Cock

Warm Up for the Show at This Cozy Country Pub

Nestled in the scenic outskirts of Sheffield, Cock is a traditional English pub located in Grenoside, just a short drive from the city’s popular concert venues. With its stone exterior, wood-paneled interiors, and relaxed countryside charm, it's the kind of place that feels like a local secret. Expect generous portions of classic pub fare, a strong selection of ales, and a laid-back, family-friendly vibe that welcomes both locals and visitors alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Quick service, plenty of parking, and a peaceful setting make Cock a smart stop before heading into the city for a show. It’s far enough from the crowds to be relaxing, but close enough to Sheffield’s live music scene for a convenient pre-show meal. The pub’s friendly staff are known for getting meals out efficiently, so you can dine without worrying about missing the opening act.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a hearty meal and a few pints before the gig
• Solo travelers who want a cozy, no-fuss spot to recharge
• Couples enjoying a countryside escape and a romantic live music night
• Fans who prefer a quiet pub vibe over crowded venues pre-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate generous portions and fair prices

What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the tender roasts, well-kept beers, and attentive staff. Many highlight the charming setting and excellent value. The pub’s Sunday lunches are particularly popular, with diners noting the “proper homemade feel” of the meals and the “welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere.”

Areas for Improvement

While most appreciate the quiet location, some reviewers mention that it's a bit out of the way if you're relying on public transport. And occasionally, if it's a busy weekend, the kitchen can slow down—though staff are always apologetic and accommodating.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a hearty meal in a relaxing pub atmosphere before a night of live music, Cock offers the perfect countryside escape just outside Sheffield.
