Paid an overdue visit to this pub and was most disappointed. My pint of real ale was not good. My wife had half a lager and complained that it did not taste nice. What has happened to what was an enjoyable pub to visit?wetherspoons standard

We called in here, early on a Saturday lunchtime, so we managed to occupy a window seat on the bar side and was soon chatting away to the people next to us. There were 9 handpumps in use, so we went for the Ulverston Harvest Moon and Briscoe's Lighter Shade of Pale. The Briscoe brewery, a local beer, which was started in 1998 by a Dr Paul Briscoe, who started brewing in his cellar. Whilst at the bar I purchased one of their hot pasties, locally made, which I have to say was outstanding and coupled with a good pint of beer, you can't go wrong.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Old Cock
At the time of my visit, I honestly had no idea that this wasn't quite the attractive 'old' pub that it seems... Anyway, it looks a picture from the street and has a very comfortable and traditional feel inside. Limited seating in the compact bar but more in the side room and upstairs. Nine handpumps on the counter, offering an excellent range of local beers including a fine pint of Wharfebank Dexter Milk Stout. Very handy if waiting for a bus, and well worth a visit anyway even if you're not!
