The Cock Inn, Wivelsfield has plenty to crow about with a collection of roosters on display in the saloon bar.
Landlord Terry Parrott, and his wife Chris came to this solid, dependable looking village pub five years ago and have established a reputation for good food and drink (real aleas available) which attracts customers from outside the area.
Sky TV has been installed in the public bar so that on big match days and other major sporting occasions fans can view the games on a 51 inch screen without the need of purchasing a dish themselves. There is no canned mustc or noist fruit machines in the house.
