Staff introduced themselves and were very attentive and efficient. Both our meals were very tasty and beautifully presented. We enjoy good food and the Peacock didn't disappoint. Interesting combinations of flavours which worked well. Well done, good team work!

Visited today for Sunday Lunch in a group of 8 . Sadly the Lamb was inedible. After mentioning this to the staff I was offered roast pork was was also tough. It does appear as though their using inferior meat. Shame as the starters & desserts were excellent. This is our 3rd time @ this pub / restaurant but after today we definitely will not be back.

Came on a wet and windy Thursday evening - every table was full. Which shows the popularity. Food and service were very good. Food has 30% off until end of Feb which was a bonus. Would recommend booking.

We had a fantastic lunch after a walk on the moors. My daughter is coeliac and the gf range was great. We shared the scotch egg starter, which was one of the best starters I've had in a long while. Will definitely be going back.

Our meal at The Peacock was unfortunately disappointing. The first course and nibbles were very good. But we both had dull and heavy main courses. Sea bass on the menu was with roasted vegetables but I was given only potatoes with an over-fried oily fillet. My husband’s ossobucco was indigestible. We both had indigestion in the night, my husband a bad acid reflux. We are sad as we love the other hotels in the Longbow group, and are regular customers. The Peacock service was excellent, the toilets good, and the ambience friendly and comfortable (if a bit too crowded and busy).

What a fab restaurant. Highly recommend. We contacted the team ahead of our visit due to having allergy requirements. The manager phoned back to chat about our needs and offer reassurances and explanations about menu alterations. We are so grateful for this kind and professional approach. The waiting staff were really friendly and super helpful, making everyone welcome and comfortable. The food and drink was lovely, all 9 of us really enjoyed every bit. Decor gorgeous! We'll definitely be back. Thank you so much!

first tine visit, we ordered glazed pork belly, confit duck leg, pie of the day (steak pie), extra portion of triple cooked chips. the steak pie lack of vegetable, it may be the modern trend chefs do not like to cook vegetable. the glazed pork belly was not good, it did not have glazed characteristic. the confit duck need more time to cook, it did not melt in mouth. confit duck did not accompany with potatos or chips, ordered triple cooked chips, when arrived it was fries and soggy. the cooking oil was not fresh and been used for long time. I attached an image of triple cooked chips receipe. please let the chefs read it

Dropped in for lunch. I had Slow-cooked ossobuco with truffled potato purée, sautéed kale and bourguignon sauce With white chocolate & passion fruit crème brûlée served with shortbread biscuit and berry coulis for dessert. The food was superb and Amelia who served us was absolutely wonderful, really professional, friendly and just all around lovely. I'll certainly be coming back ☺️

We had a fantastic meal at this pub. Our waitress, Amelia, was faultless - really friendly and efficient despite it being a very busy Sunday. The food was delicious, loads of gluten free, veggie and vegan options. We had two children with us and they were very child friendly and I also noticed some dogs there too (ours was at home). Would give this place 10/10 over and over for the experience we had today.

Firstly. If that was the January slow month , your all gonna have to book from February onwards. It was massively busy for lunch. Infact. Only a couple of small tables were free unless you braved the outsides. We were welcomed and were found space as walk ins . Food was excellent. Everything came out looking bistro style, fresh and unpretentious. Staff were proffessional even under huge pressure. Plenty of management on hand pitching in. I can't fault it in any way. Was it perfect.No, but for the amount of people , the quality of the food served and the excellence of the staff. I'd say it was as close as you could expect within human abilities. Locals were very much at home. Dogs were treated well, whims were accounted for. Really. This could have been a top notch place in the lakes except the prices were much more competitive. You have done wonders. I wish you well. You have a bright future. Keep up the hard work. You deserve much success and custom. We will definitely be back.

Four of us went for Saturday lunch. Amelia served us. Very efficient and lovely. Three enjoyed their main meal but one was disappointed. The Sea Bass was overcooked and the awful purple potatoes hard. Strange flavour combinations. Expensive for just under £25. We were so looking forward to going to The Peacock as we all love The George and The Maynard Arms.

Vegetarian burger was good. Peach crumble was ok, but not amazing. We were sat near the door so had a cold draft every time someone came in/left which wasn't great. Vegetarian selection is very limited (burger, a salad or a cauliflower dish), and so I don't think we will be back until they do a menu refresh - especially as we overheard the table next to us complaining that the salad they ordered was missing half the things that the menu said it contained. In addition, the service didn't match the price point.

The place has definitely improved from our previous visits before this group took over. We shared a Scotch egg which was excellent. I had noodles with prawns which was very good but my wife was disappointed with her fish and chips - fish nothing special and chips overcooked. The “feedback” system doesn’t recognise the code we had and doesn’t list the food we had - out of date?

We called in lunchtime midweek as we had been many times in the past and always had a good meal, however we did not realise it was no longer a Chef & Brewer. We found that there were no longer a variety of classic dishes to choose from. We opted for the Seabass and the Chicken dishes and found both underwelming as the portions were small and quite bland and both were accompanied with only a small amount of veg and salad. We did by chance notice on the table was a card stating 30% off meals at the moment which was quite fortunate as all the meals were at least 30% more than what you would find in quite a few pubs in the area so taking all this into account we will definitely not be returning and would not recommend to others as everything seems very expensive for what you get. We both commented that this was the first time we can remember having had a pub meal that we left the establishment feeling hungry

Excellent choices on the menu. Pork belly starter was just right and full of flavour. Both mains, lamb shank and fish &chips were well cooked, nicely presented and very very tasty. Pear and fig dessert can only be described as “yummy”. Service was very good and the waitress polite, pleasant and professional. I wasn’t aware of the special discount on offer at the time so that was a nice bonus Beautifully renovated with a charm and ambience on a different level.

Went for Sunday lunch . We had to wait nearly 45 minutes for our table, people were coming in after us and being taken to tables including the private area as an overspill We ordered our food then the waitress came back and said there was only 1 beef left. We said we’d have that then she said there was none left That annoyed me having waited so long for our table, I wouldn’t expect at 2.15 for Sunday lunch to run out I then opted for chicken supreme and again After a very long wait, it arrived and I couldn’t believe my eyes, it was a chicken wing or the smallest chicken breast I’ve ever seen in my life with no supreme sauce I complained to the waitress who said sorry and brought me another piece of chicken which was again the size of a chicken wing The food was very poor and we were very disappointed with the quality of it On a positive note The staff were super lovely and very apologetic but I certainly won’t recommend it to anyone We were going to go to the Cheshire Cheese in Hope and we all wish we had

Big disappointment, yes they have been operating 4 weeks, but steak shouldn't be chewy and tough, chips should have crispiness about them? It was my wifes birthday and I had high expectations, we gave our feedback gracefully, we paid in full and even tipped our server, but the birthday turned out to be a flop... Really hope they turn things around as we really want new businesses to make a success of things.....

Had a 'great British pub voucher' and after a lot of research picked this place off the voucher website as it looked really nice. After a 40 minute journey we arrived only to be abruptly told the pub had changed owners and no longer accepted the gift card (zero apology), a wasted afternoon for a family who very rarely gets a day off together. The owners need to liaise with the voucher website so others don't get duped into wasting a rare family day out.

From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent. A smile greeted us and we were shown to our table immediately. We informed our waitress, Ruby that my mum was colieac and she explained the owner is wheat intolerant and that most of the meals on the menu are or can be adapted. She also knew that colieacs can also be affected by cross contamination so will check that any meals we order are prepared separately. Ruby was excellent, very knowledgeable about the food and preparation needed for my mum. The food came quickly and the service very friendly and efficient. The food was superb, really tasty and presented very well. Highly recommend this place and all of its team. Well done and thank you for making my mum feel so at ease with her colieac requirements.

Decent tasting food but overpriced for the quality you get - compared to other places in the area each dish is a couple of quid more but no better. Service took far too long. To eat three courses took almost 3 hours. Insane wait time and not informed as to why or given any decent apology or acknowledgment of the poor service. Staff were friendly but doesn’t make up for the chaos. Heard all of the surrounding table complaining about wait time too

Rob and his team have done a fantastic job with the refurbishment – the place looks stunning, with a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. The food was exceptional, with every dish cooked to perfection, and the service was just as impressive. A special thank you to Leona, our waitress for the night, who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Her friendly and attentive approach made the evening even more enjoyable.

The pub has been given a new lease of life by new owners @longbowvenues . This pub is a beautiful old building every bit as lovely as their other Venues. You are welcomed by friendly service, a roaring fire and beautiful cosy interior. 🍽️The food is of course wonderful and ever reliable as at all longbow Venues. We were spoilt for choice by their broad menu but tried a mixed meat sharer starter which was super tasty 😋. Mains were a wonderful beef and red wine pie, stuffed to the brim with large steak pieces- they really are the best here! We also tried the lamb shank Rogan josh which was a fantastic winter warmer with lamb that just fell apart - beautiful. 🍰The dessert menu is also impressive, and we chose Bakewell tart, and a Minni pavlova - the perfect way to finish a meal. 🍷We also loved the wine, and tried their house white and an incredible dessert wine to finish the meal. 🌱Almost everything on the menu is gluten free , and there are plenty of vegan options here too! There is something for everyone. 💸We highly recommend calling by soon to take advantage of their opening deal of 30% off -

We visited on November 1st, 2024, and sadly, it was quite a disappointment. While the bar staff did their best, the kitchen service was very underwhelming. By 6:30 PM, they had already run out of the special main menu on the board! The food took a long time to arrive, and when it finally did, it was subpar. The steak & ale pie was more air than a hot air balloon and hardly had any meat. The crust was burnt and tasted like a heated-up frozen pie. The chips were clearly shop-bought oven chips. This was not the level of service we had experienced before. We left feeling quite disappointed. It seems the place is being sold, and I hope the new owners can bring back some quality!

First time visit. While the wait time for our Sunday lunch was more than we would have expected, the food itself more than made up for the delay. The slow roasted rib of beef, cooked on the bone, was perhaps the the best roast I've ever had, utterly delicious. Dessert was equally good (bakewell tart) I would definitely recommend a visit.

Ordered a mixed grill and a fish pie. Both underwhelming in size compared to price. Especially disappointed with the fish pie and the grand total of 3 prawns and some shavings of salmon and cod all in a very shallow dish. If the meals had each been £5 cheaper it wouldn’t have felt so disappointing. We decided to go elsewhere for dessert and more drinks.

We booked online prior to eating here on a midweek night. The place was not overly busy so could have just walked in without a booking. Nicely spaced out inside and we were not seated too close to others, so could enjoy a private conversation. We ordered two different meals, one of which was really enjoyed (pork belly) and the other found distinctly average (burger). We have eaten here before and it would not put us off returning to try different dishes.

Following the review below, we returned for another meal as their usual standard is excellent. We were not disappointed. Everything was cooked to perfection. The gressingham duck pie was amazing. We are so happy we returned. We ordered off the main menu this lunchtime as we had an offer. Usually we order off the lunch time menu and have never been disappointed. This afternoon it would have cost twice as much and was extremely disappointing. The lemon and thyme hassleback potatoes were bland and not crispy. I would be surprised if they weren't cooked earlier and warmed up. The vegetables were tasteless, and the sea bass was ok at best. The pork in apricot sauce didn't taste of apricot, the charred leeks were chewy and not charred. I did tell the staff when they enquired if everything was ok that I would never order it again and that it was extremely bland. He said he was sorry. I've recommended this place to loads of people, but would have been embarrassed if they'd come today.

Tried an evening meal as a treat here on a midweek evening in September. Although the online booking system appeared to allow bookings upto 11pm, the restaurant was very quiet by the time we left at 9.15pm. Staff were friendly but too busy with other customers to be aware of and ready to welcome guests on arrival. We waited over 30 minutes for our main course order to arrive. Food portions were rather begrudging in size, especially given the premium pricing for this pub chain. The halibut was quite small in size and the pork belly was served as rather overcooked and almost unrecognisable slices rather than a traditional "square". Alcohol prices are again, "premium" - e.g. £6.25 for a pint of lager. My recommendation - Register for Chef & Brewer's pub offers to make a visit here more affordable and the meal sizes slightly more forgiveable.

Had a few good meals at the peacock but was a bit underwhelmed with the Sunday roasts. My partner had the beef rib which was nice but can only assume they forgot to add the gravy jug so was a bit dry. The pork loin was just 2 thin bacon rasher sized strips so disappointingly small. Checking menu afterwards suggests it should have come with stuffing but didn't. Had to send the broccoli back as it had black bits in and was going off and the replacement had the same. Thankfully the desserts were delicious and it is a lovely pub. Hopefully just a bad day!

We have eaten here for a number of years. Last year it went seriously downhill food wise including causing food poisoning in my sister. My daughter and I heard it had changed hands and had upped it's game - we weren't disappointed. In fact, we were astounded. The menu is more select but with dishes with a twist (try the Lamb Shank Shepherds Pie). We both had amazing meals that elicited mmmms and aaaaaahs from us as we ate. Combined with an excellent glass of Marlborough Sauvignon we have no words to express how we felt on finishing our meals. However, I hadn't finished yet. I took Matt's advice on dessert and plumped for the Vanilla Slice - I couldn't have guessed what would arrive, three layers of puff pastry filled with ?Creme Anglais and chopped strawberries accompanied with white chocolate ice cream and raspberry coulis. We are still talking about the food 3 days later and have booked a table for when my poor unfortunate sister arrives back in the UK next week. Our thanks to Matt and Cez - amazing serving staff who were friendly, professional and willing to give recommendations and advice. But biggest thanks have got to go to the chef - WOW, what an experience - you are amazing. Thanks to everyone at the Peacock - your haven't just upped your game it is now stratospheric.

One of our party had the Lamb Shank Shepherds pie, she said the lamb was really tender. Afterwords, we had the small pudding with a drink. I had Sherry trifle - a beautiful little cup of trifle with a topping of double cream on top… so tasty! Add onto that, the lovely attentive staff and you have a wonderful combination. We were served by Keisha, a really friendly lady who does the Peacock proud with her enthusiasm. Always a pleasure going here and well worth the drive.

We trusted online reviews and weren‘t disappointed. We were well looked after during our spontaneous diner at the Peacock by Jess and Tod. They served great and healthy kids options. And our kids cleared their plates. We loved the slow cooked lamb and the mushroom pie and the desserts. They also had a thoughtful corner with dog treats and dog blankets. We would definitely recommend!

Very good lunchtime spent with my family at this lovely pub. Two of us had the cheese toasties, which was 'lovely but a very large portion', one had the fishcakes and I had a vegetarian option with pea puree, coronation chickpeas, and halloumi which was DELICIOUS. The service was first class no complaints whatsoever - highly recommended.

£4.29 for a sausage roll and it’s only a bite size. Would have been cheaper to go for a carvery at my local Very disappointing

This is a very friendly pub with a good atmosphere and very helpful staff. Very well organised. We had a big issue with the steak for one of our meals but they dealt with it very well. Leona looked after us well.

Absolute gem of a restaurant & public house. Booked by phone, automated service, confirmed within seconds. Disabled parking. Lovely warm incredibly professional welcome/meet & greet on arrival. Spotlessly clean inside (all areas). The menu is divine & caters for all (children too) Dogs welcome & even have toys, treats & water on a designated table. Roaring cosy fire The staff couldn’t do enough for us special thanks to Jess & superstar Ben who went above & beyond all expectations, so polite & nothing too much trouble at all. Star employee! The food was hot & presented to the highest standards and absolutely delicious . Good selection of beers/wines draught & bottled. All served In quality glasses. Would highly recommend to anyone at all. Ample parking, easily accessible from back & front. Well done guys for running such a beautiful dining & watering hole! You deserve to thrive! Thank you so much Amanda Garrington

My husband and i have been to the Peacock a few times and are always struck by the friendly and helpful service and great food. Today we shared a Camembert and a garlic mushrooms to start, the Camembert in particular was excellent with lovely sides. I had the pork belly which was very well cooked with flavoursome mash and gravy, but would have benefited from a little more sweetness. My husband had the signature burger which was incredible! Our server Matt was attentive and friendly, checked in on us at appropriate intervals and made sure that we were happy throughout. Thank you for your excellent service, great drinks and lovely food.

We arrived and the place was super busy with a party going on in the front rooms. We were greeted and seated by a lovely lady and waited on by macy. We did encounter communication with other staff and all were really friendly and lovely. Service was quick and efficient and all staff were hard at work after a busy Sunday. This was our first visit but will return in the future. Thanks everyone!
