The Cock Tavern "Restaurant" is essentially the upstairs bar of the pub. Can be a little smoky at times depending on the clientele, but with the smoking ban coming into effect in July this will no longer be a problem. The menu offers a full range of potato based starters. You can chose from Chunky Chips, Curly Fries or Potato Wedges. The chips are warm and average for pub chips. The fries are a much better choice and the best from the selection of starters on offer. The main courses are varied, as long as you like chips and salad. The double burger and chips is filling with particularly good white buns. The chicken Kiev which is the signature dish is tender and succulent and has a particularly nice batter. Staff are friendly and can provide bottles of ketchup and bowls of mayonnaise on demand to accompany your meal. No deserts offered as yet, may I suggest another round of chips if you're still hungry? The wine list is varied, with a choice of white (medium and dry), the newly added rose and of course, red. Price wise it is very good, with the main meals reviewed here costing about six pounds each.
