My first visit. The food was fantastic and the staff very attentive, polite and welcoming.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp, which they quickly put out on the way in and we're ready to set up when we left. Very accommodating.

I don't wish to be rude, but the interior of this pub is far nicer than the exterior would indicate. It was packed and for good reason, the food was excellent. Excellent portions and excellent prices! Loved it. Also their website does them no favours either. In that regard could do with an update.

This establishment was recommended by two separate people. Maybe we went when the Chef had a bad day (or maybe it wasn’t the main chef). It was a Tuesday evening. Mediocre food.

Five of us had a lovely Sunday lunch in early December. The service was excellent. With staff checking if all our meals were as we expected, and checking if we required any more drinks when glases were getting low! Gareth (chef) and his team do a great job in quite a small kitchen. Also with thanks to Andy and Sam for their hospitality.
Rachel Mayston
The food is fantastic and the service even better. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful, we will definitely visit again!Dietary restrictions: Absolutely brilliant, very accommodating for dietary restrictions.

My family and I would like to say a huge heartfelt Thankyou to the management and their excellent team, at The Cock Inn,Wivelsfield Green.We had booked our Christmas Dinner there and arrived on a cold,wet and windy Sunday lunchtime but as soon as we entered this local country inn our spirits were lifted by the warmth of the welcome we received.The ages in our party ranged from 93 to 7 years old so could have proved a challenge for the staff but they all, experienced and novices,treated us with respect,friendliness and professionalism. We were shown to our beautifully ‘dressed’table and our drink orders were taken immediately.Us lads,all being real ale drinkers,in unison announced the Harvey’s best and old were both in peak condition.We all enjoyed 3 courses of plentiful,well cooked and presented food, all served with a smile from the young waitresses. Drinks were served throughout the meal without anyone having a empty glass for long. We had our table for 3 hours and never felt under pressure to vacate it,we even had time for an impromptu fun Christmas quiz between courses. We finished our afternoon with yet another drink,by the roaring log fire,in the public bar.What a perfect way to end a wonderful family Christmas meal. Top marks from us all for the team at the Cock Inn and Thankyou all so very,very much.

Very popular and busy. Why? Because it is very good. Not a huge menu but add in the specials and you have a great range of foods. Well cooked, well presented, well served and at a decent price. I recommend it.
Living fairly local we decided to try out this establishment haven heard from others of the ‘ excellent’ food and hospitality which certainly not available to us during our visit. Parking is problematic with many customers parking in side roads, the welcome upon entering was non existent only acknowledged after standing at the bar for several minutes even though several members of the staff passed us on numerous occasions including it seemed the manager. The choice of food was good however the presentation of food on the plates, Sunday roasts, was well below standards seen at other establishments. We had to ask for more gravy as the servings had very little on each plate, thankfully this was presented quickly in a jug and was actually hot. Whilst the beef was well cooked the knives provided were very blunt therefore cutting into smaller slices was an issue even though the meat was not ‘tough’. Upon finishing our meals we had a long wait to get the plates cleared, it seemed the servers had no inclination to do so until we mentioned it; in other words they seemed to be in a different world. We waited a further 10 minutes or so thinking someone at least would offer the desert menu but again had to ask which was provided on a small board. To put into context the time we were there made the restaurant not busy being a 4pm booking with many customers having left the establishment with tables available throughout; the servers were polite but lacked the attentive requirements to clear tables in a timely manner and then to offer further courses. The servers were young, maybe only serving for a short time, therefore they really need to up their game to be more attentive for the surroundings they are working.

I hadn't been in here for years, but went to meet a friend for a natter on Friday night. The staff are fantastic! They make you so welcome, as soon as you walk through the door. We had booked, because we know they get busy. We had a nice table by the fire, it wasn't too noisy to chat. There were loads of specials on the board, as well as a nice menu, and the food was excellent. I had beef stroganoff. I don't often have beef because it can be so disappointing, but this tasted really good, and there were no chewy bits! Wish I could have finished it all but I pigged out on garlic bread ? Didn't look at the desserts! We had two mains and two drinks, and paid about £17 each.Parking: There's room for maybe a dozen cars, but I think you can probably park on the road.

Went here for lunch. Excellent service - it was really busy but they managed to get around everyone and were very nice. I'd say the food is good - pretty standard pub fayre. For me, not particularly special but definitely tasty and nice to eat.

Roast dinner poor...nut roast seemed to be made of rice... and gravy out of a packet. Meat eater ...didn't like hers either. Staff were lovely and friendly though
