Peacock Inn in Bromsgrove

Lovely little pub with a great atmosphere however the standard of food had dropped on my recent visit compared to last time I was there. There was only one server so everything took a long time to come out. The squid starter was very small and strangely presented with random bits of squid on the plate. My mains (pie) was great, but my mums risotto not so good. Kids menu was good. I would return but I'd pass on the starters and hope service was faster.

Took my parents for lunch..... they fell in love with the place. Lovely staff, good atmosphere. Good food, great to have a special lunch menu, nice choice, smaller portions, just perfect, thank you❤️ 9/4/24 Returned today, staff lovely and kind. Food good and hearty 18/12. Not changed a bit! Thank you Returned again, such cheerful helpful staff, thank you especially Kirsty

We were actually disappointed coming to the peacock inn after hearing good things - we brought my mother in law for her 70th. We booked a table and after being initially shown to it waited ages to be seen - about half an hour until they came to take our food orders and then ordered the only kids vegan option to be told they didn't have it (there was nothing else veggie and dairy free so they had some sides cobbled together). The food was fine, one was a bit cold, although no one came to check. When they eventually came to clear away we asked for desserts and were told they didn't have any of those either because the freezer was broken. It would've been nice to have been told this at any point before the end of the meal. So all in all just a bit of a rubbish meal out, which could've been improved by better staff communication.

Went for a drink on a sunny afternoon on a Sunday, impeccable vibes

We had a fabulous lunch at the Peacock and it was our first time visiting. What a great find. Everything was perfect - very tasty and well seasoned food, great decor and the cleanest pub I have ever visited. It is also great value and good portions just right. What sets it apart though is the outstanding staff. Firstly Kirsty welcomed us and then we were served by Evie. Both ladies were fantastic in their friendliness and brilliant customer care. They are a credit to Chef & Brewer. We will definitely be returning.

Ryan was great, serving a table of 8 with a lovely smile and great enthusiasm, will definitely be back! Great food and lovely atmosphere!

Every time we go I always have to send cauliflower cheese back to be remicrowaved or at least so its hot and able to be cut. Disappointed me every time. Last 2 visits the vegetables look like tinned not appetising... but KIRSTY was wonderful x

Stunning country pub serving beautiful food and a variety of drinks. Food arrived quickly.

We took our mother for sunday lunch today Tom and his team as amazing as lovely food and great atmosphere We will be back soon

Keira was our waitress fab service so lovely and polite gave us great desert advice beautiful food always with my 2 friends don't need to change very organised fab chef top nosh thankyou x

Great evening out. Keira was a friendly, fast and helpful waitress

Nice pleasant pub in the sticks

Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely hot food, served us quickly and with a smile. One of our favourite places to come in the week. Thanks so much.

Love this place so much especially in good weather so you can stay outside although it is beautiful inside as well. Great menu lovely staff

Lovely location, great food, good beer and great staff. Everything you want in a pub.

Wonderful oldy world country pub

Great food, lovely setting gets busy on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Great service too, staff were very busy but were great.

A lovely venue, really good quick service. Food was great, would definitely recommend the fish and chips. Fries were good, but enjoyed the chips more. Overall a great meal.

Came.for a meal last night.and Olly was new at serving. He was very polite.and got more.confident as the evening went on. He will be a excellent waiter in the future. Good work young man!

After a previous, great visit, decided to go again, this time as a party of 8. We arrived early & all of us at various times & we were more than accommodated. The service didn't suffer, the staff were still brilliant and were really attentive. The food was great and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening!

Lovely atmosphere and cosy place to visit. Keira and the rest of the staff are very helpful and smiley making it a welcoming experience. Good choice of food and drinks. Will definitely be visiting again soon

So 11 family members gathered for 80th birthday celebration meal. Our booking was for 7.30pm. We all arrived and ordered drinks. At 8pm we ordered our food, but when the last order was taken, they were told there were no more Sirloin or rump Steaks left.. One of our party changed their order to accommodate the last one being able to have Sirloin. Not a good start. Then 10 mins after ordering, a member of staff came over and told us they were one Steak short of our order, so again another member could not have what they wanted.. when I asked, why on a Saturday, they had run out of Steaks. I was told the chef had been on holiday and when he returned, forgot to place the food order. Surely it's in the interest of the owners of this establishment to check these things happen and not rely on the person who does the cooking. It's their business after all. Other people, who turned up after us were all informed of the shortage. No member of management came over to apologise, no reduction in bill or any other form of compensation. Needless to say if a business is this badly run, it's probably worth avoiding. Especially as one member of our party had travelled from Merseyside to be there. Will not be returning. If you read previous 1 and 2 star reviews, this is not the 1st time this has happened in the last couple of months. Somebody called Tom is replying to reviews saying they will learn from the issues raised. Clearly, they are not.

Lovely atmosphere. Lovely pub. We were served by Tom. He was excellent

Beautiful beer garden, lovely pub! Friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

First time there good food and Tom the barman excellent service.

Excellent service,Had my nans birthday meal today table of 11. everything was spot on the two young ladies went above and beyond. Thank you again.

The food was lovely and a great table and atmosphere! The staff were very accommodating to a change of menu request which was very kind!

The best rib of beef I’ve ever tasted. Staff amazing 🤩 highly recommend 🥰

Lovely service amazing staff would hightjy recommend

Went to friends who live in Kings Norton and they suggested we all go to the Peacock Inn for lunch. Restaurant was not very busy so we were served almost straight away. Two had the cod & chips, one had smothered chicken and I had the duo chicken. The food was perfect, our meal order was taken by someone who was training but was supervised. Ryan brought us out our meals and looked after us, he was a very friendly person and it seemed nothing was to much trouble.

Kirsty our waitress was amazing very friendly and helpful. Food was hot and very tasty definitely coming again.

Food came out very quickly and the waitress Keira was very friendly and attentive having a lovely aura about her.

1st visit, service from Rose was great. Food and drinks were all lovely

Lovely country pub. Food is always delicious.

We had a lovely meal here for my husband's birthday. Food was lovely and the service was excellent, thanks Kirsty.

Have been coming often over the last 18 months and we are very happy with the service and staff are very friendly even when we bring the dog.

Perfect 👌 Ryan was really nice and happy to help 😊

Booked a table on a Sunday. Barman saw me stood at bar but couldn't be bothered to serve me . Disgraceful service. Will never go to a chef and brewer again

Brilliant food,atmosphere was as good and friendly as the staff,will definitely be returning

Cute little pub. Ryan was super friendly and accommodating :)

Family visit from Somerset. Table booked for 6 for 8.The rooms are well decorated and nice Atmosphere. Drinks order taken quickly ,then food orders My mom only eats small meals. She was last to be served first they brought out a mixed grill then came to ask what we ordered the starter of mushroom what a waste of money 2 tiny covered in cold sauce on a cold plate. Then her chicken strips undercooked and dripping in oil. And no chips we cancelled them as she had someone else’s.Brother in-law had the fish it was still raw in the middle he left it. My food was ok I had the smothered chicken but it had a weird taste possibly the BBQ sauce my partner had mine. But 10/10 for dessert. Would I return no not for food but I like the beer garden.

First time l had been to this pub in years but it won't be the last as the food was really good and the service excellent, professional and friendly.

Not bad service was good but stretched meal although reasonable lacked appeal

It was our first visit and definitely won't be our last. Friendly, professional, dog friendly, family friendly. Food was gorgeous, we had the Sunday carvery.

Lovely food, great service. Would definitely go back.

6.30pm on a Saturday evening (party of 6), we ordered one gammon egg and chips, Sorry we are OUT of eggs? Another in the group ordered a steak pie, it was almost still frozen in the middle when delivered to the table. Not to be visited again!

Food was good enough but the drinks were too expensive

Wonderful food breakfast was lovely Service from Tom excellent

Tom and his team were very pleasant. Tom helped us with are choice and also helped with my dietary needs. Well done. You all work very hard.

First time visiting here nice pub and food will visit again 10/10 thank you

Service really bad today (Sunday 2nd March) They offered butter and didn't bring it They offered ketchup and didn't bring it We had to return the steak twice as we requested no blood. After the second time the waitress seemed to ignore us from then on and not collect our plates or offer us dessert. Finally we had to get up and walk to the bar to request our bill leaving our dirty plates still on the table. Feeling very disappointed as we've been using this pub for years

Really enjoyable been here several times never dissapointed. Highly recommend.

We often come to the Peacock as it is local . Unfortunately this latest visit was depressing due to the music , really down beat and we both feeling depressed , didn’t even want to stay for a pudding ! Please please change the genre of music

Got to be one of the most excellent country pubs for a wonderful meal. Food and service both fantastic.💘😄.

When we arrived the service was excellent but resturant was still quiet. The meals came quickly, the pie was mostly pastry with very little filling, the Sunday beef well done not pink as described on the menu, the veg seemed to be frozen veg not fresh (or very overcooked). Desserts where ok nothing amazing. We seemed to be forgotten after this, waited 25 mins and no offer of drinks or the bill. Eventually we shouted to a passing waitress for the bill. The resturant had a good atmosphere and was busy.

1st time here, the wife has been before........Very nice friendly staff and atmospheric evening, enjoyed the food and dessert was banging, will return again.

A super valentine's meal tonight. The food as always is excellent, the staff are always friendly and helpful, today we got the table by the lighted log fire. Just perfect. Thank you for making our night wonderful.

The food was not as good as it used to be, the children was rubbery, the pie didn't have much meat in it, the chips were also not very nice. We were not asked how the food was and we had to go up to find someone to pay. We were disappointed with our experience which was sad as we have been going there for years and it was our favourite place to go for celebrations.

I had the 3 courses menu.Chicken strips, Steak ale pie followed by Apple tart.the only negative was that the apple tart was microwaved which made the pastry soggy and the icecream was placed on top which made it go cold quickly. Other than that the food and service was excellent. definitely recommend this restaurant.

Good food venue, well kept Greene King cask ales

This is a lovely "country pub" nice beer garden for the summer. Nice menu that changes. Nice place for a meet up with mates

Ran out of so many things on the food menu Service was very poor such a shame

Went at lunchtime,main course,drink and coffee under £20 Great service Another 5 star review The lamb shank delicious, drink,coffee and mini pudding total £ 35. Great service, always a friendly welcome

Warm and friendly good selection of food - good portions, tasty

Very friendly staff great service

Spectacular lamb shank shepherd's pie, a great glass of mabec too

5 months ago left negative review which manager responded, do tried again yesterday and can say glad I did, had great food and service to match the always great atmosphere. Special recognition of Kirsty and great friendly service.

We went to the Peacock for Sunday lunch with family. Despite living in the area all our lives, we have never heard of this pub/restaurant and what a find it is! The food was so tasty and the service and attention were 2nd to none. We will definitely be back bringing our immediate family with us. Thanks so a great experience.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, lovely staff! Would highly recommend!

Brilliant place for relaxing with friends I am coeliac it nice to be able to have vegan pudding

The premises were welcoming and a good atmosphere, the service was excellent and the food was excellent.

Me and my partner came for a lovely 2 course meal and were not disappointed, we usually come here when we have time for a meal together and always enjoy it. Our waitress was lovely as well (had a few tattoos)

Excellent choice of food and drinks in a wonderful atmosphere. Thanks to Nicola for looking after us.

Ordered mashed avocado - served with dry bloomer bread. Not enough bread and cold gave benefitted from a little butter.

Tom our server was prompt and knowledgable. The food was good and the atmosphere is lovely.

Stopped here for lunch today fantastic food great staff and very welcoming definitely eat here again

As a family we expect a little bit of magic when you book a quite expensive Christmas dinner, when we arrived the pub was very basic with hardly any Christmas decorations, the barman seemed very miserable with no merry Christmas forthcoming, there was no table cloth on the table just 4 crackers, hardly Christmassy, Staff seemed very rushed, we sat down and received our welcome drink, although no drink i.e. orange juice for the children offered instead of the bubbly for the adults, the starters were brought out more or less straight away after only being sat down for 5 minutes and again all very rushed, my starter was salmon, not very much salmon either and not smoked salmon just crumbed small pieces, good prawns though, the starters were finished and table cleared and more or less straight away the main was brought out, very very rushed, its like give us a chance to digest the starter, I ordered the steak as I'm no fan of Christmas dinner, my steak was cooked to perfection, the rest was fit for the bin, the potatoes were in my opinion were deep fried, all very over cooked, rubbish veg that clearly had been sitting on the side for some time, there was peppercorn source in a small vessel but no gravy for the veg, all very dry, not worth what we paid, again the table was cleared and i had to ask for a break before the puddings, the puddings turned up about 10 minutes after i asked for the break, if you are struggling with the capacity reduce it so people have more of an experience especially with it being Christmas, very poor indeed and we wont go back

Fantastic restaurant with great quality food and friendly service. Staff, particularly Keira, were all very friendly and quick, we did not feel that we had to wait at all. The food was simply amazing. And to top things, the atmosphere is very cozy, relaxing and importantly the place is spotless! Finally, the automatic lights in the car park were a nice touch.

Evie was great! Super attentive and always on hand if we needed anything else. Food was delicious and the setting of the restaurant is cosy and modern.

Nice place good service. My food was borderline, gammon overcooked, and chips Luke warm. But others in the group said food was good, but not great. May go again, for second chance, but we'll see how it goes.

Wonderful experience once again at Peacock Inn! Tasteful food and really good service! Well done guys

I'm not one for writing reviews but after one of the worst meals I have ever eaten out, I felt obliged to do so. Admittedly the service was fine, but the food ... I had a Korean chicken duo of which the bit of crispy chicken was acceptable but the main portion of chicken was bland microwaved tasteless chicken with a vile gloop sauce poured over it accompanied with a small pile of tasteless warmed microwaved rice. My friend had the cumberland sausages that he had to leave as they too were tasteless over microwaved nonsense. The next table had fish which while I can't comment on the taste it smelt far from fresh. Apparently chef and brewer are a chain this pub is part of, I won't be eating at one of them again, how can they charge over £15 for microwaved rubbish. There should be some sort of licensing so pubs that serve microwaved meals have to state when it is so you're not conned into thinking it's freshly cooked food.

No drink service in the Bar, had to go round to the lounge to buy beer ! 😪😪

My family spent Christmas Eve at the Peacock for a pre Christmas meal. I have to say from the time of booking to last night when we arrived was excellent. Mia took charge of our party of 10 and dealt with our drinks and food order in a friendly and professional manner. She was attentive to our needs even taking the difficult orders of the children in our party who had difficulty choosing their meals. We were so impressed with the food and service that we are considering booking again for next year. Merry Christmas to you all x

Booked for a large family meal. Food was fantastic. As was our waitress Mia, nothing was too much. We will definitely be back

Had a lovely meal seabass for me wife had the Christmas menu meal only criticism there wasn't enough turkey only 3 small slices.

Cracking Sunday roast in here 👌🏻 has such a homely feel to the place as well.

Mia out waitress was really helpful the whole time making it an enjoyable experience with amazing food

Pub is lovely service is good . It's the 2nd time I have been here and the Menu is OK, but the food is not the best. Six of us had a meal there and only 1 of them was OK . They just need a better Chef...

Mia really looked after us. Food excellent. Can't believe it's so close to Kings Norton- really feels like it's in the countryside. Doesn't feel like a chain.

Had a fabulous meal, drinks were reasonably priced. Staff were brilliant. The new manager is great

Great find. Beautiful pub with great food and service

Good food and nice portions. The service was good also.

Our group Christmas meal - good service, excellent food, nice atmosphere, highly recommended.

Great!!! Food service all great

We five ladies went for a meal and chose from the set Festive Menu. There were only two starters on the menu, as opposed to four offered on the online one, but the main (turkey) I chose was delicious; trifle was okay, but I was told the cheesecake with ice-cream was fab.. There were Christmas crackers on the table waiting for us and the gentleman serving us was brilliant, very helpful and accommodating. Great traditional atmosphere. I'd go back next year.....

Good was amazing, service was great. Tom was very friendly and helpful

A bit stingy with the chips apart from that no complaints

Food was lovely and service was great

Absolutely lovely food and services was fantastic. Tom was so accommodating and friendly
