The Peacock Inn in North East Derbyshire

Lovely meal to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Thank you

Loved it Good food with excellent service. Full of older people on Sunday eating while the rest sat outside

We had out wedding reception here about 2 years ago, late review I know, but everything was class. Food was amazing, service was class and was a lovely place as well. Couldn’t fault it and made our day even better.

A recommendation to me from someone local after moving to the area, a very good find. I had mussels to start with then fish and chips. Its also got a kids play area and plenty of grass for them to run around.

My own review .honest as I can be as always ..what a lovely place nice staff very welcoming nice kids play area plenty of parking kids loved there food also

Friendly staff, nice food and good beers. Nice relaxing pub 👍

They need to upgrade their coffee. Really poor quality. Food was good. Need a bit if an upgrade. Nice location. Seated at a table next to the door into the courtyard. Could do with a door closer.

Lovely place very clean well decorated and tasteful, Food was excellent staff were pleasant and very helpful will recommend and return when we are in the area.

Always a consistent level of service and quality at The Peacock Cuthorpe.

Really good food Not the cheapest but worth the extra for overall experience and special occasions

Nice place. Good for kids and pets. Lovely staff.

Visited at lunchtime and although we didn’t have a booking we were given a lovely table in a pleasantly decorated dining room. Staff were all very friendly and our food was nicely presented and very tasty.

Came here yesterday for a Sunday lunch and it was so busy, but the staff were really friendly and attentive and the Sunday lunch came out fairly quickly and was so good, definitely recommend

the lady at the bar was lovely, the table /floor person was very cold,to the point we felt uncomfortable and left and ate else where.The lunchtime menu very limited and expensive for what you were ordering. really disappointed.

This place is a must. Great ambience. Amazing staff. The th is amazing it's a must Thank you for a lovely valantines night

Gorgeous pub friendly staff and yummy food visited every day on our holiday as it was the nearest pub to our holiday cottage

Enjoyed a good pint in a comfortable setting. Very relaxing. Give it a try

A planned visit after the Linacre walk. Best fish and chips ever. The haddock was wonderful. Waited service is always nice after a walk!

Saw the signs for the Peacock on our way to Linacre Reservoir and we decided to stop off for a bite to eat. We were shown to our table by a lovely waitress and were made to feel welcome with our newborn baby boy. We ordered a sandwich each - Mrs had the fishfinger one and I had the Beef one. Both were very tasty and the chips were very good.

Really rude! Popped in for a drink and food but quickly left as the staff were really rude! I have been working and running bars for over 33 years, and I would never speak to customers like that! If you can't cope when there are a few people at the bar, rethink your job and maybe find somewhere where your customer services are not important!

Best Christmas dinner ever - been twice this season. Amazing food, very well presented, great location and decor, excellent staff and easy parking.

Not been here for ages but it’s clearly been too long! A really enjoyable Christmas meal - terrific food in a lovely atmosphere with great service. Will certainly come back in the new year.

A warm and polite welcome from charming lady on arrival. Shown to a lovely table with no fuss and introduced to our waitress for the evening., who promptly took our drinks order. We are a family of 7 with two young children and the menu choice is varied enough to cater for all tastes. Food and the efficiency of the waiting staff was excellent. A great evening.

Dodgy looks and weird smell upon walk-in -must be the local degens meetup due to every picture in the pub being hunting related😂. Parents seemed to come in after picking up kids from school to feed their crying babies

Had a meal last night service poor not enough staff actually working food adequate and overpricrivrf

Popped in on the off chance a couple of weekends ago. Was able to get a table. Service was quick and efficient. Food was amazing. The beef cheek ragu just melted in my mouth 😋 nice, warm, cosy place with friendly staff.

Booked for a 60th birthday meal with 17 family members. Service, quality of food and drink and staff were all outstanding! I don’t normally leave reviews however we felt we must recommend. Prior to booking we emailed our meal choices to the venue due to the number of us. Communication from The Peacock was excellent, emailing back to clarify on how certain dishes were to be prepared such as the steaks etc. Everything was very smooth, all meals came out together, everything tasted delicious and portions good! Staff members were very attentive, no one ever waited for extra drinks, cutlery, sauces etc. Overall an enjoyable night and we said we will return in future. Thank you ‘The Peacock’ for a making my dads 60th fab!

Took my lunch club here again and enjoyed excellent beautifully prepared food and exemplary and attentive service. Interesting to note the Head Chef was on leave so the Sous Chef and the rest of the brigade must be good.

Great food - quick service - good beer

Beautiful food the Filet of Beef and everything else was delicious.

Wonderful traditional pub in a stunning setting. Great beer and food options. Dog friendly and room to sit outside. Peacocks roaming freely and a large car park. Brilliant.

We have had food few times here. First time very angry with my experience, but we had just quick nibble after walk in Linacre reservoir. (Let’s not point that out) Another time we had full meal with starters (Bread and oil) the bread was amazing good portion as well specially that my partner is celiac. It came different type of breads it fell like fresh baked I absolutely love it. Oil was not basics, it was olive oil and mains was great too. My partner had one of the best gluten free Fish and chips and I had burger. BUT this time experience was totally different, we had ordered again bread and oil…. Half GF and half normal, I (not GF) came just one slice of basic Tesco tiger bread with small portions of olives (good olive presuming from Delia Italia) and basics oil (not olive oil) and DIRTY napkin. On mains we had GF fish and chips and Tagliatelle Chicken. The chicken came with nice bread (shame the type of bread was not served with the starter all would be different)The pasta, I thought it ment to be spicy but not chilly touch it a bit bland. … on the end I have started tasty a bit chilly… Fish and chips was okay… Not terrible but edible … Nothing to get the tastebuds partying….. Peas tasted like Hamlet ciggeretes they was not good couldn’t finish them…. Maybe a different chef ? Candle was a nice touch to the table but wasn’t light…. Seems to be a waste of promising ambiance and just space taken up on the table. Not one member of staff gave us eye contact which completely made us feel uncomfortable and not welcome, except into the end Sam and Indira they was nice, made the experience. Very disappointed with the starts as we came here to spend our 1st anniversary.

Fantastic pub with great food and great service. Lots of seating choice. Lovely patio terrace's and garden area as well as cosy inside seating area. It really is a lovely place to visit and to enjoy fabulous food. Also, you can walk straight into Linacre Reservoir from the pub car park 👍🏻😊

Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, very comfortable cool building and food is superb

So friendly. Even dog friendly. Starters and main’s were spot on. Staff friendly and polite. If I could give you 10 stars I would. Thank you.

Perfect. Went this evening as a family and it was faultless. The food was delicious. The staff were very attentive. The place is clean, warm and comfortable. We can't wait to visit again!

Excellent location food & friendly polite service thank you

I booked a table for four and asked for a quiet area so we could chat without too much background noise (two of us have impaired hearing). What we got was just that, except that throughout the meal people were coming and going past us, from the nearby external door to the bar and back. It was bit like being in a busy corridor. The meal was fine if a bit pricey I thought. The menu was a bit limited, to be honest. However, the table was well laid out and the staff were friendly and attentive. A small niggle. The website confused me for a while. It showed a "June menu" though we were proposing to be there in August. As I now find they change the menu with the seasons, this should perhaps have read "Menu from June".

Great place, would definitely recommend a visit. Food was outstanding!!

Faultless and will return. Food was stunning and we ate in the little court yard to rear.

We dropped in for lunch on Friday following a walk around the country park and a short diversion to Abbey Farm, previously owned by my wife’s grandfather in the 50’s and 60’s when it was a dairy farm. Excellent choices available but we both opted for the fish finger sandwich with fat chips. Not disappointed. Two small fillets of battered fish were the ‘fingers’ on a granary roll with tartare sauce. Very ample portion size. A range of local and international beers are available on draft. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Had our post-funeral buffet here and were looked after excellently! All manner of dietary needs catered for without fuss and a relaxed and professional approach made the day a good one!

Miserable owners, have fenced off additional carpark which a lot of dog owners use prior to having a drink in the beer garden after walking their dog's in the accessable woods behind. Hope you lose lots of custom you miserable miserable people.

Staff were very rude you can’t have Sunday dinner as a walk in but if booked inside you can! They allow you to buy drinks and say you can have food outside then when you go to order no Sunday dinner then the only other options is gammon or chips. Young staff behind bar couldn’t be anymore rude !

A great experience - lovely food and excellent service. We visited on a Saturday evening with a group of friends and despite being early were seated quickly. The service was great - friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Proper pub food was enjoyed by all, and I was delighted with the fact that there were lots of gluten free options available. I had the prawn cocktail with gf bread for a starter and fish and chips for the main. Both were really tasty and we’ll visit again as a result.

Went 3 times while on holiday. Enjoyed every meal. Went for Sunday lunch as well,which was also good. Only thing I didn't like was when we paid (cash) they asked if we wanted change.

Delicious food, great service, and atmosphere keep us coming back. The Teriyaki Aubergine starter is out of this world! We are so glad this is within walking distance of Cow Close Barn; we would drive to it anyway, but being walking distance from the holiday cottage is a bonus!

Wonderful on everu level, especially the staff. X

I was disappointed with the small portion of roast lamb that I was served. I had already asked semi jokingly for a decent sized portion. The lamb was very tasty though. Very disappointed with the quality of the bread and butter pudding. Very dense and stodgy. It needed a lot more egg custard and vanilla essence, and probably a good sprinkle of nutmeg. I could see that the place was very popular and was well attended but at £18.95 (I think) for a main course and £7.95 for a dessert I felt it was over priced. Needless to say that I will probably not be returning.

Probably the best fish and chips I've ever had! The Haddock was incredible, nice size Fillet with lovely big pure white flakes and the batter was just perfect with a good crunch and wonderfull golden colour. And what about the chips? Well they were the best triple cooked chips I have ever had in a restaurant cooked to perfection with a wonderfull crunch. All in all, it was a wonderfull experience and the staff were just so attentive and friendly so I will definitely be going back. I've not been to the peacock for years but I will not leave it so long next time. Highly recommended and worth the five stars I've given them.

The best prawn salad you will eat in Derbyshire…… fresh tasty prawns and so many makes this dish absolutely delicious. ***** 5 stars is the best!

Love this place doggy friendly

Fabulous food, service, real flowers on the table. I had the Haddock and John and David the Gammon. Amazing!! Please move to Queensland.

We held our wedding reception at the Peacock Inn and from start to finish the experience was brilliant. Charlotte and her team were great in organising the evening - understood straight away our vision and how we wanted the table /decor to look , the private room itself was nice and private and the welcome drinks were a great touch for arrivals. The food quality and service was outstanding - we had 30 guests who ordered off the main menu and each starter , main and desert came out in good time and was delicious , we had many comments from our guests saying how good the food was. The service was 10/10 all night. Thank you for making our special day that much more special :)

We were nearby and called in without a booking. The pub was quite busy but they found us a table we could use for 90 minutes which was fine. Smart contemporary decor, frequented by families, walkers and dog owners on the day we visited. Lunch was nice, served quickly and the service was friendly. Good choice of ales and soft drinks so we we left fed, watered and happy.

Last night we had a family gathering to celebrate my son’s 18th birthday; we could not have chosen a better location than the Peacock at Cutthorpe. EVERYTHING was perfect, but the standout point to highlight was 100% the service! We had a large room to ourselves and it felt like we had a waiter coming to take a drinks order, and deliver them to our table, as much as we could’ve needed. They had decorated the room for us with the items we had provided, plus the general decor is fresh and clean. There is ample parking, no issues with disabled access, lovely outdoors areas to sit, a play area for little ones, and the Peacock is situated in beautiful surroundings. The menu choice is fantastic, the food great, and, as I said previously, the service exceptional. Thank you so much for making this such a wonderful night. 🙏

Delightful food in a cosy setting

First visit here in years. Very impressed. Staff were excellent, friendly & efficient. Food was top quality, presented well & delicious.

Good food, just expensive. Same with the beer

The Peacock at Cutthorpe is a lovely pub with amazing views of a countryside field. We already pre-ordered our meals prior to our visit. The food was amazing 👏 as always, and the service was excellent 👌. We arrived 20 mins early to our booking, but we were waiting 15 mins after our booking time. Overall, it was a good visit ☺️

Fish and chips were the best I have ever had. My husband had the gammon and he said the same. Well worth a visit.

Just stopped for coffee and cheesy chips delicious 😋

We often visit this pub when we are visiting to cover respite break for family member. The welcome has always been friendly. Today I asked if they could provide a bottle of milk for my young granddaughter and the lady (possibly the manager) was more than happy to deal with my request and even refused my offer of payment. I didn't feel it fair to rate the food as its been a few years since we dined but I remember food been good and seeing the fish/chips someone had was big and looked nice. Outside play area for children & dogs made welcome. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Absolutely amazing from startvto finish It was our first vist but definitely will not be our last . Food excellent Staff very attentive but not in your face. Great atmosphere.

Inviting, friendly and comfortable. Small menu, but very good mixture of choice. Recommended.

Absolutely lovely. Popped in after a long walk, the place was quiet but with a great atmosphere. Our dog was welcome and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the burger with chips, my partner had the lentil burger and both were delicious.

Decided to have Sunday lunch here and we weren't disappointed. Very efficient service. My pork was very tasty and tender. We finished with sticky toffee pudding and my wife had the Ice cream selection. Again, all delicious. A wafer with the ice cream was all that was missing for my wife. We have dined here before and enjoyed all previous meals and will definitely return for Sunday lunch again.

Called in after walk round linacre, lovely staff , great food, fab Sunday lunch, also one of our group had fish finger sandwich which was reported as smashing thank you

We booked a surprise meal for my sons 30th birthday the landlady was very accommodating upon entry she made us feel at ease & showed us our table in the private dining area, it's was lovely on this special occasion we chose our menu before in advance as there was 10 of us. The Food arrived & it was lovely very well presented hot & delicious we all remarked on the freshness x the staff always came to check on us which was reassuring we would definitely return. Thanks to them all x (booking name Chloe)

Lovely food but slow service in general, clearly not enough staff. Large table next to us did’t even order desert as they had waited so long. Amazing place just need to staff it correctly. So far it’s taken 10 mins just to get the bill. I sit here waiting ……

Excellent food ,great service and beautiful surroundings. Very relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.Highly recommended.

We were a party of 10 celebrating a family birthday. The pub was very busy but the waiting staff were very attentive and we didn’t have to wait too long for the food which we had pre ordered. We sat in the bar area which was dog friendly. Small issue with one dish which was late arriving at the table, but not so late to create a problem. Everyone enjoyed their food and it was well presented. Thanks to all who looked after us!

A little average unfortunately. Good food choices for mains. Service started off well then just kind of ignored and forgotten about which was disappointing. Ok but unlikely to return.

A large party of 18 but all served well . Pity not more veg as only 1 small dish of greens between 2 people.Did bring more when asked.

Very bad staff i did not like my food it was too expensive for what it is can go to some places else for a lot cheaper than here

Excellent food and service staff go over and above to make you welcome Beautifully decorated inside

Lovely location. Friendly attentive staff. Food is excellent and not too expensive. Gets busy but atmosphere is great. Dog friendly area too.,

The food and atmosphere here are excellent and the staff very polite and professional, however when they are busy it can take a while for staff to approach you so there can be a delay in getting drinks and desserts. This has happened on more than one of our visits.

Love it here , more expensive than other pubs but the food is beautiful and the staff are always lovely and catering , nice place to stop for a drink as well if you have gone for a walk over Linacre , nice in the summer to sit outside on the benches , the restaurant to the back is decorated lovely

Went today New Year’s Day for family meal the food was amazing and the staff could not do enough they was so attentive and friendly thank you for a great New Year’s Day

What a superb Boxing Day meal Service was so attentive Food was superb Atmosphere so lovely Can’t fault it and I don’t know how they did it so brilliantly with so many people Hats off to you all xx

Disappointing, told us they needed our table for other guests before even finishing serving us with the response when challenged, sorry we are busy. If you’re that busy and can’t keep up with service then don’t take so many bookings!

Popped in after a walk, we’ve been in a couple of times, maybe 3-4 and every time we’ve left having been made feel uncomfortable by rude staff. We’re not complainers however if you are working in the industry it isn’t hard to crack a smile when serving customers, or to try and be helpful. We were told abruptly after asking for some food that it was not possible as kitchen was closed( absolutely fine) that’s not an issue if she spoke to us nicely. I asked about any snacks and was told there over there somewhere. No one smiled or spoke to us nicely, and we left paying for drinks and a bad service from unhelpful staff

Just had a lovely Christmas 🤶 Eve meal and have to say the food was delicious and service second to none ... portions generous and sooo tasty, I had the nut roast dinner and my other half a lamb dinner generous amounts of meat and cooked to perfection, only criticism is .... we really wanted one of the puddings 🍰 but sadly after the veritable feast could not eat another thing, but next time as we will definitely will be back and highly recommend a visit thank you

So disappointed with my Beef and Horseradish roll. Tasteless, thick and fatty beef with barely any horseradish. The granary roll apparently came fresh from Bakewell. It certainly wasn’t fresh that day. It was stale and had been squashed down. This was all accompanied by a few leaves as a garnish and horrible greasy fries. When I complained the waitress looked at me with disgust. There was no option for a refund she just huffed off! An expensive sandwich. Won’t be returning.

Once again a visit to celebrate Dads Birthday. Everything was spot on, food, staff and service was really good. Thank you so much.

Absolutely superb food and service. Different areas of the pub to suit all… dog/no dog, bar area (open fire) and well appointed restaurant (the crab room!) outdoor terrace area weather permitting. Outstanding service from Charlotte following many changes of booking. Thanks Charlotte and team Peacock - see you again.

Very good,and bigger than I thought

Welcoming staff , really nice environment & great tasting food & wine couldn’t ask for better really enjoyable meal and visit

This was our second year coming for our friends Christmas meal. We all throughly enjoyed it. The staff were lovely and delicious food.

Great place for a bite to eat after a walk round Linacre Reservoirs just down the road. Loved the posh fish finger sandwiches, battered strips of real fish.

Friendly welcome and service with delicious food. I had fish and chips for my main which was excellent, highly recommended. We'll be back again very soon.

Delicious food and really good service. Comfortable decor too

Excellent lunch, great staff and very comfortable surroundings

Top place try the fish finger sandwiches wow

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Charlotte and all the team at the peacock for a wonderful birthday party meal . All the food was delicious and served hot and at the same time . To say you had so many to cook and serve plus your other guests ,you did a marvellous job . Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it . Thanks again !

It is not a cheap eat, expensive. The food is without flavor. There are staffs who work here that should not be in customer facing jobs.

Had actually booked for another Peacock, without realising but this place was absolutely lovely. Food was delicious, hot and service was good. Not an extensive menu but dishes cooked fresh and presented well which is always preferred. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Atmosphere was nice too.

Fabulous food and ambience. Will definitely be returning soon

Lovely pub with nice decor, waitresses attentive and not overbearing which was nice. Husband had fish finger on a white cob which was huge, it was excellent hot and tasty, I had roast beef and horseradish on brown, I’ve just a couple comments regarding mine. The beef was lovely and loads of it, but the cob was really hard work, too big and needed more butter on it as it was quite dry. I would prefer the cob slightly toasted maybe and the horseradish sauce in a separate ramekin so you can add more as I do like plenty on. Apart from that I thought it was great
