| Didn't think this place was that shabby; the interior is quite pleasant. The entrance lobby could do with brightening uo but there's nothing wrong with the bar areas. We had the Sunday roast. One beef, one pork. It was perfectly OK. Pre-prepared and reheated, obviously, but we don't expect freshly cooked gourmet food from a chain pub at £7.20 a head. The Nethergate "Azzaparrot" was excellent and the house red didn't strip the lining off my throat. I know better places to get a Sunday lunch in the area, but you'll pay a good deal more. For what it cost, this was fine Royed - 10 Jan 2010 22:48 |
| Thought I'd drop a quick update about this one as we popped in last week for Sunday lunch. God knows what the "refurbishments" were that led to the pub being closed just before Christmas - inside looks identical. Big space, dark wood durniture and trim leading to the place bordering on the dingy. Some peeling wallpaper and the odd cobweb didn't do much to help either. Drinks behind the bar looked much the same range as before and the food was above average pub grub. All in all, not too bad, but where was the renovation? ps: Nearly forgot. The Cock has always had a huge garden and plenty of outside seating, the focal point being some fairly modern kids play equipment. The garden's still there but the equipment has been removed, leaving some ugly looking holes in the ground and some risky looking stumps of wood and metal instead. Ahhh so perhaps THIS is the renovation. Way to go guys! glenn9ball - 5 Oct 2009 13:41 |
| This has always been a nice little pub, fantastic for a pint in the summer as the garden is massive. Sadly, we popped over for lunch the Sunday before Christmas 2008 and it was CLOSED. Loads of hastily prepared notes in the window (small enough so you have to park up, get out and walk right up) saying that the pub was now owned by Punch Taverns and they had "taken the decision" to close it for refurbishments. There wasn't any refurbishment going on (and the loss or pre Christmas trade could surely have been better timed) but I'll be curious to see what Punch do with what has always been a distinctive landmark in Rochford. Watch this space... glenn9ball - 24 Dec 2008 09:29 |
| I had the misfortune to visit this establishment with my partner last night. We had been there several times before and found the menu varied and interesting and the food good quality and value. Our dissapointment started when we discovered the menu had been changed to the usual bland corporate chain menu style with very poor choice. We both chose the pie (chicken & mushroom) as they we supposed to be specials of the day. Well, I have to say, you could find more chicken in a chip shop pie and the taste was bland to say the least. Only the fact that I was tired and starving made me eat rather than send it back. My partner faired little better. We finished quickly, made our feelings known to the staff and left. It will be a long time before we return. What a shame. stevecollins - 29 Oct 2008 11:06 |
| It was Saturday about 4:30pm. Not many in the pub, but more in the garden. The Abbott was the best I have had for ages and the food, although there was not much choice, was delicious by pub standards. The bar and waiting staff were friendly and helpful, cutlery and sauces brought to table with the food. Well worth a visit. Gore.May - 25 Jun 2007 14:14 |
