Called in here at 4pm on 26th March. We often stay on campsite at Ferry Meadows and have called in The Cuckoo numerous times.I ordered our food at bar and chose a table at front of pub for my partner and I and are two very well behaved small dogs. Food arrived promptly.There was a middle-aged to elderly man sitting in the bay window near us. He was on his phone, ok until he started listening to, perhaps a u tube video, which was extremely loud, we could hear every word. I thought “how ignorant” and hoped it would not last too long. Unfortunately, the noise continued.We do not expect to have a nice meal, with nice background music, ruined by an ignorant person. I told him I did not like listening to him on his very loud phone. He told me he did not like my two dogs? He was not going to turn the volume on his phone down so we all had to move to the opposite side of the pub?. The barmaid, who appeared to be in charge, said she “could not get involved in disputes between guests”.We were, actually, customers and, having been in the hospitality trade for most of my working life - owning various premises - I was not impressed with her answer. I would imagine, the ignorant customer was a regular, probably spending the price of one beer! We had actually spent £37.45p and were hoping to enjoy our meal in a nice pub with a nice ambience.The barmaid should have requested the man turn down his phone to a reasonable level.

Had a fantastic evening at the Cuckoo on Sunday night. Food was quick and so good, and service was even better. Shoutout to Caris for looking after us so well. She is a true credit to the team and The Cuckoo are lucky to have

If this was the first time we had visited we would not be returning, we waited over half hour just for our drink to arrive, we was told there was only one portion of pie left when she took.our drink order but by the time she came to take our food order it had been sold. We then waited an hour to receive out starters and when our mains finally arrive we're luke warm, our waitress did appologies on numerous occasions about the delay and said they was extremely busy and only had two chefs on. The table that was behind us came in before us and was only getting there mains as we left, I see them go to the bar and bring back a handful of crisps. The food definitely wasn't up to its usual standard we was very disappointed as this was a birthday celebration.

Disapointing birthday meal.Alot of food wasn't available, food cold, gravy in pots cold was took away and came back as cold as it had been, plate one side hot one side cold, the excuse of fan bringing in cold air from outside in kitchen, yet my side order was hot. Did complain, got free pudding which was terrible, Eton mess, was told the mix was raspberries, blackcurrant and black berries, I asked for no fresh strawberries due to allergy but it arrived slopped in a bowl and 2 black currants was the only fruit that was in it. Only good comment is for rocco and his excellent customer service. Won't go back nor would I recommend.
