Well they don't - get yourself down to the Boom Boom where Pete Feenstra's helping to keep the blues alive. The clubhouse at Sutton United FC is the venue and Mr Feenstra puts on a band there most weekends (and sometimes during the week as well). Over the past couple of years I have seen some great blues acts there - Popa Chubby, Joe Bonamassa, Devon Allman, Walter Trout and Nine Below Zero to name but a few. Drinks are at social club prices which means that you still get change from a fiver and the music is fabulous. he also promotes a fair few "tribute" bands which are not really to my taste but he's keeping music alive and that is really what matters. Entry fees vary but it's normally ranging from £8 - £15.

All the tables were reserved when we arrived so a good tip for Sunday. Food was good to excellent - they had an amazing suckling pig (slices of) for two. Portions generous. When we realised we'd ordered one dish incorrectly they swiftly replaced it even though the kitchen was busy. A traditional menu, though none the worse for that. Highlight was a sticky toffee pudding. If ever I'm down this way again I'll be back.

It's a real find and I would recommend the place to anyone who fancies a country pub with good food. It's more a restaurant than a pub. One other thing is that we have found in the past that groupon is a disappointing experience where businesses see you as a 2nd class customer and not as providing a loss leader to get your repeat custom. Weird if you ask me why companies waste money offering a reduced price then treat you like dirt. This was NOT our experience at the Cock Inn and we look forward to returning.

However when I do go I find this a very laid back, friendly bar, that whilst obviously a local doesn't come with the same aggressive overtones that you get with some of these out of the way places! It's an honest down to earth place. With a house double vodka and mixer under a £5, you're on to a winner here - and the music isn't half bad either! They seem to have quite a few music events, which always makes a good atmosphere. One thing to note, they do stop doing the Sunday lunch pretty early, and whilst there is a Tesco across the way's that also closes early and you have very limited food options in the area. I had to survive last time on crisps and nuts, which didn't go down so well with my plan to drink lots! If you're in the area or into open mic's then check this place out, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way otherwise.

However, they had an open mic night with a rock/reggae band named 'Jam side up' I think. They were awesome! They got the party going with Bob Marley covers and their own 'jams'.

It hosts events, live music, and taster sessions on certain nights to get the community involved. We had a drink here as a stop off before a birthday party and it was a really great space with a wonderful selection for its size. There is an open fire which we couldn't make the most of as it was mid-summer. I peeked at the beer garden but it was slightly too chilly and dark to check it out properly. Will put it on the to-do list for next time! That will go next to 'trying the food' which is already on the list. The menu features hearty pub food classics and the establishment boasts that its bread and meat come from the local baker and butcher. Seems to be the epitome of the idea behind the original 'public house': community, good food/drink, and good company.

The superb experience began with the aforementioned phone call. The assistant manager (hi Ben) was so impressed with our determination to visit his establishment, he'd chosen two of the seven (I think) available real ales for us, poured them before we arrived, and bought them for us. He made us drool with a description of last weekend's beer festival (and it was a proper festival at that, with loads of beers on tap), and the brochure from it. We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. The pub is indeed hard to find it is in a sports' ground, but not the LSE sports' ground (important to note it's where we looked first). There is a large car park behind it, and the building is a single story oddity it doesn't hugely resemble a pub. Once you walk in though, your eyes will be assailed with stuff. The pub is football themed, but not in the kind of eight-million tellies blaring the Chelsea game at full volume. Whilst there are a couple of LCD televisions, indeed, showing the footy, they are not hugely obstrusive. Instead, what makes this a football pub is the sheer amount of memorabilia on the walls, ceilings, tables, bar indeed, every available space. It is, even for a non-football fan like me, fascinating. The beer is superbly kept. I had a couple of pints of one Redemption's offerings (I had tried their beer before when they first opened at a beer tasting). It was just right the temperature was spot on (just a little below room temperature), and it was clear and tasty. This is clearly a pub that values its real ales. The staff all of them (even those not working but using the pub as their local) were amazingly friendly, kind, funny and welcoming (if a bit squeaky you know who you are! mwhahaha). There is a small beer garden/smokers' corner. It is neat and tidy, though not amazingly interesting (compared to the pub's interior, especially). This is a pub I will certainly be visiting again if I lived a bit closer, it would be a pub I'd be happy to call my local.
