Peacock Restaurant & Stag Lounge in Mendip

Ordered from here many times but today the baguettes are stale!!! Not impressed. We may have to consider going elsewhere, which would be a shame because I’d rather support a local business.

Awful service. We booked a table for the six of us and we were all really looking forward to the meal, as we’ve always thought that it looks like a lovely restaurant. We were waiting for over half an hour before our drink orders were taken and another 30 minutes before they appeared. We ordered two charcuterie and cheese boards as starters between us and it took over 40 minutes for these to come out. When they came out, each board only had two tiny pieces of cheese which had clearly been broken off a slab a cheese rather than cut. At £18 each these were extremely disappointing. We were then waiting another 45 minutes for our mains and when they came out our starter plates etc had not even been cleared. We had been in the restaurant for almost 4 hours by the time we left as a result of the long wait for any service. The restaurant wasn’t exactly busy and the staff were standing around most of the time. We asked to take off the service charge at the end of the meal due to the poor experience and the waitress was rude and did not apologise for the poor service. Will not be returning.

2 night stay that was faultless from start to finish. Stunning location, amazing room, warm welcome and nothing too much trouble. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, staff work so hard to ensure your stay is made special and your furry friends enjoy it too! Food superb, great service, and little added extras are charming. A little bit of relaxing luxury away from it all in a lively, friendly atmosphere and quiet peaceful location! The Talbot has it all in spadefuls!! A very special find that we shall continue to enjoy over the years!!

Ive been trying to call to book a table for a big party of us wanting to visit for an evening soon. All I seem to ever get is the answerphone??

Interchange Cafe is a lovely new family-owned cafe right opposite the Interchange train station. They have a wide variety of menu items so it was difficult to choose because everything sounded delicious, but I ended up going for the broccoli and tomato quiche and a latte. The coffee was the cheapest one I've found so far, and it tasted great! The quiche was probably the best I've ever had! The family who works at the cafe are very friendly, welcoming, and attentive people. Highly recommend for anyone living in or coming to Bolton. I'll definitely be coming back.
