We popped into the peacock after a weekend winter walk around the reservoirs with our dogs. When we came in we weren't sure if dogs were allowed but were told that that we could sit in the bar area which was perfect. With an actual fire and some lovely decor it was really cosy. We decided to just have some drinks and sandwiches. To our pleasant surprise the sandwich and chips were full plates and really tasty. All the staff were very friendly and saw to our orders quickly. Overall we would be very happy to come back and would like to try the evening meals at some point.

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 ☺️

Difficult to grade The Peacock because lots was 5* but other things were disappointing. It’s possibly a brilliant place to eat and we just were unlucky. Anyone can have an off-day, so I won’t mention the grumpy waitress and will instead say that two of the serving staff were pleasant and friendly.
The menu looked great for both carnivores and veggies. I chose the prawn cocktail, which was tasty and well presented. I then had the hot smoked salmon salad. Not sure why it was described as hot, as it was all cold (& not spicy). The salad was pleasant enough, and I had a side order of potatoes which were cooked perfectly. There was too much salmon (in fact the dish was mainly salmon).
We also ordered a halloumi burger and fries. This was simply too salty to eat.
The fries were COVERED in salt. Maybe there was an accident in the kitchen, or perhaps the chef got distracted and salted them twice. We switched with less salty chips from a different plate. (From someone in our family, in case you’re worried we stole them from an adjoining table.)
Chicken wings, sausages and regular burger all good.
Pudding a big disappointment. I was keen to try the waffle with strawberries and ice cream. The strawberries were...one strawberry. Just one. It was perfectly ripe, placed decoratively on top, but really? One strawberry is a garnish, not ‘strawberries.’ The ice cream wasn’t vanilla (had assumed it would be). It was salted caramel (they like salt here). Would have been better if that had been mentioned in the menu (or by the waitress). The waffle however was warm and fresh and perfect.

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

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!
