Excellent place and really good food. Staff friendly and brilliant. Highly recommend.

Tired. Sad. Unlocked potential.

Disappointing Dining Experience at The Peacock At Owler Bar Not Worth the Hype Yesterday, my partner and I visited this restaurant, drawn by its charming location and inviting pub-style interior that initially set a promising tone. The menu was extensive, featuring creatively named dishes accompanied by prices that suggested a high-quality dining experience. However, our anticipation quickly turned to disappointment. For starters, I ordered the scallops priced at £13.95, expecting a generous portion. To my surprise, the dish consisted of just two scallops and a single prawn in sauce—a meagre serving that fell short of expectations. Moving on to the mains, I chose a dish described as 'prawns with noodles.' What arrived was essentially a bowl of noodles with six prawns—again, not aligning with the menu's description. My boyfriend opted for the Sunday roast, which was equally underwhelming. The plate featured one carrot, one parsnip, and roast potatoes that were poorly prepared. The overall presentation and quality did not justify the price point. Adding to our concerns, nearby diners accompanied by a dog were vocally dissatisfied with their meals. We overheard them complaining about undercooked chicken, which is a serious food safety issue. In summary, the quality and portion sizes of the food did not match the premium pricing. The experience was disappointing, and I would not recommend this establishment to others.

We have been staying here every year since 2022 and every time is absolute perfection. Amazing nature surroundings, very quiet and peaceful. The rooms are very spacious, modern and comfortable, and the terrace looking over the hills is the cherry on top. The food in the pub is also great - freshly made and high quality. Will continue coming back time and time again.

Loved it Good food with excellent service. Full of older people on Sunday eating while the rest sat outside
