The Cuckoo - Alwalton

Me and my fiancé went here for our valentines lunch, absolutely beautiful oldie pub. The food was incredible, definitely 5 stars. Highly recommend to visit. Will definitely be back

I recently visited the Cuckoo Pub for a quick lunch and had an average dining experience. I ordered a cod fish finger sandwich, but was disappointed to find that it lacked sauce, making it a bit dry. I was also expecting some lettuce or greenery to be in the sandwich, but it did not have any. The service I received was okay, but not quite as attentive as I was hoping for. Despite these shortcomings, the Cuckoo Pub is still a decent place to grab a bite to eat. However, improvements could be made to the food and service to enhance the overall dining experience for customers.

The standard is way low when I came few years ago… we had a prawn cocktail with overripe avocado (brown ish), I had a beef bourguignon which was okay, but the mash wasn’t good, I had a dumpling on top which was rock-hard solid. Service wasn’t great as well, we could see the waiter struggling to get everything done, but lack of employees for busy Thursday night was quite clear. It’s a shame.. Disappointing, I’m not coming back.

Staff were welcoming and very friendly. Great atmosphere. Clean. Very accommodating. Great food. Food presented well and very nice. Booked for 11 people with no problems. 1 party member ordered the 3 meat roast,but there was no beef...(but it was later in the day,so to be expected)..would of been nice to be offered 2 meat roast, as the other 2 meats were available for separate dinners. All in all a great pub to eat.

Bit hit and miss in places. Went here for our wedding anniversary. Meat, gravy,Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese were excellent, but carrots were overdone, broccoli was underdone and potatoes were ok. On the other hand puddings were gorgeous and service was top quality. Would come again but would like to try the weekday menu. Good effort but needs improvement
