The Cock & Bull, Newmarket is the 'jewel in the crown' of the five Cock & Bull pubs. The chain's beer is brewed at the Steam Brewing Company in Otahuhu, which started originally in East Tamaki in 1995 behind the chain's first pub. One of their beers, Fuggles Best Bitter, is a true English-style ale, alive and unadulterated by artificial carbon dioxide. Newmarket is generally busy enough to give the eager customer a chance of receiving a fresh, cool, pint, pulled from the handpump. Most of their pubs need to give some attention to their dishwashing procedures as it's not uncommon to receive pints with hardened foam from previous beer causing bubbles on the inside of the glass. This is hardly an enticing start to one's drinking experience at the Cock & Bull! The Newmarket branch opened in 2005, and is a spacious, relaxed, pleasant place to meet friends and enjoy real ale.
