The Cock Inn - South Cambridgeshire

We expect a landlady to have a certain brusque disposition, it rather goes with the territory when you're managing a pub. There is a very big difference, however, between a firm manner and overt discourtesy. Before visiting, I had read older reviews, but dismissed them as the usual village gossip and sour grapes. I'm afraid, though, that staff at the **** Inn come exactly as described gratuitously and randomly rude. Funnily enough, everyone else in the village seems happy with my manners; even the teens working at the Co op can manage a smile now and then it's just this one place. The building's interior and gardens are actually quite attractive presumably this is the only reason they are still in business but the architecture is not in itself enough to warrant a visit. If you are travelling any kind of distance, and especially if you are visiting with others who would be embarrassed if you have to walk out, you might consider choosing a different pub.

It’s sunday, you fancy a pub lunch after a morning’s hard graft moving house and you think the local pub will be able to help out. Sadly not. For some reason the pub has adopted an almost entirely Italian restaurant style menu. If this isn’t what you fancy then there’s very little to choose and what we got was disappointing to boot. As the Sunday dinner beef option was sold out we ended up with thin, dry, depressed looking beef burgers and a bland broccoli soup that was 1 part broccoli and seemingly 9 parts cream. I love Italian food and I love decent pub grub. I just wish this [very much a traditional village pub] did the latter.

You can enjoy a great pint of Abbot at My Local. It's been a while since I last dined there, but the last time was excellent. The chef prepares delicious Italian dishes.

"This restaurant has a great selection of beer and is dog friendly. We didn't try the food because it is predominantly Italian, and we had already enjoyed an Italian meal the night before. The beer garden is fantastic, perfect for spending a lot of time in good weather. We didn't feel like we received the friendliest welcome on our first visit, but this may have been an isolated incident. We ended up going to another pub where we received a very warm and friendly welcome, so we decided to spend the rest of our nights there instead. I would still recommend giving this pub a try as it is lovely, but if you don't feel welcome there, there is another pub just across the road."

We recently bought a house in Gamlingay and plan to move in about two months. While we are renovating our new home, we have been frequenting the **** Inn for drinks and meals. The staff and landlady were very welcoming when we visited, and we enjoyed learning about the food menu, the pub, and the surrounding area. We decided to bring some friends to see our new house and have dinner at the **** Inn on the quiet Tuesday evening of April 23, 2019. We had a great time chatting with the friendly landlady, who answered our questions about the village and the pub. The pub itself is surprisingly large with different areas, including a cozy bar with a traditional country pub feel. The food, mainly Italian, was delicious and filling. We enjoyed our starters and main courses, but sadly had no room left for dessert. The dishes were well-cooked, nicely presented, and good value for money. Overall, we had a pleasant evening and look forward to returning to the **** Inn for more meals and drinks with friends in the future.
