The Cuckoo Oak, Madeleyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
3 Handpulls, 2 "on" IPA being line cleaned so only Old Speckled Hen if you could get served. Seemed to be 1 barmaid doing drinks and taking food orders very slow. We had over 90 minute wait for food with no explanation or apology. No tables cleared, very few staff on a Bank Holiday... great planning , very poor service.

3 handpulls still GK IPA the only option - sort it out!!

Only average pints of GK IPA yesterday - the only option - not impressed!

Another successful visit this time for Mothers Day, the Steak to be fair was OK and the Westgate brewery's FLANKER'S TACKLE was very palatable. Not bad for a Hungry Horse Greene King pub...very noisy and full of "Mothers"!

Fair play to this place... It was a bit of a dive a few years ago but I have just gad a very nice steak christmas meal and can't fault it. Now that they have made the effort an got cask ale in it is well worth a visit. Being a Greene King house it has the usual IPA on the new font, Speckled Hen and also had the new Abbot Reserve 6.5% on and I'm writting this as I tackle my 4th pint on a Saturday afternoon... I may be here some time! Not sure I'd hold a wedding reception here though (there is one going on here now!). Did I say how nice the Abbot Reserve was hic!?

Very ordinary estate-type eatery which serves tasteless beer. Food is mostly re-constituted lard. Generally soulless, typical Hungry Horse, not somewhere I'd make an effort to find as there are better pubs and restaurants all around. Probably OK if you live here and don't want to walk down to Coalport or Bliss Hill, I guess.
