As mention....Timing certainly is everything when at the Peacock. On the 2 occasions my mates and I have been here, we have arrived around 9.30-10ish to find it with a resonable amount of patrons and an average atmosphere...that is until bout 11 - 11.30 which i was told, that all the other pubs in the area are closed, we are the only pub open till 1am.
Before I knew it the place was packed, with a vast variety of people incl. young suits, the older crowd and even one of the staff who knocked off early was there chatting away to everyone.(even jumped behind the bar to help when it was busy and even collected the empties....even though they had finished their shift!! )

Extremely friendly staff, most places you go the bar staff hardly understand what you want....staff here all speak english!! 2 of them are british and a kiwi lass! They even knew our round of drinks better than we did!

Music.....a juke box to die for!

2 Dart boards and pool available (upstairs) which at about 12ish was closed off.....however they let my mates and I use the dart board downstairs!

I personally am not an ale drinker - but my husband tried the Redemption (apparently a new one the market and local london ale) says it was spot on!

We will definately be returning here when we are next in the area!!

No 1 pub on BITE with a rating of 7.8. You must be joking. The manager must be getting his mates to rate it up as this pub has shot to the top from nowhere. Far better pubs than this abound.

Not a Bar I would return to.
Asked the staff if we could play darts, and got the shoulder shrug, and "no we got a match on",so, erm when asked why we couldnt play before the teams turned up at 6, we got told" NO I SAID",..hmmm, nice attitude.
So usual east end bar,, dirty toilets, rude staff, old smell...erm, thanks., but I think there are a few classy bars close by so you wont be seeing me or the lads again.

An avid darts player, I have decided to comment of all the Pubs I have played in recently.

This I would say is a true darts venue. Great (Blade 3) Boards (4), all well presented and lit, each fitted with Winmau Electronic Scoring. We had spent some time here and were disappointed when the staff pointed out there was a match starting at 6, fearing the worst we started to pack up, until the staff pointed out that there where more boards upstairs and even helped us carry out chattels and goods. A lovely little games area is to be found on the first floor, well lit and equipped.

It was good to see some local ale on the bar, which it must be said was delightful and cheap for the area, also and not the norm for the area, Ringwood Best Bitter, which was in excellent form. CAMRA discounts are available too, though not too well advertised! The only remark I can make of the previous posts is we found the staff lovely, helpful and all speak English, whilst we did not try the Doom Bar, having had it elsewhere, did PJH just hit the end of the barrel and not have the foresight to point it out?

All over one of the best venues we had been in. Welcoming, exceptionally clean, though a bit of paint here and there would not go a miss. Great ales at good prices and as the evening wore on, as others have said, it just got busier and busier.
