Cock Inn - (Near Barnet, london)

4 /5 Agos Ri: The pub is super nice, the waiters friendly and the food very good. However I must say that the portions are very small for the price. We ordered aubergine lasagna which was delicious, but the size of a starter. We also ordered the fish and chips, and the size of the mushy peas was disgraceful, the ketchup sauce container was bigger.

5 /5 Vincent Hutton: This was my first visit to the Cock Inn and it did not disappoint in any way. The venue and atmosphere were spot on whereby the relaxed vibe made for a delightful dining experience. On my visit I was served by Millie who was polite, attentive and professional throughout; the food was well proportioned and scrumptious to say the least and all those involved made my visit a memorable one. I will definitely be returning for a meal again.

2 /5 Naran McGregor: Popped in here on the 10th September for coffee, and drinks after a meal in Cockfosters. Hadnt visited this pub since before the renovations which must be as long as 10 years ago. Prior to this ld been visiting since the late 70s on a regular basis so had seen it undergo a couple of changes, the last one when it was the Cock and Dragon which had the lovely Thai restaurant at the back and very eclectic pub area. Hadnt heard good things about the most recent reincarnation, but hoped the reviews id heard were wrong. Sadly I was not impressed. None of the cozy corners of the old pub, no atmosphere of a traditional pub, very few people there when we arrived although it did start to get busier just before we left. The decor is more like a hotel restaurant and bar and lacks real personality. The toilets are good though and the place is very clean. My problem though was with the drinks we ordered. I dont think they have much call for coffee, as the cappuccino I ordered came with soured milk. I took it back and they made a fresh coffee without complaint. The gin and tonics that were ordered came with dried fruit, but on finishing the drinks the acrid smell off one of the slices was overwhelming. The other slice was ok. Again I complained about it to the bar staff and they said that it must have been the last of the old batch that they used and proceeded to demonstrate that they had opened another bag of these fruits. They showed me a bag that I noticed had a use by date of 12 September, and the inside of the bag in fairness had the same strong acrid smell. The young serving staff were very polite and dealt with all my complaints. However this is not somewhere I would choose to come back to, nor would the considerably younger members of our group, who found the whole set up rather staid and old fashioned.

5 /5 Gaea D: Had a baby shower for my friend at The Cock Inn, Cockfosters and Im so happy I chose this venue. The staff were extremely helpful from the moment I made the booking to the time we left. The food was lovely and the service was really quick, without compromising on quality. We had a great time and look forward to coming back soon.

5 /5 D.M: The service was friendly and polite. Our food was flaoursome and presentation was professional. Quality and quantity were value for money and location. Pugh was dog friendly and clean, modern and quirky. Onsite parking and garden area. Pub is a hidden treasure away from the main road opposite Trent Park entrance. Will definitely be visiting again.
