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.

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 youVegetarian options: Lovely nut roast, very tasty ....Parking: Private car park, plenty of room despite being really busy

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Beautiful place, first time visit for me and my partner. Quick service, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Fantastic young man serving us, didn’t get his name so hopefully management see this, we did leave him a tip on paying. We Will be back with family and plenty more visits. Thank

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.
