The Cock & Magpie, located in the historic village of Old Whittington, is a pub rich in history and tradition. Situated just two miles north of Chesterfield and 10 miles east of Sheffield, it benefits from its close proximity to these larger towns while retaining the charm of a smaller, close-knit community. The village, with its population of around 4,181, is nestled along the river Rother and has a deep historical connection, notably mentioned in the Domesday Book. The pub’s location beside Revolution House, a small stone cottage turned historic museum, adds to its unique appeal. The Revolution House, with its exhibitions of local interest, likely draws visitors who are keen to explore the area’s rich past. The Cock & Magpie itself has an intriguing history, having been founded in 1790 when it was converted from a former hostelry known as the 'Cock & Pynot'. This connection to the past gives the pub a distinctive character, linking it to centuries of local tradition. Old Whittington’s excellent transport links, especially via the A61, make the Cock & Magpie easily accessible to both locals and visitors traveling from Chesterfield and Sheffield.

This charming traditional country pub is housed within a picturesque stone property, beautifully preserving original features such as low-level beamed ceilings that add character and warmth. Central to the pub, the bar stands out with its premium product offerings, serving both the lounge and bar sections. The bar combines fixed bench seating with versatile low-level tables and stools at the front, all set on a welcoming wooden floor. Entertainment options include wall-mounted TVs for televised sports and a darts board with an oche for enthusiasts. Located at the back, the conservatory provides a modern dining space enhanced by an internal wooden wall, creating a stylish rustic ambiance. Adjacent to this area are additional dining tables and chairs, as well as a carpeted section ideal for lighter lunches. The lounge offers a cosy atmosphere with snug booths, a mix of bench and low-level seating, comfortable sofas, soft furnishings, and carpeted floors, perfect for relaxing and socialising. A fully functional trade kitchen is situated alongside the lounge and conservatory, ensuring efficient service. A passageway leads to the toilets, adorned with artwork celebrating the pub's rich history.
