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

We used to live in the village for many years and it seemed fitting to arrange our mothers wake at the pub we used to pop into for drinks or food over the years. Staff were so friendly and attentive, food was great and even had some left over! We were lucky to have amazing weather and we enjoyed all sitting outside in the garden where there was plenty of seating to seat 50 plus people. Highly recommend

Outstanding pub in the heart of Kent. Beautiful old building with character and charm. Can’t wait to visit again with friends and family!

Very impressed with the friendly staff and the efficient service. The food was great and the selection of beers was great for me. I was glad to see that this is a dog friendly pub which is ideal. The local walks

Went in for Sunday lunch got to say best roast dinner I gave had and service was fantastic nothing was to much trouble. Lovely traditional country pub feel and dog friendly 😀.

We went to the cock for a Sunday roast as we have been wanting to try it by the new chef. Wow it was amazing!! The beef was so perfectly cooked and all the sides were fabulous! We loved it so much we’ve booked back for next Sunday with 12 friends. So family and dog friendly. Thank you to all the staff. See you soon x

Had a very tasty meal from the new chef at The Cock Inn last night , accompanied with excellent service from Marie , Brad and team along with a good atmosphere thank you

So tonight we decided to try the cock inn as not only has it got a new chef 😂 the menu that was posted through our door looked very inviting and professional, we decided to book a table for 5 people, service was slow although pub not busy, that was just for drinks 🙈 landlady had no knowledge of menu as we asked about the vegan and vegetarian options, All that was offered was taking elements off of other dishes, my daughter opted for a starter, the caramelised red onion tart which was burnt and tasted bitter, starters turned up miles apart, my soup turned up last and as I started my soup the waitress was clearing the table and I felt pressured and didn’t finish my soup. The mains were also a disappointment, burnt tasteless and inedible, my daughter actually sent her starter back which was ordered as a main due to lack of choice and the landlady argued that it was supposed to look like this “burnt” and tasted “burnt “ price was taken off the bill, fair enough but we all left hungry and disappointed ☹️ My food was inedible as over cooked also, nothing on desserts to tempt me.

Marie and her staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Marie provided exactly what we had requested - hot and cold food, vegetarian and gluten free. The food was delicious, fresh and there was plenty for people to choose from. The feedback from our guests during the afternoon was all positive and we were extremely happy with the way the afternoon went. Marie had even decorated the tables with little posies of flowers in colours we requested only the day before. We would definitely recommend The Cock Inn and hope to return in the future for a happier occasion next time.

My partner and I, my daughter and many friends recently attended a wake for a dear friend. The landlord and lady couldn’t have been more accommodating allowing us to hang pictures outside and allowed music to be played outside as it was a very warm day. All the staff were friendly and never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to be served. The food was plentiful from sandwiches, homemade pizzas, chicken wings to homemade sausage rolls. A terrific send of for our dear friend.

After my husbands funeral at Bluebell Cemetery I had paid £15 per head for a wake at The Cock Inn. Could not believe the rubbish that was served, if you wanted tea or coffee you had to make it yourself. The sandwiches looked as though they had been sat on and there were a few bits of pork pie cut up along with some awful chicken satay. Needless to say most of food was not eaten, how on earth they could justify £15 per head for that is unbelievable. Normally I would have complained but due to the occasion I certainly was in no mood. If you're planning a wake don't bother with them.

We stopped here for lunch before heading to our appointment that was close by. We were on a tight schedule (say 1h before going away) and this was shared immediately at the start to make I guess the owners (husband and wife) aware that we didn't have much time. They shared that there was no problem, and that they would open in 10 minutes. We got there after 10m and I shared again that we have now only 45m before we need to go and I feel it was useless to do so because they just took their time in preparing a very quick tomato pasta and a burger but above all, they were just chatting with people and being very slow in taking orders. We got to the point that we didn't even know if we had to leave before the dishes came out. My husband went inside to pay with the knowledge that we might have paid for not eating anything. Luckily our dishes came out 5-6 minutes before we had to leave. It was a rush. The pasta was good as I feel it was freshly made, the burger was OK. They have a nice garden (I didn't see the inside) but I didn't like the customer service or the experience at all.

Congratulations to The Cock in Halstead, one year on and the new owners are doing a great job! It’s a welcoming & friendly local now and serves great food. Well worth a visit, and happy to have your kids, dogs and cyclists welcome too!

Looks the same as it did 20 yrs ago which was a nice surprise. The rear entrance needs some attention as there is a kind of bbq area that looks more like a dumping ground. Staff friendly and once inside was lovely. Flying visit but a pleasent one.

This pub is well managed and VERY family orientated.! Kids are allowed in garden, bar staff bend over backwards, Landlords go over and beyond, food is excellent. and the locals are so so friendly! Couldn't recommend this pub more - apparently we happened to order food as they have a new chef, and have to say what we ordered was wonderful. If you haven't been, have kids, want good food and well priced drinks couldn't recommend more! Definitely on my top 5 of pubs! PS Dogs are welcome!!!!!

Visited with a friend on a Saturday lunchtime. The place was dead and a bit cold but we had a very nice lunch. I had the plant based burger. They even had vegan mayo. And it was really tasty. I recommend it! Staff very nice.

We had a group of 30 people after a funeral service at the nearby Bluebell Cemetery.The hot buffet with homemade tomato and red pepper soup was very good. As we were there from 11:00 AM we had the pub to ourselves apart from the staff until lunchtime.We gave our mum a fitting send off.My wife and I also enjoyed a nice lunch with homemade pie, vegetables and mash followed by cheesecake the week before.

Would recommend this pub. Friendly locals. Good selection of ales. Claire serving behind the bar was attentive. Although I didn't sample the food it looked good. I will be back.

A Great Party there was so much for the children to do lots of games , pumpkin carving, face painting and much more . The adults could relsx as well as children were looked after by the halloween helpers. The garden and inside of the pub was so well decorated as well a great time was had by all

We visited the pub for Halloween. It was well thought out experience for the kids from the music to the garden which had a great hunt for the kids , face painting and the staff to the made a great effort. the burgers and hot dogs were really tasty, all in all a fantastic experience.

I visited the friendly pub when they was hosting the sausage fest back in August. The food was great, on that particular day they had a selection of sausages to taste before you buy, they also had a salad buffet to have with your meal which was delicious! The weather was fantastic, making the pub garden even more beautiful. I sat outside while I ate with my friend, we was entertained by a couple of singers which really set the mood. I loved that the pub is dog friendly and that they have the freedom to roam! I have been back since and will be returning again. There was also a fab range of gins and ciders which is great for summer time! Also the pub dog is so cute!

I was not dissappointed, from the smillling reception to the very good sausage sandwhich and coffee, clean well presented, definately on my pop in list

The new managers have really turned this pub around which should be applauded. However, Sunday lunch food was below average, very skimpy on the veg, and dessert accompaniments such as ice cream (half a scoop) which made our meal expensive for what it was. Won't be going back to eat.

What a great wee place. The new owners have really turned this place around. A great venue for live, local music and a great place for lunch or dinner (in expensive and tasty) or just a catch up with friends. Highly recommended 💕😍

This place promised so much as it is very well furnished with a lovely garden! The service albeit friendly was reminiscent of Victoria Wood’s ‘two soup sketch’ which in a way made it quite endearing! The food was fine but choice limited!

saturday 24/08/19 a great night was had by all with the music from the band playing music from time gone by like the shadows ,buddy holly and many more . Had a great time dancing with all the other customers . Also nice beer, wines and variety of different cocktails it was a really good night enjoyed by all

What a delightful welcoming pub the Cock Inn had become! Great selection of drinks, lovely landlords and staff. Great decor and friendly atmosphere.

I visited here with my family on Saturday, as two adults and two young children. We have lived in the village for over 10 years and have always avoided this pub, since the new owners have arrived we decided to give it a try. To start with we didn’t not receive a warm welcoming, we felt extremely awkward. No kids menu - just ‘smaller portions’ of adult ones. The menu was extremely limited, no starters! Desserts were also nonexistent, however we were offered ones which looked as if they were growing fur from a on the counter shelf. Also, the owners dog just seems to stroll around you whilst you’re eating food.. I am all up for dog friendly pubs but this should not be allowed when customers are eating. However on a brighter note, I cannot fault the taste of the food, it was really yummy! I just wish there was a little bit more variety. I understand that the owners are new but I just get the feeling that they don’t really know what they’re doing! Would we visit again? Yes for the food but without the kids, we would not go back for the atmosphere.

I visited this pub recently and had to write a review to say what a gem it is! The bar staff are great and the landlord and lady are warm and welcoming. The landlord told me he had recently taken it over and was helpful in recommending a drink.

This is one of two pubs in this, my home village. Long gone are the two 'bottle and jug' hatches; the public and saloon bars and the main front door. The interior was clean and tidy and well decorated. And the amusing location of the pub, in relation to the road layout of Halstead, is still in existence.

Don't usually do this review stuff but felt the need to hi-light the bar staff ....one young girl in particular... couldn't have made us more welcome....our questions and her knowledge of the surrounding area was helpful but her ability to make sure other customers were not left waiting whilst we were choosing food was excellent and I must add the food was devine!!! Great pub for a pitstop lunch whilst on a Kent ramble.

Lovely pub nice food and great drinks. Brilliant wine list and biere moretti on tap for a good price. We have been a few times as locals and the landlord and lady have often given us some free snacks as appreciation for our custom! Very friendly, lovely pub dog too and a great place to visit for dinner or and/or a quick drink. We shall continue to visit!

What a great find!! We had home made pies with the most delicious roast vegetables and potatoes. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We live pretty local but this was our first visit. It certainly won't be our last! Will definitly visit again to try the normal menu very soon.

Out with group of friends to the spanish night really enjoyed it the food was lovely and great beer and wines. Good entertainment with spanish background music played by guitarist. Altogether a great night enjoyed by all

Lovely atmosphere with different areas to sit. Very clean and the food was fab! I myself had a tasty haloumi burger which was a lovely portion and so was the sweet. My friend and I will definitely go back soon!

Having deteriorated and closed for a while, this pub has now reopened and is just great. Lovely atmosphere with new managers Brad and Maria, good for popping in for drinks - and if you are eating, you won’t be disappointed in the fabulous fresh food, under chef Darren. The beer garden has been tidied up and is now a lovely place to sit in the warm. Go and see for yourself!

First ate here on mothers day and there was amazing staff, welcoming and friendly landlord and and lady. Must say that the food was exceptional. Went back today for a second piece of a great menu and was not surprised that second time around the meal was even better that the last meal. The chef clearly puts a lot pride and care into his food it looks amazing and taste even better. If you have not eaten here yet you really need to get to the cock inn halstead and be prepared for fresh, amazing and well presented food served by happy, helpful staff. If that's not enough all the family is welcome including the family dog. Well done the team at the cock inn you have made halstead proud. Looking forward to your advertised hog roast

I wrote a review last Easter regarding terrible frozen food, but I revisited for mother's Day and I'm pleased to say everything was home cooked and delicious the kitchen had only opened a couple of days before so I think they done very well. We have booked for Easter Sunday so I hope it's just as good. I'm hoping that they might consider putting starters on the menu and maybe a couple of choices other than a roast dinner. We never got to try the puddings as they had run out of the ones we like but as I said they had only just opened. I wish them lots of luck because it's a lovely pub and I think if they get the food right they will go from strength to strength.

Went out with a friend for a couple of drinks and something to eat, thought we would try the newly opened Cock Inn. So glad we did, the staff couldn't be more friendly and such a great atmosphere. We both had a different gin from the gin menu, mine was recommended by the owner and was spot on. The fish and chips was to die for, so all in all a fab place place go, we will be going back soon.

Recently re-opened with new management, we were keen to see what had changed and try the new menu. While the interior has had a modest update, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff friendly.

lovely warm friendly pub food was very good. could stay for hours.made to feel very welcome ,dog friendly lovely location.

We g there for a pub lunch, as the reviews said it was really good but they are having a change over off management and so no food was available. However looks like a really nice pub. Very traditional but lovely garden.

A real shame this as the pub itself is really quite nice and the young lady serving us was polite, efficient and friendly. This was probably the worst roast dinner I’ve ever been served. Pretty much everything was clearly frozen, from the Yorkshire’s to the vegetables. The roast spuds were deep fried so they were probably from frozen as well. The meat was easily the best part of the meal and pretty much the only edible part of it. I ate the potatos as I was so hungry. I would be amazed if there was actually a chef in the kitchen today as I don’t believe any chef would ever put his/her name to the abysmal food that we were served. I’m afraid I didn’t complain as I didn’t think that they would be able to actually do any better. There is a photo on this page of a roast dinner and it looks delicious, alas, ours was appalling.

Stopped in with my wife enroute to Sussex. Well kept pint of Landlord and still serving food at nearly three. Good value, nicely cooked and super polite staff. Highly recommended.

We visited with a couple of friends for lunch. A young lady made us very welcome and served us attentively throughout our meal. The service was speedy and efficient and the food was very reasonably priced. One of us had a chicken dish and remarked that the chicken was tough. The "Full English Breakfast" looked amazing.

What a lovely country pub this isn’t the first visit I’ve made with family and friends so I thought it’s about time to pass on the good news what a brilliant pub with its village charm it’s got to have one of the biggest log fires I’ve seen (winter time)the food is really lovely with its special board and it’s normal menu the different range of beers are good with three craft ales on tap

Let me start with the positive. Went on Sunday with family for Easter lunch the staff were lovely, and made you feel very welcome, the pub had a lovely atmosphere there was also a young girl singing with an amazing voice. We were really looking forward to our meals as we were under the impression that they were home made this part of our day was a real let down. Some of us had the roast which was such a disappointment it was tasteless frozen vegetables and Yorkshire pudding the roast potatoes looked nice but when you cut into them they were just mush. My son had the fish which sounded lovely but once again it was a thin bit of frozen fish and the burger was like cardboard. Red velvet cake was shop bought but nice. To be honest we didn't complain as we were out for a family day but I think the waitress must of noticed how much food was left on our plates when she cleared them. This pub would get a 10 out of 10 if they have a chat with the chef.

This pub is an excellent run pub in my local area witch till today we haven't visited until today. I am so glad we did the food was outstanding, and staff are friendly and go out there way to make you feel welcome. It's a very homely feeling place somewhere to enjoy the afternoon with the family I'd recommend to anyone ☺

Despite being pretty busy today, felt well looked after. Food was good, simple but done to a good standard. Chicken was a little overdone but genuinely the only complaint from our table. Left feeling full and happy.

Stopped off during a country walk for a pint. Really friendly staff and good beer. We didn’t eat but it was busy with Sunday lunchers and the food looked and smelt good!

The Cock is a pub / restaurant easy to find in a prominent position in Halstead Village, Kent. The pub has recently been refurbished and has modern decor, two roomy bars and a nice separate restaurant area. They have a couple of real ales to choose from, plus the usual draughts. Plenty of parking space to the rear and a beer garden with a bouncy castle for children to play in. Popular with the younger locals, I believe they also have regular weekend evening entertainment.

We eat here just before Christmas and overall we enjoyed our visit. Food was tasty and reasonably priced although the Dauphinois potatoes were not the best as just sliced potato in a runny creamy and a bit bland sauce. Everything else was good though and steaks were well cooked. Nice beer selection too. We would return when in the area.

I was hopeful that this pub had improved since under new management, but sadly not. It was not that busy, Thursday lunchtime. food not that hot, had to wait a long time for the food to arrive. With no local competition, this pub could really get it'self popular with the locals.

My wife and I were out having a run round the nurseries to see what is on offer for Christmas when we stumbled upon The Cock Inn. So we decided to call in for lunch we were greeted with a very warm welcome and shown...

We pop over to see our friends and god children, and decided to try out the cock inn since it had been taken over by a new owner/manager.

We booked a family sunday lunch of 7 of us- first time at this pub - walked in to a lovely roaring fire, friendly staff, very relaxing, wide choice of wines and beers - Sunday lunch was lovely, plenty of it, a few of us chose from the main menu and said it was delicious, good value - will definately be back

We went for Sunday lunch, the food was lovely and fresh. The service was faultless and very friendly staff. The only reason I didn't give full marks was due to the meat offering being only pork, beef or lamb.

Although we didn't have a reservation here, we were fortunate that we were told we could have a table on the understanding that we had to finish our meal in 45 minutes as it was already reserved for later which was fine as we were served quickly. Nice traditional pub with locals chatting at the bar. We both had roast beef which was served with delicious roast potatoes and a yorkshire pudding. Green beans, cauliflower and broccoali cheese and carrots were served separately. A delicious meal.

Had a very tasty lunch here, was trying to find somewhere to book for my mum's 90th birthday in a few weeks,we tried the food here and booked a table straight away, very impressed with the menu, lots of options for my picky family!

Fantastic food and service massive open fire fine selection of real ales set in a quaint little village

We picked The Cock Inn at random for a quick lunch on a trip from London to Tunbridge Wells and liked it so much we ended up staying the rest of the day. The pub is beautiful, but the food was amazing and the staff super friendly and attentive. Good selection of drinks and food available, quiet and spacious rooms, and a nice beer garden that we didn't really get to appreciate to its fullest as it was raining. But pretty sure that wasn't the pub's fault.

My husband and myself found this little pub for lunch having been to cooling garden centre. We absolutely loved the place , my husband had the burger which he couldn't finish as he was stuffed and I had the mushroom risotto and a side of garlic bread which was delicious and I did eat the whole lot both meals where good portion sizes. I'll be honest we could have Sat there all day.

went to this lovely pub, you could eat inside or outside, the main was freshly cooked and was wonderful, dessert was also home made and exceptional, would definitely go there again, the prices are very reasonable too and the different options very tasteful. we had risotto which was lovely and fish and chips, brownie and ice cream, "cock in "Eton mess all home made and coffees and they serve lovely drinks too.

Four went to lunch and sat outside in a lovely garden.The pub is very up together and spotlessly clean.Three enjoyed their main courses pies and stroganoff but the fish and chips were tired and disappointing.The puddings we're fine.The service was excellent.

My wife and Sister were just passing on a wet Wednesday evening and decided to stop and have a meal if they were still serving food and what an excellent surprise. Yes they were serving food and it was excellent all freshly cooked and great quality, the staff especially our waitress was a real joy and made sure we had everything we needed and was keen to please. So if you are passing by take a while to enjoy the food and ambience and like us be pleasantly surprised and add to the list of places to return to.

Me my partner came for lunch on a Monday we was the first one in was greeted by a lovely lady who sat us down, we was very surprised with the specials board which had a lovely selection. We had the scallops and mussels which may I as the best we have ever eaten then followed by the roast chicken with potato gratin and beef stroganoff which again was lovely this place is a must try we will be back again soon next time for dinner.

First time going to the C0ck Inn (cannot call it by its actual name as TripAdvisor said it has a double meaning and could be seen as a profanity). Past it a few times but never stopped off. Nice outside space with plenty of seating, but a shame there was an inflatable bouncy castle there. Staff and food were excellent. Very good selection of food on menu. The only real negative was the tiny car park as you do get idiots clearly unaware how to park with foresight of how others could get out. Overall go, visit the C@ck Inn it's a lovely pub.

We stopped here for lunch on route to the airport. wow we are so glad we did. This place is so quaint and homely. we sat outside in the beautiful garden. The staff were all so friendly, like we were regulars when in fact we'd never been there before. You really must try this place, food was well presented and tasted good - prices very reasonable too.

Im a publican & have had pubs around sevenoaks i was told the cock inn halsted was closed id just come back from Buckinghamshire after opening a closed pub to find hear a local had re-opened the pub!!ive since been frequently visited the cock inn & found it very family friendly/Dog friendly & serves the best pub food/ All i all if you want a good local the cock is the pub to be in/ sky sports/ entertainment/ support this luvly pub its the place to be!!!!....p..

The pub had a gazebo outside for us to use and they supplied the food. The food was incredible, sandwiches, homemade sausage rolls, homemade quiche and kofftas just to name a few. The staff and atmosphere was lovely. The hanging baskets were blooming the garden lovely, clean and spacious, there was also a bouncy castle in the garden which was available to us if anybody had small children. An excellent day all round, pub is super staff incredible will DEFINATELY return there again and recommend to anyone.

Had my baby shower at the cock inn the staff were extremely friendly and helpful the food was amazing well worth the money sausage rolls to die for all homemade great pub will definitely be returning

Just got home from our 1st visit since the refurb, to The Cock Inn, i had read the bad reviews before i went this time, i do not know where the bad reviews came from. We had 2 mains and 2 desserts, which i must say were absolutely lovely, will be backsoon.

First things first BEST party ever. I had my 30th party in The Cock Inn last night and I couldn't express more how great it was. I live in Dubai so was a bit worried about organising I party for 50 people at such distance but Nancy made everything so simple and easy for me. We did a barbecue which was fantastic. We had delicious burgers, chicken sausages and homemade potato salad, coleslaw and couscous. Food is such a make or break part of a party and everyone said what a high standard the food was and went back for more, every last bit went. The garden is beautiful with lots of colour flowers and fantastic if you have lots of children with you which we did. The garden is completely secure and has a bouncey castle which is in clear view so parents can relax and socialise while still being able to see the kids. We had DJ Val who was great fun! We had a mixture of ages and he catered for everyone. I would 100% use him again. The bar staff were so friendly and all knew me by name which was nice. I went back today it pick up a few bits and had a beef roast that was lovely too!All in all I can't find a negative thing to say! Thank you to all the staff!!

We have been going to The Cock for about 5 years, but on our visit last Sunday I ordered roast beef. we waited 45 minuets and the meal was TERRIBLE The beef was tough the Roast potatoes were hard and the veg were only OK the gravy was like washing up water, and the meal was only just warm. On complaint I was told that they had a new chief and had a few issues that day. OK to be fair they did not charge me for the meal. But we go out to have a good lunch not a free one, it is not acceptable. Sack the New Chief.This pub had a great chief Rory and wonderful staff like Jenny, shame the new owners seem to think that employing the young kids with no experience (obviously to save money) are acceptable. We will not be going back for a long time.

This was a fathers day meal first warning the bouncy castle is in full sun and was to hot to use being a hot day we went inside we were shown to our table there was 5 adults and two toddlers the table they gave us was next to the bar and was so crowed we asked if we could open the windows but they don't open they are painted shut, one of my party asked if we could move it to the next room which had air conditioning but they said no. we ordered the meal can't complain about the starters but when asked the young waiter a question about the meat she just said she did not now we asked for some garlic bread for our toddlers but they only have plain, we waited for our mains we got 5 meals and my father had ordered the whole chicken and we had to ask where his meal was eventually he received his meal with 3 sliced of chicken with so much fat the vegetable were hard and only one dish between us he complained and the took off the money and my sister burger was so dry she paid extra for the cheese and bacon and her partner pasta was the worst he had eaten we did not stop for dessert and the meal and surrounding awful.

Had a amazing Sunday lunch in this lovely country pub. I had the chicken and it was lovely and moist!! My husband had the beef which he said melted in your mouth and both my children had the lamb which was equally as lovely! The potatoes were fluffy on the inside and just the right amount of 'crispieness' on the outside. The pub was very busy and food did take a while to come out but it was well worth the wait. We will definitely be back

Great food, great service, brilliant. Vastly improved pub which richly deserves a five star rating. Most enjoyable.

We had excellent attentive service, but not overwhelming.Food was v.good, and as we had lighter menu, and although we had a group of 10, nothing was too much trouble.well worth a visit .Will definitely try the Sunday roast on another date.

A group of 15 cyclists called in today. We had telephoned ahead to let them know that we were coming.We secured our bikes in the rear " Beer Garden" ( an ideal place to sit when the weather is nice), and then placed our food and drink orders.The staff are very friendly, the food is very fresh and well prepared, and comes at a reasonable price. I can only comment on the sandwich's, the banquettes, and the soup, ( oh, do try their homemade soup, it is excellent). All of our riders were very complimentary regarding the food.The bathrooms are also kept to a vey high standard of hygiene.All in all, a really nice visit, and on behalf of our group, I can highly recommend The Cock,at Halstead.

popped in yesterday for a light lunch with the wife, would highly recommend, staff are great friendly pub with a great welcoming atmosphere, food great and sensibly priced, will be back for sure

I came for dinner with a friend of mine, the food looked and tasted amazing! I had one of the burgers, and it was the best burger I have ever tried! It was soo juicy and full of flavour!! And you can't forget the Brie wedges, they were so melty and delicious! Would highly recommend this place, its so homely and the new owners are really welcoming! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Me and my partner visit this county pub for a spot of Lunch and had a very good experience.the staff were very welcoming and the roast dinner was AMAZING!!!!

Went to the Cock Inn for a shared office Christmas Dinner. The staff were fantastic, the roast turkey dinner was the best restaurant roast I have ever had. The pub has a great atmosphere, and a fantastic time was had by all.

We have been to this pub for Sunday Lunch on a regular basis, It has had some rocky times, through temperamental chefs, but now things are great. Good food, the staff friendly, and service excellent. We have now been during the evening and I had the best muscles I have ever eaten. It is a must try, J & G

Came across this delightful pub and had the most amazing fish dish ever. It was a vietnamese flavoured recipe which was obviously freshly cooked with perfectly cooked veg also. The staff and landlady are so friendly also. Can't wait to go back especially in the winter when they have a roaring log fire.

Recommended here by a friend and as a family that likes its food we thought we'd give it a go. Sunday afternoon what a better way to spend it. It took about 15 minutes for our drinks to be served to the table, even though at this point in time we were 'early' and they said there wasn't anyone else in the restaurant part of the pub. We then got our starters of which were 2x pate and 2x prawn cocktail. The Pate was delicious, full of flavour and texture, definitely a great choice. On the other hand the prawn cocktail wasn't as great. The Sunday roast of which between the four of us had pork, chicken and beef thought the pork was very tough and chewy, the beef was 'okay' and the chicken was dry. Not enough gravy so they bought out some more and vegetables were sparse. The service was very slow, and it appeared there were 2 very young new waiter/waitresses serving with not a clue about anything and no support from the other waitresses. Orders had to be repeated 4x and there was a lot of 'not sure' what we do and don't offer. It was only my mum and I that ordered a pudding to share, 'homemade apple pie' and custard or cream. Well that was the worst part of the meal, it was soggy pastry of which had been put in the microwave. It wasn't hot, it wasn't that tasty or crispy. We all went away gutted about this meal as I had been told it was a great little place to eat. I won't be returning and would strongly advise going somewhere else.

This is an old fashioned country pub, not too far away from town. When we've eaten here the food has been of a good standard, but we've been disappointed on occasion to find that the kitchen has been closed. The staff are welcoming, but a general feeling that a shot of enthusiasm wouldn't go amiss!

Very small food really nice and not too expensive staff very helpful nice little garden. Not really suitable for children unless eating early

Out for a run in the car when we saw a board advertising this place. Not very busy but had to wait over an hour for our meal. To rub the salt into the wound the landlady was regaling her friends with what bad service she had recently had in another pub where she had to wait an hour for a meal! In fairness food not bad but I was annoyed by the wait. Menu extensive but unprofessional, a typed sheet with ticks and crosses for what was on. No explanation of specials board. Apparently changing ownership. Will maybe try again then

Stopped off here today after visiting polehill rather than going to Toby's as too hot for a roast and what a lovely surprise. We both had ham egg and chips and peas. So much beautiful hand carved ham we could only just manage it chips were lovely and crisp and a huge portion eggs were beautifully cooked and even the peas tasted like they had just been shucked. Great service and friendly staff. Great little country pub highly recommend it definitely will be going again

A great country pub offering good ales, wines and spirits with excellent, value for money food. Well worth a country run out in the car.

12 of us cyclists arrived for lunch. We had telephoned ahead to give an approximate time of arrival.Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and out orders efficiently taken. The menu is quite extensive and the food is well presented and at a reasonable price.We ate in the "beer garden" which was ideal for us and our bikes.The bathrooms are kept very clean.Will we return ? A big fat YES.

Took a punt coming here and glad we did.This is a traditional pub in s nice country setting. Whilst the decor could do with some sprucing up we received a warm welcome.It was a Bank Holiday Monday so no specials today....which was a shame as they looked tempting. Anyway a couple of roasts from their standard menu and a shared desert later; we left happy.

We found this place after deciding not to pay over the odds for lunch at Polhill Garden Centre. We walked into a traditional quaint pub with roaring fire and friendly staff. You could almost imagine being right in the countryside. The food was what you want; simple menu, substantial, well priced, tasty and served with a smile. We will definitely be going back.I imagine the beer garden is popular in the summer and it would be best to book at weekends.

We visited The Cock Inn for lunch, but also to find out a little more about the area. The staff were very helpful and they patrons equally nice and informative. A great village with a great pub and very friendly staff and guests. Lovely!

Visited the cook inn last weekend recommend by a friend who eat here before wen we arrive they make was fell very welcome before they take was to our table they show was the specials boards whit plenty choice of seafood dishes and meats 3 of was order the tiger prawns whit lime juice and touch of chilli they came butterfly on the plate and well presented and taste delicious 2 of was they order sirloin steak whit peppercorn sauce and they sei was to die for the other friend order the pan fried haddock in butter lemon sauce whit capers and she said was the best dishe she ever taste for long time ., the service was efficient and very friendly for shor we will be back very soon and thank you all the staff who really look after as very well.

Three of us had an excellent meal today. Tina , the landlady , suggested Liver and bacon with onion gravy. It was just delicious! The gentlemen followed with dessert---Syrup sponge and custard and profiteroles and cream, both looked very tasty. I was too full! And enjoyed a lovely cup of coffee.

12 guys decided to have our Christmas lunch here on the 18th. There had previously been some adverse press in the Sevenoaks Chronicle about the pub, which I am happy to say was completely unfounded in our experience. One of our groups son had also previously worked in the kitchen/s and was dismissive of the Chronicle article.Unfortunately the landlady was unwell at the time of the visit, so her daughter had come up from Southampton for the week to help out. The service by staff was impeccable throughout and the food, albeit a Christmas lunch, was superb. The ambience of the pub was good and after the lunch we stayed for a few more beers and some "drunken" darts until around 5pm.I was that impressed with the pub that I will be taking my family to eat there again in the near future.We wish the Landlady a speedy recovery, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We visited recently for a Sunday evening meal with friends. The restaurant was very busy and appeared to be working quite well. We were greeted by the staff and everyone was very polite and friendly and we were made to feel welcome. They have a couple of young waters who were trying so hard not to get anything wrong and succeeded. Our Sunday roast arrived very quickly and was very enjoyable. This was soon followed by sumptuous deserts. On asking if they had any horseradish sauce was told sorry we've run out and then no more dry white wine. Advise to you keep a better stock control and don't let this happen again, could be bad for business. Before leaving, the very charming elderly lady owner came and spoke to us about her up and coming offers which sounded inviting. On asking her to let us have details she was unable due to no printing ink. So we asked if information could be sent via email, sorry but I'm not experience in this area was the reply. My reply to you is don't try and loose your new clients, this was our first visit. I might come back for he Doom bar, provided this is not allowed to run out as well.
