The Black Cock Inn

Quaint old Pub with Log fire in beamed lounge, Excellent Manager (sorry forgot your name)who went out of her way to make us welcome and made us feel like one of the family. The Food was Superb and was inexpensive

I was so upset by the treatment we received here. I booked a table for 5 people and the day we planned to go my little Granddaughter decided to join us. As she is only 6 I thought it would probably be fine as we could all squash up to fit her in. When we arrived the waitress was very rude and pointed to the table and said no way you can all sit there. The table was more than big enough. We could have fitted 3 more grandchildren in. I told her so and we sat down with plenty of room. Why did she need to be so contrary. Shouldn't staff try their best to accommodate customers. What's happened to polite and courteous attention? We will never go back.

At long last, after two postponed booking had a brill three night stay. Hayley most helpful, rooms very comfortable, food as always top notch. Some lovely ales on , daughter lives nearby therefore didn’t need breakfast but it looked very appetising. Definitely recommended 👍

After 8 hours in traffic jams we received a warm and calming welcome. We’d booked for dinner but we’re stressed that we were late. The owner was very understanding and we had a really excellent and surprisingly sophisticated meal with the guest real ale. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was extremely hearty. So much so that we really weren’t hungry for the rest of the day. The waitress/cook could not have been friendlier. Overall I’d certainly stay again. They are clearly struggling for staff but if you can be patient it is well worth it.

We booked a mid week lunch with our family of 4 plus our grandson and 3 dogs. Fantastic welcome. Huge table with lots of room for the dogs to sprawl about. Amazing food. Pigeon Breast. Slow cooked Lamb. Cod and Chips and Venison loin. All perfectly cooked and wonderfully presented. Great beer. No flies !

Booking is essential as the dedicated chef wants to individualise each dish. We tried the duck burger (minus the roll) and the game pie both were great. Owing to the age of the building the none front facing areas (not the dining areas) could do with a refurb.
