Staff not polite. They grabbed our glasses (time was 22:30) without asking if we finished or if we wanted something more. We left annoyed . Meant to be a romantic discussion but ended up. I let them know that felt rushed . Even so apologies...More

A truly delightful evening

We chose Cock o’the North because it has an extensive non -meat menu, and we were not disappointed. We arrived early (entirely out of character) and enjoyed a drink in the garden. As the weather was so warm, we decided to eat outside and our...More

Disappointing meal

The pub has a lovely atmosphere and good service. However my meal wasn’t very nice. I doubt that the dish had been tasted by the chef. I didn’t complain as I didn’t want to spoil my meal with my friends and it was ok.
