Ye Olde Cock Tavern, Fleet Street
FancyaPint?'s review...
Following yet another a refit, Ye Olde Cock Tavern has moved away from the bland look of before and brought itself back into a more 'traditional' guise, with a mix of dark wood furniture. Don't be misled by the name of this pub though, this is all very much in the manner of a chain pub and there are a number of very similar pubs not too far way. Vertical drinking is order of the day around the bar, but this place is deceptively large with seating at the back and three more floors of seating above. A handful of ales are available while the food cheap but uncheerful and the service pretty poor. Our last visit didn't find great food, but we didn't eat on this occasion. We still didn't see enough to improve the rating, though.

Recent visit for a Christmas drink with nibbles proved an old 2008 review was seriously out of date. Managed to book a space for a dozen, most of whom are serious about their beer. The staff protected our space prior to our arrival, happy to stop anyone using it until they properly identified themselves.
Good range of beers enjoyed over about 5 hours and the platters served up with a smile arrived at the pr-ordered time were delicious, good value and very hot (don’t rush the hot sausages or you’ll get burnt).
Will certainly be visiting again and rate at least 3 pints.
