The "Cock", a coaching inn dating back to around 1300 but rebuilt in 1750 after a fire, has been doubly immortalised through its name. The nursery rhyme "Ride a Cock horse to Banbury Cross" is said to refer to a horse from the Cock's stables.

And the phrase "a Cock and Bull story" is believed to derive from the exchanges of sometimes exaggerated news from passengers of the forty or more mail coaches which at one time called daily here, and at the Bull Hotel just up the High Street.

 

This coaching inn has been the home for the Wolverton and Stony Stratford Rotary Club for over 30 years following its move from its original home in Wolverton.

The club meet every Tuesday, except when the preceding day is a Bank Holiday, for dinner at 6:15pm for 6:30pm. All are welcome

 Chinese meal at Kam Tong

We had a very successful evening on Tuesday 13th March. The event was held in aid of local youth charities and in particular "Kids Out" trip to Whipsnade Zoo in June when special needs children from the Walnuts School are taken there by coach.

88 people attended the event. Representatives from the other Rotary clubs in Milton Keynes were there to support us. Rotarians, family, friends, Friends of Rotary, senior staff from the Walnut School, members of Wolverton Cricket Club and Inner Wheel were also there to help

Rotary Club President David Llewellyn (pictured seated centre with some of the recipients) commented  “We are enormously grateful to everyone who helped with the collections and, of course, to the public who gave so generously to make all these donations possible”.

make the evening a very successful and happy event.
An extensive raffle and auction contributed to raising the grain total of £606. Raffle and auction prizes were donated by our Rotarians, friends,  Red Bull and Twin Locks golf course at Brickhill.
This was our first fundraising event at the Kam Tong and felt it was very successful and we have plans to repeat it again in due course.
Thank you to everyone who supported the event and to the Youth committee who worked hard to make the evening so successful. In particular Sue Curryer who organised the raffle and auction.
Santa’s Late Deliveries!
It was Christmas all over again at the Cock Hotel in Stony Stratford on Tuesday evening (21st February) when the proceeds were distributed from Wolverton & Stony Stratford Rotary Club’s annual Santa Tour in the lead up to last Christmas.
From a total of just over £6,200 collected for local charities and community organisations during the 15 days of the tour, cheques were presented to a special gathering of representatives from the beneficiaries
