Hearing good things about The Cock, we decided to try it for an early evening meal. A quick phone call established that children were welcome (with the proviso of no highchairs) and that food is served from 6pm. On arrival with our toddler the greeting was polite, rather than friendly, and after some rifling through the reservations book we were offered a table that had to be vacated by 7.30pm.
We ordered from the 'grills' section of the a la carte menu. A Cajun chicken sandwich with nicely dressed salad and freshly made chunky chips was let down by being served on dry, thickly cut bread (a slice or two of tomato would have worked wonders). The homemade 8oz burger with extra toppings was better. Things improved with dessert - particularly the green tea, honeycomb and lavender ice creams. By the time we finished, the service had got much friendlier too. We liked The Cock but not so much that we'll be choosing it over our other favourite local pubs. [Apr 09]
