The Cock Inn in East Staffordshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

30th August was the one off Mexican night in the The Cock’s restaurant. It didn’t disappoint. Not only does it have one of the best views of any restaurant in the midlands, but the chefs knows their spices too. Great food, great service. My only disappointment was that it didn’t appear to attract more diners …… you all missed out.

We’d read the good reviews and thought we’d give it a try - and we weren’t disappointed. It’s an unusual pub in character having been completely rebuilt in the 1940s as a result of the adjacent Fauld ordinance store disaster. A nice touch was the explanation of the pub’s history on their website and the story that the design of building was actually meant for a pub in Birmingham! At the rear is an extension which houses the restaurant which has wonderful views across the Dove valley. A nice touch are the glazed alcoves with tables in so you can be immersed in the view. We were automatically seated at one which was a nice touch. The Spatchcock Chicken was delicious, the service great and the beer good too. With a nice village setting and ample parking it’s well recommended.

We visited the Cock inn and had a lovely lunch, good quality food and very friendly efficient service . The restaurant was very busy but there was very little waiting time.

First visit, and definitely not the last. Went on steak night and couldn’t fault the food, service or anything else, even the views are lovely.

Excellent as usual. We went on steak night, some of the steak was slighly chewy but overall pretty good. Good value with all the trimmings. Great service 1 in our party had the sausage and onion pie which was amazing. Can't wait to visit again.

Nothing short of amazing! We had a smaller young waitress with dark hair, although we did not catch her name, she was amazing! She always had a smile on her face when she came up to the table and was really attentive; not to mention the food was…. Phenomenal. All dishes were perfectly cooked and has definitely made me and the team consider coming back!

The cock inn severed great food ,with a varied menu . The lunch time menu was good value and good quality. Our server was Charlotte who was very attentive. This pub had some great views all around. I Will return in the future .

Fabulous lunch we both had Gammon cooked to perfection, toffee aple crumble sundae excellent, very good beer Pedigree,excellent service we will now consider this our regular Thanks to the staff.

As 'friends who lunch', we've dined here before at this lovely hostelry and have enjoyed every visit. Our waitress was very cheerful and nothing too much trouble for her when we plied her with questions about items on the menu while ordering and looking after us extremely well while we had our meal. Food was excellent, as always. Going again to The Cock in about a week's time in the evening with relatives! Can't wait!

We went to the Cock Inn for my husband’s 60th birthday family, there were 9 adults and 2 children. The last time I visited here was back in the 1990’s and oh my days what a difference. It still felt really cosy and welcoming, the food was just amazing. 4 of us had steaks and we all said they were the best we have had for a very long time. The young girls, waitressing were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble Will definitely be going back and highly recommend a visit.

Sunday lunch on a winter’s day. The fire roaring, service wonderful, food excellent and even zero alcohol choices for what feels like a very long dry January! 😆 Compliments to all the team as they never fail to impress. Visited a number of times and thought we should put our satisfaction down in a review. Keep up the great work 👍

Excellent lunch out in between Christmas and new year. After a lovely walk around Hanbury we popped in. There is a section of the restaurant which is dog friendly so great news. We had food off the set lunch menu which is a great deal for 2/3 courses. However looking at the normal menu it is quite pricy. Food quality great and staff very friendly.

Visited the Cock Inn for Sunday lunch service was excellent food marvellous as usual well worth is visit would recommend this restaurant to everyone

Absolutely fantastic meal complimented with lovely service. THE best burger ever - the cajun onion rings are a star. A must try!

Went for their steak night on Wednesday and had an amazing experience. Service was quick and friendly. We mentioned having a dog when we booked, and a bowl of water was there waiting for our thirsty boy after his walk around the crater. We ordered a sirloin steak and a fillet steak at a very reasonable price. Steaks were cooked perfectly and came with a delicious selection of sauces. French fries and chunky chips were both delightful, and were accompanied with crunchy onion rings, a mushroom pot pie, vine tomatoes and a pineapple and smoked cheese topper which was an optional extra. Atmosphere was warm and cosy. Would highly recommend for a wonderful dining experience.

Excellent food, beautiful location & views. Staff were really friendly, welcoming & professional. Will definitely be returning.

We were getting very disillusioned with local pubs that served food! However The Cock certainly lived up to expectations! We knew as soon as we walked through the door that we had made a good choice! Welcoming, cheerful and a lovely dining room!

This place is amazing a hidden gem!!! We were looking for a nice pub with a view for some lunch. The restaurant itself is fantastic with brilliant views of the countryside. The food in this place is excellent and such good value for money, portion sizes and quality of the food surpasses many other places we have been to by a mile!!! Service was also excellent!!! We will definitely be visiting again!!!

Great quiz first Sunday of every month. The more the merrier so come take part. Great atmosphere, lovely staff. Great for beer and food too!

Lovely pub and restaurant, great views of the surrounding countryside. My husband and myself both chose serloin steak and peppercorn baguette, absolutely bang on, so tender . My sweet was to die for ,Lemon parfait and ginger biscuits Our young servers Courtney and Violet were both really lovely, attentive and efficient. Thank you guys x

Lovely time tonight, shout-out to Grace and Rihana for making our the most enjoyable. Both very smiley and chatty, will return!

We came to the cock inn as we heard good things about it , it was very quiet today on a friday lunch time but unfortunately service was very slow despite only being 3 tables in. The food was ok but just your normal pub food we ordered the ham egg and chips and the all day breakfast , the ham was supposed to be honey glazed but didnt taste of much but ham and the all day breakfast was good. We had puddings and they were fudge and the chocolate torte which were both lovely. The best part was the view of the sheep.

Visited on 2 consecutive Sundays, with a special menu for Fathers day. The usual roasts but also including lamb - quite unusual these days. plenty of meat, tender and delicious (between us we had beef, pork and lamb) Fathers day had Steak and Kidney pie. A proper 'home' made pie packed with S & K, rich gravy and fully encased in short crust pastry. Superb. On both occasions served with lots of seasonal veggies - more than we could eat.

Fantastic lunch today with friends. Food was delicious Daisy our waitress was lovely, very helpful and attentive. Highly recommend this fab restaurant for lovely home cooked food to suit every palate very well done 👍❤️

Gorgeous hallumi burger delicious chunky chips and a nice cold Sauvignon Blanc, lovely views and friendly staff. Perfect.

Great service great food despite initial issue with steak which sorted professionally by Jamie Will definitely return to this great rural pub with fantastic views

Amazing food we both had the Salmon stir fry & lovely desserts, friendly attentive service , lovely views, will definitely return, highly recommended.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don’t listen to the reviews below. Since the change of management in the restaurant the food here has got so much better. Me and my partner had the steak and the kids had burgers. The steak dishes were cooked to perfection and the wonderful little surprise of the mushroom pot pie that came with it was absolutely divine. Would recommend for couples as well as family meal out.

Absolutely amazing, we came here on a whim from walking the fauld, the restaurant was full so we wasn’t sure if we would get a table but the manager was very helpful and accommodating and he made room for our party of 4 people. The...

Lovely views but service and food poor. Chips were grey as the potatoes were frost bitten, fish was thin, frozen, by the time I took the skin off it very little to eat. Mushy peas hard and bland, Had been looking forward to the meal...

Great food and atmosphere as always and value for money. Location and views are beautiful. Staff very polite.

Sunday lunch. Oh dear. Very slow service, had to ask four times for a pint, even after the other three had got theirs. Food finally arrived a little bit warm, but then had to wait for cutlery so it’s nearly cold by now. The beef...

We visited on the off chance on Good Friday after being let down by the previous restaurant. The food was excellent, we all had steak and they were fabulous. The restaurant staff were lovely and very welcoming, especially as we arrived late in the evening....

First time visit to this pub, but it certainly won't be the last. Food was cooked perfectly and the service was spot on. Nice ambience in the restaurant, very friendly and welcoming. Will recommend this place to everyone.

This place hits the spot in terms of interesting menu, cosy county pub ambience and friendly staff. Definitely a cut above the average pub restaurant and excellent value. Worth the trip.

Having hike around the area we went into the Cock Inn fir coffee. We arrived slightly early and the staff kindly let us us. We were dripping wet from the walk. Staff very very friendly; inn was spotless, coffee was good and atmosphere was great.

We took our parents for dinner and I cannot recommend this place high enough. We will definitely be returning!

Beautiful place with fantastic food and service, couldn’t recommend more we ate of their main menu and it was gorgeous

The meal was excellent, as good as the one we had in January! The owners are great and came to chat briefly and it was just like talking to old friends. Nothing was too much trouble. Will most certainly continue to go there as the...

We visited for lunch , the Staffordshire turkey crown with all the trimmings was not fresh , it was reheated pre cooked meat , with odd tasting sprouts and parsnips. Really disappointing, priced at £16 ! Service pretty good , nice waitress but dreadful food.

We ate in the nice, large restaurant. The food was really good and we enjoyed a lovely warm welcome despite turning up without any form of booking. Recommended.

We had our first visit to The Cock Inn last month for my daughters birthday. The food was okay but you do pay a lot for it, girls serving were nice but overall the service was very slow. We don't plan on visiting again!
