The Cock Inn, Leek

Strongers . left this review about The Cock Inn

The Cock Inn is a Joule’s pub that had four locals in during a recent Tuesday evening visit, which is quite a crowd for a pub of this brewery midweek. To the right of the entrance is a tile floored area with little brown banquettes. A mix of seating runs up the wooden floored left, including an uncomfortable barrel with high stools that I decided to sit at rather than choosing a table on my own out of the bar area. At the rear, around to the right behind the bar, is a strip of raised seating and more steps lead up into more seating at the very rear. The pub is quite traditional with lead lined front windows, etched Joule’s mirrors, framed pictures and other brewery ephemera. The music was very random jumping from rock to Britney so I expect there’s a Jukebox somewhere. The service was polite, but the draught selection was limited with four of the five hand pumps drawing Joule’s beers alongside Carling, Staropramen, Guinness and a cider on keg. I suppose fans of Joules would be more than happy, as demonstrated by the chatty locals. I’m not so I don’t plan on returning.
