However, it not doubt has a lot to do with it being out in the suburbs, and honestly I have never really travelled much out into the country, let along much outside of London.

We used to come to this 'back water' pub 20 years ago when the food was great, in recent years it has been a sad reflection of British Pub life with an empty car park and we have avoided it. We saw that it had reopened as a pub/pizza restaurant and popped in for lunch yesterday on a bright sunny day. The dark old pub has been transformed, the new owners who have been here now for a year have created a beautiful garden with lots of tables overlooking the wide open fields and the food was great. Mainly pizza and salads but they also do an 'oven baked breakfast' which I am just itching to try and take away. This bright and happy pub restaurant deserves to be very successful, looking forward to coming back with the kids very soon.

What an absolute treat. I went here with the boyff for…read morepost shopping dinner and i really liked the place. The sun was shining, so although we booked a table in the restaurant, the friendly staff asked if we wanted to have our dinner in the garden, so we did. The views are like something out of "Old England" with rolling green fields and trees and you could easily just while the hours away, relaxing, drinking cool refreshing drinks. For starters the bruschetta was fresh and really tasty chowed that down quick as you like, the boyff had chicken strips, which we perfectly okay, but nothing special to be honest and I think it was re-constituted chicken and not chicken breast. For mains the list of pizzas were not your typical type and there was an excellent selection and quite random toppings you could ask for, since this place is raved for about it's pizza, I opted for Ingeus pizza - chicken, pepperoni, meatballs, onion and mozzerella - with extra gorgonzola cheese and green peppers. The boyff went for a pasta dish - penne, tomato and bechamel sauce with chorizo and peas. I enjoyed my pizza it was cooked very well and evenly. Although I got a bit of food envy with the boyffs pasta as that was really good. They welcome children and you could see the waitress taking time out to pick up children that had fallen over and run back and forth with jugs of squash for people's kids in the hot weather. Although at one point, there was a child that kept kicking a ball under our table and feet whilst we were eating, but I blame the parents and not the pub! The decor is lovely and well maintained, in the bar area, which is quite limited, - but perfectly formed!! - is a TV that they have some sport on, but it is on silent and tucked away, most definitely there if you want to keep an eye, but not at all giving this a sports bar feel. I thought it a bit random that I got a glass of wine in what I would say was a 1/2 pint Carlsberg glass, but there you have it. The whole place just had a relaxing friendly vibe to it and all the staff had smiles. This is definitely on my favourite local places to go to when wanting pizza/pasta. The prices are equivalent to those of the chain places, but here the atmosphere is nicer and the selection better. Make sure you do call up ahead though as a lot of the time they are fully booked.

There are about 8 beers on tap, including Tiger, which is a rarity in the States. Bar is decently stocked and also has a number of red and white wines. A bottle of wine goes for about £17. The service at the bar is quite quick. On nice days, which it has been the last few days, most everyone stands outside. There are about 3 tables out to the side. You get to watch all the lawyers that work in the area, show off their expensive cars cruising down Long Lane, accelerating to 40mph and breaking hard in a span of 2 seconds. Kewl dudes! I'm bumping this sucker up to a 4-star if they are able to find my lost eyeglasses today.

Hackney has a funny mix of pubs, both classy and not so classy, and both sides of the spectrum have there advantages. The advantage of a place like the Cock Tavern, is that you don't have to deal with a pretentious crowd. The place is often very quite and is a bit of a locals bar. It has a kitschy English pub interior, complete with the dark, cave like atmosphere. If it was my place, I would let as much sunlight in as possible. It is definitely an alright place to have a quite drink with a friend, but not worth going out of your way for.
