Peacock Coffee Lounge in Chesterfield

Very good food and the staff are very friendly and helpful sometimes the upstairs can be a bit cold so try and find a table downstairs.

Myself and my partner decided to try this cafe as a new venture. We visited on a Sunday at around lunch time, and it was very busy. We didn’t mind waiting, however staff didn’t seem to be making any extra effort to get the queue down quickly. They have seating inside, upstairs and outside but as weather wasn’t great we wanted to sit inside. We saw there was one free table however wasn’t sure if we had to wait to be seated, and out of curtesy for the person in-front of us we wanted to wait to see if they wanted to take said table. Rather than telling us we could go and sit down, one of the staff members turned around and quite abruptly asked if were were together, to which we said yes, and then told us to go and put something on the table to reserve it before someone came in to take it because they were busy, and only getting busier. Whilst I appreciate this was probably meant to be helpful, I actually found it quite abrupt and bit pushy. When we finally got to the front of the queue, half way through taking our order another member of staff came to the waitress on the till and asked to swap, which they did, but then the new waitress started totalling up our order and trying to take payment without even asking if we had finished. It took my boyfriend 3 additional attempts to complete our order, as it seemed she had no patience or manners in making sure we ordered everything, it just seemed like she wanted to serve us as quickly as possible. On top of this, I could also hear the two members of staff making hot drinks gossiping about another member of staff or customer in direct earshot of all the customers waiting in the queue. We then sat down, and had drinks and a scone brought over to us. About 15 minutes later, we saw the waitress from the till and another in the kitchen looking confused, to which she came out and shouted in-front of the whole cafe, to which everyone went silent ‘has anyone moved from that table?’ And pointed to a couple we were mid meal. Everyone said no, to which she then read out an order which happened to be ours and said ‘I’ve got you two as sat down on that table’. At this point, I felt incredibly awkward and flustered, and quite annoyed that she felt the need to do that rather than approach the other table and/or us to sort out a simple mistake. Not only that, but it felt somewhat like she was blaming us as opposed to a mistake she had made. Our food then came. Overall, the food was average at best, if not below average. The paninis lack flavour, and the scones come ready made with jam and cream inside them that have been sat in the fridge on display making them very dry, the cream hard and the jam tastes cheap. The hot drinks we had also came boiling hot, meaning we couldn’t drink them for a good 10 - 15 minutes. If this wasn’t enough, I could see the worker in the back preparing food wearing an apple watch, no apron, and I did not see her wash her hands in between handling different meals. I admit that I am not particularly knowledgable about establishment food hygiene practices as I don’t work within this sector, and they do have a food hygiene rating of 5 as of April 2022 however I could not help but feel slightly alarmed by this. Overall, I felt incredibly uncomfortable and awkward eating in this cafe and my experience only got worse the longer we stayed there. The staff need some serious training in customer service and just genuinely need to change their attitude to seem like they care for their customers as opposed to making us feel somewhat like a burden. We will not be visiting here ever again.

I have visited Peacocks for many years recently call for coffee most days but found members of staff very abrupt and rude They frequently seem to be unhappy and not friendly at all The younger girls seem nicer but some staff constantly rolling eyes and commenting on their colleagues Not professional and need training in Customer service We customers are not an inconvenience we pay your wages

Called in for a currant scone and a mocha. Quite a while since I've been here. This cafe is always clean, tidy, airy and has a welcoming aura. A little too much chocolate in my mocha, for my liking. I still consider this place to be in my top 2 cafe's in Chesterfield. See photo.

Absolutely disgusted!!! Breakfast was awful. Cheap of cheap ingredients used including sauces. Served us blue mouldy toast. When this was pointed out we were offered a drink on the house!!!!!! Stay clear if the breads mouldy what else is used past sell by

Been visiting Peacock over the years but not been for a few weeks now. Think staff need to take stock and avoid complacency. Coffee was very weak and poor in taste. Bacon sandwich,,, as with another recent review the bacon was marginal in quantity and quality. Pleasant staff and fabulous setting but need to improve, if I have the same experience next time I will not be back !! plenty of other options in our lovely town of Chesterfield......

Very disappoint on Monday 6/9 Had coffee which was ok Had toast the butter was put on before bringing to table it tasted like margarine normally butter was in a small pot to spread when eaten if this is how it is going to be served I will not be calling again

Lovely service. Lovely courtyard. Lovely full English breakfast. Nothing more to say. Just lovely. Even had lovely weather.

I really enjoy my visits here. The place is clean, the menu varied and the food and coffee delicious. I visited 13 April for a latte and pannini which were both absolutely lovely and very reasonably priced. The staff are very welcoming and efficient, it feels as though nothing is too much trouble for them. I would recommend the Peacock to anyone wanting breakfast, lunch or just a delicious cake with their drink served in pleasant, clean surroundings by lovely attentive staff.

2 people at 10am - Simply went in for a bacon sandwich and a drink. They describe it on their board as ‘crispy bacon sandwich’. The sandwich was anaemic, lacking much bacon, made on normal white sliced bread (not fresh) but worse of all the blonde til lady was very abrupt with us and lacked friendly customer service skills. Sent the sandwich back to get crispy and they looked at it confused and loudly spoke about my polite request. Many other nicer places to go - I won’t return

We have been coming here in and off for a few years,always found it nice,good food and friendly service.e like to sit out in the courtyard in warmer weather.The upstairs area is warmer in colder weather and rather cosy.The last couple of times we have visited we have noticed a change,you have always had to find a seat then go and order and pay at the counter and that's fine,but we have noticed is when you find a table they haven't been cleared of cleaned down,there are hardly any menus(and on asking one of the waitresses her reply was you have to have a look around on one of the other tables)when good and drinks came which were really nice,I asked if they had any mayo and was told again to have a walk round there should be some on tables.I did think that was rather rude as she just walked away,I seemed to spend most of my time getting up and down looking for things,I hope things improve I know it was a little bit busy but don't think that's much of an excuse.

Good coffee and service was quick. Did get quite busy but there's extra seating outside and upstairs.

We met our friends Sue and Steve in Chesterfield and after a wander around decided to have a light lunch. We went to Peacocks but downstairs was full so we went upstairs which was very quiet. Pat and Steve had bacon and cream cheese bagels, Sue had beans on toast, I had a scone and we all had tea. Very nice, well priced food and drink and very relaxing.

Called in whilst in town. Didn't realise they had a really nice upstairs area. Nice and cozy on a chilly day. I had a mocha with cream and a jam and cream scone. Quality ingredients and tasted really yummy. Bit of a hidden gem, but in full view. Will make this cafe my first choice when in town. Got some quality art work for sale too.

A lovely historic building with lots of seating for the cafe. We were there on a busy day and were told of the wait. Our coffee was good and our food was served within the time stated. Great value.

Trevligt ställe med mycket mackor, bakverk, kaffe och te... Mysig innergård och fin övervåning, ofta med trevlig konst på väggarna.

Just had to leave a review as what a fantastic Breakfast....Called in this morning as we was searching for a decent breakfast. On arrival we was greeted with a friendly and hospitable lady who was very attentive. Throughout the complete service, nothing was too much trouble and the ladies that was working there never stopped.If you are looking for a decent breakfast at a reasonable price then search no more, this is the place to go.Thanks for looking after us Ladies...Lancaster Couple

I have a dairy allergy & was prepared to order a black coffee, so was pleased to discover I could have soya or almond milk. As I also can't have soya I went with a large almond latte which came in a nice big cup & was lovely & creamy tasting. The staff are friendly & I felt relaxed sitting alone with my latte & a book. I picked up a loyalty card as I plan to visit regularly.

i popped in for a coffee and to meet up with my mum,nice friendly welcome and will return to try the food,lovely old building and a garden outside to sit when the weather is good,very reasonable prices.

Fab food and friendly service. The specials menu was great and very reasonable priced. When we arrived in Chesterfield we found the area quiet midweek half term, most places a little overpriced for a coffee and sandwich. Then we found Peacocks. Great place

We visit here on a regular basis and have a superb breakfast every time! There is a lovely atmosphere and the coffee is great!

The space downstairs is very small and gets busy. We were told about the seating upstairs, but unfortunately my mum and dad can’t get upstairs. A table became available and we ordered some drinks. They do soya milk, which is great because I am a vegan, but there didn’t appear to be much on the menu at a glance. I’m sure they could make something if you asked. I had tea, which was fine, but everyone else had coffees (cappuccino and lattes). They said it was far too hot and the milk had been burnt and had formed a film on top of the coffee. It’s a very average place. Plenty of better places in Chesterfield to go to.

We just had a light lunch and coffees and sat in the very pleasant courtyard in the back. There is also a spacious lounge upstairs. The paninis were excellent and very reasonably priced.

Lots of coffee places in town at the moment, but this one has an excellent outside courtyard area now that the sunshine has remembered to come out in July.

I visit Peacocks on a regular basis. The breakfasts are tasty and excellent value for money. The fresh cream scones are delicious. Friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended by myself and my family.

Ottimo cafè per uno spuntino , un te oppure una cioccolata calda coi mash mellow! Locale unico, da vedere!

We called in today for a coffee and a bite to eat we had to wait 40 minutes for a sandwich and a panini when the panini arrived it was luke warm when asked how much longer was told there was a back up of orders not even an apology all the staff had there hair down with no hair nets on and the all had nail varnish on

I went to Peacocks with a friend and our new babies. We were looking for somewhere for lunch but as we both had prams with us we knew it would be tricky. We went into Peacocks on the off chance there would be space for us. We walked in and left as there wasn’t a big enough free table. As we were walking away one of the waiters came after us to say he was putting two tables together for us. So we went in and had a lovely lunch catching up. The staff were really helpful, would definitely go back, especially with my little one.

Stumbled across this on a recent visit. The building looked lovely and theirs lot of room near the counter, the lovely courtyard and upstairs with a lovely barn roof. The building is its main selling point. Upstairs there are no menus except for one on the far wall leaving you having to upset the people underneath it staring at it. Prices are ok, mainly light bites £5 and up. Had a nice jacket potato but the chicken curry filling was lovely til i got a few hard chicken pieces and the side salad was quite basic, banana milkshake had the faintest taste was frothy milk . Didn't see a kids menu but my daughter was fine with a potato, the older lady who brought out our food was so stern she had been lovely with other customers but we got food plonked down and no eye contact smile or anything, luckily its not somewhere we visit often. Also upstairs bathroom facilities were very very tight when you have a small child to take in and hard to get down stairs with a young child if they carry the food up the stairs at the same time too.

Visit this coffee lounge regularly,reasonable prices,lovely latte & delicious wholemeal & date scones.Clean & comfortable establishment.

Great Coffee and great piece of cake a real busy little place, with a friendly atmosphere. Will be returning

We had breakfast here on 2 mornings while staying at the Wetherspoon Portland Hotel - which is literally 2 minutes away - and were very pleased with the food we had. There is an extensive menu and all freshly cooked to order at reasonable prices - and prompt service. The one thing lacking was a fried egg option!

Set in a black and white historic building off the market place, this café has more space than you think as there is an outside seating area as well as upstairs set apart from the main counter and indoor seating. Order at the main counter and the food is delivered to the table.

We popped in here for a breakfast, last minute. The building is beautiful, the service friendly and swift. Despite the price of a breakfast, the serving was small for a large and the sausages were those awful overly processed ones made of 0% meat, 100 % cheap filler.

We popped into the Peacock Coffee Lounge on a bright, autumnal day in search of solace and a sandwich. The location of this place is perhaps it's best feature, tucked away on the side of the market square with a quint curb appeal. Further still, there is the added bonus of a great outside area, which I am sure will be overflowing when the summer sun arrives.

Was passing through Chesterfield and stopped at this lovely coffee shop. On offer was Hot pork sandwiches and couldn't resist. It was really nice and plenty to eat. They have a great variety of cakes and sandwiches which you can eat downstairs or if you prefer there is a comfortable lounge upstairs.

Stumbled across this lovely coffee shop in Chesterfield. Small coffee shop downstairs with lovely area upstairs with lots of comfy sofas and tables. The hot pork baps with apple sauce are delicious. The staff are really friendly and the cakes looks scrummy.

First time I've been there for years, was pleasantly surprised, enjoyed a cake and pot of tea with my sister who I was visiting.

A first visit for lunch; you place your order and then find a table but after realising this left the queue to find a table first, could be awkward for a solo visitor. I had the special panini and my goddaughter the chicken tikka baguette. We both enjoyed them but were surprised that the drinks arrived after although only by a few mniutes. Would prefer table service but particularly so if sitting upstairs. Would visit again, be advised cash payments only

What a lovely place, good coffee and even better cake. Fab for a quick pit stop between shops. Friendly and polite staff and most of all clean, highly recommend.

We popped in here for coffe & cake whilst walking in Chesterfield town centre and were very pleased indeed. You order your coffee etc at teh counter, and then find a table. We headed upstairs into the lovely half timbered first floor and had excellent lattes & cake. All good quality, and good value as well. The service was pleasant & fast - a real find since we simply walked in not knowing the place. Well done Peacocks!

Today myself, hubby and our 5 week old baby visited Chesterfield. We fancied calling for lunch somewhere 'nice' rather a quick Greggs lunch, and my husband suggested The Peacock. As a new mum, I was feeling exhausted and couldn't wait to sit down and eat. As soon as we walked in, I felt as though we were an annoyance because we had a pram and this made me feel very unwelcome and uneasy.

Popped in for food as hadn't had lunch whilst shopping. I was with my wife and baby. The waitress serving was very stern. She scowled at us on entering and said "oh you've got a pushchair'.

My friend and I popped in for a cake and coffee today and we were very pleased. I had a slice of wonderful chocolate orange cake. it was delicious and very moist. My coffee was lovely too. Great service, they could not really have done any better

A very pleasant lunch with excellent and courteous staff. Highly recommended for a quick lunch with good food.

Peacocks is not very large inside and there is a raised area so not really wheelchair friendly.We only had a coffee and a hot chocolate , the coffee was good but the chocolate was flavourless.

This little café is not really suitable for wheelchair users as it is small. They do have a room up a flightof stairsandextra seating down a few steps into a lovely patio area. They provide a limited amount of gluten free food. it is always clean, but prices a little high forme. Worth a visit.

A good choice of reasonably portioned cakes in this town centre cafe. Good quality coffee to go with the cakes. Fairly priced. Clean establishment

Rather quaint looking coffee shop/cafe right in the heart of the shopping area.

Good variety of sandwiches, jacket potatoes and soup available for lunch, with lots of inside and outdoor seating and quick service.

Lovely building and quite pleasant inside, there is no lift and the upstairs is difficult if you have mobility problems. I only encountered two members of staff but both were very pleasant. The downside I'm afraid was the coffe and cream scone, I had a latte which for me was much too strong and bitter and the scone was very uninspiraring. It was very cold as though it had been in the chiller cabinet for hours. The jam was strange and very lacking in fruit, no idea what flavour but it was red. I do prefer to be given the scone with the jam and cream in little pots so I can put them on myself. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.

Love coming here for a catch up with my auntie or nanna- it is cosy and comfy and has all you would expect for a coffee lounge

Been to this little cafe many times whilst in Chesterfield. The soup and warm roll is always good value. Hubby had a cream cheese and bacon bagal which came with a separate pot of cheese which was plentiful. The bacon was nice and crispy. I just had a toasted tea cake which came nice and hot with butter. It was a lovely sunny day so we sat outside which was really pleasant. Always find the staff smiley and pleasant so quite surprised at negative comments on here? A great little cafe for cakes etc. Will be back.. always busy!

Visited with a friend for lunch. Because of my allergies I was only able to choose a plain jacket potato with salad which I'm happy with. The woman serving me rudely said that will be dry. I explained about my allergies & she showed me a gluten free menu. I unfortunately still was unable to have anything, adding that as well as being coeliac, I can't have dairy. She then suggested I have cheese on my potato. I asked if it was dairy free & she said no then said she didn't know what things are dairy! I really think a person that works in a food establishment should know the basics such as which food contain dairy. Shame really because it's a nice little place.

Lovely little coffee shop near the market, just had tea and water and almond slice and chocolate brownie cakes. Very nice and served quickly by friendly staff.

Staff are very unfriendly, abrupt & unwelcoming & they Don't seem to listen to what you ask for. It wouldn't hurt for any of them to smile when there serving you

Busy little cafe in a lovely Tudor building, possibly the Guildhall in an earlier life! Service quick, food excellent, staff friendly, what more do you need?

The setting is pleasant however the service was abrupt, the milk in my coffee was scalded and the cakes cold. A little disappointing that the coffee menu advertised a "flat white" but the barista didn't know what it was

We went here for lunch whilst shopping, the staff were friendly, and the food was very good, we had the special which was a pork and stuffing baguette with apple sauce which came with a side salad, it was very tasty, they do lovely cakes too, there is also additional seating upstairs with comfy sofas, all in all we had a very pleasant lunch.

Visited here on Saturday 26th March with my family . Due to no room downstairs we had to carry our grandsons Pram upstairs, which wasn't the problem. But, once we were settled we were told that there wasn't a waitress service so, back downstairs to order the food and drink . I ordered a cheese and pepperoni panini . When it arrived it was the worst painini I've ever had, infact my glasses case was bigger. It couldn't have been any flatter if it had been rolled over by a steam roller. The filling was the smallest ever..... Five of the smallest ,thinnest pieces of pepperoni I've ever had . The panini was about 2.5 inches wide and the cheese didn't even cover the width of the bread!. Talk about thin, the chees must have been cut with a razorblade. It's the first time that I've left an eating place hungry,and the cobwebs hanging in the corner of the room would put any Halloween party to shame. The place is all front and no filling. First and last visit.

Whenever we are in town we pay a visit to the Peacock. Excellent coffee and equally excellent food. tI is a two storey building , lt used to be the town's tourist office. The service is excellent. Order at the lower floor till and a waitress brings your order to you. \the same goes for th upstirs accommodtin. . I recommend teh peacocccccck

Bumped into a friend in chesterfield & called in the Peacock Lounge for coffee. She is a regular here, staff were very friendly, it was a warm welcoming place on a wet morning.Our drinks tea & coffee were good also the scones & flapjack .A nice place to call in when in Chesterfield.

Met friends for lunch here. The downstairs coffee lounge is quite small and crowded, so we went upstairs for lunch. This is the downside. You order your food and drink at the counter which is downstairs, then to get upstairs you have to go outside, across a covered yard, up some very steep stairs and into the restaurant area. Not good for the less mobile, and a bit of a pain if you want another drink or more food as you have to go down, and back across the yard, into the other building where the counter is. You pay (cash only) as you order, but the food and drink is brought to you. The hot drinks were hot, which was good, and so was the food, delicious paninis. The staff were very pleasant. We sat in the comfortable surroundings for over 2 hours catching up with our friends and we were never made to feel we ought to move on It was our first visit, but won't be our last.

Visit here every week for coffee. Very friendly staff. The coffee is always good and, more importantly, is hot which you don't get in most franchise coffee shops. It must be doing something right as they have a very loyal clientele.

I think this is a nice little coffee shop and was very busy when I visited so must be popular.

We met our friends Steve and Sue in Chesterfield having travelled from Sheffield by bus. We had a coffee and a chat in the downstairs room. Good coffee and very relaxing. After a look round chesterfield we came back to the Peacock and had lunch in the upstairs room. excellent food and very good value. Atmosphere again very relaxing. I would strongly recommend the Peacock.

I meet up with my mum every other Saturday morning here. We only dine simply - a toasted teacake and a large latte. The food quality and service is excellent. A real gem amongst the coffee shops of chesterfield.

Simple fare menu but with pleasing choice and always presented well and tasty, the outside and the upstairs are a favourite lunchtime haunt of ours. Back garden is a real treasure in the Summers. Reasonably priced, nothing fancy but the paninis are lovely. Will keep coming back.

Staff pleasant, efficient, polite. Cafe clean and food good. Prices reasonable What more could you ask

While visiting Chesterfields Flea Market, stopped in here for a light lunch , quick service well run, clean, nice food .. Would recommend here. Great spot if you sit near the window for a people watching on a busy Market day. Lovely old building also.;)))) Loved it here.

Went back to the Peacock for the third or fourth time today, 4 July, with expectations of great service and delicious products and I wasn't surprised. The team running the shop really understand service and the place is very well run. Despite being a busy cafe you never wait for too long, the scones and coffees are to die for, keep it up!

What a find! Enjoyed a very tasty pepperoni and mozzarella panini washed down with a glass of wine. I opted to sit in the courtyard enjoying the sunshine, this is certainly a small piece of paradise tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the busy market town.

Went in for a bite to eat and a chat with my friend. Had a panini and a coffee. Both absolutely delicious. The outdoor seating area is a real sun trap. We could have stayed there all day. Service was great and staff were really friendly.

I've been in here several times and every single time the food has been amazing and the staff so friendly and courteous. Definately will come here again

Me and my son both had a panini for lunch each costing 4.20 with salad garnish it would have been cheaper else where but probably not as good quality the latte was extremely hot which was a change your general coffee shops the drinks tend to be colder I would visit again and recommend to others

Very nice food, hot drinks and atmosphere. Surprisingly large selection and superb service. A brilliant way to escape from shopping. Highly recommended.

Visited this coffee shop for lunch, and we were really disappointed. They had sold out of jacket potatoes, so the only other 'meals' were bread based - Panini or Sandwich. My mother in law struggles to eat bread, but opted for a Panini, as did my husband - I have never seen such thin, small Panini's! The salad garnish looked a bit pathetic and like it had just been thrown onto the plates. For the price, it was a very disappointing lunch, and we won't be going back again.

Another wonderful meal at this cafe/restaurant,and such friendly staff.If you like paninis, jacket potatoes or even just a homemade cake with a tea or coffee I couldn't recommend anywhere better.It is a licensed cafe so you can get a glass of wine or even a beer,and very reasonable prices ,two paninis,a pot of tea,and a j20 came to about £12.00 which I feel is excellent value for money ,when you think what you can spend in fast food outlets,and you have nice peaceful settings.

Dropped on this place when I was visiting Chesterfield in the new year, never seen it before and was surprised to find out it had Been open 10 years. It's lovely place with great service and food. Will defiantly return.

Il locale è meraviglioso, ristrutturato e accogliente, very british, merita una visita!

Had a really lovely cosy time in this well sized coffee shop considering it it a medieval building (OPENED BY DIANA) HRH, we was served very quick with a smile, good coffee, they have a upstairs and also the cups are pretty large so you get a good amount for your money. Didnt try the food but from what i saw it looked really nice, there hygiene rating was also 5***** rating too. I would go back if i ever go the chesterfield again.

Me & my sister go there every week , it's a lovely 2 tier cafe, with a lovely lounge upstairs, as well as downstairs ,& they do a lovely cappo & very tasty bacon butty too, & they've got lots of lovely cakes , & the staff are always very friendly. It has a lovely attmosphere about it too.

Pleasant staff and a good range of food on offer. The only drawback was the cold from the door as a lot of visitors did not shut it behind them or stood having a conversation in the open doorway.

On a recent shopping trip to Chesterfield I went for a light lunch to The Peacock Coffee Lounge. The atmosphere in this very old building with oak beams was very pleasing. Varied menu with Jacket potatoes, panninis and baguettes. I ordered from the specials board a hot turkey and stuffing baguette complete with salad and it was delicious with a cup of fresh ground coffee. Good value at about £6.

We live in Sheffield and visit Chesterfield on a regular basis on market days.We use this little restaurant because of the quality of the food and the good quality coffee served by the nice friendly staff. they have a nice courtyard outback which is nice in summer and the indoor area is always warm and inviting.

I have lived in Chesterfield for 4 years and often thought how lovely this coffee shop looks from outside but never been inside. I have no idea why? A friend suggested we meet there for coffee today and she also recommended the custard slice. I now find myself in a position where I can recommend people try this place (and I can also recommend the custard slice!)

This coffee bar a great place for fresh coffee and food.

We spotted this rather nice looking coffee shop on our recent visit to Chesterfield. Looks lovely from the front, looked nice inside and had a rather nice seating area at the back. Ordered coffees, scone and cake at the counter and a very nice lady said she would bring it out. The scone was very good, the coffee OK but the cake was a bit odd, not sure if i liked it or not. the toilets although very clean were tiny and i had to lean over the loo to reach the paper towels and wait as there was only one ladies, which seemed odd as it is not a small place.

Very nice building matched by the service and product. Having not been to Chesterfield before I had no idea were to get a lunch time snack. I asked a market trader who told me about this lovely place. If you ever visit this town please go to peacock coffee shop, you won't be disappointed.

May 28th I had my birthday party in the function room,,,,The catering was excellent,the service from Staff could not be faulted.............Atmosphere was lovely...............

A great coffee shop in the Market area of Chesterfield. Snacks and coffee were very good, the service prompt and friendly, with a fine atmosphere. As an American touring around this is the place to stop if shopping at the Chesterfield market.

Nice coffee, very quiet little place. It's not the kind of place I felt comfortable to have a chat with my friends. It was mostly full of older people.

We have been to this café a few times. It is usually busy with a good atmosphere. It is a lovely old building. I was disappointed with my coffee. I ordered a cappuccino but it was more of a watery coffee with froth on the top. The coffee tasted ok but it just didn't have the texture. My husband's flat white coffee was scolding hot. The vanilla slice was delicious. All in all a pleasant place to stop but I would hope for better coffees next time.

I visited here on Friday 17th January with a friend for brunch. She had been before with her mum it was my first time.

how can a business that gets 5 star hygiene rating and be shown as a best practice by chesterfield council / food standards agency in a magazine possibly use a bleach to clean tables ?!!! this coffee shop is fantastic and it looks to me that someone is either a competitor or just a chancer wanting a free meal!!

I can't believe how malicious some people can be. I am a regular customer of peacocks, and having once been in the same trade I know for a fact they would not use bleach to clean the tables. It is not allowed. Also the council do regular spot checks and this includes inspection

My friend and I went for lunch. We ordered 2 paninis. We sat down at a dirty table a member of staff offered to clean it. She sprayed the table/jacket and off she went. After waiting half an hour it was plain to see they had forgot our order so we had to tell them. They gave us ONE free drink as an apology for our next visit. When going home I noticed my £78 jacket had bleach on the arm where she had sprayed it. IM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE OWNER ABOUT IT!! Disgraceful

Great place to stop and refuel when shopping in Chesterfield. It's always busy but the service is usually fast and friendly and coffee good and hot. Not a place really to linger for a chat as there is always someone with an eye on your table but other than that I always end up here when in town.

Great little coffee shop/cafe at the bottom side of the Market square. The coffee is very good and they operate a loyalty card for this and their pricing is very reasonable. They serve great bacon sandwiches and the terrace outside at the rear of the building is excellent on a fine day. Would certainly recommend.

Visited on Thursday 24thOctober 2013. The choice of food was very good.Staff were excellent and friendly.It was very busy which is a good sign. The quality of our sandwiches and amount was good.We will return when next in Chesterfield
