Attended Dinner at Eight on a Friday evening, it was relatively busy but not packed. The service both on arrival and throughout the evening was great, very friendly and attentive throughout. The food was good and plentiful and being able to see the food presented is a bonus as it helps making a decision when torn between multiple choices. Overall, a good experience and evening out.

We arrived at 7:30, shown to our table. Ordered some drinks and was provided with some appetisers. The starter did not arrive till 9:00. We asked for the wine selection to complement the food. The wine was very unique but not my taste and the waiter replace one of my glasses. Main course arrived shortly after 10:30. In summary the food was exceptional but the service was extremely slow. We left without coffee, as the machine was broken, at 11:45. Considering the bill was £200 for 2 people we will not be going back.

I booked for lunch for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and my mum's 70th birthday, I wanted something special for them and special is exactly what they got, the lunch was fabulous from start to finish with great choice and something different to try. The restaurant felt relaxed and not at all rushed. Everything was amazing, the high tea looked fabulous too definitely one to come back and try. Thank you to the attentive staff and thank you Peck for a wonderful experience. We will be back and we are already recommended to friends and family.

If you have experienced "Dinner at 8" at Pecks in the past, prior to the change of ownership, don’t be fooled (like we were) into booking again! The "theatre of food" used to deliver in terms of experience and cuisine. Certainly, the departed head chef’s talent and standards are a critical factor in Pecks decline, so too are the challenges of creating stunning dishes from modest ingredients in the current economic climate. Meagre portions, reduced choice and poor quality provisions will impact any culinary experience. Economic challenges aside, the kitchen crew thought it was acceptable to serve a bland and pitiful variety of mostly soft, tepid mush and the owners put a value of £65 per person for the privilege. It was certainly a memorable 16 year anniversary meal. Appetisers - they were OK but not up to former standards. Soup - we both opted for sweet potato. This was literally puréed sweet potato of baby food consistency. No depth of flavour and completely unseasoned. Just too thick, sweet and bland. We had a bad feeling that things didn’t bode well. Starter - looked ok but 7 tiny balls of mozzarella , some tasteless tomato spherules, olive oil, a tiny sliver of what I assumed to be sundried tomato. A small leaf of basil and two small sticks of what seemed to be brioche soaked in burnt garlic oil, resulting in a minuscule unseasoned dish which was bland and left a lingering bitter aftertaste of over-roasted garlic. Do we bale at this point? No, we’ll stick at it. Main course (first attempt) - 7 tepid unseasoned cubes of lamb approx. 1cm squared which were tough and tasted only of garlic. These were sat in a course sour puddle of tzatziki. Accompanied by a croquette potato that wasn’t crispy - plus literally 5 overcooked green beans. This was sent back. Trying not to spoil our evening but let’s see if they can fix things. Main course (second attempt): 3 stringy pieces of pan fried chicken (less than half a breast). 3 bits of mushy microwaved courgette - completely annihilated. The return of the sweet potato purée in the form of 3 sweet, unseasoned soft breaded balls. Together with a walnut paste that resembled the colour and texture of the content of a new-born's nappy. BTW no seasonal vegetables to accompany as promised on the menu. At this point we bailed. The wait staff were apologetic and explained why things have changed. Following some discussion at reception we only paid for our drinks and were given cheesecake to take with us. At home, the Pecks signature rum and raisin cheesecake was bland, separated and included a soggy biscuit base with only a hint of essence of rum! It wasn’t fresh. We binned it. Heck, even the decorative grapes have shrunk. I feel sorry for the skilled chef de patisserie who is apparently still in post and clearly unable recreate past triumphs in the current climate. For those that opt to endure Pecks, It’s a lot of money to pay for such a poor experience. For slightly more, you could dine in a one Michelin star restaurant and have your mind blown! For considerably less, you could eat well in one of the many surrounding restaurants and actually taste something! Please consider carefully before you book a table.

Purely my view but for the price the food did not match it, the chicken dish actually tasted of nothing, not even chicken which is a hard thing to do, the cheese board is 3 tiny pieces of cheese between 2 people and everyday crackers, the beer at £7 a pint is very expensive, also adding 15% on the bill at the end is not great, he did say you can take that off but this is something he has to input and in the middle of the dining area which really puts you on the spot, so approx £150 for 2 was way overpriced.

I had afternoon tea here with a few friends and it was lovely. Parking was a nightmare but the staff offered to move their cars for us. There was a lot of food but more sweet than savory items. There could have been more sandwiches to balance it better. I also had to ask for top ups of tea and coffee, the staff were friendly but not very attentive after we had been given the food. New review. I went with my mum for lunch and wasn't impressed with the main chicken and mango salad. The dessert was basic. But the starter was good. Honestly not worth the money.

Pecks has always been known as 'the place' to go around our local area, but based upon our last visit, has had a bit of a decline. We were in for 3.30pm, but they didn't even take our drinks order until 3:50pm-ish, and only then because we asked if we could place an order. Understandable if they were busy, but we only saw three other tables than ourselves. The food itself was mediocre (and again, we had to ask when it would be arriving as it seemed to take forever). Whilst none of it was bad per se, a lot of it was relatively bland (the quiche, the pork bon bons etc.), which was a bit disappointing. The sandwiches and the hedge berry tart were very nice however, it must be said. In terms of atmosphere, there wasn't one really. We all left and remarked on how there was no music playing, only for one member of our party to point out that there was in fact music being played, albeit very quietly. It couldn't be said that the noise of people talking was covering the music, as everyone around us (and including us) was relatively quiet. Instead, we just heard the clash of cutlery and the like, being dropped again and again. The lady that brought us our drinks order and the food, however, WAS very attentive and helpful, I feel it's only fair to point out. I know some of this seems relatively nitpicky, but for a place that positions itself as the perfect dining experience, it just didn't hit that mark. I can only hope this was all a one off - but either way, we won't be rushing back.

Food is excellent, service exceptional and atmosphere can be what you want it to be. We went for our Anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed, not just the food but the pampering from the staff. Nothing is too much troubled and they showed and described the food so well and we understood every course option. Thank you to all the staff at Pecks for making or night so memorable. It's not our first time and definitely not our last.

First class establishment with a lovely relaxed ambience. Amazing food, and friendly, helpful staff. An experience to remember and I would say a fantastic place to have a special celebration. For me and my husband, it was our 13th wedding anniversary, but we're low-key, so we didn't want any fuss, and the staff spoil you anyway. Can't compliment the place enough, and we'll definitely be back to try the afternoon tea and Sunday lunch.

All style and not much substance. The food looked nice but was incredibly bland and not particularly generous. The service was slow and everyone else in the restaurant had ordered the afternoon tea, which comes with fish and chips…nice idea but the room soon stank of fried food. They only advertise three courses and we only wanted two. Surprised to find that the bill was only reduced by a couple of quid without desert. What a shame - won’t be back.

Pecks really do birthdays well. I mentioned on booking and arrived to a card and balloons (which would have been an extra charge elsewhere). Also received a complimentary dessert with sparkler. The service was great, the staff are obviously very passionate about their roles and take them seriously. A wait for drinks service despite arriving at 7.15 and had to chase but the restaurant was full and it can't be easy seating so many for one start time. The food is very good and 8 courses is plentiful, I found it possibly a little more homely than other fine dining experiences but it's certainly very good value for money as they are priced lower than others in the area. We had the beef which wasn't great but maybe this was a one off. I feel a little bad leaving 4 stars as the good points were really good and again it is very good value for money, I just expected a little more of the beef for the rosette rating and the wait for drinks was long. If these points hadn't arrison I'd have happily paid £80+ for the menu. Thank you for a lovely birthday experience overall.

I booked an afternoon tea for me and my elderly mother for Mother’s Day. I was expecting dainty sandwiches and pastries etc. however we received chunky portions of bland overcooked mediocre food which lacks finesse. When our pots of tea arrived, we were asked if we’d like milk! Surely that’s a vital part of English Breakfast tea? The haddock in tempura batter was overcooked, the beef bonbon was lacking flavour and very dry. The lemon drizzle was missing. On the plus side the chocolate trifle (not a trifle) was delicious. Overall, a lovely setting and friendly staff but lost its wow factor when it comes to the food.

The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. I haven’t eaten such good food for such a long period of time (4 hours duration) since my lovely Grandma’s delicious French banquets. The staff were lovely and attentive and worth every penny of their tip. Will visit again and take family & friends next time. Highly recommend for all foodies.

I last visited Peck's for a birthday in December 2022, and had the a la carte menu. It was quite good at the time, and I remembered this when I was making my booking for Valentine's Day, and was excited to sample the 6 course special menu (which is not cheap at £60 a head, but I paid much the same the previous years' VD at the Post House in Stafford.) We were greeted nicely, and lead to a intimately lit area and immaculately laid table. First impressions were good. Issues raised by other Tripadvisor reviewers, in regard to poor quality of service, or a cold environment, were not present. The house was packed out, and our anticipation was high. But one problem, and it is a big problem, reported by others and experienced by myself: the food is terribly bland. I didn't expect big portions, but I did expect a great taste experience, and on that score, it fell very flat. Do the chefs taste what they are sending out? The dishes that they prepare may have great presentation, there's no doubting that, but the experience of eating it was a major let down. I left disappointed, and feeling that I did not get good value for my expensive meal. A shame.

Service was perfect and staff were friendly but professional at the same time. My friend is dairy and egg intolerant and they certainly went out of their way to accommodate her. She rang prior to our visit to enquire about food options and the chef rang her back to discuss meal choices. Thank you for a wonderful birthday lunch and I’m sure we won’t leave it so long before we pay you another visit.

We ate Christmas Lunch last December and could not fault it. However, today we went for Lunch. We were both massively disappointed. The overall complaint is that the portion sizes were small ( and of little taste) considering the price of £29.50 each plus 10% service. The fish in my fish & chips was over battered and the fish content was hardly noticeable. Also it was overcooked. Definitely our last visit.

We visited Pecks on a Friday afternoon in January. We had been gifted a voucher for Afternoon Tea for Christmas and chose to use it in January when things are always a little flat after the festive period. We had a lovely time, the food was wonderful and really tasty. The Afternoon Tea is excellent value, so much food and, unlike other venues, a good mixture of sweet and savoury items. We could not finish it all but were provided with boxes to bring the rest home, so nothing went to waste - only our waists 😂. The ambiance at Pecks is always lovely and the service was excellent as always. Thank you. We would definitely recommend!

Nowhere near how good it once was. Still the same great, theatrical service but all portions are smaller, the cheese course is an embarrassment (there used to be so many choices available - now it's just 3) & there seem to be fewer desserts on offer & only described these days, not always shown. Worse still is the removal of the opportunity to take along your own bottles of wine during the week. This is a big mistake - visiting Peck's is already an expensive night out & with their cheapest bottle of wine starting from £31, it was a brilliant concept. How disappointing that they would take this opportunity away from customers. Many changes have been made to Peck's in the last few years which have only been for the benefit of the owners & to the detriment of customers. We won't be going back. Instead, we've taken our business to the nearby Legs of Man which serves a 5 course dinner for around £32. No frills, no theatricals but great tasting food beautifully presented & served by lovely staff. And with bottles of wine starting from under £20, we don't feel as though we're being ripped off either as it's much better value. Sorry Peck's : you've shot yourselves in the foot with your greed.

I wasn't expecting much and wasn't disappointed, but that's me – I was an early adopter with respect to food allergy and intolerances and Pecks offers a set menu: it doesn't seem fair to be negative about something not within their core competence; anyway, after we'd finished our meals, we went home and made baked potatoes to fill up on and that improved our day no end, even if the sweet course was by no means insipid. I can say, though, that our waiting staff were poorly briefed and seemed inexperienced, that there was a terrible lag when it came to receiving all the items of a given course and that the members of the party who were dining from the unexpurgated menu found their first two courses wanting in flavour. However! There were tablecloths! Tablecloths, well-off patrons* and fabric hand towels** in the rest rooms. There was ambience! Pecks was an alloyed delight for us, but one cannot fault their intent. *heaven forfend the term 'Karen' could ever have applied to any of their number. **place in the bin provided after use.

We’ve been going there for Xmas dinner for the last few years now. Initially the food was really good but gradually got worse- I literally had half of the carrot and 1 potato on the plate this year along with a veg wellington which I wish I didn’t order and the spoonful of fruit as a fresh fruit salad for a dessert. While I understand that they have a lot of bookings and the standard of food can slip, the service is truly shocking, if you want to order a drink I would suggest to order it day before and it might arrive 2 hours after your arrival to the restaurant following day, when ordered other drinks, only half of them arrived and had to chase the rest multiple times- we did 3rounds and each time it was exactly the same. It’s not any quicker to order the food. Had to ask for a bill few times and in the end got up, put my coat on and paid on my way out. Won’t be returning next year for sure

We very much enjoyed our Christmas Lunch. My wife commented that the turkey was the best she had tasted for a long time. We will have no hesitation in visiting Pecks again.

Had the afternoon tea. Ordered both the normal and gentleman's between 4 of us. Preferred the gentleman's and felt it was more filling than the normal. Will certainly do it again.

Went for our annual anniversary meal, although we do go other times too. As usual the food and service was up to their usual exemplary standard and we left feeling well satisfied with all aspects of the experience.

Went for a significant family birthday party and was very impressed with choices on menu, friendly and efficient staff, excellent room and cleanliness of facilities. Bit of a long way to come from North Wales, but well worth the trip and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you for making a special occasion even more special.

Every time we’ve visited Pecks it’s been an excellent dining experience. For a restaurant which seems in the middle of nowhere to consistently provide such great food and service is no small feat. From arrival at 07:30pm till leaving at 11:45pm the staff were attentive and knowledgeable and it’s unusual for a dinner service to last this lengthy period and never a dull moment ! Thanks again to all the team.

Absolutely shocking, although i live local and over the years had heard some good reviews we thought we would give pecks a try, without doubt the overall level of quality, service and value was disgustingly bad, we came away early feeling absolutely robbed, had better...

This is an updated review, the one further down describes a visit a year ago when I gave 5 stars. This time the service quality had dropped. A very keen and well meaning waiting team seemed uncoordinated (insufficient training or leadership on the night?)....we had to ask for the wine three times and then complain before it finally arrived.....different waiting team members would ask us the same question over menu choices etc. Food quality also seemed lower than on previous visits. Still a decent restaurant, but good restaurants continually strive for excellence, rather than trying to keep things at a borderline acceptable level for this (AA rosette) level and price point. Previous review below.... Visited on a late November Thursday evening, when the restaurant was only about half full. Standard and speed of service was first rate. Food for the 7 course meal of the usual high quality, especially given the price. Very good wine list and reasonably priced.

Sunday Lunch at Pecks is always good. Great service from attentive staff. Fresh local ingredients cooked to an excellent standard. 4 of us had starters, mains and dessert as well a a bottle of wine to share for a quite reasonable price.

My first visit to Pecks. We went with family to celebrate my birthday for Sunday lunch. Our party included 2 children. We were all highly satisfied with the food choices and the service was very good, attentive but not intrusive.

Visited for Sunday Lunch - whilst we were really impressed with food and service and value for money let down by a mistake on the bill - didn't notice till we came away we had been overcharged for drinks - the next door tables drinks had been added to our bill - not something you would expect to happen from a professional establishment like this - had to go back in and ask for our money back - not the best end to a lovely meal

We had waited a long time to visit this restaurant due to us selecting the menu for Dinner at Eight which most impressed us and unfortunately we were left extremely disappointed. It was freezing cold in the restaurant. The experience was very drawn out. The quality of the food was poor and it felt like canteen food being bought out on a conveyor belt. The bill came to £153 which did not include any alcoholic drinks. We didn’t stay after dessert. We were underwhelmed and disappointed with the entire experience. We will not return.

I took my wife for her birthday the night was going well until the bar manager decided to give a fellow member of staff a dressing down in the entrance if that wasn't bad enough he then decided to inform staff behind the bar about staffing issues as we were trying to pay , whilst I appreciate these type of issues need to be addressed I just felt there was a time and place we among another couple were waiting to pay it just put a bit of a damper on the birthday meal for my wife
