The Peacock

Very accommodating - staff seated 12 of us in our party when we visited on spec today. The food was excellent and offered fantastic value for money. The pint of Bakewell Best Bitter was a superb accompaniment to my Steak and Kidney pudding! I highly recommend a visit.

Came in with my partner and dog to meet the rest of our family (another 4 people) and we took the last table in the dog friendly area. While I was at the bar getting drinks, where the Barman was very nice and professional, a member of staff approached my partner and said that “you need to move because we have a booking and the table we allocated them is too small, so we need this table” and then proceeded to pick up our belongings and move them elsewhere without any chance to reply or any other options. The same member of staff also tried that take a chair from a table while the child was sat on their parents lap. Really bad service and won’t be coming back

We’ve just had a meal here and it wasn’t great. My burger was burnt, no staff came over to check everything was ok. Then the guy started clearing plates away, didn’t once say anything. So I mentioned my burger was burnt. The only response I got was ‘sorry about that’ and off he went. Good customer service would have dealt with the matter of offering a refund as I didn’t eat the mean. Or offer to replace the meal for me. It cost £17 and that’s a lot of money for not eating the meal. Wouldn’t return.

Decent hotel, seems under rated at 3 stars? Friendly staff, beer & food was good too. Rooms nice. No toilet roll in ours and they don't offer breakfast but on the whole, a good experience. I would stay there again.

Brilliant place, lovely fish finger sandwich, was very busy throughout the lunchtime period, we got in around 12 and was a perfect time, then in got really busy, plenty of tables though

Pub only. Staff poor. Barged into my Mrs, and bar staff miserable, the misery we were blessed with rubbed her hand all over the spout on the madri to clean it, which I thought was a bit rough. All said and done the guiness is to die for. Just don't expect the two staff we saw to be decent.

Had a lovely lunch here today with family really enjoyed it, reasonably priced nice cosy pub with character and friendly bar staff.

Called in for a beer whilst having a lovely day in this beautiful town , went to the bar and waited for 10 mins at the bar as a young lad had said I was ok to wait there , a miserable woman behind the bar ,when I asked why others were getting served before me , said get in the que , with a tone of voice like I was a begger not a customer, we walked out and went next door and was greeted with a smiling face and great service , will definitely not be going again , it costs nothing to be polite after so many pubs lose there business from losing punters, just add ,the reply i got was another blame deflection , read all the owners replys !!! Always the Customer !! Never the owner !!

We were a group of four for dinner. We each had a different item from their pub menu. Although the food was absolutely delicious, we each thought that our serving portion was just a bit too much. Wish we had enough room for dessert. We'd definitely return for another meal but will request smaller portions as we want to taste their desserts.

This place was clean and The floor staff was friendly. The wait was not long given the amount of people. The steak and ale pie was good. The fish part of the fish and chips was awful. My older son ordered this, we took half of the fish and put it on another plate. I ate a couple of bites. We had no more than six bites in all. We've never made a complaint about fish and chips which is what we commonly order. We did Report the problem and the two people that responded tried to take both plates away without asking. We had her other dinner on there, so that was kind of a shocker. We asked them to leave it so that we could eat the french fries, and the rest of the steak and ale on the second plate. They took both plates. When they came back and said we eat eaten most of the fish which was not true, as a matter fact majority of the french fries and a third of the meat pie was still there as well! They did offer us a half-price dessert and return. We declined and left. We were shocked by the performance. We originally gave them two stars but given the owners extreme and a nasty response on Trip Advisor, it's now a one - totally floored by such poor the lack of restaurant hospitality

We checked out all the pubs in Bakewell. For food, this was the best for pub fare. Others were limited. One did not have the two things we ordered.

Very expensive for what you get (pretty standard pub fare) but think that is down to being in a fairly tourist trappy area. Food and drink was nice but nothing to shout about given the prices but the staff were very friendly so a definite plus.
