The Cock Inn in Mole Valley

Service& athmosphere is great, unfortunately the food lets the place down.

After a dog walk on Headley Heath we headed to The Cock Inn for brunch. We really enjoyed our food and the menu choice was excellent. We were well looked after and will definitely be returning again soon.

Beautiful food and amazing service from Maisie! Our favourite local pub.

Went in for a sandwich lunch twice this week. Lovely food, friendly staff and really delicious cask ale.

Dropped by on the way home after a walk on Headly Heath with a new born baby and a dog, staff couldn’t have been more helpful and we were absolutely blown away by the food, it was superb. Can’t wait to go back.

Great Sunday roast and good value. Meat was very nice and vegetables excellent and sweet tasting. Portions large. I take my Dad out every Sunday trying new places around epsom/surrey since the summer and this is the best so far out of 10 or 11. Also a very friendly welcome and excellent service.

So glad we found this place. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Very spacious and welcoming with nice decor and lovely clean loos! We fancied a small Sunday lunch after a walk on Headley Heath and so had some small dishes here. Can highly recommend the cauliflower cheese and the chorizo arancini. Will be coming back again soon.

Really enjoyable food. For lunch the kitchen opens at 12 noon. I had a butter chicken burger, absolutely fabulous.

Popped in for a drink after a long walk and despite it being a busy Sunday afternoon we still got a cozy table straight away and had a nice drink. I thought the pub had a really nice relaxed feel to it so we will be back soon to try the food.

Welcome as not warming nor was the atmosphere. Food was ok although fish was very greasy.

Excellent food, relaxing atmosphere and very friendly staff

Went here for an impromptu dinner last night and the food was AMAZING. Every single thing was delicious & the chef made a special side for me as they'd run out of my order. Gary was a fantastic host, just an all round lovely experience and would highly recommend. Will definitely return!

Very welcomed and Garry was a lovely waiter. Super attentive and chatty. Food was delicious with reasonable portion sizes. Was a great place to start our countryside break in Headley. Would recommend to all. Thanks Garry!

Enjoyed Sunday lunch here and found the food to be very tasty. A bit stretched with service on Sunday lunchtime but that's nothing new for pubs. Very enjoyable time.

We are at the place,not particularly crowded,I have been waiting for 4,100£ hamburgers for almost .an hour. Unbelievable. UK is becoming more and more a joke.

Booked for a family Sunday roast. Table not clean, glasses grubby. Slow and poor service. Food was ok to be fair but only just. First time visit due to late booking and our usual places were booked up. I can see why it had capacity. One to avoid.

Awful food cold soup, and undercooked fish wouldnt recommend to anyone. They obviously knew this as didnt charge us for either dish

Booked a table for 8, staggered arrivals, we were never rushed at all. The staff were polite and friendly, the food is reasonably priced and very nicely presented. Two people in the party had the steak (I wish I had now) -they said it was superb, and you even get a complementary glass of wine to go with it. Not a huge dessert menu, but what I had was really delicious (banoffee). It was a very relaxed atmosphere- I would definitely recommend.

Disappointed Staff friendly enough Service slow Friend ordered a beetroot salad £7.25 literally 2 tablespoons in total we all laughed ! Asked for normal ketchup and mayo with fish finger sandwich and burger it never arrived ! We won’t be back Food is not great and v slow service It’s dog friendly No biscuits for dogs or bowls of water though Such a shame

We've been going to the Cock Inn for a couple of months, since it changed hands, and we were quite happy with the brunch. BUT today a little disappointed. we were told on arrival there was no black pudding or hash browns...ok we could have an extra sausage!! one of our party ordered the garden breakfast and there was no spinach, no avocado, no hash brown , no Portobello mushroom but there was bacon??? really. we also waited 45 minutes for food. I'm not sure we will be visiting again. I'm sure someone in charge should be able to get the ordering correct . disappointing.

Really lovely, cosy, country pub. Great steak and wine deal. Very happy!

The staff were very friendly and polite. No problem. I ordered a Fish finger sandwich which was horrible. There were 2 fish fingers in a brioche sandwich. The fish fingers consisted of fatty batter with minimal fish inside. The whole thing was greasy and laden with fat The chips were equally soggy and full of fat. This is a pity as the pub has a delightful atmosphere. My 2 acquaintances had soup and tourine and had no adverse comment.

Bad reception no good afternoon or I will be with you in a minute, 10 minutes before we were seated, another wait before we got served with drinks. Then another wait before we ordered the meal. Yet another wait before we got our meal to find it was just warm. Could not eat it We did complain Waitress very apologetic. Asked for the bill they deducted the price for the drinks which was appreciated but it would have been better if we had better service and a hot meal. It was not busy at all.

Lovely location, not very well kept interior. Service was not rude but not friendly. Food was awful. Chef special mixed grill was old reheated meats for £24. Wouldn't recommend other than maybe for a quick drink if u happen to be nearby

£24 for a slither of beef loaded with an extra Yorkshire pudding for good measure. Lots of Potatoes. Bread pudding with custard was the highlight as fresh and quality.

OH MY GOSH! This is a terrible joke of a restaurant. I ordered a chicken burger and thought it would be plain and yummy. After 45 mins it arrived and I was very WRONG. This was of the kids menu so it should be plain BUT IT WAS GROSS! We also never received our starter.😌

Such a disappointing Sunday roast. £25 plus service charge for "dry aged sirloin of beef" (two rectangular slabs of thin grey meat) and £18 plus service charge for "crisp lamb shoulder bonbon" (two rectangular slabs of thin grey meat) - all with soggy Yorkshire puddings, and soggy veg. I've seen photos of the roasts from here on Google reviews from a year ago and ours today looked nothing like that. Gutted - as we were really looking forward to this meal in a pub we used to really enjoy.

1st visit very good service friendly but in a weekday lunch. Lots of attention given to the dog to. 2nd visit a total disaster it was Saturday and very busy. The chef who I was facing appeared rushed off his feet. Burgers and chips flying past every few minutes. Starter came no problem and very nice but After waiting three quarters of an hour and still no sign of main course and despite enquiring several times we decided to leave for an appointment. I complained to the manager who agreed that others who arrived later had been served. Its in a lovely location and would try again on a weekday but never the weekend.

Came for sunday lunch had the beef sirloin and roast lamb both cooked to perfection, crispy roast potatoes , big bowl of veg and a huge yorkshire pudding

Food took over an hour and when it came half the orders were wrong taking up even more time.The food was alright but would of love did the service was better.

We arrived for a lunch on the way back after a school rugby match. We’d booked, the pub was half full at most. After being seated in a cozy spot, albeit in full sunlight so it was very hot, we had to wait 20 mins for drinks. It was just over an hour before food arrived, only it wasn’t what we ordered. The waitress said she’d check in the kitchen and was never seen again. (Hint: a 7 year old is unlikely to order a seafood platter for two) Left to our own devices the table next to us thought it was theirs so we sorted it ourselves. We’d obviously finished our drinks long before this point and we’re going to leave but our post-match 11 year old was starving and told us to give it 10 more minutes as ‘he wants sausages’ Our food finally arrived and to be honest it was fairly decent as pub food goes. The waitress put the food on our table and ran off before we could ask for more drinks. We didn’t see a member of staff again so with no drinks we finished our food quickly (we’d been at the Cock for 2 hours by this point) and spent another 10 minutes trying to get someone’s attention to ask for the bill. The cheeky ******** had put a 10% service charge on it. For what exactly? There was plenty of staff around, they don’t look particularly busy and perfectly nice when you get to speak to them but they clearly have no idea what they’re doing and haven’t been trained at all. Whoever runs this place really needs to get on a management course themselves and sort out the team. You’re letting the food and the location down badly.

Great team. Food and service on point 👉

Burgers were delicious and well worth the visit. Place is let down by wait staff not clearing tables, we were here for over an hour and tables were left dirty from previous diners.

Booked brunch for 4 people on Saturday and were told when we sat down that the chef was 'stuck behind a horse' so would be another 15mins before he arrived. This wasn't a problem as we weren't in a rush. The table was a bit old and haggard and sticky to the touch and the place had a rundown feel about it. When we eventually ordered our food, 2 of us ordered the breakfast, one went for eggs benedict and the other had smashed avocado on sourdough. The 2 breakfasts were delivered without the black pudding and beans - when we asked the waiter was apologetic and went away to check. He came back shortly after with the black pudding and then had to go and come back again with the beans. The Manager came and said that the chef wasn't happy with the ham so would we mind if he gave us bacon instead, which we said was fine. He told us that the chef would make it special - not much seemed special about it when it arrived. In spite of the food being wrong initially, it was ok, but not good enough to tempt us back.

We sat outside and they hadn’t seemingly been to tidy up for a while from night before. Umbrellas shabby. Tables are in desperate need of a deep clean or replacement. Dog mess on floor. Litter, bird mess, crayons, napkins, crumbs, food remains scattered on every choice of table. It felt dirty. No dog treats to offer or water in bowls. Staff weren’t interested or attentive. I’m sure impressions would be different on a different day but we chose a Sunday early lunch. Come and meet the team it said. No-one came to meet us it wasn’t at all friendly .

It's a very nice place, we will definitely come back 👍

We had a great evening with friends. A fun, friendly and lively atmosphere for the Box Hill beer festival, hosted at The Cock Inn. Great food too! Thoroughly recommend this pub!

Great afternoon and evening Good beer and great food Well worth visiting A beer festival is just part of the effort the pub is putting into the community

Came here for the beer & cider fest, and was not disappointed! The burger I had was exceptional and was cooked in front of me on the BBQ. The manager Gary could not have been more hospitable and we all had a wonderful day in the sun. Will definitely be back ☺️

Came along for the Box Hill beer festival, great beer, great bbq food and an absolutely brilliant atmosphere, a big well done to Garry (new manager) and all the team for bringing this country pub back to life. Definitely worth visiting.

Lovely service, great food for a reasonable price. A really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Fantastic full English breakfast on a Saturday morning. Good quality sausage eggs etc all freshly cooked! Very tasty! Great choice on menu! Have also enjoyed Sunday roasts on many occasions. They have got it right here :))

A thoroughly delicious Sunday roast. Great value too! Friendly and efficient service. Definitely the best in the local area.

My new favourite. It has great food, a great atmosphere, and easy parking. Staff are always friendly and know the menu's. Update august 2024: went for afternoon tea today, what a huge disappointment. £25 per person for what you could buy and put together in a supermarket for less than £5 as obviously bought in. No disability access as lift was broken and walk was to far for step free access, should have been made aware of this. Waste of money and time. Disappointed considering birthday treat and we enjoyed it the last time we came, massively gone downhill.

Very pleasant English pub with terrace overlooking a country road. The different dishes that we chose were good despite the sauces being a little disappointing, including the Caesar sauce... no anchovies... The atmosphere, the welcome was very friendly and the service quite fast. I advise.

Still as good as ever and one of the best Guinness you will find in the area. Always immaculate and tidy with courteous bar staff and excellent service. Always try and stop in if I'm in the area. Never eaten here but food always looks great when it's coming out. Nice outside terrace for summer, perfect place to start and finish a local walk.

Organised a large family lunch for my Mother’s birthday on a busy Sunday. Excellent roast dinners (Yorkshires were to die for) and they let us bring a cake. Chef even came out to join in the birthday wishes. Really lovely setting, good variety on the kids menu and dog friendly!

Amazing Sunday lunch for a family celebration, lovely greeting at the door by the manger, the food was delicious and topped off by the girls serving us - nice and knowledgeable of the menu and gave great service! Really enjoyed the family style Roast's with endless potatoes and Yorkies! Can't wait to return!

Expensive from the à la carte menu. I had a burger, which was matured for 28 days, and delicious. The staff are very charming. The wait was short.

We had been coming here for a number of years however recently the food was slightly disappointing. Today we decided to give it another try and were very satisfied with the excellent food and service. Would highly recommend to give it another go!

A very poor dining experience. The four of us ordered starters and mains, the mains arrived before the starters! When we finally received the starters one was missing. We then waited a long time for our main courses. When they arrived the poached egg on the crab cake was hard boiled! The response to that was it's just been cooked?!?! The steak was cold and the burger wasn't much better and to top it off one of our meals didn't arrive. The response from management was the chef was on his own and new? Not very professional to leave a new chef on his own in the kitchen. Also the chef should have a bit of pride in his work and not send out food that doesn't meet standard. And the pork scratchings we ordered when we first arrived took over 30 minutes to reach the table. You were highly recommended by a friend sad to say I won't be reciprocating.

Nice pint of Japanese lager, Peroni etc, and Grolsch on tap.

Great place for a pint and even better food. Also great service

The food and drinks were excellent, decent price and the burgers (1 beef 1 Vegan) worth to die for. Service was good and the pub was very clean. Plenty of seats inside and outside. Well worth a visit.

The full brunch menu wasn't available and service was a little slow, otherwise it was good.

Fantastic fish finger sandwich at lunchtime. Friend had equally good clubvsandwich. Hard to rate atmosphere as it was a quiet Wednesday lunchtime

Had the steak which was cooked to perfection

The lamb was undercooked and very chewy.

Walked there over the Downs, beer and Walked back nice place

Food reasonably priced for a Surrey pub. One main priced at £14 made me ludicrously grateful for not being ripped off again in Surrey, after so many £19 fish and chips extractions. Weirdly after a card glitch when paying, the waiter put the card machine down on the table promising to return - then we never saw him again !!!

Popped in for a light lunch on my 60th. A painful experience. Over 30mins wait for 2 x cold fish finger sandwiches @ £13.95 each to eventually arrive after chasing up the whereabouts of our order which had clearly been forgotten about. Waitress asked if we wanted sauces to which we replied yes please but she never returned. Finally our patience ran out. Returned cold food for a refund which was also a saga as they even had to do that twice as they made a mistake and only refunded one initially. Very disappointing...

We popped in for a drink today. We ordered a large wine and a rockstar martini. The bill came to £28. We paid and proceeded to sit down at a table. We looked through the menu as we were considering lunch and saw that the average price of a glass of wine was £8.50. It therefore seemed ridiculous that we had been charged £28 for 2 drinks. I approached the person who served us to query the situation. She informed me that she had charged us for 2x small glasses as we had asked for a large. This could have been acceptable if she had informed us of this instead of making up a charge of her own. I asked her if I could speak to a manger and she informed me that she was the manager. She offered no apology, she did offer to refund £8.50 which we accepted but my drink tasted sour after that. We quickly exited the establishment and will not be returning there any time soon.

Service: The service was exceptionally slow and poor. The staff seemed almost depressed and were clearly short-staffed. We waited an hour for a Sunday roast and two kids’ meals. Additionally, the drinks we ordered took over 40 minutes to arrive, despite asking several times. This included some water and a much-needed glass of wine. Food: When the food finally arrived, it was average, and not worth the wait. Value: We were overcharged, and while queuing to get our refund, we overheard multiple customers requesting the service charge be removed. When asked how everything was not one person expressed satisfaction. Conclusion: Overall, it was a major letdown. The combination of poor service, long wait times, and overcharging made for a very unpleasant dining experience. I would not recommend it to anyone and hope they address these issues promptly to improve future customer experiences

Had the steak and frits. Nice sauce, steak was cooked as requested but portion was small considering the price, about the size of a large burger, and had a thick piece of grissle running though it. Frites wee nice and the sauce was good.

Lovely meal, house wine was really enjoyable and not too pricey. The barmaid was so attentive and very helpful, will be going back soon.

This is a lovely country pub, perfect after a long walk on Headly Heath. The food is particularly good - the chicken burger is a must! Roughly £30/head for a main and a couple of drinks each. The staff are all welcoming and friendly! Dogs are also welcome.

Went on a Sunday evening Had no Sunday roast left evening though we booked! Tables dirty! Staff seemed away with the fairies! Partner was given what was left of a roast.. Mashed potato Some greens and then was asked and handed a Yorkshire pudding half way through the meal. And yet still charged £18 for the roast Risotto was a child size meal Complete waste of a Sunday evening and over £52 out of pocket for a very mediocre meal and service. Seemed like we were just not welcomed because it was late in the evening Never again!!

I saw the staff being treated horribly, wasn’t a very comfortable atmosphere to be in.

Apparently it’s horrible to work here

Very up and down. Seemed like they’d turned a corner last year, great American chef and food/service was great. 2 hours into a 2 course Sunday dinner and losing the will to live. Service is terrible and food not great for the price. Staff completely disinterested, shame as the place has potential.

A nice location however waited a long time to be served and the place was almost empty. When we finally ordered after 5mins the waitress said what we ordered had sold old,we chose again and 5 mins later was told that was gone too!! The manager said that was because agency staff were in the kitchen. Not good enough

Lovely dinner here on Friday evening. Relaxed atmosphere and good food.

The best roast I've ever had. Gravy - delicious and flavourful. Roasties - the crispest. Meats - tried the pork and lamb, both incredibly tasty. Veg on the side - very good. Yorkshire puddings - crispy, fluffy, delicious. 10/10 meal. Take your friends for a roast. You won't regret it.

Really nice pub, food was lovely, friendly, helpful staff.

Service a bit slow but think they where new slow on drinks and coffee machine not working not the best on a busy Easter weekend but the food was lovely

Can't comment on the food just popped in for a beer.Pub located in rural Surrey very nice.

Great bar staff and Manger. Fantastic.

Enjoyed a FANTASTIC Sunday lunch here. One of the most delicious roast beef and all the trimmings I’ve had for a long time. It was all cooked to perfection and served by a friendly team under the expert watchful eye of Antonio. Great job! Great pub, super dog friendly. I’d highly recommend it!

Enjoyable meal and atmosphere only complaint was that wheelchair lift was not working

We went as a party of 6 on a Sunday. The food was phenomenal. The service was flawless, friendly, warm and welcoming. A very relaxed atmosphere that allowed us to enjoy one of the best lamb roasts I've had for a long time. Highly recommend this beautiful place. As a side note this pub has plenty of parking too

We just had lunch today and the service and food were fabulous. Finally the Cock is back on track with new management and long may it last . Luke and Niall who served us were attentive , fun and very welcoming .

Took an elderly friend here for a drink. Can't say enough about how helpful the staff are. The lift was broken but they directed us to another entrance and assisted all the way. Very impressed with their customer service

Popped in for a drink on mother's day. Not booked but staff were welcoming even though they were extremely busy. Look forward to going again in the future.

We had a brilliant dinner here yesterday. The food was great, but the staff really made it. They were super friendly on welcome, and once we realised I'd booked a table for Friday (not Saturday!), they were really helpful finding us a new table for 6 of us. A great range of gluten free options and a good choice on the menu. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone.

Brilliant Sunday lunch. Food was great and loads of it. So nice to have the option to get extra gravy and potatoes. The service was excellent and host (gentleman in a flowery shirt) was really friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

I use it a fair bit despite these comments as its close to me. Lacks atmosphere. Food is reasonable but not brilliant ( better food in other pubs nearby) Good I guess for dog walkers. Nice staff. Summing up its okay at best

Excellent roast beef, one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve ever had (already been twice). Service was good. Good ale.

Went with my partner and dog on a Saturday evening. Waited quite a long time to be seated and then were put right by another table with dogs, by the loud kitchen, despite most other tables being free. The dogs on the other table seemed bothered by our dog but we weren't offered another table when they were barking. Ordered drinks and main courses. Asked for water, which never came. Food was poor; fish and chicken burger were burnt and tasteless. Side order was added to wrong main course. No one came to check on us or offer more drinks so went to the bar to get the original water. Waited for ages at the bar before noticing a tank of water at the end of the bar, which was empty so I approached a server to ask for water again - he said he wouldn't be a moment but then wandered around the pub and kitchen, not seeming to do much. Another server then came to the bar and got the water. We told the waiter that the food was disappointing so we were surprised that 'optional' service charge was still added to the bill when it eventually came. Waited a long time to pay so went to the bar to settle up, where we again had to wait for too long. We felt uncomfortable asking for service charge to be removed because it just assumed we would pay it but both the food and service were terrible. We left feeling like our date ruined because it the experience was better, we would have stayed for the duration of the evening rather than getting out ASAP. This is definitely not a gastro pub as advertised.

I always relax when I walk into this place because I know it'll all be fine. A warm welcome, good table and then THAT scotch egg starter with the perfect runny yolk arrives ..... The food that comes out of this kitchen never lets us down. Thank you to Jasmine for taking good care of us and Cooper loves you.

My mum and I had such a lovely time this afternoon at the Cock Inn. It has beautiful decor, a wide variety of options for food - and I should add my mum and I ordered the slow braised ox and thai rice and they were unbelievably good! - as well as fantastic staff. I particularly want to thank Jasmin for her friendly service and for gifting my mum a WHOLE bottle of Prosecco because it was her birthday!! Will definitely be returning!

It was nice to see a few things on the menu beyond the usual pub offerings, though they are there as well. The food was excellent, service very good, and prices were comparable with similar venues. The 'ambient music wasn't intrusive, the atmosphere was pleasant, though could be a little too 'cosy' at busier times. Having a decent sized car park is obviously a positive All in a very pleasant experience.

Lovely family meal. Plenty of parking and the staff were really nice. We had 2 courses, chicken burgers were great, fish cake was good too however not very big so could have done with come chips or a side. I would go back

Upon our arrival we were greeted by staff and the pub manager (Tony) The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming 😊 This was the best Sunday Roast we have had in a very long time ! We ordered the beef, pork Belly and vegan wellington and were amazed with the portion size, taste and presentation. The desserts were delicious and looked amazing. Staff attended to all our requirements and we will certainly be back ! PS Only 1 question please can you make the Vegan wellingtons available for sale. Compliments to the Chef and to Laurence ! Thank you ☺️

I’ve recently rediscovered this gem of a country pub and am delighted I have! The manager, Tony, is a true host - nothing is too much trouble, he chats to everyone & anyone and it’s clear he cares about his business. He goes the extra mile to ensure everyone has a great time and I will make this my pub restaurant of choice when I’m in the area. Food was first class and delivered with a smile by the friendly staff. Great job

award winning pub what an absolute joke ordered the monkfish thermidor disgusting stuffed full of spinach and great big lumps of carrots also supposed to be ward winning they have not got a clue how to make an irish coffee dished up a latte

Had lunch here with friends earlier this week. Service was very good and our main courses were all great I would have liked more custard with the crumble desert though.

We met my sister in law for afternoon tea to celebrate her birthday. We had booked and let them know of specific dietary requirements due to a health issue. The staff were very friendly and tried to be helpful but it was very disorganised and unprofessional. The afternoon tea was mediocre with no knowledge of the dietary requirements. The sandwiches were very disappointing made with limp soggy white bread and very limited fillings. The scones hard but the little cakes were soft and tasty. The staff were very attentive and tried hard to provide us with a nice experience despite the limitations of the food.

Great pub, and even has free childcare on Sundays 12.30-4.30!

This has been a regular Sunday lunch place for us over the years, so we thought we'd try a Friday night dinner. Unfortunately, it didn't match expectations. We sat in a corner with shabby looking tables, and I had to go and find someone to serve us a drink. They didn't have the special advertised on the board next to our table and it was only 7 pm. The menu was limited, I didn't feel like pork, of which there were a few options. I had a burger and fries, trumpeted on the menu as a bit special. It tasted ok, but the portion was small. The fries were like leftover bits from a chopping machine. They were about 1-2 cm long. The dessert, a banoffee sundae, was a LOT of cream with a little ice cream at the bottom. The staff were friendly, but overall, the experience was disappointing and fell behind their competitors. A shame as, like I said earlier, we have been regulars in the past. We did have a voucher for 50% off mains, but I would have paid in full for a better experience. Hopefully, things will improve as I do like the place and the staff were very friendly.

Had a great experience at the Cock in Headley, popped in for a late lunch to be advised that the kitchen shut at 3 o’clock. The Manager spoke to the chef and they agreed to provide us with a meal despite believing by shut. Great choice of food and very well prepared. The meal was absolutely lovely , wonderful. The Manager and staff were very attentive and even moved us to a quieter table without us asking. To cap everything, we were then advised that there was 50% off the main course to boot ! Can’t praise the place enough, look forward to returning.
