Cock Inn - Sutton Coldfield

Excellent as always we love this place as it never fails to please !,

Overall very good. Didn’t have the two deserts we wanted but that’s a very small thing.

Food & service fine at early sitting-5.30pm

Poor service, indeterminable wait

I was a bit apprehensive when I entered due to the less than positive reviews. I can only assume they were from jealous competitors as their was a good choice on the menu, plus had a vegan menu for my vegan friend. The food didn't take too long to get to us, and was hot and delicious. I found the waiting staff to be friendly, accommodating and efficient. I couldn't fault the service or food at all.

Really good food.
Only issue waiters were not attentive at all unless we called them.

Food ok - enjoyed my pasta dish- my wife enjoyed her venison - mother in law had rib eye steak - found it sinewy and did not enjoy. Service poor - Saturday evening about 2/3 full - no one checked food was ok - I wanted another drink - kept trying to attract waitress/waiter attention but seemed too busy and ignored us. Cost of food a little higher than most comparable restaurants in area. I last went there several years ago and experienced poor service- hence have not returned for a long while - unlikely to go back

Outstanding food, service and ambience

Never had a bad meal here yet

Ok but still doesn't quite have the same atmosphere and level of service we experienced a year or so ago. Place was fairly quiet for Sunday lunch time. Staff very slow. Good service overall little things like of cutlery, napkins, slow drinks service, slow clearing plates - let it down. Table was not the best. By the service area so noisy. Seemed to be lots of staff standing around chatting and very noisy - unappreciative of diners. That may be a bit harsh but service could be improved. We shared a started and were not given plates. The Sunday lunch was service on oblong plates that were far too small and very awkward resulting in food on the table. Why?? I would rate this place OK. Food average. Service average. Ambience - below average. Shame. Used to be great. Needs managing and given some warmth.
