| Came with friends and children for Sunday eve meal. Friendly & helpful staff. Manager offered and gave my partner three tasters of wine to help her choose - nice touch. All meal were servered together - well cooked and presented, extras addons etc no problem. Good Beer range served just right. All-in-all lovely traditional pub, comfortable and a very pleasent experience. Johnny_G - 9 Sep 2011 15:07 |
| My husband and I took my father to the Peacock for Father's day lunch and I am afraid we came away rather disappointed! The place is gorgeous, and the food was very good, but the service we received really let it down. We were booked in for 1.00, and we ordered at about 1.10, but did not receive our food until 2.30! There was no explanation or apology for this, and the restaurant was not busy enough to warrant such a delay. We had ordered bread and olives with our drinks but these did not arrive until about 5 minutes before our meals anyway so we were very hungry! The table next to us received their food well before us, despite having arrived after - clearly they were regulars... Having been offered dessert menus, we did not receive them, and eventually had to go and find them ourselves. To add insult to hunger, when my husband went to pay (after waiting some time for the bill) he, unfortunately, did not check the receipt properly and we later realised that we had been charged for nearly £15.00 of drinks we did not have. Upon calling the pub, I was told that they could not do anything whatsoever to refund the money onto the card unless we came back in - which, as we live in Yorkshire, is hardly practical! I'm afraid they made no effort to make amends for their error and barely even apologised. All in all, it left a rather bad taste! We won't be going back there in a hurry. It is a shame that such a beautiful pub is owned by people with such a casual attitude towards customer service. Flick01 - 1 Jul 2010 14:53 |
| The Peacock Inn is a lovely building in beautiful surroundings. The drinks are rather pricey, and the quality a little lacking as my pint of London Pride was not as bright as it should have been. The food was also overpriced for what you get. Nothing wrong with the food really, it was nice enough, just nothing special. Finally we didn't feel particularly welcomed by the abrupt service and felt as though we were not as important as some of the other customers who were there. The most important rule of customer service is to treat all customers with the same respect. It's a shame really but I don't think we will be rushing back for a visit anytime soon. jk77 - 11 May 2009 13:18 |
| Good plain food, reasonable prices. Had to cross a road from car park which was a bit 'hairy' to say the least sussexsingle - 4 Jul 2007 07:39 |
| Have been visiting this pub (with long intervals between visits) for around 25yrs! Visited last night with friends for a meal which proved highly enjoyable. I had Steak and Guiness Pie which was crammed with tender steak, others in the group all enjoyed their meals, good choice including veggie, not cheap but I considered it offered good value. Couple of minor gripes. Some extra gravy with the pie would not have come amiss and if you are paying £1.60 for a coffee I would expect at least one "waffer thin" mint and a refill would also be good. Harveys Best, Green King IPA and Fullers London Pride on offer. Lovely old building, nice gardens, very popular so I would book if you are tempted to visit. TrevorT - 1 Jul 2007 20:51 |
