Congratulations to Beard Friendly Cock Tavern E8 on its 10th Birthday
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has congratulated the Cock Tavern, Mare St E8 on the 10th anniversary of its opening.
The Cock has won the Beard Friendly Pub of the Year award more times than any other pub.
The vote was not held in 2022, post-Covid but will return early in 2023
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we congratulate the Cock on maintaining a beer and beard friendly approach over a decade. It has inspired many other beard friendly pubs and it stands as beard friendly icon
The Beard Friendly Pub
A safe environment for all.
Beard Friendly Pub: a pub that welcomes the hirsute and often has a significant number of hirsute customers, including but certainly not confined to those with modern styles of beards.
Beard Friendly Ambience: a pub that may have fewer hirsute customers but is welcoming to the hirsute through some bearded bar staff and beard friendly beers, plus has a generally relaxed atmosphere for all.
The campaign group says it welcomes diversity in both appearance and drinking. The truly beard friendly pub will have a genuine mix of customers not just a load of old blokes grumbling about life.
It must be 10 years under new owners. I drank there regularly in the late 1970s. No real ale though.
