really felt like he was part of the party really friendly and fun. Thank u all ❤️ I would highly recommend the cock for any event you may have coming up !!

We live outside of Milton Keynes but decided to stay in Milton Keynes due to seeing family Christmas day so we chose the cock hotel. It was starting to get busy but we checked in no problem with a very friendly member of staff Angie. We was put in the coach house and it was a lovely room with a very big and comfy bed, will defo b back

Popped in for a coffee and sit down out of the rain. Fairly busy inside. Friendly service and nice coffee.

Visited The Cock Hotel's restaurant on a Friday evening. Food was great, atmosphere was good and the service was amazing; our waitress Jasmine was really attentive, let us know about food and drinks offers before we ordered, and pretty much was on hand the whole evening to help us (even though there was a large party in the room)Can thoroughly recommend the chili. Great spot in Stony. Well done to A Nicely-decorated Great Independent Establishment; a friendly manager and team!

My daughter and I recently had lunch at this hotel. We opted for the scampi and chips with all of the usual trimmings. Simple food but presented very well by genuinely friendly staff who went out of there way to make sure we were happy. We were served by Darren and Jade who were both delightful. Jade in particular is the sort of staff every business needs to employ. What a gem!

We came to MK for a wedding. Arriving after a 4 hours drive we wanted a simple good pub meal and early night. We ordered drinks and sat down and had enquired if food was being serviced. We were told it was but there was about an hour wait on the food. We were ok with this so decided what we wanted and went to order. We were then told food orders are no longer being taken. It left us tired and looking elsewhere for food. The following day we had some time between the service and reception and wanted to get a ight lunch. So we though we would give them another go although I had my reservations; but I am glad we did. The manager (I think) had recognised my partner from the previous night and apologised. We do accept that things go wrong it was just hassle we could have done without that evening. I had the pate (a lunch time light meal) my partner had the burger and we had some homemade nachos to share. The food was really good and the service was also good. If we came back to MK we would visit again.

Had dinner here whilst staying in the town, food was ok but nothing special. Had Special Hunters Chicken which had an odd textured slice of chicken a very fatty gammon steak and a better chicken breast on top with chips and peas. Some of it was hot other parts lukewarm, husband had pie which he enjoyed his chips were lukewarm.

A nice place but service is slow or nearly none existent. Not enough staff, order taken but what was passed on did not result in what was ordered. Really stuggling and such a pity

Stopped in at 5pm for an early meal with friend. Ordered and waited only for the 6 items ordered to be out of stock. Not the end of the world these things happen. After the reorder we then were told after the starters had arrived that there were no veggie burgers, so yet another swap out of a meal. We were then treated to another wait over an hour this time only for two of the orders to be wrong and one completely missing. Odd as we were the only people eating at the time. Finally two hours after ordering the miss orders were "fixed" (now cold) and the missing food arrived. No feedback or updates during our wait, which is annoying when the staff members passed our table many times.

I got married here on the 30th June, i can not thank the staff enough over the duration of 2 days we was there. Our day went even better than I had ever expected, they went above and beyond including the chefs! You guys really are the perfect team. I can’t remember all of your names but honestly you are all A* Thank you again from Mr and Mrs Turner ❤️

Took work colleagues for lunch and the food was very good. Chef Scott prepared very tasty dishes and Jade's service was spectacular. I will definitely be back soon!

Had a meal for 9 of us, we were sat right out the back of the garden (great for us). We did think we would be forgotten about but Angie couldn't have been more attentive!

lovely beer garden to relax in.

I met up with some friends and they suggested coming here because they had been in the past and liked it. I’ve also been before and really didn’t like it. Anyway, to be a good sport and thinking that the fiasco of the last visit couldn’t possibly be repeated, I went along. Sat eve, 7.15pm, four of us sat down. We ordered. We waited. 7.30 the waitress came back to take our orders again as she’d lost her notepad with the order on. The heating was also on in the room (the hottest day of June and of 2019 so far). We asked to be moved to the garden. (Yay). We were served our starters. At 9.08pm, a waiter approached to tell us that one of our orders was no longer available and could we order something else...so at 9.30 we were served our main courses. We were all given a free drink to compensate the heating, the lost orders, the sold out order and the very long wait. Oh hang on...yeah the order is wrong. The waiter tells me it’s not his fault. I’m not bothered whose fault it is, I’m hungry and I’d just like the food I ordered. He blames the waitress who took the order twice already. I resign myself to eating what I was given (salmon and roasted veg) as I’m rather hungry now. A chap in whites pops to the table and says, “I’ve been asked to make a salad” and puts a bowl of lettuce and green peppers on the table. It was for me; to accompany the salmon. Without the veg now as that was taken away. It was without doubt the most boring and tasteless meal I’ve eaten. It was rubbish. At least when kids cook there’s dirt and snot in it for flavour. Maybe there was in this because I had a need for the loo 15 minutes later. And no, Mr Manager or whoever from The Cock, the issues weren’t resolved and it was mistake after mistake, the same as last time I visited. No third chance!

Stopped in for Sunday lunch with a friend and my toddler. Bar staff friendly but clearly very busy with a large wedding reception on the terrace and only 1 or 2 people behind the bar at any one time. Food came pretty quickly but that's where the positives ended. My friend had a scampi and chips which she was moderately satisfied with. I ordered a roast pork which said it came with roasted apple wedges and crackling as well as the usual trimmings. When it arrived there was no apple or crackling and when I asked the waitress she very abruptly said "there is no crackling, I'll ask about the apple." I suggested that she may want to let the bar staff know so they can tell people who order it. She, again very abruptly, said "It's literally the first pork out today" and walked off. She returned a few minutes later with a dish containing half a small apple that looked microwaved and two bits of very unappetising looking pork rind that looked more like bits of plastic than anything edible. The waitress said "There was a miscommunication, there was crackling" put it down and left. The rest of the meal was also pretty substandard; very dry carrots, overcooked broccoli, soggy 'roast' potatoes and limp Yorkshire pudding.

Lovely stay at The Cock Hotel, and were impressed by the friendly and helpful behaviour of the staff especially a lovely women we met called Jade who helped us during breakfast and made sure we were comfortable and well fed. She was making conversation which is a rare thing to find in a staff member and we were extremely impressed overall by Jade.

I have been coming to The Cock Hotel for many years and my favourite dream team that really helps make my family experience 5 star are these group - Joe, Angie, Beks, Jo and Lauren. Please keep this group together to improve the best service for this Pub. 5/5 team.

We had room no 2 looking over the courtyard at the rear. Nice and quiet. Nice big comfortable double bed. The en-suite looked as though it had been refitted recently. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

We went for dinner with friends the staff were fantastic and very informative when it came to helping us decide which gin to go for. Food arrived quickly and was delicious we will definitely be back

Kofta skewers are a must! Lovely food massive thank you to the kitchen team and staff that was on, on Saturday!

Nice establishment in nice location but the food quality lets it down badly. In our experience items either cold or otherwise inedible Such a shame!

Our last visit was a bad experience, in fact we left without have a dinner but with the good weather we decided to stay in the terrace and try again ...

We attended a wedding here last weekend and found staff were friendly and attentive. The food served was of a huge variety, tasted fabulous and very presentable. I highly recommend the venue.

After recently attending our close friends wedding and spending the evening at The Cock Hotel I wouldn’t hesitate recommending the venue to others. The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was great and the atmosphere and room were beautifully quaint.

Met for lunch. One of our diners requested the meal served differently from the menu due to dietary requirements. This was done perfectly and without any fuss. All food served nicely and on real plates not on wooden boards. Only problem encountered was to try and speak to someone by phone ahead of our visit. Car parking at rear and WCs clean and tidy. No steps at entrance so wheelchair and pushchair friendly. Tables well spaced apart.

Lovely pub and hotel with lots of history, we were so lucky to find out about the new menu with delicious traditional food, I highly recomend the gammon with homemade scotch egg which was just amazing. They also stock a variety of gluten free beers which was great for my husband!

A one hour lunch business meeting in the bar that ran on for six hours. (I really need to do a better job of estimating)

They changed the menu and ... now it takes 30mins just to serve the starters and a lot more for mains ...

Tried The Bull but poor welcome so moved to The Cock. Amazing breakfast and great service. Friendly and welcoming.
