The Cock Inn in North Devon

Nice little village pub, great food, and portion sizes. Clean decor, good seating areas in the restaurant.

Lovely food. Excellent service.

Stopped here on a long walk down to Brighton. The staff were very nice, everything was very clean, and the locals were pleasant to chat with.

Excellent pub, we were a walking group that was passing through and were warmly welcomed. Would highly recommend

Always excellent service. Great food.

Hadn't been to this pub for over 30 years. Sunday Roast was top drawer, great service and good beer.

Great tasty food. Very friendly staff.

Super friendly staff, and lovely and clean. Beer was nice and reasonably priced. Food was well priced and OK.

My local pub, and the literal heart of the village. Never been surrounded by such good people in my life Had a disaster whilst I was away from home, neighbours all asleep, and in desperation called the pub who immediately came to help and got me sorted Everything a village pub should be

Lovely food, good portion size, I was very pleased with my meal 😋

What a gem of a village pub this is. We have driven past so many times and yesterday we stopped in for a drink. The welcome was warm and friendly and they had a good range of beers to pick from. The outdoor seating area is a really credit to the owners and we will definitely be back. We didn't eat but the food looks amazing and good to know they offer gluten free options too.

Food was ok recommended large chips with cheese.cheesr cake.

Nice place. Had the Mariners Pie, which was average and lacked seasoning.

I had a lovely meal here the staff friendly and the food was great , many thanks

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Service and staff superb

Great pub, good food reasonable prices. Well recommended.

The perfect pub to eat and drink. Always a warm welcome and great atmosphere. 👍

Great pub, food, and staff! Good luck to the current owners on their new venture. You will be truly missed! ❤️

First time here so impressed with lively pub atmosphere and good quality food..

My favourite place to eat out in Mid-Sussex. Best to book ahead to reserve a table.

My first visit. The food was fantastic and the staff very attentive, polite and welcoming.

Great little pub , very attentive staff

Should have stopped for food! Menu looked amazing! Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere 👌 will definitely be back!

I don't wish to be rude, but the interior of this pub is far nicer than the exterior would indicate. It was packed and for good reason, the food was excellent. Excellent portions and excellent prices! Loved it. Also their website does them no favours either. In that regard could do with an update.

This establishment was recommended by two separate people. Maybe we went when the Chef had a bad day (or maybe it wasn’t the main chef). It was a Tuesday evening. Mediocre food.

Excellent atmosphere and outstanding service. Food was magnificent.

The food is fantastic and the service even better. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful, we will definitely visit again!

I hadn't been in here for years, but went to meet a friend for a natter on Friday night. The staff are fantastic! They make you so welcome, as soon as you walk through the door. We had booked, because we know they get busy. We had a nice table by the fire, it wasn't too noisy to chat. There were loads of specials on the board, as well as a nice menu, and the food was excellent. I had beef stroganoff. I don't often have beef because it can be so disappointing, but this tasted really good, and there were no chewy bits! Wish I could have finished it all but I pigged out on garlic bread 🙄 Didn't look at the desserts! We had two mains and two drinks, and paid about £17 each.

Friendly local with classic pub food menu. Eat in the bar, restaurant or garden. Great service from friendly staff.

Great pub with really friendly staff, was working down the road and great to get a good spread for lunch at a good price, nice proper salad on the side and generous portions

We hadn’t booked for lunch. However we were offered a table in the bar area or outside. The menu is the same wherever you sit. We chose to sit outside, waitress very attentive and despite her warning that there might be a wait for food as we hadn’t booked and they were busy it turned up without delay. The specials we ordered were tasty and good value. We would certainly return.

Food was lovely and well priced for what we had, no one left hungry so well portioned. Service was friendly and helpful when we had questions they were answered and adjustments to meals so very helpful. I hope to return again, made my mums birthday meal a wonderful experience 👍

Just wanted to share my experience at this amazing place. The food was absolutely brilliant, and the service was top-notch. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. Highly recommend checking it out! 🌟🍽️

The beer was excellent and the salad was first class. With very pleasant and helpful staff.

Excellent venue for food and atmosphere.Friendly and cheerful staff.

A very warm welcoming pub. Good food selection and a good range of beers. Quality of food is good. Staff all really welcoming and just a lovely place for a lunch or dinner. Car park next to pub.

We are visiting our son from Vancouver. We took our son and family out for Sunday roast. The service is outstanding. From the minute I walked in, I felt so welcome. The food is the best pub food we have had our visits to the UK. Reasonable priced, cooked fresh to order and generous portions. The food came out fresh and hot. My daughter in law and granddaughter have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease. They have a great gluten free menu and were able to do all the Sunday roast menu gluten free. My daughter in law said it’s so refreshing to be able to go out to eat and the staff don’t treat her like a burden. She did the meal was outstanding and was totally gluten free and she felt great after the meal. Thank you for the special time with my son and family.

Really good food and lovely service

Very nice village pub with good food options

Super place, sublime food, excellent portions and a good selection of Gluten Free

Nice pub with restaurant. Friendly staff and good food, had hunter's chicken, very tasty and nice coffee

A typical lovely English pub. So nice and friendly. Love this, a pub to be proud of👏👏👏

Yet another ale trail gem! Great food, fantastic service. Will return

My girlfriend and I arrived from Gatwick at about 21.15 and the kitchen closes at 9. They were incredible accommodating, friendly and understanding. The manager brought us some small sausage rolls and a plate of chips to tide us over. The ciders were delicious and it really made the first night of our trip a great one.

Stopped here after cycling 40 miles in hot weather. Was pleased to see Atlantic Pale Ale on tap which was refreshing after a hard graft. Ordered a chicken, bacon and avocado ciabatta with chips which was stunning! Would highly recommend.

We went there for a birthday celebration lunch. Great place all round. The Carling is essentially cold and refreshing! Thanks for the lovely lunch 😁

Great food and really nice professional staff.

We were there tonight with chanctonbury ring morris group, we got there early to have a meal as it was also my birthday. Food was excellent, as were the staff. A great evening was had, i would highly recommend this establishment

Lovely staff and lovely Harveys too. Pity I couldn't have stayed for another.

Had a great lunch here with our family. The food was good and well presented, the staff were lovely and very helpful. Nice summer menu and specials. Will be back.

Good choice on the menu and the meals we had were very good too. Pleasant atmosphere with attentive service. Will be back!

Such a nice bright place, and the staff are lovely. Food was excellent.

My husband booked this for my birthday and I was really looking forward to a lovely roast dinner. Sadly this was not to be. The day before we were due to go we received a phone call to inform us there was a party of 31 booked and so we would have to eat outside in a covered gazebo that had heaters and was attached to the building so wasn't really outside. At such late notice we couldn't get a booking anywhere else so after confirming they would have enough food and staff for us with the 31 people booking we agreed to keep our booking. Upon arrival it was very clear we were eating actually outside with a roof and heaters but open sides. After being seated were told there was no beef and no pork belly left and only 3 chicken and 3 pork loin so better hurry up and order before those went. There was 8 of us so 2 had to go without a roast at all. They also had run out of apple sauce to go with the pork. Although the food we did have was very nice the fact we were outside and chilly as a cold windy day and there was not enough food left to accommodate our party was very disappointing as this had been booked and confirmed and was for a birthday celebration. It spoilt the occasion sadly.

Unfortunately this pubs proprietors have zero interest in running a village pub or making any attempt to make it an inviting venue for the villagers. We went for a drink and we’re refused entry and served reluctantly through a window as though still in full lock down. You couldn’t wish for a more idyllic location in a quintessential English village - how could they get it so wrong. Time to move on and let someone who cares have a go.

A really lovely traditional pub, with a (probably) insane family running it. Never seen such an ability to be in such chaos and yet deliver the most delicious home made soup, and toasties with what I think was home made bread. Their nachos are good too, on a previous visit! I wish them well, with CV19 it's been a tough life running a pub, and I hope they are loved and supported into a full recovery. We will certainly be back.

Halfway round our 9 mile walk from New Yatt, we arrived at exactly midday only to find the doors shut! Not many minutes later however, we were enjoying very tasty toasties, served with salad and crisps, and delicious sweet potato chips, washed down with some fine beverages, all with a wonderful view across the green. Really set us up for a very wet return leg to New Yatt!

Myself and my husband arrived at The Cock hungry and thirsty two thirds of our way through our bike ride. We were late for lunch but the chef made us a couple of very hearty honest sandwiches which totally hit the spot. The Cock is a wonderful authentic pub family run without pretention. Coombe is a pretty village and the pub looks across the green. Visit before it's ' discovered'. Julia

After a lovely walk round Blenheim Palace Grounds, The Cock Inn provided the perfect place for a drink and lunch with our friends. Simple but delicious fayre, (very tasty toasties and sweet potato chips in my case), the setting outside overlooking the village green I. This charming village, was just perfect. Highly recommend.

The best toastie I have ever eaten followed by delicious sticky toffee pudding . A wonderful find when walking in the beautiful Oxfordshire country side

Stopped in here whilst on a longer trip. The service was great, and the food was reasonable. For four of us the bill was only £35

A group of 11 of us booked a table inside but sat outside as weather gorgeous. Small menu, we had scampi, chicken and leek pie and lentil curry which were all excellent. Friendly landlords. Not at all busy on a bank holiday. We did a circular walk into Blenheim grounds from the pub. Would definitely recommend!

The pub helpfully accommodated a last minute table booking when everywhere else in Oxfordshire was booked for mothers day. Menu was really good - just enough variety but not so many options as to bamboozle you. All the plates of food I saw coming out looked like great portions, steaming hot and served with a smile. The prices were also really fair - its hard to get a roast for under 15 quid these days and alot of places charge you extra for vegetables and sauces. Not here - 12.50 all in .... and if you wanted to add other courses it was 18 or 22 for 2 or 3 courses respectively. The proper log burner was burning which added to the atmosphere. Its hard to find a pub that's between 'old man boozer' and 'gastropub' these days - the Cock Inn hits the note perfectly. Thank you very much for a lovely visit.

A group of us had a lovely lunch following a walk in the area with Vale and West Oxfordshire Ramblers. Having advised The Cock of our plans the landlord met us before our walk with memus to get an idea of what we would like. Table was ready on arrival at this great tradional country pub. Beer was very well kept too. Will definately look to get here asap.

We found this place by accident when we were driving around Oxfordshire last week.It looked very inviting from the outside and was in a great location, just opposite the village green, and in the heart of a chocolate box village. We were greeted by the owners, who made us feel really welcome, and they had good beers on tap too.I had a half of Dark ale that was like Porter and very delicious. Lovely pub cat called Ziggy, was really friendly and kept us company. The food on offer was not like the usual pub grub- some thought had gone into designing the menu, and it was speedily served, though they were quite busy.We shared the charcuterie meat board, which was very generous, and we only had room to share a warm chocolate brownie! The décor is nice and cosy, and has a great feel to it. Outside there is a seating area with a real grape vine growing, with real grapes! (Thought they were fake at first, but my partner tried one!) I am sure if we are ever in this part of the world again, we would pop in.

Combe is a real 'chocolate box village', complete with a beautiful green which the pub looks out on. A bit strange - and unhelpful - of the staff to give just a landline contact number, then admitting they go out for the whole of Saturday morning. Meant the walk leader being unable to contact them with the number of us walkers needing lunch. However, friendly and helpful once we got in. Modernised enough to give good spacious seating, but with a good bar scene too. Good choice of food to suit various appetites. Bit miffed that they offered pancakes, but hadn't got round to preparing for orders when we arrived soon after they opened. Went for 'plan B', i.e. the cheese and plum chutney sandwiches. Possibly a bit over-priced, especially as the brown bread was very 'bog standard'. However, the chutney made up for it by being delicious. My group had various different lunches and they all looked good.

Stopped for lunch whilst walking. This is a lovely low key village pub - not in Witney at all. The staff and service was good, good range of well kept ales. The three of us mae different meal choices. The food was ok but very over-priced for what it was - "gastro" in price but not quality. Portion size was ok except for the toasted sandwich which seemed a very modest plateful. The one dessert we had was good. Up the quality of the food and/or lower prices and this place could be a real destination. Otherwise, only go for the charming location and beer and crisps!

Overlooking a village green- not in Witney at all! The Cock has many original features and very good beer. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Due to unforeseen circumstances the usual lunch menu was not available. The food we ate was disappointing. I had an over sweetened, sweet potato soup with plastic bread and my husbands panini was ok but nothing to write home about. Just up the game on food and the place will fly.

My significant other, best buddy and myself visited here last weekend for a few drinks and something to eat. We all loved the place. Very well situated, simple and delicious food and a well-tended cellar featuring fine local ales all add up to one of...

Called in for a quick pint on a Sunday and ended up staying for Sunday lunch! Staff were very friendly with good hospitality skills! Very nice selection of local ales, including some superb bottled beers from the next village. Well, after a couple of pints, we had worked up A hunger so stayed and ordered a Sunday lunch. Food was served quickly, very tasty and nicely presented, I followed it with a pudding, I have to say that it was quite possibly the best sticky toffee pudding I've tasted, and believe me you, I eat a lot of sticky toffee pudding!!!!! Well worth a visit and a nice place I will visit again very soon!

Debido a un desafortunado accidente que bloqueado nuestro viaje a Woodstock Kate y tuve que desviarse y encontramos en lo que parecía una encantadora posada del pueblo. No es así. Quizás hubiera sido en el pasado, tal vez será en el futuro, pero no esta el almuerzo. El lugar estaba congelado, así que fue la recepción de la europea chica detrás de la barra. Ella no tenía ni idea de si las comidas estaban sirviendo, tuvo que "alguien de teléfono.tuvimos una comida al final que dejaba mucho que desear. Espero que las cosas han mejorado, ya que estoy seguro de que la gestión están intentando muy difícil de hacer.

Called in with family and had a nice evening meal. Service was good. Beer selection was also very nice My 18 month old daughter enjoyed the soft play area and bouncy castle

Mi novio y yo estuvimos aquí a pie a mediados y quedamos muy contentos con nuestra experiencia.

10 senderistas caminamos al otro lado de la Blenheim Estate y tenía un buen almuerzo en el Cock Inn. El menú de almuerzo incluido sándwiches, una tabla de queso y ensalada griega, así como algunos platos calientes más sustanciales. Tiene un precio muy razonable. Nos nos llamó antes de reservar en nosotros mismos.
