On Thursday 29th January 2009 it was taken over by Mel Pimblett who has lived in Henham all her life and her partner Paul DeVere a successful restaurant owner.  A short time later they managed to secure the freehold on the premises and within a year they have turned around a pub that had reached an all time low into a very successful and vibrant 'local.'

A very important aspect of the success has been the quality of the food.  These days many pubs which have concentrated on the restaurant side of the business have lost that 'pub' feeling.
 

Not so The Cock.
Mel and Paul, with the help of Steve the chef and their team have succeeded in achieving a great balance between very good quality food at very reasonable prices and a welcoming atmosphere for those who want a drink, chat or just read the paper.

Should you wish to dine at The Cock, it is advisable to book in advance, particularly at the weekends.

Their phone number is 01279 850 347 and Mel and Paul will be very pleased to see you.
