Nestled away close to the M1 junction 36, this local and down to earth, family-friendly and dog-friendly pub has a fabulous food menu on offer including traditional Indian curries, Lava Stone-cooked steaks, classic pub meals and they even occasionally have a Fish & Chip van serving outside.

BIGGEST BHAJI IVE EVER SEEN! On our first visit to The Cock Inn, we had to try their Bhaji that id seen on Facebook before, it was huge, bigger than I’d imagined! And absolutely tasty.

We also enjoyed;

• Poppadoms & pickle tray – because they’re a must!
• Lamb Sheekh Kebab £7 – deliciously fresh and large portion
• Chicken Bhuna £10.95 – with added spice to my liking. This was deliciously rich, extremely tasty and satisfying
• Mutton Madras £10.95 – “lovelyyy” – tender meat and perfect spices. Ben was in his element.
• Garlic Naan & Pilau Rice

…Oh and a good few pints of Stella to wash it down with. The pub also serves a range of cask ales and many other delights a local pub has to offer.

The second visit to this pub was to their downstairs Steakhouse – On the Rocks S70 [ad]. This small but modern & inviting steakhouse is set in the pub’s renovated downstairs, and what a beauty it is.

Steaks are brought to your table on Black Rock Grill Hot Lava Stones for you to cook to your preference (don’t worry Rachel or Saleem will tell you exactly how it’s done). I was nervous initially as I’d never had it served this way before, but it’s fun and because of the quality of the meat, it’s sooooo juicy cooking it this way, fresh at your table. We had some lovely sirloins AND were treated to a massive spicy tandoori king prawn each too.

The steaks, of which there is a choice of cut and size, come with a huge side of chips, salad and veg.
There’s also a small starter menu which changes regularly depending on the fresh produce they have, and a number of extra sides to choose from too. Clearly we chose onion rings and mac & cheese as I love both of these things .

We had a perfect evening with the most delectable food here and would encourage other steak lovers to go give them a visit.

💷Steak meals from £18-£33.50 + extra sides & starters available. Wednesday offer = 2 steak meals and 2 drinks or bottle of wine for £40 (bargain!!)
