Cock Tavern

“Fantastic pub, great beer choice, friendly staff and nice atmosphere.”

Asked for a sweet cider and was given a cinnamon spiced cider. As a bartender myself it’s not sweet or mildly sweet. Asked if the bar man heard me correctly with the key word being “sweet” but apparently it’s still sweet… fine if it is but I’ve had sweet ciders in here before and wasn’t this…

I visited while in town for work, and just came in for a beer and to kill some time. They had some decent stuff on both keg and cask, and a few real cider. The bartender was super friendly, and I really liked the atmosphere. It was fairly busy, but not full of loud drinkers. Definitely the kind of place I like to kill some time.

Wonderful pub bang next to Hackney Central. Multiple beer choices available, rustic and traditional inside, lots of books and games. Try to break the record of eating a pickled egg the quickest. Plenty of events to enjoy
