Cock Inn - Sutton Coldfield

Very good meal last night and good recommendations .

Service great. Attentive, professional, friendly. Food was well cooked. Menu offered a good range of choices.

Excellent food, excellent wine QED

All aspects of food and dining was excellent, but service was very, very poor.

The fish cakes were amazing

We waited over an hour from being seated to our meal being served.
Two of the drinks that were ordered were unavailable (one being a Mahito)
One meal had to be sent back

Good food

we all enjoyed our meals .all 4 of us agreed that all 3 courses were excellent .the service was also good .we all had the offer of 3 courses for £26 excellent value . I had been impressed when I received a call confirming 2 hours before our booking but upon arrival discovered the restaurant had a private function and that we were sat in the bar area .the bar quickly became very busy and noisey .eventualy things quietened down .surely we could have been advised that the restaurant was out of bounds and so given a chance to change our plans.in the end we enjoyed the night and food but I felt we should have been informed .

Good atmosphere and great food!

We have dined here on many occasions over the years. It's very popular and quite lively. The food though has not lived up to expectations on the last three visits. The menu is a little tired and I think it's ready for a refresh and re invention. It's not that the food is bad but it's just ok. We had the sticky platter starter, the duck was lovely but the flat breads and chicken skewers were pretty awful. I had southern fried chicken for main, which was supposed to be stuffed, it took me a longtime to find the stuffing.... sweet potatoe fries were very greasy. My husband had the crab and prawn linguini, pretty tasteless, the chorizo had been fried on one side and the seafood looked like it had been tipped in from a bag of frozen. He tried to improve it by asking for Parmesan, by the time it came he had finished. He had this dish last week at a restaurant in Birmingham city centre and it was excellent. Overall not an awful experience but not a great one.
