Had a lovely Sunday lunch here with my partner. The array of veg on the plate was superb and the topside of beef literally melted in the mouth. The gravy too was just right, as was the Yorkshire Pudding. We couldn’t fault it. It was delicious! The service was attentive and warm too. Lovely staff. When we were shown the dessert menu, my eye went straight to the Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake. What was really enthusing was that we were made aware of a new, young chef who had made the cheesecake and was hoping for feedback. Huge stars to the Cock for making everything in house - such a rarity these days. I hope your chef reads my review and understands that while we were too full to eat dessert there and then, we took away a portion and it made me ummm and ahhhh with every mouthful. My partner didn’t get a look in. Best cheesecake ever! Well done chef, we’ll be back to sample more of your culinary delights in the near future.

Things started badly - they didn't have any record of our reservation for a table of 6 including a large electric wheelchair and a small long-haired dachshund. However, the landlady shifted the whole pub around, deployed the wheelchair ramp herself and made us comfortable. The food was excellent, the service was perfect and the ambience was relaxing. In summary: brilliant value, we'd definitely return.

We picked this venue for a meet-up with friends for lunch. The welcome was very warm and the venue clean warm and inviting. Our table for 4 was lovely. Its worth mentioning that the pub sells Timothy Taylor Landlord beer and it was divine, clearly well managed. Our food was very nice indeed and the service was good. Our only negative was the price of the desserts but all places are showing high dessert prices. WOULD WE EAT THERE AGAIN.....YES !!

Been meaning to go here for a long time, was not disappointed, warm welcome, nice table for two, music level just right. Menu offers plenty of choice of traditional pub grub with added flavour and no fancy description. large choice of sharing starters. Everything is reasonably priced and good sized portions. Food arrived hot and nicely presented. We visited early on a friday evening in mid october so service was quick.

We hadn't booked which in hindsight was a mistake, but still managed to get a table. Staff were friendly, food and service was very good. We had starters and mains, all great quality but we found the mains portions too big having had starters, and at most could only eat half of what was offered. Typical pub lunch menu with specials of the day. Small portions were offered but we ignored and have learned mistake, will take next time. Good atmosphere, good food, lovely staff, would recommend. Good value for money. I recommend booking and if you have a small appetite, ask for the smaller portion. Overall a great experience.

My family and I would like to say a huge heartfelt Thankyou to the management and their excellent team, at The Cock Inn,Wivelsfield Green.We had booked our Christmas Dinner there and arrived on a cold,wet and windy Sunday lunchtime but as soon as we entered this local country inn our spirits were lifted by the warmth of the welcome we received.The ages in our party ranged from 93 to 7 years old so could have proved a challenge for the staff but they all, experienced and novices,treated us with respect,friendliness and professionalism. We were shown to our beautifully ‘dressed’table and our drink orders were taken immediately.Us lads,all being real ale drinkers,in unison announced the Harvey’s best and old were both in peak condition.We all enjoyed 3 courses of plentiful,well cooked and presented food, all served with a smile from the young waitresses. Drinks were served throughout the meal without anyone having a empty glass for long. We had our table for 3 hours and never felt under pressure to vacate it,we even had time for an impromptu fun Christmas quiz between courses. We finished our afternoon with yet another drink,by the roaring log fire,in the public bar.What a perfect way to end a wonderful family Christmas meal. Top marks from us all for the team at the Cock Inn and Thankyou all so very,very much.

Living fairly local we decided to try out this establishment haven heard from others of the ‘ excellent’ food and hospitality which certainly not available to us during our visit. Parking is problematic with many customers parking in side roads, the welcome upon entering was non existent only acknowledged after standing at the bar for several minutes even though several members of the staff passed us on numerous occasions including it seemed the manager. The choice of food was good however the presentation of food on the plates, Sunday roasts, was well below standards seen at other establishments. We had to ask for more gravy as the servings had very little on each plate, thankfully this was presented quickly in a jug and was actually hot. Whilst the beef was well cooked the knives provided were very blunt therefore cutting into smaller slices was an issue even though the meat was not ‘tough’. Upon finishing our meals we had a long wait to get the plates cleared, it seemed the servers had no inclination to do so until we mentioned it; in other words they seemed to be in a different world. We waited a further 10 minutes or so thinking someone at least would offer the desert menu but again had to ask which was provided on a small board. To put into context the time we were there made the restaurant not busy being a 4pm booking with many customers having left the establishment with tables available throughout; the servers were polite but lacked the attentive requirements to clear tables in a timely manner and then to offer further courses. The servers were young, maybe only serving for a short time, therefore they really need to up their game to be more attentive for the surroundings they are working.

Visited on a dark Monday night in December during the Pandemic and not everywhere was open or serving food. On a long drive and the Cock Inn stood out from the gloom of the evening with bright and cheerful seasonal lighting which was most welcoming.It was nice that safety measures were observed, but the atmosphere of a warm and welcoming pub was maintained. A gluten-free menu was made available with perfectly customised options. Excellent Harvey's Ales were on tap also.The food was perfect but portioned for the larger appetite. Sometimes I think chefs should not associate volume with value, and smaller would have as well appreciated by this diner as the quality was excellent. In modern times wasted food is not a good thing.I would recommend to any hungry traveller.

Visited the Cock Inn for a lunchtime bite and was warmly greeted at the bar, shown to the table and offered a drink. Very pleasant outdoor seating area if not a little cramped. I had to keep jumping out of my seat to let others out even though we were only one of two tables eating.The specials menu was varied and the menu also a good choice. The beer was not the best pint I've ever had, maybe a warm glass or a dead widget.When the food arrived I was a little underwhelmed. Others had starters and they were not homemade which is a shame. The burger patty was extremely dry and needed more seasoning. Not a cheap burger by the time you put cheese and bacon in it. The coleslaw was poor and a single tablespoon dropped on the plate. The chips were ok as far as frozen chips can go. Sauces should be offered before food arrives to avoid waiting for them and I'm pretty sure it's standard to check back at the table that all is well.To conclude - it's a nice place that could do better with a few tweaks.

We visited at the cock inn today, not our first time. We didn’t know what to expect as it was our first meal out since lockdown, however we were no less impressed than other times we have eaten there, even with the restrictions the pubs are having to deal with. The food was great, plentiful and really well priced. The outside area was done so nicely, clearly with a great deal of thought gone into it for the customers. Plenty of space, nice large comfortable seating and tables, with lots of warmth coming from the heaters they have fitted. They give each table a remote to control the heater to their own desires. Didn’t have to leave the table as the service was on hand for anything we wanted, with the exception of using the toilet which is very accessible, and without entering the pub itself. Very well planned indeed. Another enjoyable experience at the cock inn.

Another great meal in our favourite local! Well on a Wednesday when we don’t feel like cooking where else would we go? From the usual warm welcome from Katie W to great service and lovely food (as always!). I spotted a home made scotch eggs and pickle starter on the board which was lovely as was my liver bacon and mash (always a favourite!) and Susan had the Ribs special which were also fabulous (apparently as she finished the lot without offering me any!). As is usually the case we were too full to look at the dessert board but left extremely satisfied. The COVID-19 restrictions were also complied with properly which was very comforting. Congrats Sam and Andy - keep up the good work!

Tried this pub out for the first time at Lunchtime today. Lots of space outside and new menus have been produced for the eat out initiative. This was clearly explained by the staff who were wearing face masks which was quite reassuring as lots of establishments are not following these guidelines. The food and service was excellent and all safety procedures were first class. Three meals and drinks totalled just over £20.00 - wow! Please don't forget to tip the staff though accordingly as they have been working so hard. Will definitely be back!

We ended up here unplanned. Had not read reviews, our hunger made us stop here! We were greeted by a very friendly lady. The place is decorated beautifully and the service was simply really good. Would definitely recommend this place for a family meal!!

After scouring the websites for dog friendly pubs, this time we ventured into Wivelsfield and to the Cock Inn. This is in Wivelsfield Green,and on arrival we were able to drop the car off in the pub car park. I must say we were very warmly greeted by a member of staff, who showed us to a table and also took our drinks order that was brought to the table for us.Even though the pub is open at 11am,they don't serve food until noon, but we did notice that they do a breakfast between 10am and 11am.Anyway with noon approaching and our minds made up as to what we would have, our orders were taken very promptly. All I can say is that when it arrived, we both had to pass comment on the size of our meals they were huge. From a mouthwatering burger,to the hunters chicken all the food was superb. And no doubt, that will definitely be visiting the Cock Inn again.Many thanks to all at the Cock inn for making our visit well worth it,and for a lovely lunch.From Ray,Rosemary, and our dog Susie.

The Cock is everything you want a local pub to be, with a good selection of drinks and a menu of mainly traditional pub dishes - with the odd modern ingredient added, such as halloumi fries. This is not a gourmet experience, but the food is tasty and the atmosphere friendly, which all adds up to an enjoyable experience.

Most times I go to watch the football (World Cup, Champions League or Premiership) and enjoy the local buzz, good beer and wholesome food. Seating outside front and back and pool and darts for those looking to exercise whilst at the pub...

The food and service was excellent Couldn’t fault the food, we had a number of starters to share and all main meals to end with x3 puddings! The chef wasn’t grumpy either!! 🤣

We stopped in for a meal in the way to the Dieppe ferry. Sadly they are “just a drinking pub” we were told but the lady behind the bar was very happy to direct us to a pub serving food. Very helpful to get us to a pub which did serve food.
