Cock, Broomback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Although this is a Greene King house (normally I wouldn't be seen dead in a GK pub!) the beer is well kept and so is relatively palatable compared to GK I have drunk elsewhere. Beer is served straight from the barrel in the cellar and if you want some privacy the pub's selection of small partitioned rooms (some with only two tables in) allows good conversation to be had. Features one of the few skittles alleys still remaining in the area. Only negative point was that when we were there the locals were getting pretty rowdy which detracted somewhat from our enjoyment of the place, but other than that, it's ok.

Proving that you don't need that new-fangled invention the bar, The Cock is a real throwback to the days when everything came straight from the cask! Serve a decent pint of GK (as perviously noted this can be a challenge).
Worth seeking out !

Still unchanged from earlier reviews. This is a bit of a time-warp pub with several small rooms, including a skittles room. Beer is still served straight from the cellar, and the Green King IPA was excellent (and I'm not usually a fan). The Sunday lunch was generous and nice enough, although nothing special. The beer's the thing here.

Nice unspoilt pub with small rooms (including a skittles/games room) rather than one big bar, in fact no bar at all as beers served straight from the cellar. Nice pint of Abbot, only wish I could have stayed for more!

Had the most delicious roast here on Sunday, washed down by that most suspect of real ales, Greene King IPA. I'm happy to report that it was one of the best drops of GK I’ve ever tasted, especially as it was gravity dispensed rather than having the flavour strained out of it through a swan neck which seems prevalent throughout this brewer's houses.
Delightful countryside and only a short drive away from the A1, the Cock has much to crow about.

Very unusual pub. i.e it has no bar, all drinks are fetched from a cellar. Nice experience, really lovely beer garden, very small place overall.

Nice beer garden, quite cheap for drinks, in a secluded area
|
A small traditional pub, no bar drinks are served from the cellar. Well worth finding unless you want 15 types of alcopop. No machines little noise apart from the crash of Northampton Skittles.
