Peacock

Lovely place, friendly staff and fantastic atmosphere, especially in October when the weather is miserable and it's windy outside. There is a slot machine you can use, i won £30 and a small outside area where you can go for a smoke. Its accessible for disabled people who require a wheelchair. I also met a wonderful Bassett Hound named Benson, who made my experience so much better. I can't fault my day out here. Thank you. I will be coming back again

After a birthday meal for 25 including kids we were all pleased with the peacock, we pre booked to make sure we had enough seats and the staff were very welcoming, typical eatery of this day and age, food about average priced mixed grill for £16. Not a massive plate but enough to fill a hole and plenty to choose from. Great service from all the staff on the day all in all a good experience for our first visit, would go again if I was that way. Not a bad place and a little park for the kids also.

I don't like Birchwood. There, I've said it. You may call me a snob, but these 'new towns' don't do it for me. What the planners did do right here, though, was to build a pub, too. Ok, so it's on the Asda carpark and there's not much else around, but at least there is the Peacock. I don't much like places that encourage drink-driving (registering your number plate at the bar gives you free parking), but it is what it is. It's a Marston's pub, so the food menu is extensive, as is the selection of drinks. As above, however, they've got a captive audience so quality and atmosphere is a bit hit and miss, and it's not cheap (a pint is generally over £5) but they do 'meal deals'. What you do get, however, is very good. The Sirloin Steak Americana (£16) was divine and the Mega Mixed Grill (£20.95) was large (and did beat me!), albeit a little overcooked. The wings and ribs to start (£6), with the 'devlish' hot sauce was very good indeed. Staff can also be a bit hit and miss (Debby was definitely a hit!) and children/families are more than welcome (there is a small indoor play area, and outside playspace too). The Peacock has a large outdoor seating area for when the weather allows (not much of it is covered). The toilets were clean enough though could do with a revamp. As with all these places it's a community hub, and rightly so! If I do find myself in Birchwood again in sure to come back.

We decided to try our luck for a table of 5 without prior booking. Not only did we get a big table and quick service but the food was amazing and the considerate and polite treatment we received from out waitress Lily was outstanding! What a credit to the team this young lady is. We will certainly be coming back! Nice one lily and the rest of the team!

Debby- who served us was absolutely amazing, firstly there was a wasp that kept flying around our drinks and she kindly came up with a solution. She was also lovely towards my children and made us all feel very welcome. She really does go above and beyond… anyone would be lucky to have her as an employee. We look forward to visiting again soon.
