The Cock Inn in Rother - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stopped for lunch as staying in the area, lovely warm day so ate outside which was nice and peaceful, ordered the prawn baguette and the soup of the day. Tasty food and plentiful for lunch, would visit again when back in the area.

Had the carvery, fantastic food and hosts are great, excellent atmosphere, country pub setting at it's best, we will be coming back for sure.

Arrived to find the pub covered in scaffold and not particularly welcoming until we got inside where there was a warm welcome from the staff. good selection of drinks and the food was good quality pub grub, with good portions and at fair prices. It met the needs of our group perfectly.

Visited the Cock Inn for lunch last week. We had chicken wrapped in bacon with creamy stilton sauce, chips and salad. It was delicious. I would highly recommend a visit.

Well, what can you say other than give a 5star rating. The pub was warm and inviting. Lovely open fire, beams, decor good. Staff like the pub warm, welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Food excellent, well cooked, presentation good. Table service quick, efficient and excellent. If your touring the area we'll worth dropping in and eating there.

What a great find! We were staying at Flackley Ash Hotel for my partner’s 70th and we walked down to The Cock Inn each of the four nights we were staying there. What a welcome from Simon and his colleagues and from the regulars. We had a great time and would love to go back. Food was amazing too. Great menu. Loads of choice. Thanks for the games of pool.

A really nice place, great food, fantastic ambience, really nice people. It's a traditional country pub with traditional pub grub. Ham egg & chips, meat pie, lasagne apple crumble,

Great food, great service and atmosphere at a decent price highly recommend to anyone staying in Rye or passing through

I booked a table a few weeks ahead for a Sunday Roast as was having a break for a few days in the area. Arrived for our booked table for 3pm to be told they were no longer serving. So we went away hungry and could not find anywhere else in the area at short notice. I told the lady behind the bar we booked a table at 3pm….she was just staring at me!! Why take a booking if it cannot be honoured! Maybe we dodged a bullet! Will never be back!

We had a lovely family dinner here earlier this summer. Very friendly service and an excellent and varied menu. We didn't have long to wait for the food to arrive. There's also a beer garden to enjoy when the weather's good.

Visited 31st Aug. Very welcoming - dog friendly and good extremely good with large portions. Be warned the deserts are also large portions and delicious - really enjoyable evening - good value food offering and shout out to the young lady behind the bar who was running the place. Highly recommend!

We went for a meal as a family to celebrate my sons birthday , he enjoys it so much he chooses to eat here every birthday ! Me and my husband had the chicken kebab and it was really lovely and loved the way it was presented to us on a stand with hanging skewers , birthday boy had a burger with cheese and chips and picked mozzarella sticks to share with his brother , all in all was a lovely dinner , staff are lovely and the atmosphere was lovely too , one of our favourite places to eat on holiday!

It is a pretty basic pub, but the staff are very, very friendly. The food just lacked flavour - one of us had macaroni cheese, and there wasn’t much if any cheese in the sauce - it was more like macaroni bechamel with a sprinkling of cheddar on top. That said, the portion was big and the fries were nice. The bar tender did vape as he went around the pub, which we didn’t love, but it’s his place I guess! The pub was very quiet, which was a real shame, but it’s got a nice little garden out the back and it’s fairly priced.

My friend, who was visiting from The Netherlands, wanted to experience a “traditional meal in a traditional pub”. Most establishments now advertise themselves as gastro pubs, which wasn’t what we were looking for. Having read the most recent reviews and looked at the menu we selected ‘The Cock Inn’ in Peasmarsh. My friend ordered from the section entitled ‘pub classics’, selecting Steak & Ale Pie which was described as (presumably served with) “Creamy Mashed Potato & Seasonal Vegetables” for £15 As a vegan who is wheat intolerant my own choice was very limited but I’m used to this. There was no indication that any dishes were gluten free, although there was the standard notice regarding allergens “please make us aware when ordering food” I did query one dish which turned out not to be gluten free and took a stab in the dark and selected “a trio of sausages’ which was served with ‘beans and chips’. The beans turned out, not surprisingly. to be baked beans. We ordered cola light and bitter lemon to drink. The drinks were fine but when my friend ordered a second glass of bitter lemon he couldn’t drink it - he said it tasted as if someone had squirted washing up liquid into the glass. Both hot meals arrived on cold plates. Neither looked remotely appetising. The pastry on the steak pie was pale and insipid, (it looked undercooked) and was served with gravy, a dollop of overcooked cabbage and carrots. There was a round of what looked like potato mashed with parsnip or onions. What I had thought was either parsnip or onions turned out to be just lumps of potato. So much for the ‘creamy’ mashed potato and ‘seasonal’ vegetables. Carrot and cabbage cannot, surely, be described as ‘seasonal, vegetables’ in August - or does seasonable now mean vegetables that are available whatever the season? My meal was so poor that I left most of it. Both sausages and crinkle chips were obviously straight out of the freezer: some of the chips were hot but too many were barely warm and the baked beans were cold. The sausages, however, had been heated to within an inch of their lives: hot but hard, dried up and tasteless. I was charged £12 for this! When I went to pay, the barmaid, who was friendly enough, asked if we had enjoyed our meal. I replied “Not really” and went on to describe the state of my meal. “Oh we always serve on cold plates and you should have told me about the cold food and I would have heated it up for you”. I didn’t mention the soapy drink as I felt it was up to my friend to make his own complaints as I hadn’t actually tasted either the drink or his meal but he (and I) just wanted to leave there as fast as possible. My advice to prospective diners is: read ALL the reviews before you go there. We should have done. The claim on their website is “It's important to us that we serve the best quality food we can to our customers”. All I can say is “Really?”

I have visited The Cock Inn several times for Carvery Sunday lunch, there is always a good selection of meat, plenty of vegetables to choose from and the best roast potatoes, ever! The portions are substantial as are the puddings, reasonably priced very good value for money.

The 2nd time we've been here and didn't disappoint again. Friendly atmosphere, good staff and good quality food at a sensible price. Will definitely come again.

This place is a home away from home, with a warm and friendly atmosphere and attentive staff who make you feel like family. The food is fantastic, with options for every taste, and the beer selection is impressive. But what truly sets this pub apart is the genuine warmth and camaraderie that you feel when you're there. It's a community that embodies the best of British hospitality, and it's waiting for you to join it. Highly recommended. (Sirloin steak was truly next level!) My son brought his guitar ans was playing after we finished eating.. A Great evening!

Great food! Stayed at a nearby hotel, enjoyed a couple of meals here. Friendly and helpful staff. Good range of meals and a fair price. Would go again if were back in the area.

All staff were fantastic, very kind and friendly. Meals were impicable over 3 days for 5 colleagues. Would diffinatly visit again. Pool table available for anyone that likes to play. Would give more stars if able.

Excellent family run pub who really make you feel welcome! We came for 5 days and felt like one of the locals! Food was out of world portions were amazing! Bar manager and land lady couldn’t do enough to help us! Will be back!

Really good food,plenty of games of pool played, really friendly best pub in the area, locals are super friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must go pub

Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the pub is really lovely. The only disappointments are that not all the food was available and it took a third choice to find something that was available. The steak was lovely, as well as the chunky chips,...

The steak was absolutely delicious, and the onion rings were also lovely! Would highly recommend if you're visiting rye, the pool table is great fun too with a couple of drinks.

Food was right up our street... service friendly and welcoming.. Best meal we have had on our weeks holiday...

We attended this pub having travelled from Camber, the food arrived and one of the main meals was inedible, when I asked to speak to the Manager I was told that he had spoken to the chef and was advised it was supposed to taste...

Nice little pub with friendly staff, but the Food was very basic and a let down for me personally.. When i go to a restaurant the food should be the highlight, after all its why you go to a restaurant, to eat and pay for...

Great pub, excellent food and friendly staff. We arrived early but told not to worry. Our tables were switched round and we were seated straight away. The Sunday Carvery was delicious. Would highly recommend.

We stayed for 5 nights, the site is small (maybe 6-8 pitches) which is means the 2 loos and 1 shower in each of the men's and lady's block was adequate - both were clean and fine. The pub (handily!) does take-away's, the fish and...

We were greeted as soon as we came through the door! Friendly staff! Quick service, food came quick! The nachos with chilli were delicious! We had the fish and chips and the chicken burritos! Massive portions but still so much flavour! Better than some Mexican...

I cannot recommend this venue enough. Delicious food, excellent service. All the staff were warm and friendly. Definitely going back

Friendly welcoming atmosphere. Food excellent and very good value, Great selection to choose from on the menu. Certainly the best liver and bacon I have ever tasted! Nice selection of desserts as well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

The food in this pub is just brilliant. The staff are very accommodating. Nice complement if you are staying locally at Flackley Ash Hotel. Give you a nice walk out to the pub so we tend to alternate our evenings for something to eat. The...

We just popped in to get a light lunch at around 2.15 thinking that food service may have stopped. Pleased to find food was served all day. Ordered the Bacon and Brie baguette and some drinks. No pressure to pay immediately. We sat in the...

Visited the pub at lunchtime and could not fault the food , price or service. Well done, much prefer a home made menu than big chain clunk, clunk ding pre prepared microwave garbage.

Booked a table for 2 adults and 4 children as a spur of the moment decision. No regrets. Friendly Staff, excellent service and fresh tasty food. Really would recommend a visit.

Passing through area. Made welcome, service friendly, food freshly cooked, well presented and flavoursome. Would return.

Pulled in for food when driving through the area. Service was excellent. Food was lovely and really friendly team members working there. Lovely lovely spot 👌

Refused service for not wearing a mask, despite the bar being full of people not wearing masks, and the bar up the road being full of people not wearing masks after Covid has finished. Not offered table service or any other option at all. Just refused service.Get with the program imbeciles. Hate to see pubs go bust, but with this attitude that’s where you’re going.Pathetic. Pathetic. Pathetic.

Not everything round here is open on a Sunday evening and the pub kitchen closed at 7pm so we came in around 6.30pm. The pub didn't have a great atmosphere and perhaps it didn't help that no one else was eating. I was surprised that...

We visited on a horribly windy and rainy day and were hoping for a nice warm lunch (we had pre-booked early in the week due to our visit coinciding with the eat out help out scheme). We arrived at our booked time and after a...

We went for dinner here as decided not to eat in The Flackley Ash. When we arrived the barmaid was lovely, asked us to sign in, so they had a record of who we are because of the covid regs. We were then offered a...

Impulse stop in the afternoon at the end of a long drive. Not particularly inspiring from the road but was pleasantly surprised once inside. Friendly staff, safe environment with effective COVID arrangements and good, reasonably priced food. Inside needs a little updating but large, clean...

From the road this looks like a lovely country pub so we stopped here this evening, whilst camping locally, to make use of the eat out to help out deal. Before driving there, and knowing it would be busy due to EOTHO, we phoned ahead...

I spent my childhood and young adult hood living in the caravan park to the rear , i have seen it change hands and be revamped over the last 40 years, it still hasn't lost it quaint ,relaxed, friendly atmosphere . The food is always...

we passed by this pub, and stopped for food , good menu available and food good and well priced . Nice staff. The place needs an update but was fine.

Visited here after a wet & muddy walk around the area. Booked a table in advance with relatively low expectations. We were very wrong. Chose the carvery option.Great value. Food was cracking. Excellent choice all well cooked and plentiful. The staff were great and the...

Very welcoming, extremely dog friendly, superb food and sensible prices. Staff and landlady made us feel "right at home".

We stopped here for lunch on Christmas Eve 2019. You sense the history of the place as soon as you enter. It's cosy enough, the beer is reasonable but the food is best avoided...either the cook has insufficient formal training or the food was made...

group of 12 preordered lunch and it was all brought out more or less together. Most people were happy with their meals but the vegetables with the excellent cottage pie were not hot enough. The bread and butter pudding was a joke, it should be...

We came in on the off chance looking for a decent Sunday roast as we have been so disappointed with others. We had a lovely meal here. The potatoes were crispy and fluffy in the middle. The beef was superb. A great choice of veg....

We passed The Cock Inn on our way to Rye and did a quick U-turn to come back and park for a pint and a bite of lunch. We were so glad we did. We had a cheery welcome and immediately felt at home and...

We were 8 ladies from Norway who stayed at the Flackley Ash hotel. One of the evenings we though we would like to try out the local pub. It was just a short walk from the hotel and a typical English pub is was. The...

Went there today. There was 9 of us and we all had amazing yummy fresh food. We waited a little while but that was ok as you knew it was fresh. From starter main to desserts, everything was lovely. We needed 3 separate bills and it's the first time that there has been no issue with that at all. All correct. We loved it and will definately be back. xxx

Nice and cosy pub with very good food. Generous portions and big glasses! 😉👍🏻 The lovely and smiling vaitress made the evening even better for us.

Nydelig mat, og god stemning👍fantastisk betjening. Anbefales. Og de praktiserer bingo en gang i måneden. 😊 Mye for pengene.

We had an evening meal here. Staff were very welcoming, relaxed, friendly atmosphere and food excellent quality and value for money. Something for everyone. We had three generations, with the youngest being 4 years old and one who is very particular about her food; she enjoyed it all! Would definitely recommend.

Great atmosphere. Only local audience. Extremely friendly staff. Great service. Food very tasty. Price Performance very good

We enjoyed a nice lunch at this pub. The barmaid was very attentive and provided a great service. Food was nice and good value.

We ate here every evening or our stay at “the great escape “ The service was excellent, as was the food 😋 there is a very good variety of meals, Highly recommend

Well what can I say just had lunch today and it felt very comfortable and welcoming , the food was delicious and huge portions this is definitely a little gem of a pub and would definitely go back again Alan and Cheryl

Lovely food , freshly cooked . The chicken kebab was so nice better than I’ve had in Turkish restaurants cooked perfectly ! Big portions and very friendly staff, definitely will go back soon !!

Went here for a meal (2 adults +1dog) on a Sunday evening whilst staying in the area.

As a tourist, it’s great to find lovely pubs where locals come. The pub was nice, there was plenty of food and the waitress was extremely friendly

Aardige dame achter de bar, die uitleg gaf over het lokale bier. Groot zonnig terras. Mix van stamgasten en aankomenlopers. We hebben de auto naar het hotel gebracht en zijn teruggegaan om te eten. Prima kaart, goede prijzen en weer dezelfde hele aardige bediening.

Had a great lunch with family. Menu is large with something for everyone- good options for vegetarians. The portions were big and everything cooked to a good standard. Prices really reasonable. Also have a specials board. It is so great to see a proper country pub that isn’t a chain or a gastro pub. Good honest food, freshly prepared. Will definitely return soon.

We were staying at the flackley ash hotel and decided to wonder down for a spot of lunch.

Well we certainly got our value for money. The portion sizes were huge. The lady at the bar was charming and the service was quick, unobtrusive and relaxed.

Took our friend from Yorkshire here for a light lunch. Loads of choice at good prices, and very friendly staff. A very nice occasion.

Had lunch there on Tuesday after a long walk. We were welcomed by Jessica who couldn’t have been more friendly. We had tuna jacket potatoes which were really well cooked, with lovely fresh side salads, all well presented. The decor looks lovely, looks like recently renovated. Nice beer garden and nice furniture. Will definitely visit again. Little gem of a pub.

Just finished 3 days of camping at the Cock Inn.

The home made chicken was so good I had it twice in 2 days. The best pub chicken curry I’ve ever tasted.

We will be back as the food is excellent, carvery and jacket potato was enough for us, good old fashion food. There is a sweet like toddler park, safe with a good fence around it, as it’s near the road. We didn’t book just turned up, staff really helpful, our daughter lives in Peasmarsh, it is a little piece of heaven.

What can i say. Great British Pub! Superb food.Great Value.. Ate here for three consecutive evenings during our stay in Peas marsh. Lovely Great to see a Ploughman's Lunch on the menu. Dont often see it these days. Hubby's favourite!. Staff were very attentive and friendly. I miss this place. We will be back.

Popped into the pub for a drink and booked a table there for the following evening.

ABSOLUTELY LOVELY!! Really nice pub , lovely staff and best of all proper home cooked pub grub. Make sure your hungry as the portion sizes are BIG! Definitely will be returning soon.👏

Visited on the 19th March. Half a dozen people sitting round bar, apparently locals. Greeted by lady with

The Sunday carvery is really good well worth a visit The staff are friendly and dogs are allowed on a lead

We went for an evening meal after reading good report about the place. We were not disappointed with our choice. Waitress was was very friendly and helpful.

This is the place to go if you are really hungry! The annoying thing was that I couldn't finish my helping as it was so large and I don't like to leave food! The staff were very friendly and the food was very good. Would go there again...

Stopped food food on Monday evening, made very welcome. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Portions were substantial and well priced. Will definitely visit when in the area again!

Good food, dogs welcome though we humans were not made to feel so welcome!

Visited today 2 couples a baby and a 6 year old, we saw the reviews on trip advisor and the pictures of the garden etc and thought we would try it out while down at Camber sands, well the pictures of the garden are not what's it's like now but that doesn't matter as the kids enjoyed it.

Charged an extortionate £17.50 for sleeping next to a road in my bivvy bag not even in a tent. The facilities are in terrible need of updating. Money grabbing rip off merchants.

Tried this pub as it was just down the road from our hotel. They were very welcoming even though we had our dog with us. The lady serving couldn't have done more for us. Really friendly and helpful. The food was ok but pretty average pub fair. A couple of pints and a good night was had. Even the dog was catered for. Certainly worth popping in if you are nearby for a reasonable bite to eat and a drink in a friendly atmosphere.

Very nice pub and really friendly staff but unfortunately the carvery wasn't the best. Meat very tough food warm not hot but would still come back and try a plate served or basket meal.

Great place food beer fantastic stayed for a week perfect location for places to visit very handy to have jempsons supermarket within distance very friendly atmosphere hope it stays open for tourers definately booking up again , Ticks all the right boxes for us with facilities and places to go.

We were in the area and fancied a pub lunch, maybe a sandwich. Bar staff friendly and helpful and advised they did a carvery. Even though it was a hot day we went for it as they had a nice seating area outside. Fab carvery! I’m really fussy about a roast and it really impressed me, the meat and vegetables were excellent quality with lovely crispy roasties. Will definitely go back if in the area again.

Called in for a quick bite to eat on the way home from Rye. The outside is not the appealing, but that could be because it was a wet drab Bank Holiday Monday but decided to stop as car park was quite busy (always a good sign). Once inside, we were made welcome, the choice of menu was good, but as we only wanted lunch decided to go for the baguette, trust me it was a very good size with a generous amount of filling, a fresh side salad and a very large portion of chips. One of us had the all day breakfast, again a very good size and good value for money. They were very happy for our dog to come in the pub. Staff were very friendly, my only complaint is I enjoyed my baguette so much and it was such a good size, I couldn't manage dessert Still there's always next time.

We chanced on this pub after a day out in the local area. It is in the process of having a refurb. The food was good and hot and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing very fancy but tasty. The service was friendly. We would definitely return when in the area again.

We would highly recommend this pub. We enjoyed the atmosphere, open fire, good food and really nice staff. Certainly made our UK trip and we went 2 nights in a row.

Mel makes you feel welcome. We also had a nice bite at the pub. Good place to stop in! Festive with a warm fire. Sam did a great job on decorations and dressed for the season!

We come here quite a lot and never find fault with anything. The staff are all lovely and the food is freshly cooked and really good value for money. We’ll be back!

It's a bit dated but all of the staff are very friendly and the food was good pub grub. Well worth a visit. We are staying at the hotel up the road which is a 10 minute walk away, remember to take your torch with you if you go at night time as its very dark. Much cheaper than the hotel food.

We were staying at a hotel a short distance away and unable to leave our dog in the room, so came here for dinner and she was really welcomed and us too of course!

Excellent service and lovely atmosphere...food was delicious and very helpful with children....They fitted us in even though we did not have a reservation....We would re visit when in the area.also we will recommend to friends when they visit peasmarsh.

Visitamos un sábado por la noche sin reserva y era muy tranquila. Cálida bienvenida de un amable camarera/personal del bar.

Pub Restaurante con buena pinta, la gente en el bar estaban comiendo porciones parecía fresco y abundante en la placa. La comida que pedimos había sido recalentados a través de microondas, vino caliente por los bordes pero frío en el medio. Hacía un reemplazo, pero aun así diría que no muy caliente en todos los sentidos. Sin embargo, mis socios de comedor estaba caliente. Nos cobraron por el precio completo.
