The Cock

Would highly recommend. My husband booked a table for my birthday. The food was so tasty and well presented. I had the soup of the day which was parsnip, coconut and ginger. The best soup I have ever had. Then I had the pie of the day which was venison. It was delicious. The staff were all so friendly. Claire was lovely, very friendly and very attentive. Thank you so much. We will definitely be returning.

Fantastic dining pod, the best I've been to. Ben was very accomodating, pleasant and helpful. Kids loved the food. Booking through the website showed some of the times as unavailable but call up if your preferred time isn't showing as there seemed to be some issue with the booking system. Great place and lovely staff.

A very nice pub offering excellent food. The dining area is cosy with a nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly, providing good service. The prices are reasonable. There is space for dining outside, in the back garden. There are also a few pods at the rear garden for those who prefer to have a more private area for dining. Overall a great place.

Fantastic gem of a find this was. Working away from home, had a long day, me and the dog wanted a good bit of grub and a friendly abode. We were not disappointed with either. The two members of staff that served me were lovely friendly and very kind to my dog. The food was quite pricey but absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Finally, a chef that knows where the salt pot is!

The food here was really really good! The staff were very friendly but not over bearing which is great! I highly recommend eating here!

Absolutely amazing, the food was excellent even with a limited menu due to Covid restrictions , the atmosphere was great and the whole experience was only made better by the fantastic staff. Would 10/10 recommend

A great place to eat and drink. Has some nice ales (instead of chain lagers). Food was excellent. Really nice, will return.

Or Sunday lunch was excellent! Delicious food attentive staff and amazing atmosphere in one of the outdoor pods. Can't wait to come again. Thank you for making our weekend feel extra special :)

A fabulous high end gastro dining pub that's now opened two dining pods. As this was a birthday treat I was lucky enough to secure one for our dining experience. Inside they are heated probably seat up to 8 and have bluetooth speakers to stream your own music and a service button to get the waiter. Absolutely fabulous, from the pod to the food to the service. A really brilliant place to eat out!!

Brilliant! There are a couple of vegan options (two starters and one main) on their (temporarily) reduced menu. I had the nut roast which was amazing and I absoulutely recommend, but next time I would love to make a meal out of the sides to try them out too. The garden was lovely and felt very covid friendly and the staff were very nice. I can't wait to come back again soon!

Excellent food and service. Great to be back in a restaurant. Service was attentive throughout and the food was consistently good. Scallop starter especially tasty.

A great family Sunday lunch. Plenty of gluten free options for those that require. This place is popular so booking is essential! Lovely area for walks also.

Excellent service, food was very good, well cooked and presented, good ambience, seating and decor. This will be a regular dining spot on future UK visits.

Fantastic lunch experience! We booked one of the pods and the service was attentive and the food excellent. Brilliant experience and we are looking forward to returning soon!

Very friendly staff. Welcoming atmosphere. Lovely "oldy-worldy" feel, just watch out for the low beams. Wood burner. Will return. Very busy for Sunday Dinner!

We love the The Cock special events throughout the year, including curry nights, steak nights, game nights, vegan nights and more recently a really entertaining themed murder mystery dinner. Best of all nice food, drink and blackadder played in the toilets, Outdoors we love the garden great for eating out in the summer or the beer festival. stylish dining pods look great but a bit expensive for us.

Wow the Cock, Hemingford Grey, what a lovely pub, interior was lovely and cosy. Excellent menu choices and attentive service made for a lovely evening, evening a gluten free menu. We had amazing time and look forward to returning soon.

Randomly popped in here and had a nice experience. Very oldy worldy pub with a fire place and little nooks and crannies. Food was prompt and delicious and reasonably priced.the staff were very friendly.

A lovely lunchtime dining experience. Lovely helpful staff, great food and nice beer. Gorgeous duck parcel, lamb and STP. A definite must do!

Thank you so much to the team for creating the perfect atmosphere for our hen meal. The food was outstanding and the staff were so helpful

We've been here a couple of times. Most recently we visited for our 3rd wedding anniversary and booked a pod in the garden. It was brilliant, kept warm, had a Bluetooth speaker for music. Despite us being the only ones in the garden, the staff were still attentive and would check in on a good cadence. Food and wine selection was great on all 3 courses and what we ate was excellent. We had a really nice evening and will be back again.

What a great place and good value for money. Friendly staff, clean, lovely garden and the food was amazing. No complaints at all, get down there and try it….

Our first dining experience in London is the beloved Cock Hemingsford in Hemingsford Grey, England. Everything was wonderful, and I can't wait to visit their adorable pub next door.

Food was superb, loads of choice and a great atmosphere for a lunchtime service. Jolianne is an absolute ray of sunshine; super friendly, attentive and a credit to this place. Will 100% come back.

First time visiting, it was a lovely pub/restaurant with welcomv staff and lovely menu, including a menu for Gluten Intolerance. The food was well presented and fresh. I would say this is really a restaurant primarily with a pub ambience. But I do not think you will be disappointed with a large outdoor area and an ample car park. I would recommend for anyone visiting the area to stop by.

Great food. Only down side was a waitress was stood there watching and the second my cutlery hit the plate she was over to clear the table before I had even finished my mouthful

Lovely people working there and the food was AMAZING - got garlic parm wings and truffle fries and it was EXACTLY what I needed… the cock will see me again

Great food, great staff, service and friendly environment. Best steaks!! Sian and her team went above and beyond for our table. As well Ben the chef and his!

Lovely lunch. Very helpful and friendly staff and a great environment. The food is inventive and delicious, well beyond the usual pub offerings. Update for April 2025: We had a great time at the fish-oriented tasting menu dinner last night. As always the staff were very friendly and helpful, but this event really showcased the skill and inventiveness of the kitchen staff with 6 delicious, beautifully presented and well-paced dishes. The place was understandably full.

We had an excellent Valentine's lunchtime meal. Food and service was great. We love the standards at Cambs Cuisine establishment.

Whenever we dine here we always have the best experience! Food is fantastic, the service is prompt and friendly without being overbearing. A brilliant establishment with a great reputation that they can uphold.

We came for dinner at the start of October. Our server Jodi-Ann was amazing and all staff were very friendly and helpful with my allergy. They were also great with my 2 year old daughter. The food was amazing as always for The Cock! We will be back shortly.

​We visited The Cock for a birthday celebration and had a very enjoyable visit overall. The atmosphere was perfect for a larger party, and the staff handled our group of 10 well. ​The food was fabulous and everyone enjoyed their meal. Most of us went for the Sunday Carvery, which was high quality and very tasty. My only slight critique is that the menu felt a bit "standard"—it would have been great to see some unique "specials" available to add a bit of variety to the traditional options. ​Price was very reasonable for the quality provided. A solid choice for a classic Sunday roast in a lovely setting. We’ll definitely be back!

A brilliant restaraunt and pub. Absolutely fantastic service, with beautiful atmosphere, and outrageously good food! A place i have come to many times before and will visit many times more. Always the same consistent quality on all fronts!

Very nice place, good food and nice presentation. Staff kind and effective. Coffee really nice

Very Friendly and welcoming staff. Food was fantastic with good choices. Wine list expensive and limited (no prosecco or Pinot grigio). Dining room got very noisy as it filled up and people had a few drinks.

The food was very good but due to it being a very busy night it took well over an hour to get our starters. It then took a further hour to receive our mains so we arrived at 19.00 and didn't leave until 23.00. I had a crab parcel starter which was very good followed by sausage and mash for mains the only real let down was my cabbage was very undercooked and had only been microwaved I think. I would like to go again and hopefully there will be better times between courses. The staff were really excellent. The pub was very busy with a beer festival and a band as well.

Messed our booking up, good job we had the email, otherwise I think they would've told us no tables, in the end we had a drink.in the bar, while they sorted something out. Food high quality but small portions, so we has 3 courses. Expensive but you get what you pay for....

There was a group of 23 of us with pre booked food Service was erratic in getting drinks They did not have enough place settings/chairs setup for us The food was not to the normal high standard The vegan choices of main and starters was very poor I had the mushroom wellington it did not come with the stated Brussel sprouts the ‘braised cabbage’ was an aniseed taste not stated on the menu i would have not ordered it I had not starter i could eat that was vegan and not an aniseed taste In fact as I would only have a choice of vegan dessert i probably would not have bothered at all The dessert was lovely but did not make a nice meal with the other courses Left very disappointed

Went on a Sunday a few weeks ago with family as it's supposed to be one of the best pubs in the region and was highly recommended by friends. We had an early booking so it was quiet when we arrived so the food and drinks came quickly. The staff were amenable but should have made it clear that if only one course is purchased it is charged as two courses. 4/5 of us had the roast rump beef and only 1 liked it. At the prices you pay you'd expect a better quality cut of meat. I had the belly pork which could have done with more cooking as it was so fatty and would have tasted better if it was reduced. The Yorkshire puddings and trimmings were fantastic as were the desserts. The staff gave a discount because the majority of us were unhappy with the meal which was appreciated. I'd probably go back but not for a Sunday roast.
