Could you run this pub?
Are you looking to run a traditional, cask-ale picturesque pub in Birdwell? If so, look no further than the Cock Inn.
About the pub
The Cock Inn is the kind of pub people fall in love with the moment they step inside.
A beautiful stone building at the heart of Birdwell, it has all the charm you’d hope for in a proper village local: slate floors, exposed beams, an open fire, brass touches, and artwork that tells the story of the place. It’s warm, welcoming, and full of character. The locals know it too: the pub has just won CAMRA’s Pub of the Season for its outstanding cask ales, and it’s the go‑to spot for quiz nights, live entertainment, and the kind of evenings that bring the whole village together.
Inside, the pub is split into two cosy rooms served by a central bar: a lively lounge with an open fire and a snug that’s perfect for quieter moments. There’s space for around 60 guests, whether they’re dropping in for a pint, a bite to eat, or a relaxed afternoon. In summer, the beer garden becomes a real draw, and there’s handy parking for around ten cars.
Birdwell itself is a friendly, tight‑knit village with everything you need on the doorstep, plus excellent links to Barnsley, Leeds, and Sheffield thanks to the nearby M1.
With countryside just beyond the village centre, it offers the best of both worlds: a strong community and easy access to bigger towns and cities. For the right publican, The Cock Inn is a chance to take on a much‑loved pub at the heart of a village that truly values it.
