Cock & Bull Hyderabad — Restaurant in Hyderabad

"This Irish pub serves good English or Irish food and drinks (they also have other Indian and European foods and drinks) like the name implies. Even the decor and ambience truly feel Irish with its warm and inviting atmosphere. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Service is excellent, staff is very friendly, cheerful, and helpful, especially Mr. Srinivas. Pricing is a bit steep as expected."

This one was a bit hard to find, it is located on the Upper Ground floor in the tower.

Food: We ordered English Cheese Balls, Bone Marrow, Hunter's Style Chicken Drums, Mamma Mia Prawns, Beer Battered Fish and Chips, and Mangoficient (a simple mango and cream cheese-like dessert). They also serve other English or Irish dishes like Irish Stew, Shepherd's Pie, etc. They also serve pork and beef.

Bone Marrow: A unique dish and quite hard to find in restaurants or pubs in Hyderabad. It's beef bone marrow. The bone marrow itself is extremely rich and fatty. It can be very overwhelming as it is literally like non-vegetarian butter or ghee. Seasoning can be stronger. Hunter's Style Chicken Drums: Really delicious, spicy, and some hint of alcohol. Must try. Beer Battered Fish and Chips: Really nice, long, and fresh fish fillet. The batter is very light, thin, and fluffy. Amazing. They give wedges instead of fries. English Cheese Balls: Too much of cheese. Quite overwhelming. Needs more seasoning or a few veggies in it in my opinion.

Drinks: We got Beer Pitcher, Young Jimmy's Sour, Salted Susy, and Jaisalmer Gin.

Young Jimmy's Sour: An Irish whiskey cocktail, really refreshing and tropical due to pineapple and coconut being its flavours. Salted Susy: A bit unique, whiskey cocktail with bacon. Interesting umami flavour and aroma.

Service: Excellent service. Mr. Srinivas and another person were very helpful, cheerful, and friendly. They did not hesitate to fulfill any of our requests. They removed service charge voluntarily as well. Very good staff for sure.

Ambience: Truly themed like an Irish or English pub. Dark colours - red and black, very inviting, warm, and cozy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Both have their own charm. Music is not extremely loud, thus making it easy for us to converse.

Overall, a great and promising pub near Raidurg. Pricing is a bit high but is expected given the location and the demographics here. One can definitely give...

The best wings in Hyderabad? Seemed like a stretch of a claim as I checked out other reviews. Some might even say it was a bit of a 'Cock & Bull' story even. But then again, there was only one way to find out. Post a movie we landed up at C & B with its claim to fame of being Irish in nature. Located by the Skyview towers in the Hi-tech area, as you head towards Gachibowli, you are greeted by a swanky drive through with valet available before entering the big office towers. Once inside, you walk passed a couple of corridors to see C & B tucked away on one side. As you enter you see the classic green walls, high ceilings, a make shift bridge connecting to what is a beautiful backlit bar. Cozy cabin like fixed sofas and chesterfield sofas complete the decor of wall paneled classic styling with its ambient lighting to set a cozy, yet vibrant mood. Outside, there is a patio style area to enjoy food, but on this night there was a team-lead meeting so it was reserved. We didn't order drinks this time, but I did realize that being Irish - Guiness(the beer) is yet to make its way to India?! When it came to food we had a good spread between cheese balls, a wings platter, pasta, pad thai, green curry and even pizza! Overall, the highlights here were the pizza and the green curry. The wings were good, but they could have improved on the qty and flavours a bit more. The cheeseballs were frankly quite bland for my taste. Overall though, a pretty good experience. The bar menu suggested some seriously interesting options which I look forward to trying next time! (Even though I don't agree that they make the best...

Aesthetics and Drinks

I chose this place for a rather late lunch and here is my experience-

Food (6/10) Coming straight to the point, we ordered-:

Shepherd pie (700/-)(Lamb Meat) The shepherd's Pie was Overrated and Mid to say the least. For such a price I was expecting decent quality, but to my disappointment I got more of a plate rather than a Pie. (7/10)

Pork Belly Sandwich (500/-) While the meat was tender, it lacked proper seasoning and sauce. Most of the sandwich tasted like bland meat drowned in excess barbecue sauce. (6/10)

Chicken Nachos (600/-) Now coming to the worst item on the Menu according to me. I am not a person who enjoys pineapple in my nachos. It wasn't mentioned in the Menu that IT CONTAINED PINEAPPLE. (2/10)

Bumbly bee (300/-) The drink was fairly refreshing with a mix of juices , coconut whipped cream. (8.5/10)

Service (8.5/10) The staff were well trained and were to the point, their attention to detail and service provided by them was spot on.

Ambience (9/10) The interior was beautifully designed, making it feel like an authentic Irish bar in the UK. It was visually stunning and meticulously maintained, providing a true feast for the eyes.

Overall would I recommend this place? Absolutely, the owner did a pretty good job making and designing the place. The food overall was overpriced and mediocre at best. It's a great pub so expect some refreshing Drinks and mediocre bar food. (A piece of Advice, this place is pretty well hidden so be sure to ask around for...
