The Cock Inn, Mugginton - Amber Valley

This pub is absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff are wonderful, and the food is delicious. We enjoyed our experience so much that we dined there two nights in a row. The staff were incredibly friendly and gave us a warm welcome. We were also pleased to find out that the pub is dog-friendly, which was a big bonus for us. Our furry friend was well taken care of as well. We highly recommend this restaurant and the lovely people who work there. It is definitely a must-visit pub. You will not be disappointed!

The atmosphere is lovely and the food is exceptional, with a great variety of beers and wines available. The staff is very welcoming as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent quality of food, and service. The meal arrived hot and well presented and we were really well looked after by the excellent Kiera. Chose to eat in the Farmers Bar with a very inviting fire and lovely atmosphere. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Lovely welcoming ambience even though pub not busy. Staff charming and attentive but not overbearing. Bar service very good and food ordering efficient. Both of us had beefburger which was excellent, well cooked, fresh a flavourful. The chunky chips were only just warm which we mentioned to our server who apologised and within a couple of minutes replaced them. We were both impressed with our experience and also impressed when issues are dealt with so well. Would highly recommend and will definitely return. Thank you!!!

We 've been to this pub on a couple of occasions recently, once for my Birthday in October with my wife and once as a family of 5 for Sunday lunch. Both visits were really disappointing, meaning that I don 't think we will be returning in a hurry... We have been patrons for a while, and previously we 've been really really happy. The food was always excellent as was the service. But sadly, no more. The birthday dinner in October was really below the standard we came to expect. Items missing from our order, and the standard was not at all good. Bland, cold and lacklustre. The same can be said about our visit on Sunday. Parts of our order were fridge cold. Not like they had been sitting out for a while, but fridge cold... The staff were attentive, and the tall head waiter chap was engaging and helpful, but the 'spark ' that made this place such a destination restaurant has well and truly left the building. The setting and the building itself remains beautiful. I don 't know if this place is under new management, or if it has new owners but I hope they take this review in the spirit in which it is meant and that they make the changes needed to get the place back on track....
