The Cock Inn, Rochford

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.
