The Weathercock in Milton Keynes

Attended a party at the Weathercock. The food was beautiful, laid out professionally and a good variety. Staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place as a venue.

Attended the Halloween kids party Friday. 1/11 Was blown away by Andrea and her team the decorations were amazing and the interactive show was absolutely fantastic. So glad there’s a local pub that caters for people with kids. Congratulations to all involved

Not LGBT+ friendly. Walked in for dinner, some sort of bingo event going on, had ‘lesbians’ shouted at us. Stayed for a second, and pub staff didn’t act upon it as they should have. Walked out soon after. Avoid!

Very disappointing. 4 real ale pumps and not one of them was 'on'. Unless you want a pint of overpriced Neck Oil, go somewhere else. The Station Hotel is nearby and normally has a couple of ales to offer.

We found this pub by chance. It was nice weather so we chose to sit in the garden. All COVID precautions were offered. The food was absolutely lovely. The burger was very tasty, meaty & cooked perfectly. The triple cooked chips were heavenly. My partner’s scampi were plentiful & tasty also. The staff were very helpful and friendly. A lovely place for an impromptu meal.

We often pop in for a drink and have discussed having a meal on many occasions since the pub gardens re opened in March. Today we decided to have the Monkfish and Barnsley chop. Wow! Absolutely amazing . Service is always great and we always feel very welcome. X

Richard the Manager, always makes us very welcome. The staff are always happy to help. We love going out for lunch or dinner and always end up at the Weather cock inn, Woburn Sands. The food is cooked perfectly, by the friendly chef, and we love to have a few drinks here too. The atmosphere is good and it seems to attract all ages.

This is the second time we have visited and the food has been consistently excellent. Great choice from typical pub fayre to monkfish. Starters calamari and chorizo, belly pork, ham hock and prawn cocktail were all beautifully presented and tasted superb. Mains included fish and chips, tuna, monkfish, huge unusual salad bowls if your being good! We managed to have a couple of dark chocolate brownies with ice cream to finish. The pub sits in the middle of the village and has a good outdoor seating area so plenty of space. The service was attentive and the manager makes you feel welcome. This is significantly better food than some of the better know ‘foodie’ establishments in the area so well worth a visit. You won’t be disappointed.

Bread and olives to start were fab. Lovely Sunday lunch, crispy roast potatoes, plenty of meat. Great service, will be back.

Purely by chance we drove into the car park where we were warmly greeted and offered the choice of sitting inside or outside. We chose inside and we were very impressed by the decor which had clearly been recently upgraded. We chose a table in the window where we had a drink while looking at the menu which was varied along with a specials board. We had a risotto and a chicken dish which were both delicious. The staff were very friendly, efficient and professional and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and we would highly recommend this pub.

Amazing food. Staff are beyond helpful and sooo nice. Went in there after going to woburn safari park with the family. Was genuinely soo nice and friendly. Food was insane tbh. They catered for my gluten free needs.

We had a lovely meal at the pub today sItting outside with family. Richard and the team where exceptional and attentive with a good choice of red wine as recommended. The food was super, well presented and very tasty.. well done Will be back

Booked a table for 2 for drinks obviously expecting to sit inside now Covid restrictions allow. But when we got there, they made us sit outside! It was cold, windy and raining. They did not tell us on the phone when booking or we would have booked elsewhere! Ridiculous!

Just had Sunday lunch with family, great service, great food, so pleased to have this within walking distance from home. I had the Barnsley chop, crispy on the outside, pink in the middle👍 not as easy as you might think, will be my go to meal when we return. Excellent all round.

We were really looking forward to going out , but this was really disappointing. Service really poor took ages to get the menus and to order , food arrived quickly. Was sadly really under seasoned and burgers were served with a bap bun not a brioche bun as stated on the menu. Was not offered water which is normally standard . No one checked the food was OK , hospitality standard really weak. Strange none of the staff were wearing masks but in most other restaurants staff are wearing masks. Had big hopes - so disappointing , we wanted it to be great.

Lovely meal and great staff done a lovely birthday dessert for my sister. would highly recommend. Thank you for a great evening.

visted yesterday for a family sunday lunch. The menu was spot on, not toouch but definitely enough to make you want to order 2 starters (infact one at our table did). Outstanding service in these times, and newly refurbished to a very high standard. A great atmosphere as well where we were made to feel very welcome also by regulars in eating aswell.

Sunday lunch was spectacular! The service was second to none. The food absolutely sublime. It's the very best in the area! Well done Warren and the team. You have bought great food back to Woburn Sands.

Breakfast was excellent and good value for money. Pub is very nice and clean. Definitely a good place to visit.

Sunday lunch, very few people in, until about 1.45....then dining room filled up. The choice was pork, beef or lamb. Portions almost too big, but well cooked and great value.

Host greatest with a smile. Took advantage of their Monday special, 2 courses for under £15. Would like to say food was well presented no complaints at all, high praise as my husband has been a chef for the best of 40 year and he agreed with me. If we visit this area again this pub will a must

Me & my younger brother stopped here to get lunch & a break on route to another destination. The gent that served us was super super polite, attentive & helpful & the food was outstanding. I am allergic to Gluten so need special care when ordering & the gent serving understood my allergy requirements perfectly> we had Steak which was cooked to absolute perfection & a Shepard's pie which my little brother repeatedly said was 'this is the best pie Iv ever eaten' (he is a nightmare fussy eater) & finished everything in front of him & then proceeded to pass out in the car with food coma. Would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. Great Food & Awesome service

I've just logged on and clicked 'write a review' only to see that I had already started one - but never posted it, thankfully. That was from 3-4 years ago.I'm happy to say that since I last visited and began writing that review, Jade and Darren have taken over and really turned this place around. The previous management 'specialised' in an 'American dining experience', but the burgers (pretty much all they did) were lacklustre and the range of drinks on offer was limited to say the least.What a difference! Now if you visit you will find a warm welcome, a friendly atmosphere and great food with a excellent selection of drinks. The pub has a lovely feel to it now, and I'm happy to see the car park is very rarely empty when we drive past (I know, we should stop more often). Long may it continue, it's really great to see people who care making a real success of it.Pop in, you won't regret it.

Beef stroganoff, I could have eaten again, so tasty in a rich sauce. Nom nom. Mississippi mud pie was gorgeous. Thoroughly enjoy the food. Serve fast too.

Run by people who cant do enough for you and have made the effort to make this a great family friendly pub with nice food and very friendly and helpful staff. Great value.

We have eaten here twice now and it has been brilliant both times. We will be going again very soon. I'm really surprised more people don't know about this place as it's go so much going for it and it's family owned, has a fantastic gin bar, serves great food and has a Thai day twice a week which was lovely.Whats not to like.

We were a party of 11 celebrating my mums 80th birthday - the food was very tasty and arrived quickly. It was the lovely staff that made our visit so good - they made us all feel very welcome and made my mum feel very special! Will definitely return!!

Great atmosphere and amazing food would definitely recommend to anyone 100% friendly bar staff always smiling

Food absolutely phenomenal! Service was spectacular and price of food absolutely fantastic, thank you for making a family meal utterly enjoyable, see you again very soon!

Having lived in locally for over 12 years, this was only our second visit to this pub. The first time, around 10 years ago, was very disappointing. What a difference new management makes. People and dog-friendly, with the latter allowed to sit anywhere. The meals, a chicken balti and lamb rogan josh, were fantastic and amazing value. We left so excited that we had found somewhere within walking distance which was so good in every way.

This was the first time we had been to the Weathercock, as we were looking for somewhere local to go for an evening meal, so thought we would try this Pub after reading some reviews here.

Lovely, clean and friendly Pub.... nice decor, good choice of drinks. Beer garden - nice outside space. Good size car park

Lovely food Lovely staff Lovely ambiance #deffoworthavisit 👍🏼 Last minute booking and not disappointed, newly refurbished with a great menu !

Loved the service and the extra touches for making the meal an enjoyable experience with Gluten Free Food for the one in the party of 7. All the meals were First Class.

Great find on our travels. Friendly, helpful staff and really good food at great price! Parking on site and nice clean pub and loos!!

What an evening we had. Celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary. From start to finish it was fabulous. Food was faultless, service fantastic and atmosphere delightful. We were even surprised at the end with a medley of desserts as a surprise (they had picked up on being tagged on facebook and realised it was our anniversary).

It was Turkish night, food was fantastic, staff really friendly, we will definitely be back. Thank you Darren

Had a fantastic meal again on Father’s Day, the prawns in garlic were brilliant the garlic soaked bread !!! Then the roast dinner was as good as it gets the vegetables were great but the gravy was as good as I’ve ever had ! Great bottle of Chardonnay from the new wine list, which is great value ! See you all soon

Father's day Sunday lunch. Great family atmosphere, superb service, good beer and excellent food at reasonable prices. Sunday roast was full on! Staff were attentive and friendly with nothing too much trouble.

This is our local pub, popped in for Thursday night Pizza & Pasta night. The food was amazing, beautiful beef and garlic Bolognese - (Italian style) served with Garlic bread and a wonderful side salad, with excellent salad dressing that was defiantly homemade. Gourmet food at a fabulous price - less than £20 for 2. Have also had Sunday Lunch and a breakfast there recently - again top quality and value for money. Highly recommend - the staff are friendly, the food is wonderful and good value. With food like this the pub should be packed. Highly recommend not just for a special occasion but ideal for a week night treat when you do not want to cook.

This Tradition Pub is fantastic, Customers and staff are very Friendly it is a real English Pub Great food nicely cooked to your taste and Service is Excellent. Parking is usually ok in their own car park.

my partner is a regular but i dont visit very often , we had sunday lunch in there today and it was lovely, best sunday lunch i have had in a restaurant, loved everything and the best gravy. sticky toffee pudding was yum to. i shall visit more often. friendly and welcoming staff to. thank you.

Food is banging, me and my friend had the nicest burger (credits to the chef ‍) Staff are lovely, very friendly and welcoming would recommend 10000%

Went to The Weathercock Inn tonight after reading a post on the local facebook page. Starter was great and I had one of the best steak fillets I’ve had for a long time. It was very reasonably priced. I was spoiled for choice of what gin to have. 90+ Gins to choose from.

The restaurant has been revamped and is lovely with a new chef who is excellent - food presentation is top class really enjoyed our visit can't believe how much the place has changed for the better definitely going back again!

A business meeting over lunch and we could not find a better place, great service with a smile, great lunch time menu, not over the top, just what you would want and the presentation was excellent. Very tasty, nothing was a problem.

Went as a group of ten today for the first time , made to feel very welcome , great service and the food was lovely with good portion size , we will be back.

We have been in Woburn Sands staying with family for the Easter break. During our stay we have had one evening meal and two breakfasts here, as well as drinks. It’s a great friendly pub. The staff are lovely and welcoming. The food has been fantastic on all occasions. We have a 9 week old baby and they have been very accommodating of the pram, moving tables to make space for us. Can’t recommend enough. We will be back when we next come to visit our family.

Lush food with decent portions for both adults and children, decent prices as well. Whole family felt welcome :)

Lovely food with great presentation. Shame some of the already limited menu was not available but what we had was delicious. Place could do with a bit of TLC but think this is being addressed gradually. Personal contact with Darren the manager was a nice touch and good customer service. We would be happy to go here again for excellent food at reasonable prices. And did I mention the 70+ gin menu!!

8 of us Sat down for Sunday Lunch and we were treated to an excellent experience starting with the service and ending in 8 clean plates after a quality Sunday Lunch. We will certainly be returning.

I can honestly say that this was the best dining experience that we've had in the 15 years that we have lived in this area. The Weathercock team pulled out all the stops to make this 5 course meal a fine dining experience.

Popped in for Breakfast... Made welcome straight away.... nice cuppa Recieved & Breakfast Menu ... Ordered full breakfast x 2 .. 2 Pots of Tea .. Toast & Fried Bread Excellent Service... Call in and Give it A TRY..

Food and service is second to none! Best pub/restaurant in the area by a long way! Don’t take my word for it. Try it. You’ll be glad that you did.

Just on way home from Frosts Garden Centre and spotted The Weather Cock. It looked inviting from the outside and it was certainly inviting on the inside, the Sunday lunch took no time to come and was piping hot and delicious. The staff were really friendly and we would definitely visit this delightful pub again.

Highly recommended! Plenty of everything, hot and fresh, and a great Breakfast menu to choose from. Excellent value too. Served 8.30am until 11am 7 days a week.

Had a great relaxed Sunday lunch as a last minute decision the Roast Beef was fantastic quality and nice & pink great vegetable selection & I love the side dish of cauliflower cheese which is included. Among our small group I think we had a selection of all three roasts available & a Veggie Roast the chicken looked fantastic. Had a decent value bottle of wine and some drinks with a selection of starters and two Chocolate Brownies for under £100 such good value for that quality. See you soon.

not been in for a while but the pub has had a fabulous makeover but biggest plus is the top notch home cooked quality of the fare.Clearly new chefs-my pal had a fish pie and was drooling over it and my fillet steak perfectly cooked and a proper salad accompaniment-no curly lettuce or that purple stuff-just crisp,fresh,cruchy salad and a nice peppercorn sauce.the rioja was eminenently quaffable and the price was nowhere near what one would pay elsewhere locally for comparable serving.served by a friendly and efficent young lady called Star.well done new guys! be back soon

Had a fantastic meal the other night cooked by Glenn the new chef, I know his food of Old when he had spent a number of years at “Galloway’s “ in the past. So it was great to get the salad with the super old salad dressing I remember & the fillet steak with that wonderful pepper sauce. The place is a pub the food now punches well above its weight and fantastic value. The chicken satay starter was also fantastic! See you soon !

After purposely avoiding this pub for 2 years me and some friends decided to give it a go again after hearing it had changed hands. What a mistake. We entered and bought some pints, all the while being stared at. We decided to sit out the front for a little while but then decided to walk around the back to take a seat, as soon as we entered the garden we were greeted with a "erm, did you get those pints from this pub boys?" , i guess because we're in our mid-twenties we don't deserve any polite formalities..anyway, we uncomfortably sat down and quickly drank our beers and left. Thankfully this experience reminded us why we haven't been here in 2 years and won't be coming back anytime soon

We live locally and have given the Weathercock a swerve owing to its local pub for local people ethos. Last time we were in last year there was a terrible disco that resembled some dystopian nightmare.

Had a great evening at this pub. Was in a large party and had a wide selection of the food. Loved the halloumi fries! Have made a start working my way through their extensive gin list. Excellent value for money nice setting and the staff are welcoming friendly and knowledgeable about the gins. Will definitely go back soon.

Service was friendly and polite. Food was excellent and just the right amount. Very impressive gin bar.

Five stars for the enthusiasm and effort in trying a new venture. Everybody seems so friendly and welcoming in this family run pub, staff and regulars alike. Had a good roast, beef and beer were good. Looking forward to the summer bbq!

Lovely relaxed lunchtime drink in a lovely pub and location - despite the weather. Manager/staff very welcoming as were the locals. Good choice of beers and extensive food menu. Would highly recommend and will revisit very soon.

Went to this pub to see the band playing with some friends, two people behind bar with no people skills whatsoever, was very busy inside and out due to the band playing, good crowd in there and we all loved the music, had a few dances and a few drinks ( we would have drank more but the staff were too busy looking the opposite way when we were waiting to be served) PLEASE.....get some decent bar staff who have customer service skills and we will return when the band is on again.

Después de leer una crítica muy buena en mi local MK Pulso Mag, estábamos interesados en probar el menú

we had a lovely lunch. we all enjoyed it very much. We had no complaints at all with our food, even my cousin who's a little fussy. We had an amazing dessert too.

He vivido en la zona durante muchos años y han visitado este establecimiento en decenas de ocasiones, tanto para la comida y para emborracharse. A juzgar por la mezcla de comentarios me pareció que precedente para proporcionar una crítica justa y exacta de la Weathercock.

I've not been to the Weathercock for a few years but heard it was now under new management so thought I would check it out and I'm pleased I did. Family run, excellent service. Did not get to try the food as I had just eaten but menu looks amazing so will be back to try it soon.

Came in with my husband and 2 young daughters, being vegetarian I was very pleased to see so many vegi options available. The meals were lovely and the staff were great with the kids. We will be going back again!

My family and I are here a few nights ago, all staff were very attentive and welcoming. The food was delicious I would recommend the peanut butter burger.

This pub feels like something you might find in "The Walking Dead" . No atmosphere,grumpy staff and unwelcoming locals. Woburn sands has better to offer.

This has always been one of our favourite places for Sunday Roast but unfortunately the menu has been changed and...

Tuve un muy buen pollo Hamburguesa con salsa de aguacate, Queso, mayonesa, ensalada y un Brioche Bun en, era delicioso y bien presentado con una orden de deliciosa, crujiente lado patatas dulces fritas. El servicio era excelente y el servicio de comida a pesar de que había terminado la noche todavía preparado para mí. Le recomendaría probar el Weathercock. Buena comida a un precio razonable. Menú de bar-pub y un menú de hamburguesas gourmet.

New management in place, running a reduced menu at the moment but soon to be expanded out. We had the classic and chicken burgers, both well cooked as juicy and nicely presented. Good value and lovely service.Looking forward to going back and trying the expanded menu.

We waited 15 minutes for our coffee to be served. We were a group of 7 British and 2 Spanish people and we were told to leave as they had voted Brexit and didn't want foreigners there. Rarified atmosphere felt by both Brits and Spanish members of our group. Won't be coming back and I'll be sure to spread the word amongst my European friends.

Dropped in on Saturday for lunch. Just ordered some sandwiches and chips. When sandwiches came the bread was cut very thickly and was really dry, so much so that I couldn't eat any of it and my husband left half of his. It was a shame as the filling in both was pretty good. When the young waiter asked if everything was ok we pointed out that the bread was inedible - we didn't even get a sorry, just " I'll tell the chef". Presumably the chef didn't care as we heard no more. When we went to pay we thought they might take a bit off the bill but instead they tried to overcharge us charging £2.95 for a bowl of chips rather that the "add chips for just £1.50" price. Again no apology from the waiter - he said he wasn't responsible for the pricing policy! My advice - sort out the bread supplier and give the waiting staff some customer service training. Until then we will not be going back.

I recomend this pub as the food was lovely.... The service was great and the garden is amazing for a family!.... I will defo be going back!....

Myself and a friend visited last week after looking at the website hoping for the kind of food you see on 'Man v Food' which it shows on the site. When we approached the bar the first thing we witnessed was a customer very unhappy with the beer, something to do with it being first off the barrel or last.. not sure which; didnt think anything of it at the time but what I did notice was the young waitress in a complete fluster over it. The same waitress took our drink order and gave me my glass of wine held by the rim. I hate that as I have to drink from it. ONE choice of Red only which I felt was very unusual. The menu selection isn't too overwhelming bearing in mind we are not expecting a gastro pub style one. We sat down and a woman approached us and asked if we were ready to order and we only then realised she was staff. The staff are not dressed smartly, wear name badges (not a big issue but...) nor give attention to a uniform which seems to be jeans and a checked shirt but other than that anything goes, including long hair not tied back which I don't think is appropriate when serving food. We needed a few minutes but then both waitresses proceeded to then visit us alternatively every 2 minutes over the course of the next 10 which showed a lack of communication between staff and is annoying when you are trying to have a conversation and decide. I believe ONE waitress at your table is best.STAFF - Decide on a uniform and smarten up. Also know your product as you couldn't provide answers to some of the questions we had and that doesn't look good. Blaming it on 'a cold' and that you 'couldn't hear' us was also not a great, nor professional save. FOOD - Does not look anything like the photos on the website. Some of the photos shown is of food not part of the menu at all. Ribs were very dry and I couldn't eat (nor wanted to) all of them as they were too hard to put a knife and fork through and were too chewy to bit through so I left them. just a small dribble of sauce. Sweet potato fries were tossed all over the plate and the whole presentation was very untidy and were over cooked and dry. ADDITIONAL SAUCES in pots had skin on the top so had been sitting for a while! We decided to try the deserts as they looked awesome in the photos. Deep Fried Oreos are fantastic but lets face it... we can do these at home. Maybe make your OWN New York Vanilla Ice Cream to go with them? The Cookie & Marshmallows desert my friend had was a bit of a mess (Sorry!). TO SUM UP - I really liked the concept of this diner style idea but its not working. This is also a 'locals' PUB and we felt a bit out of place, especially when the music (which was disorganised, kept stopping and starting again and sounded like a rehearsal) which was way too loud started playing. So very disappointed and will DEFINITELY NOT visit again.

There really is something drastic missing here on every level.The place just feels a little grotty, chairs are uncomfortable and tables are old.The food isn't good either we had some ribs and they were completely tasteless and dry, heated and a bit of rank bbq sauce poured over, same goes for the chicken wings, not marinated and covered in the same horrible bbq sauce. There seems to be a complete lack of effort.Service isn't great as it's the bar people who are expected to serve you food also.Have tried this place twice now, I won't be trying a third that's for sure.

Loved the food here early last year. My fave meal was the "birds nest" which is now off the menu :( Went for a meal at xmas and was awful.... We all got a handful of chips each thrown on the plate with tasteless pulled pork, burnt ribs and funky tasting sauerkraut on my hotdog.... Tried here again in April, had the seafood bucket and the calomari were like rubber bands, didn't get all 'cod pieces' that were promised and 3/4 of the bucket was filled of chips which isn't specified on the menu, lead to believe it would all b seafood. The kids menu options r terrible too

Fantastic roast lunch with fresh vegetables. We both had beef which was thick cut slices Its making my mouth water thinking about it .We will deffo be back!

One young lady trying to cope on her own to run bar and restaurant. Had Sunday lunch. Pork was served with huge rim of thick fat which when removed filled a bowl. Beef was ok and came with Yorkshire. Had to ask for Yorkshire with pork which said was included on menu. Crackling was chewy and inedible. Very strange gravy which was sweet and tasted of apples even with the beef. No sauces like horseradish or apple sauce offered. Ordered a drink before food was ordered and finally got it as finished meal. Really feel they should stick to American menu and leave roast lunch to those who know what they are doing. Gave two stars only because of the lovely young lady who really did her best to keep us happy. She was a gem.

We have visited this pub and enjoyed the American diner style food on a few occasions over the last 3 years and so were deeply disappointed to find that it had fallen so far from our previous experiences. The menu remains the same but the food certainly is not. Presentation of the dishes was smart and styled to fit the American theme but tonight it looked like it had been thrown at the plate in the hope that some would stick. There were only 2 sets of diners eating tonight (a Saturday) and it was easy to see why. The other couple waited 40 minutes for their pasta before reminding the waitress of their order. Their drinks were then added to our bill. Dessert, which had been highlight of previous visits, seemed to have been thrown together from items bought from a low rent version of Costco. I suspect that the management has changed since our last visit and suggest that it needs to change again.

I took my mum here for Mothers day.We were very impressed with the speedy service and the food was delicious (the Chilli con carni is to die for! ) we'll definitely be returning in the near future

I'm a regular at The Weathercock and sometimes I book and sometimes turn up on spec and on each occasion, I've been very pleased with the level of service. Staff are friendly & courteous & aren't fazed by my bringing in more than 5 mates. I adore the food. I eat at a lot of pubs in MK & nowhere do you get this much food for your money! I always have to ask for a doggy bag as the portion sizes are so generous. The burgers are massive, ribs are finger-lickin' good, the jumbo dogs are just that - JUMBO & the mac & cheese is better than my Mum's! I also like the fact that there are always some sort of specials on like 2-4-1's or scrummy Sunday roasts for £7.95. I & my friends eat here most weeks & my doggie will continue to be happy!

Great service and food. Stunning location and interior. Definately return. The staff were so attentive.

Went today as was in area. People had recommended it. Bar staff were very accomodating and the food was great. Great american style food and reasonable in price. Will be back to sample the burgers for sure ☺

Haven't been to the Weathercock for a few years, but attended a birthday party there whilst a swing band were playing.What a fabulous atmosphere and the food was excellent.Will definitely be back.

We decided to come here for mothers day 10 of us and to be fair it wasn't too bad.Service was a bit slow and haphazard at times, but the portion sizes were fabulous to a point of too much the roasts were amazing (that's not a complaint). All the food was cooked well.Decent American inspired menu as well.When it came to dessert there were a few problems. It says on the menu chocolate brownie with peanut butter ice cream but that was missing. One of us asked for rocky road, after 10 min it appeared, a sticky toffee pudding surrounded by mini marshmallows and topped with chocolate sauce....that's not rocky road in any form, others asked for ice cream and a vanilla shake, shake came and after asking one of the ice creams, the other apparently was put in the shake? No they're separate items on your menu!Now had you not had any rocky road then please say so especially when you have a pastry chef sat eating at the table (or anyone for that matter) it's not a problem we all run out of stuff but to try and fob us off with that horrible creation was why you i have given you a 3 rather than a 5.Bit more attention it'll be fab and i will be back because what i did have was pretty good.

10 of us went for my sons birthday meal send I have to say it was very,very nice. The waitresses were attentive but not overpowering. The service was on the slow side but they had a 21st birthday party in the pub so no worries and we were not in a hurry anyway. The portions were large and delicious. The lamb fell off the bone. Hot dogs were massive. Maple glazed carrots were excellent. Mash potatoes were creamy and smooth. A very good night out.

Saw a picture of some of the food on Facebook and decided to try it and so glad that we did. The portions are huge and really tasty. Get there early as this pub isn't very big.

Visited last night as a group of 6. Pub was very busy and noisy with locals drinking. Dogs allowed in the bar which may cause a few issues with people eating who are dog adverse which we are not. Was offered to move table to avoid the raucous laughter from the bar area. Service is incredibly SLOW both at the bar and ordering food. 2 young girls seem to run front of house and were not able to cope. I used to own a pub, so know the routine. One of the locals had to tell the girl behind the bar that we were waiting for a drink! Took 45 mins for the food to arrive - we had been told 30 mins as hubby decided to try the Grub Burger (worms and grasshoppers). Burgers were great although the cheese on the Black and Blue was miniscule. Chips were not pleasant. Waited 15 mins for some tomato ketchup - vinegar didn't arrive. Desserts are amazing & a struggle after the burger. Glasses not collected from tables due to lack of time. Would I visit again???? Only if I could call ahead and pre order to avoid a long wait (3 hours for 2 courses)

Having been a regular and been happy with the last three visits - I decided to book here for my birthday. It being a special birthday - I emailed the venue via Facebook to book and discuss dietary requirements.I prebooked my meal several days before hand.When I arrived - the table was reserved and the female waitress mentioned my ordered meal.There was a new waiter who was learning the ropes and we were happy for him to be serving us, with a shadow to supervise.Starters came out in good time and we're all great.The mains took quite a while to come out... At the time we were the only table being served food.Mains began coming out but mine was nowhere to be found....One steak came out had been ordered medium rare and came out rare.One Burger came out overdone, slightly burnt.The steak sandwich was not cooked to order.The chips are usually lovely but these were anaemic and some were hard.The hotdog was good and pulled pork is nice here.When I asked about mine - I was told it would be a minute.Considering it had been prebooked - I wondered why there was a delay.Ten mins later- other guests had almost finished their mains and I was served mine.I had ordered the Dr Pepper stew and it was nuked in a microwave. Oil floating on the top of a runny stew. The mash potato was completely dry. The beef was like leather and I called the waitress over to say I could not eat this poor excuse of a meal.By this point I was not impressed and was asked if I wanted something else.the only the I could have which should have been quick - was salad.I ordered but this chicken salad took a further ten minutes to come out by which time I was ready to leave. I ate the chicken out of the salad but left the rest.There was no check back on the mains.The waiter had left without informing us and there were a group of men hollering into the kitchen to be served drinks.The restaurant knew well in advanced a table of 8 was booked yet didn't staff the restaurant or bar accordingly.I wasn't given an apology nor explanation on what had happened with my main (until we were leaving - they had omitted the order from the till) Some guests ordered desserts which came out and were nice.The current 2 for 1 main offer isn't clear as when the bill arrived some things weren't taken off AND they had the cheek to charge me for the salad I didn't want.I got my guests to pay their share of the bill and let my husband take up the issues with the waitress who had absolutely no customer service skills or empathy for the rubbish experience and food I had encountered.The manager came down from upstairs to discuss the issue with my husband and was empathetic. She didn't seem surprised that we had a bad experience and suggested she knew she had bad staff.She said there were notes in diary about my meal and the table should have been set up as a birthday with decorations. This wasn't done.If the owner knows the staff are underperforming - why would she not check things were going ok? She was only upstairs so no excuse for not setting things up or checking the staff were doing ok.I received no apology from her directly.The establishment knew I was a regular and it was a special birthday meal out yet failed from the kitchen, service and management.This place can be either great or terrible.It is a gamble to go here and I wouldn't recommend any special outings here.

Well, we (Husband, Mother and I) went for Sunday Lunch yesterday (24.01.16) and despite booking a table last minute they were very accommodating; even when (more last minute) we changed from 2 diners to 3. Turns out the reason they were able to be so accommodating was that we were the only people eating there. Which was a shame, because it's lovely.We arrived at precisely 12.00 (because I am far too punctual for my own good) and immediately they started off on the right foot; because Mother is disabled (caliper and crutches) one of the staff rushed out and opened the fire doors so Mother would have less of a step to negotiate in getting in. Nice touch, well done.Now I haven't been in this particular establishment for about 10 years, when it was painted inside (and out) a garish mix of puce, pink and red. What a change! Money has been well spent on a refurbishment; quirky (if you know where to look - like the preserving jar lampshades) and tastefully done.We took our seats and perused the menu. After about 5 or 6 minutes the waiter came by for our drinks order; and we began to decide what we wanted to eat.The menu is extensive and comprehensive with something to suit all tastes, including Dr Pepper marinated steak!Having made out choice and placed the order it was a further 10 minutes before the starters arrived. Now some of you might consider this a long time, since we were the only diners but, as my Husband quite rightly said, the longer it takes for the food to arrive the less chance it is that it's microwaved. How right he was.We all shared onion rings and mozzarella sticks; thankfully because the portions are HUGE and they were very tasty and very well presented.The staff made sure everything was OK but were in no way obtrusive; once the starters were finished the plates were cleared in a timely fashion and it was a further 10 minutes before the main courses arrived.These were plentiful and tasty; even my request for "heavy on the Jalapeños" was honoured. It was clear everything was hand cooked; the chips were chunky and made from scratch; as was the burger (doubly huge) and the blue cheese macaroni that Mother and Husband had.In short; the service was a little slow but the food was worth the wait. I can't speak to what the place is like in the evening; the atmosphere may be a little different - let us not forget it is also a local 'boozer' but of a Sunday Lunchtime I can heartily recommend it.

Great food and really nice friendly staff, we went with the whole family and friends and spent time in the dungeon in the back room, great atmosphere, massive food portions

1st visit to the weathercock , not dissapointed. Good choice of food very friendly staff , was recommended the burger , we had 1 each I had brie , bacon & cranberry, my partner had blue cheese & mushroom , 3 choices of chips , very good quality , but difficult to finish 8 oz is a lot of burger . Can recommend.

This was the first evening we'd eaten here and I have to say the staff were attentive, the food was delicious with a good size portion on your plate and we didnt have to wait long for our food. We'll definitely be returning in the near future.

First time but wife had lunch a couple of weeks ago.My wife had lunch with a friend a couple of weeks ago,and loved it.It was my sons 15th so decided to go to the weathercock,they were understaffed which i thought was abit unsuall being 10 days before xmas.Asked for 1 portion of chips got one on all plates.Also waited over an hour for are food,and not quite the standard that my wife and her friend had experienced when they came for lunch.You obviously can not cater when you are very busy..Will not be visiting again.
