Entry is into a reasonably large bar area, with high banquette seating on a small dais along one side and normal chairs and tables arranged over varnished floorboards. A table football game sits to one side of the bar. Further back, up some steps, there's a carpeted area with quite a bit more seating. In good weather, they have a few tables out the front on the (pedestrianised) street.
Food served noon-3:30pm and 5:30pm-9pm Mon-Fri, noon-8pm Sat, and noon-6pm Sun, according to the Fuller's website as of September 2009.

[[Kake]] visited on a Friday lunchtime in August 2012. Four ales were on, all from Fuller's: Chiswick, ESB, London Pride (£3.55/pint), and Wild River. There were a fair few people in at 1pm, with only a couple of tables still free in the front area (though plenty available at the back). A staff member was greeting customers on entry and offering table service for both food and drinks, though it's also fine to order these at the bar. Music was playing, fairly quietly.

According to the Cock &amp; Bull website as of August 2012, food is served noon-3pm and 5:30pm-9pm Mon-Fri, noon-8pm Sat, and noon-6:30pm Sun; see <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7904729080/sizes/l photo of menu as of August 2012]</small>.

In August 2012, [[Kake]] tried the ricotta gnocchi with orange and sage brown butter sauce, served with a watercress and orange salad (&pound;8.75) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7904707238/ photo]</small>. The gnocchi were pretty good, and the sauce was flavourful, though sadly contained a couple of orange pips. The watercress in the salad was well past its best, wilted and yellowing; I didn't realise this until I started eating it, though, since it was concealed under some (perfectly fine and nicely flavourful) rocket. I'm guessing this was due to supply issues in the kitchen, but personally I'd have left off the watercress in this case and just made the salad with rocket.

Accessibility: A small step (kerb-height) to get in. Step-free access to bar and some (less than half) of the seating once you're in. Toilets are up a flight of stairs with a bend and noncontinuous sturdy handrails on both sides.
