The Cock Inn in Milton Keynes

Went to The Cock Inn for lunch, staff were really friendly and the food was very good, especially the Fish and Chips. It was a bit quiet with only another table in there, but we enjoyed our time there.

We were there for my husband’s birthday, early on a Saturday night. There was a short menu and server told us that 8 out of the 6 things weren’t available and there were only 2 vegan/vegetarian options available. Although staff were very friendly disappointed they hadn’t at least called to warn us. Stopped off to get a take away. (No photos coz no food!) 😩 We were offered a discount on our next visit but not sure we’d risk another hungry night!

Very disappointing lunch. My friend ordered a prawn sandwich with tiger bread. The bread was hard and stale and they used the crust as one of the slices. She had to leave the bread

Food amazing and staff very friendly. My wife and I had specific dietary requirements and the owner could not of been more friendly and helpful. Also the Christmas decorations were lovely. We very much look forward to going there again soon

Not good. Was booked for Sunday lunch at 1.30pm. Had run out of Gammon. Just beef or chicken left. They had served a party before us they said. Waited for ages between courses. The staff sat about the bar eating biscuits but didn't check on us. Would have liked more gravy. Of the 3 desserts , no cheesecake left , ice cream was all defrosted , so only brownie left , served with cream in a hot jug. Or cheeseboard. Had to go to bar to ask for coffee as staff were dragging tables about the floor, then reordered as lady forgot what 4 coffees we ordered. Mine was spilt into saucer so the paper sugar was soaked. Was not impressed with mouldy look of tiling behind the toilet door. For £16.95 for main course we expected a better experience.

We went to the cock for a family lunche on 2of April had to wait awhile to ordered there was I my one waitress when the meal. came it was stone coldness to send it back to kitchen to be heated up the good was disgusting wrongdoing there abain

We had an amazing night at the cock for my 40th birthday. Having been let down by a large hotel in Milton Keynes our party of 20 had nowhere to go just two days before we were due to go out and celebrate. Within two days the team at the cock managed to book us in, take our pre order and cater for all our dietary needs. They arranged for us to have our own area of the restaurant and then set up our very own little private snug to party in afterwards (we even got to play our own music). The quality of food and drinks served were amazing. The team could not do enough for us. We had drinks waiting on arrival, along with cocktails! A fab pub - with a lovely kind efficient and accommodating team. Can’t wait to go back soon. Thank you so much! Xxx

Great menu . Good service. We will be back. Good wines and great food. Definitely got it right. We need to support now

My friend and I went for lunch and there was a choice of different menus (lunch, sandwich, vegan and GF, main) and a wide range of dishes. I had cauliflower to start and ravioli to follow, my friend had mushrooms then the sea bass. All the dishes were served hot and tasted sensational. Jasmine served us and she was so lovely. Friendly and always had a smile. Will definitely return with my husband.

Visited the Cock Inn on 12.01.2023 just after they had introduced their new menu. The place itself is very well decorated, with a homely but professional feel, there is a nice little lounge room separate to the main eating area with comfy chairs & a dart board; for more social / drinking occasions. We arrived at the same time as a large function & despite this, the service provide by Jasmine was fantastic, as was the food, which arrived in no time at all. My only other visit to the Cock inn was the previous weekend when they hosted a large gender reveal party (catering for nearly 100 people) & both times it has exceed any expectation. A real must visit if you’re in the area. The owner Aaron is also a great guy & goes above and beyond to accommodate you. Prices are more than fair for the quality of food and service provided. Cannot recommend the place enough!

Had many meals here over the last year so decided to have company Christmas meal here too. Fabulous 3 course meal with options for all tastes and all cleared our plates. Great staff and great prices.

Had Christmas lunch really impressed good well prepared tasty food good cheerful service will try again.

Food average, service non-existent, very limited menu if you dont pre-order. Party not offered a second drink or desserts. Crazy way to run a pub!

Delicious lunch at The Cock, North Crawley. Gammon steak was best my husband had had in a long time and my Venison Bourguignon was tender and delicious. Have booked to try their Sunday lunch in a couple of weeks time. Looking forward to it already.

New owners, incredible food, lovely staff. Dinner out midweek with friends. We had the restaurant to ourselves, which was great, but not good for their business. Our food was seriously good, with gravlax and Italian meats as starters. Two different venisons and two lamb mains. Then peach melba Eton mess and an Apple with brown sugar crumble. All plates were licked clean. Great conversations. It's amazing food, highly recommend it. We will be returning and bringing others to sample the food.

Well. A very decent roast dinner. Not many places get their Beef right. Excellent meal with a side of Cauliflower Cheese.

Had the best Sunday lunch that we have had in a long time, we have already booked our next visit and looking forward to it.

Went to the cock for Sunday roast with some friends, the place was a little cold but that's the only criticism, staff were friendly and knowledgeable, food was very good and prices were very reasonable, would certainly return. decent place to eat for sure

We stayed at The Cock for just a night on a visit to friends in the area. The staff gave us a warm efficient welcome.The room was ready early and perfectly clean. In the evening,we enjoyed superb Atlantic cod which was ideal for our Friday...

Great food, very socially distanced, super helpful friendly staff, huge menu with loads of choice and really cheap considering portion sizes and quality of food. Would definitely visit again if we’re in the area.

Very welcoming and atmospheric pub.5* food drinks and service! Thankyou everyone at The Cock Inn, we thuroughly enjoy our visit.

Popped in with a friend for a Lunchtime coffee and a sandwich or a snack. Was promptly told by two young staff that food wasn’t being served even though it wasn’t 2pm but enough time to prepare food nonetheless. Therefore made a quick exit. You...

Amazing new menu at the Cock Inn. Great food, warm friendly service, lovely relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended 👌

Visited Thd Cock for Sunday lunch, second day of all pubs & restaurants allowed to open after Covid 19 with family members: the care on arrival was just superb and made you feel confident that health & safety was definitely in place for its customers....

It was our first visit to The Cock on Saturday evening and our meal was okay. The homemade pie was definitely the best choice but the starter and other main was okay but nothing special. The pub lacked atmosphere (we got there about 7.30pm). The...

Another successful visit with the family, like visiting a trusted friend who is a great cook! A real home from home that produces great pies and very good quality Sunday lunch. The parfait is exceptional but then everything is of high quality, yet in a...

The Sunday Roast is exceptionally well considered. Tender Beef and the best accompaniments. Nothing is too much and all served with a friendly and welcoming smile. Even when really busy.

Cosy, lively, and friendly place with a decent car park. Pies like you've never had before and dick like you've never seen... the spotted dick looked amazing. Steak pie incredible. Probably the best pie I've ever had and I eat lots of pies coming from near the place of all pies that's Wigan the pie eating place.

Part of our mystery Tour included Lunch at a Village pub. How lucky we were that THE COCK Was chosen.Our tables where already when we arrived( By Coach) The Waitresses Treated the whole group with a great deal of care and consideration. We had a choice of starter, Main, and desert. We had chosen these beforehand ( but did not no the venue).Every thing was fresh ,hot and served on HOT plates Veg came separately , as did the salad there was plenty of for all. Tea and coffee finished of a most enjoyable Lunch. This is a Pub that I would Recommend and as we were leaving the Waitresses were laying more tables for Later guest. A lovely Pub of the beaten Track.

Very Welcoming and food was the best I have ever had. The only good pub in the area. Traditional puddings are great too.

Love this place, first came last month for pie night for a last minute anniversary dinner and most recently brought my mum for a sunday roast.It is great home cooked food that tastes amazing for a reasonable price and brought to you by great staff.Love the homemade puddings aswell.Will continue to visit this gem.

We wanted somewhere close but tucked away from the main city of Milton Keynes, This was a great choice. There is not a huge range of choices as a lot of things are preparred fresh, but the family had no problem finding things they each liked.

We came as a party of 15 for a pre booked Sunday lunch so we had our own side room, right from when we first walked through the door we were greeted by three lovely waitresses who ensured everyone had drinks. The food was wonderful with the most amazing lamb and fresh veg. My two young children were offered kids cutlery, which although it seems trivial, means a lot to a family! The desserts were as delightful as the food. Very impressed! Thanks for a lovely day

Recommended for local flavour and pub atmosphere... and it was close to the University where we were visiting.

I have visited a number of times now and am always impressed. The steak and stilton pie is to die for, but then everything is very good. I brought friends here who were visiting the UK, as I trust the place to deliver a homely welcome which is always of high quality. I have visited many more expensive establishments, but this is like coming home, its friendly and welcoming, the food is very genuine and of high quality, all home cooked, all in traditional pub surroundings. Why would I go any where else?

What a gem of a pub we came for a group dinner, (mad Organists! ) the food was excellent and the quick service was without fault. The landlord went round chatting to the group, and made us very welcome. Definitely I’d recommend this pub. Alex.

as we entered the restaurant we could see that it was heaving with people which is always a good sign and we were not disappointed in the least.the only negative I found was we had to pick what we wanted from a special board so we literally had to stand behind people that were eating to see what was on.i felt somewhat bit uncomfortable and I could see the people eating felt the same.the last time we visited there were menus on each table so I don't really understand why that idea went.going back to the lunch we both had the roast lamb was absolutely delicious and so tender.the whole meal was one of the best.there was no way we could have a dessert which was a shame as we were so full up.its always so friendly in there and the owner can't do enough for you.we would definitely go back and we live in irchester.as I've always said when I find an excellent place to eat we will travel and for us this is one of the top ones

Eaten here many times and always receive a warm welcome and quickly seated. A group of us came for lunch and unfortunately those of us that had scampi and chips felt a little let down as we would say the fat wasn't hot enough before the scampi nor chips were added as they soaked up too much fat and the chips were quite anaemic! Not pleasant. The other meals were very good so perhaps we just got an off batch or made the wrong choice! We will be back though.......

Drove passed and it looked perfect so decided to eat there. Rang to book and they fitted us in although they were very busy. Gary is the perfect host, lovely place, food was fabulous I had haddock from the specials board and my husband had fish and chips. There was live music on later but we already had plans but are planning to go back in the near future. It is 160 miles away from home but will be well worth the trip.

Fantastic customer service, friendly and welcoming. Food is so fresh and Devine to eat pudding. Big thanks

Now I dont often post a review but I read thwm all the time.

We follwed the advice of the reception at our hotel, and landed in this quirky rather lovely old hotel, where we had a good meal for a very fair price. Our waitress was particularly helpful. My wife's scallops were delicious and prepared without garlic sauce at her request. I had a crispy crunchy and ungreasy very delicious fish and chips. Highly recommended

Where do I start...We love Gary! What a guy. Such a warm welcoming pub and all the staff are so friendly. The dogs out the back are gorgeous too! Most of the food is homemade and everything we had was delicious. The steak and ale pie was amazing- the best pastry I have had! The parfait was creamy and so tasty. This was our first visit but certainly won't be our last.

We have been a couple of times now, its a great find, a warm and welcoming village pub that does great food. It would be good to have starters but the mains and sweets are home cooked and great tasting. I love going here as it feels like a home from home, with great cooking. A real hidden gem run by people who care, a real rarity in this day and age.

This place is wonderful! With amazing staff and great customer service, it's definitely a great pub for a family gathering or even just for a night out. The owners, Gary and Jackie, were kind and caring for their customers and greeted us with big smiles and warm welcomes. We will be back soon!

We live over 200 miles away from The Cock but since discovering it on a visit to Milton Keynes several years ago we now make a point of going to eat there whenever we're anywhere in the vicinity as it's one of our absolute faves. Everything is spot on from the hosting to the food to the well kept beer - it's exactly what a good pub should be. This time we ended up eating there both nights that we were in the area and it was the right decision - absolutely delicious and highly recommended. Just wish we lived closer!

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast at this pub, roast beef and roast pork with all the trimmings. Great value and quality - a proper pub in a pretty village. We will definitely be returning!

We went to the pub for the first time on Sunday lunchtime, 5 adults plus Bryony aged 2 I/2 years.

We've been to the cock inn once before and have good memories so decided on a random Wednesday when cooking seemed like a chore to take a trip back to a friendly place.

Staff very welcoming and friendly Sunday roast was excellent but make sure your starving as portions are BIG That for me my only down side The rest of party ate all Desserts were all homemade and excellent presented Will be happy to return

Very nice place inside with a great courtyard for summer. Bar staff can be space at times. No reflection on the workers, perhaps just not enough of them.

The quality of the food was excellent. The quantity of food was available in large or small portions, very handy when you are a pensioner with not a very big appetite. Very attentive host and staff. Very cosy with a log fire. Adequate parking was available.

Consistency. Quality. Warm and Friendly Welcome. No complaints. Nothing is too much trouble for the team.

Had a lamb’s Shank and chicken breast with mushroom sauce. Both excellent, full of flavour, had the plates clean. We did not check the reviews before going but were very pleasantly surprised. Had a bit of a tiff before dinner but the food put us both in a better mood :-D

we went for dinner the Saturday before Christmas and surprisingly ( and worryingly) were the only party that had booked the Christmas dinner. We need not have woriied it was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and drink and were waited on by a mine host who was actually happy to please.

Six of us out for a meal. Service was really good. All staff friendly and chatty. Food was pretty good and all plates were finished.

I have to confess the last time we went here we were a little disappointed with barely warm vegetables (.To be fair the owner offered us a new meal but when I complain I never accept such an offer. My wife would but I would feel compromised if we did). After nearly a year quite we tried the Cock again. The food was excellent as was the beer. Really glad to see such high standards and we will definitely return.

This place, as you can see from the score, comes highly rated - and for good reason!

Stoney Christmas lights festival was a great night with food and drinks and lots of entertainment going on, a great pub in a fab town full of history. Got married in The Cock so love the place. 😍🍷

Sunday Lunch was delicious, the jam sponge and custard was fantastic. The Beer and Malbec were star quality. We went to the pub based on a review , so took a risk but we were delighted with the choice.

Went in today 5th December and had amazing servies by a young lady ! And would of tipped but was told by a few other guest that why come here a lot and staff don’t get there tips which I’m not sure if this is true or not ! But food was amazing and 100peecent will come back

Went to the Cock Inn for lunch with my wife about a month ago, we both had fish and chips from their special offer menu, two courses for £8.00, great value and absolutely no compromise on quality, followed up with rubarb and ginger crumble and custard. Best meal I'd had in while, since that visit have been back with other family members and have had an equally nice meal, with excellent friendly service.

We enjoyed a family Sunday meal. The salmon dish was, excellent and I had a pleasant game pie. Good atmosphere and service, with well cooked food with fresh ingredients.

Visited here for Sunday lunch. We all chose the roast lamb which was delicious accompanied by tasty vegetables and gravy. Servings were plentiful.

Delicious Sunday lunch with tender meat and lovely fresh vegetables. Friendly atmosphere and personal service. Looking forward to Christmas lunch already.

Visited today. Had Roast Lamb, meat was lovely and tender, followed by Spotty Dick and Crumble puddings are a must. The owners were so friendly would highly recommend

Having been before long ago decided to visit again i was not disappointed we all had the lamb roast dinner the meat was so tender it fell apart and melted in you mouth the only problem with it there was not enough but thats just me being greedy. Nice crunchy roast potatoes and a good yorkshire topped it off. Dessert was the cheese board lots of different biscuits and plenty of cheese yummy. I would definitely recommend. Be sure to book as popular

Very good service, great pub-grub menu, not quite gastro-pub but well worth a visit. The home-made pies are excellent!!

Took the family to this fine village pub this evening and was blown away with the friendliness of the staff especially the landlord (made my kids laugh so much) and the food was stunning, new chef I’m told and you won’t be disappointed

If you are in the neighbourhood and looking for extremly friendly staff, excellent food and menu choice, then you cannot go wrong with visiting The Cock Inn, North Crawley... not far from Newpoet Pagnel and Milton Keynes.

We visited this pub in a party of 6. The place is homely and friendly. There is a normal menu and a specials board which is good if you don't want the normal menu. 2 of the party had fish one with batter and one gluten free, they where rather large, 2 had home made pies which was made with short crust pastry and not puff pastry like some places, the fillings just melted in your mouth. The other 2 had vegetarian and surf and turf, steak was cooked medium rare and was full of flavour. All was served with either creamed potato or chips. Plus selection of vegetables. Pudding was old school type like spotted dick. Sticky toffee pudding, and cheese cake plus others as well ice cream. I would highly recommend a visit to if you enjoy good fresh cooked honest food. Which is produced in a kitchen and not massed produced in a factory. I staff are well knowledge about the dishes and are well trained I. Customer service which is a credit to the management. Thank for a pleasant evening we will visit again.

We have a great local pub , with lovely landlord n landlady, always a friendly smile to greet you, good food and a good selection of ales, Tuesday is pie night and this always a good evening to get together with friends.

What a fantastic pub. Just wished it was closer to my home but a 30 minute was well worth it and to be honest inwould travel double that if the experience was going to be that good. 12 family members all meeting up from Herts, Beds and Aberdeenshire. My tomato soup was gorgeous and very tasty, The steak and Ale pie was a true pie not just a pot of meat with a lid but, pastry all round. The meat was cooked beautifully with some pieces slightly overcooked (which i prefer), I chose chips and they tasted as if they made on site and cooked to perfection, crispy with a soft inside.

Had a really good meal with work friends. The Steak and Ale Pie is every bit as good as the menu says it is. Friendly service and a good old fashioned pub atmosphere. Will definitely return again.

We visited here having just moved into the area

Gary and Jackie are the perfect hosts along with their friendly team. Excellent roast dinner yesterday. No fuss, no poncing around with over decorated plates. A good HOME COOKED roast with lashings of gravy. Best roast in and around MK area that we've sought out so far.

Gary made us all very welcome, food was great and everyone had a good time. Speaking to his Irish mum was the highlight, all the best!

The cock inn was a great friendly family pub! The staff/owners were wonderful with my 2 young kids and the food was great!! Highly recommend! If it hadn’t been past my kids bedtime, we would have stayed much longer!!

Cordial servicel on arrival from Gary (landlord) & later Jackie {the ant & dec of North crawley} , we sat in the patio garden area . Served in timely effortless professional manner with a smile . classic pub food at the cock inn with good ale on draught Youngs special a real treat on hot summer day. Stone baked ciabattas fresh for all , hearty servings with hand cut chips n coleslaw. (Chicken and bacon , tuna mayonnaise both tasty) . A nice trip out away from MK.

Dropped in to a lovely country pub today staff and the owner were very helpful and frendly we had white bait as a starter which was good but them came the best pie I have eaten home made with lots of veg and a great gravy beer was good will be back thank you to try the rest of your menu

Booked a table at this lovely village pub with restaurant for a weekend away, somehow managed to get Day and date in a muddle then forgot what time I had booked for, Jackie sorted us out and we arrived
