The Peacock Country Inn Restaurant in South Oxfordshire

This country inn is perfect for a relaxing break in lovely quiet surroundings. The restaurant offers great bar food and the breakfast is 5star. Clean accommodation and very welcoming staff.

Stayed overnight following a business meeting, stayed for Sunday dinner which we really enjoyed, with very good, friendly service from the ladies. The following morning we were asked to help ourselves to the usual cereals etc but we were offered no options, other than a cooked breakfast, so we both had the breakfast, whilst I would have, perhaps preferred a smaller plate, like scrambled eggs, the full breakfast was good, plenty of toast and a pot of coffee. Our room, upstairs, was “cosy” but perfectly adequate for a night, the bed was very comfy, which is the main thing but we did note that the downstairs rooms (the ones shown on the website) were “nicer” - perhaps it was just that turquoise painted furniture that alienated me 🤣 so thank you to the Peacock team…..five stars given for a good nights sleep, friendly service and especially your very enjoyable food. Happy to recommend you. Thank you

One of the best Sunday roasts ever. Thank you.

My partner and I Stayed over at the peacock country inn. On arrival we were greeted by Emma, such a lovely warm welcome. A good friend had called and arranged ahead of our arrival to supprise us with a bottle of bubbly and a couple of ales in our room, which Emma handled with great care and attention. It really captured a special moment for us. The service received was second to none, the hotel & grounds are beautiful and Emma's team are equally amazing! Thank you for your hospitality, it's greatly appreciated. Hopefully we will see you again soon.

Fantastic Inn, great host, great staff, lovely food and very comfortable rooms

Had sunday roast. Accommodated me and my friends despite us not booking. Highly recommend the beef roast, cooked just nice. Great service and it's located in a fabulous countryside location

Stayed in room 25. It was spacious and very clean and well kept. There's plenty of sockets, a large fan and a heater. Views from the room are fantastic.The bathroom was well stocked and the shower is quite powerful. The restaurant food is excellent with a good choice on the menu. The owner and staff was very polite and helpful. It's set in the countryside and is ideal location for a visit to the Chilterns. I would highly recommend. Worth a stay.

We ate Sunday lunch at The Peacock last weekend, and it was amazing. The roast was perfectly cooked, as was the Yorkshire pudding. We both also thoroughly enjoyed the desserts, which we don't normally eat. It's been a few years since we at here, because we are no longer local, but it was even better than we remembered. Can't wait to visit again. An excellent meal, and excellent service, thank you!

We’ve been dining and staying at The Peacock for years because the location is superb. We loved Martin and we can’t speak highly enough of Emma and her team who offer caring, warm and attentive hospitality and excellent pub food. Thankyou for yet another wonderful time. See you next year!

We stayed for two nights with our daughter and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Emma's friendly welcome got us off to a great start. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the patio doors were a bonus allowing us to sit outside and enjoy the view. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent - a varied menu with something for everyone and beautifully cooked and presented. The staff were, without exception,friendly and attentive. The whole experience was enjoyable and we would definitely recommend this family run and family friendly country inn.

We've dined here multiple times and have had good experiences... until the last time, when we were a large group. We had to ask for the menus, then ask to order. We had to wait over an hour between being seated and receiving our food. This is understandable when the restaurant is full but it was virtually empty. When the food came, it really wasn't up to its normal standard: tiny portions and overcooked, tough meat. We passed on dessert! We will return because it's generally much better than our latest experience, with friendly and efficient staff and good meals. Let's hope this was a blip. Update: we've since returned: overcooked burgers in burned buns, minimal chips, tough gammon. The fish pie and risotto were good. Differing portion sizes; e.g., we were advised to have the small fish and chips but the large fish pie! Desserts were an eye-watering £8.25 - we passed! Staff were friendly. We wouldn't choose to return here, due to the poor quality of cooking and over-inflated prices.

It's a great hidden gem, the food is fantastic with seasonal menus. Nice cozy rooms and amazing service, you always feel welcome there. Master suite is beautiful.

The food is lovely and the staff are great.

Three of us went for Sunday roast at the Peacock Inn at 4pm and despite booking in advance, no roast beef left so had the turkey. The food is excellent. If you have 3 courses it will set you back approx £29 each. We had two courses each and it cost £71.79 plus extra with drinks so a tad expensive. The berry pavlova is delicious and the others had the chocolate brownie. The only reason for 4* is the interior was disappointing and needs updating, chairs had rips but dont let this put you off. Didn't stay here but there is accommodation. This inn is nice for a treat in the countryside and easy to find.

Went for Sunday lunch which was lovely and accommodation looked good too. Plenty of parking and good walks

We just had a lovely family get together at the Peacock Inn. There were 15 adults and 8 children, so we booked the function room at the back. Great location to meet with people from all over London and the Home Counties. The food was great and the service excellent. Plenty of room for the children to run around and look for Easter eggs outside. Many thanks to the Peacock!

Stayed here for two nights on business. Great staff. Limited food menu which ensured what they did was good. Steak one night and lamb shank next. Both very good. Breakfast is self serve and nothing on offer if you did not want the Full English experience. The room was good. Drinks very reasonably priced.

We stayed as a large group last Friday and had the best welcome from the owner ; the food was fabulous , the English breakfast was very generous and so nicely cooked including the bacon ! Rooms were super clean and very nice beds too ! Definitely recommend !

We visited The Peacock for a family meal Saturday evening. We had our autistic granddaughter with us, who can become overwhelmed in different atmospheres. The landlady and staff were absolutely wonderful and so helpful to us, they really made our meal an enjoyable family experience. A very inclusive, understanding venue. Food was also great.

It's OK, bit basic, WiFi is iffy, room was sub zero when I arrived but there are electric heaters.. Clean enough..

Good food and nice ales available.

The room was a bit cold to start with and the bathroom washbasin only had cold water. Service and food cannot be faulted. Would return.

Lovely location. Friendly service. Excellent food - went there for a lunch.

Staff extremely friendly, room very clean and well presented. Food was lovely, the same with the general service.

What a lovely little pub. A great location to the lodges we were staying. Drinks and food were lovely. The long hair lad who was serving us was a joy, had banter without trying to be too over friendly. Perfect cook steak and burger. There was a slight wait for food, which is to be expected. The only photo I could get was of my dog trying to be behaved! Reccomend.

Unfortunately they've taken off the meal I liked and replaced it with a mushroom stroganoff which is rather sickly. So shan't be eating there again, which is a shame as it's a nice place

Attending an event in nearby Chinnor we were recommended The Peacock. On arrival Parking was straightforward however May be busy during restaurant opening times I saw no EV charging. We went into enjoy our relaxed overnight stay in this picturesque setting. The room was functional and comfortable with plenty of hanging space and storage for both of us. There was excellent WI-FI , which when we visited was free, although the network is not secure. What made the room particularly pleasant was the opening French doors onto a patio area with views over open fields, no traffic noise here. The approach road , which isn’t a through road, leads only to a quiet residential street All of the staff we met were polite and courteous, queries and requests were dealt with efficiently. The housekeeping was also of a high standard. The adjoining restaurant provided a freshly cooked breakfast with quality produce. We also had an evening meal there for convenience. The Menu was varied enough to offer something for most and was cooked to a high standard. I would recommend checking kitchen opening times as well as booking meals as the restaurant is popular with those from the local area .

A great welcome from the staff. A great comfortable room with a great view of the field, cows and Chiltern. (Room 6). Great evening meal and as always a fantastic breakfast. Would not think of staying anywhere else.

Lovely old pub bit expensive though.

Popped in for a drink and ended up having a fabulous 3 course dinner. The staff were wonderful and the food was great. Highly recommended

Despite having a function on I was warmly greeted even though arrived late evening, was served a lovely fresh roast meal in room. Bedroom clean and bed was so warm and comfortable. The traditional English breakfast was cooked to order and fresh and hot. Lovely hotel, will use again

Lovely picturesq palce, greate drinks and very cosy!

Have been here several times as its our Dad's favourite place to dine out locally. The service is friendly and efficient. Menu is a bit more than standard pub grub. Very well prepared and portion size is not mean, be warned ! Overall a big thumbs up.

A lovely meal with friends in a great atmosphere.

Great service excellent food a little pricey but you pay for quality

What a wonderful find. Excellent friendly service with delicious food. Can't wait to go back.

Superb Sunday roast. Friendly staff.

Turned up at The Peacock this afternoon at 2.40 and asked to sit in the garden and have a drink with a friend. Middle aged gentleman refused saying they were winding up their service even though their sign clearly said that they were open until 3.30. No explanation or apology and when we reiterated that we only wanted to buy drinks not food we were again met with, " we are winding up our service." I would have thought after a prolonged lockdown establishments would have been glad of the custom but it would appear not. So, if you are thirsty I would suggest looking elsewhere. Appalling lack of service.

For a meal, it's excellent. Good service in pleasant surroundings. Good drinks selection, beers well kept. Never tried the hotel, live to close to bother.

Take away for 5 - forJan and Roger Clarke.Martin,Once again a fantastically flavoursome Sunday lunch was had, and so much of it!What a fabulous gravy. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted from a restaurant EVER!Thank you so much and see you again soon, we hope.Jan and Rog

Best Sunday lunch in a very long time .. so glad I took advice from Mr Hetherington who recommended this place. After a 6.5 mile walk the food did NOT disappoint . DELICIOUS cauliflower cheese. Great roast potatoes,Meat sliced not to thick not to thin all perfect ,all the right amount. Other pubs nearby should take note on how to do it right.

My husband and I made a return trip for lunch, and it was just delicious! All very covid aware, and felt safe. Staff were welcoming and attentive, and made us feel comfortable. I often choose fish pie if it's offered, and this was the best I've eaten anywhere. I chose the small option, and it was plenty. Good fish and prawns, spinach, wonderfully rich sauce and lovely cheesy mashed potato on top. I think the cheese might have been gruyere. So good! My husband had beef and ale pie - clearly hand made. The beef had been cooked for 7 hours, so was tender and with no fat or gristle. And it was served with a generous jug of extra gravy! Already planning our return! Thank you to the team!

Enjoyable stay at The Peacock. Staff and management were excellent. Clean room with good views, breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. Sunday roast very good. Will use this hotel again and thoroughly recommend to others.

Good food and pleasant suroundings. Nice area for walking.

Martin and his staff at The Peacock are attentive from the start of your stay until you pack to leave, nothing was too much trouble.Accommodated us with our dog by giving us a larger self catered suite which was really well appointed and equipped with everything we needed.The decor and furnishings were of a high standard and we were very comfortable.We had stunning views of open countryside from our suite, and we were able to walk our dog just outside every day it was perfect.Our room rate included a great cooked breakfast and our dog was treated to a sausage too, she was made to feel very welcome in the dining area.As our son just lives 5 minutes drive away from the hotel, we are delighted to have found such a lovely place in which to stay in on future visit's!!We were just sorry we didn't get chance to sample their Sunday Roast which many local's were raving about!! But for sure on our next visit!!Truly a hidden gem we are glad to have found!

Have stayed here before as we used to live locally and eat there with family. Room was lovely and quiet with a view over the fields, watched the cows grazing and the house martins flitting about. Great shower, comfy bed and had a sticker on the door of the room informing us the room had been "fog treated" regarding the COVID issues. Staff all well trained in social distancing procedures so felt totally at ease there. Free parking and we had a great breakfast before we set off. Martin and team are lovely and we will be back again at some point.

Visited for dinner as a family group having pre-booked a table. We were all very happy with our meals and the staff were pleasant and helpful.

We visited with friends on a Monday evening taking advantage of the support offer. Our first visit since the virus issue. Standards have been maintained, food was excellent with all courses well cooked and presented. A very enjoyable evening.

My wife and I visited The Peacock for a mid-week Lunch during the Covid-19 pandemic. We needed to pre-book a table which is no problem. On arrival we found all Covid precautions very clear and efficient. We sat outside in the sun and enjoyed a very nice meal, home cooked, nicely presented and very good value for money. Will definitely come here again.

Lovely food, a warm welcome and fantastic service. A lovely English country pub/restaurant. A hidden gem. Highly recommended

I visited with my partner yesterday and it was a lovely experience and we will definitely be back. We booked a table the day before and the staff were so welcoming. The food was also delicious with generous portion sizes. We sat inside but you can also sit outside in the garden area

Possibly the best pub I’ve been to in the UK. It has loads of characters, the staff is extremely friendly and the food is just superb. Will definitely be back.

Have had the pleasure of enjoying the Sunday roast takeaway on two separate occasions. On both occasion the food was simply delicious and tasty (as well as plentiful). Thank you to the Peacock Inn’s team for providing the takeaway service - the second time made for an awesome Father’s Day treat. Not only do we look forward to experiencing the mid week takeaway menu, but we are looking forward to visiting the Peacock Inn in person when the situation permits.

Do not do this often but as it was Father’s Day we treated ourselves. Three Roast Beef and sticky toffee pudding. Very nice enough beef for the dogs to have a treat as well. Highly recommend and the service was straightforward. Well done to you at this challenging time. Cannot wait to come over for a Sunday dinner in the restaurant.

Our first lockdown takeaway and what a treat. 2 roast beef 2 pork, sticky toffee pudding, brownie and custard and cheesecake. So much food. Fabulous veg and crispy yorkshires and piping hot and well packed so still hot when home. Great pick up organisation. We will order again. Thank you for making our day special.

We had excellent Sunday roasts (Turkey and Beef) takeaways today. At a time when people are stuck at home, just the thing to provide a lift and a bit of a treat. Really good flavour, portions and quality.

The Peacock is serving it’s phenomenal food as a takeaway service during the Coronavirus lockdown. Safe social distancing is fully observed. Such a brilliant service and the quality of the found is still superb. Thanks, Martin and the kitchen team!

In a time when we are all staying home we need to support our local businesses as best we can. We had a fantastic Sunday roast last weekend, cooked beautifully and well packed so that it was still warm when we got it home!

Drive past this place every day en route to work and wanted to try it for valentines. They didn’t have a special valentines menu but the regular one was lovely. Lots to choose from all fabulously fresh and flavoursome. Three courses each, pate/ beef tomato and mozzarella then ribeye and pasta and then the best brownie and sticky toffee ever! I was gifted a beautiful paper flower as a valentines token. Would definitely come back!

Nice enough pub grub, although our burger was rather dry. Service very good, attentive and friendly. Good choice if you're looking for a pub meal .

The quality of the food here is very good, being a smart country hotel and restaurant, with a proper chef.It is more expensive than most regular pubs, but still represents good value for money because of the quality. Standout dishes are Steak and Ale Pie (at £15.95 it is a proper pie with pastry on all sides and the best I have come across so far) and Chicken and Chorizo Risotto (£14.95).Beer is good quality but a bit of a limited selection (Doom Bar and Side Pocket usually on offer), which is better than trying to serve too many x the actual demand!

Nothing to write home about menu fairly uninspiring with the usual pre cooked pub food. The service was good and the staff very friendly but wouldn't rush back for the food. probably better for lunch rather than an evening meal as expectations for lunch are slightly lower.

Food was average and the bill was far to high

Lovely country pub. Good choice of menu. Great food. Very helpful staff. Comfortable surroundings. Nice place to visit anytime of the year.

We were a very large family group.Meeting up from around the world for the first time in agesWe chose the Peacock as it was local to some of us and we wanted a function room and to be able to stay overnight .The planning and communication with Martin and Gemma was super and everything was lovely..We were very impressed with the quality of the food and service and the atmosphere was very Christmassy.The team are smiley and very helpful and efficient.The full cooked breakfast the morning after was delicious and our rooms comfortable and cosyThank you very much Peacock Inn for making the start to our Christmas so good

We visited as a group of 6 for dinner, the food was all delicious but the highlight was the sticky toffee pudding, by far the best I have ever had! Lovely varied menu, good nice and hot. Staff lovely and friendly. We'll be back!

Fantastic food and service and also a great atmosphere Martin the owner made us feel extremely welcome highly recommended

Visited here a couple of weeks ago to meet up with friends who live near here.

Recently I was staying at The Peacock Country Inn due to having a work course in Haddenham,

We went for our farm walk with our very good friend walked to the pub for breakfast. The food, quality, service and atmosphere were outstanding.😀

This was our first visit to the Peacock and it was very enjoyable. It is in a quiet spot about 1/2 mike down a no through road. Large car park, welcoming entrance and very friendly helpful staff, the restaurant is laid out into 3/4 small rooms which makes each area cosy. A good varied menu with options to suit all tastes, burgers, pies, pastas, fish and steak, not fine dining but good tasty good and good value, average costs foe 2/3 courses and wine and bottle of wine per couple approx £30/35.

Eight of us met up for Saturday evening meal.

Great Sunday Roast, friendly staff

Ten of us recently stayed at the Peacock Country Inn near Chinnor for three nights.

I was staying in a nearby B&B; and hadn't booked for a meal. However when I turned up in my powerchair I was able to get in (always a big bonus as so many places have steps - here there was a ramp instead) without needing to ask for assistance.

We went here on 18th August 2019 - 7 adults and one 9 year old. The Sunday lunch was huge (and there was a good selection) and we also got lots of lovely fresh vegetables and cauliflower cheese and jugs of extra gravy. My Mum had the pan roasted salmon which she said was delicious. We were all too full up for the desserts but they looked really good and again there was a great choice. Make sure you are really hungry before you go though as the portions are BIG!!! I would definitely go again and the location is also really good and down a very quiet country lane.

We have been going to this lovely country pub/hotel regularly for sunday lunches over the past few years. The price has risen considerably but we think it is still good value for money. the quality of the food is excellent although the yorkshire pudding is rather large and dominates the plate. I have never managed to eat all mine although my partner finishes his off ok. One small slight area for improvement i think is the quantity of fresh veg given. It doesn't equate to the size of the yorkshire pudding and we alwaysfeel we could have managed a few more greens! All in all always a friendly reception and a very satisfying sunday lunch. we will continue to be regulars.

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and very homely.

There is nothing that we did not like.the room was large with lovely views.we ate in the restaurant on all 3 nights and the food was exceptional.the staff were very friendly and helpful.could not fault.

We visited today with our daughter. We haven't been there for a while. The roast dinners are amazing and are preceeded by one of the best rolls and butter first. The service is excellent with all staff friendly and completely efficient. I cannot recommend this place enough and often tell others about it. The only complaint i have is that they don't have a gratitude button on the payment machine. We rarely carry cash and then can't tip the hard working staff. Thank you to all the workers. Our visits to The Peacock are always amazing with delicious food. What are you waiting for? Book yourselves in now!

Lovely little pub tucked away in a quiet residential area. The service was good and everyone was friendly. We sat outside as weather was warm.

Despite the listing as a restaurant, it is a small hotel. We stayed for three nights in a comfortable room and ate at the hotel, twice dinner, breakfast each morning. The food was of a high standard - the breakfast especially so. However, what the most

Wow how lovely .my wife booked a Friday and Saturday night as a surprise birthday break for me .my wife arranged the stay with Carly who was fantastic and went above and beyond to organise the stay .as I am disabled Carly was able to accommodate us in the cottage which was more than suitable for our needs which had a lovely big bed en suite and micro kitchen .the room was comfortable and had a lovely view and a small area outside for a drink . Breakfast had a very good choice and full English recommended .The gentleman who was there I didn't get his name but was a great character and had good banter .all staff were very attentive and helpful with places to visit but thank you Carly .We will return next year for a longer stay five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Martin and his staff have created something very special here. The food, be it lunch or dinner, is of the highest quality and served by a delightful team of people. Try the seafood platter. As fresh as could be and beautifully presented. Highly recommended.

Food excellent staff very friendly and helpful

We spent a weekend in the Chilterns and decided to have dinner at the Peacock as it was the only restaurant within walking distance of our B&B.; The restaurant is located off the beaten track and somewhat hidden in a tiny village but turned out to be a real gem. The food was tasty, well prepared and presented. The service was excellent - friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. Overall, great value for money. If I’m ever back in the area, I would not hesitate to return for another meal.

I could not have been more pleased with our stay. Martin the proprietor has an amazing touch with guests. Always charming and personable and there to help with any question or concern. Food was excellent, room was clean and comfortable. A must stay for anyone how needs to visit the chilton hills area.

Three of us did a round route walk from this hotel and then had lunch. Everyone was friendly from arranging to use the car park to the welcome and service. Food and beer were excellent, and we all enjoyed the desert. Would have marked this as excellent but the establishment is a really a hotel and there did not appear to be a pub bar. As such the seating and tables felt a little more like a hotel. Otherwise this was one our better experiences on our regular walks.

Service and meal was fantastic and establishment clean and comfortable. Enjoyed several evening drinks during our stay at the inn and had a lovely dinner and drinks with family one evening. Loved it!

What a fantastic place to eat , menu which meets all needs and tastes. Staff are always pleased to help with whatever you want. Food was hot and cooked to perfection and prices are reflective of quality. Dec worth going to.

We were remaining simply up the street and chose to stroll down for supper. We were exceptionally happy we did. Wonderful setting toward the finish of a peaceful street. The staff were all well disposed and mindful and the sustenance was brilliant. My better half had the Lamb Shank which he altogether appreciated, my chicken from the specials menu was very much cooked and delicious, all the veg were cooked to flawlessness. Costs are normal. On the off chance that we are in the region again we will return.

Have been here 3 times now when i meet up with a old friend and have to tell you what an amazing place. Its off the beaten path and in a lovely little village. The staff have got to no us even though we have only been there 3 times over a 6 month period. They are so friendly and helpful. The food is high quality and not over the top on cost. Everything on the menu i want to have and so hard to chose what to have.

Lovely atmosphere. Great food friendly staff. Very recommended excellent Sunday lunch.

My work put me up for a week and 2 days in this Inn. The staff are extremely helpful, very polite, curteous. The food is very nice and tasty. Rooms are clean, everything you could need it provided. Plenty of parking outside!

One of the nicest places we've stayed at.

Whenever my family is down we will most likely come here. friendly and welcoming staff along with some great meal options for both omnivores and vegans! The vegan risotto and stir fry option have to be my favourite! definitely recommend this place to anyone, plus any vegans looks for a cosy place to grab a bite to eat!

We booked a table for 9 people, for lunch. Everyone arrived and were curtiously welcomes both by reception and waiting staff. Menus were distributed -1each no sharing, and we were given time to choose. Whilst considering food choices, we were asked regarding drinks, and water was brought to the table for all. Drinks were brought and food ordered.

Went with friends for a meal Had a lovelly evening. Service a little slow. But food always if excellent quality, well prepared and presented.

A great country pub, a friendly welcome with lovely food and drinks
