Some houses were named the Cock because they sold the once-popular Cock Ale, but it is not known if this is one of them! First licensed in 1737 with the present building, designed by Bird & Walters, dating from 1898. Now a stylish Sam Smith pub with huge glass lanterns outside and with polished dark woodwork, snob screens and tiled flooring inside. Some features (including the bar back, panelling and fire surround) are original. The screens and tiled flooring are however modern reproductions added by Samuel Smith during a refit to make the venue seem more like an authentic fin-de-siecle pub. Food is served in the upstairs lounge bar. Beer prices are reported to be very reasonable for this central location.

Patrons should note that there is a strict "no swearing" policy in Samuel Smith's establishments. Also by decision of the brewery owner, customers may not use mobile phones (except for payments), laptops or similar inside the pub; tablets and iPads are prohibited inside or outside. The brewery's policy is that its pubs are for social conversation person to person.

Restoration

The building dates from 1898 and has been restored by Sam Smith to seem like an authentic late-Victorian pub. There are huge glass lanterns outside and polished dark woodwork, snob screens and tiled flooring within. Features such as the bar back, panelling and fire surround are original and elsewhere the brewery has given good attention to details such as mirrors and glass, ceiling roses and partial partitions, one of which is topped by a splendid clock. Food is served in an upstairs lounge and real ale is available.
