The Peacock

Four of us turned up here for sunday lunch on speck we were told no tables were available and we would have to wait in the bar, a bit strange as it was four oclock. after a short wait we were shown to our table which was infront of a made up log fire which was blazing away. the food arived and i have to say was very nice and the staff were very helpful too
I would go back there again but book a table first and one thats not infront of the fire.

I really liked this place and the food was wonderful. It’s a bar and a restaurant, the restaurant area is nice and quiet making conversation possible and the bar was full and friendly. My only problem was its location. It’s in the middle of nowhere and you need a car to access it. There is however plenty of parking space making it an ideal spot for ramblers to pop in before/​after a walk.

As part of my periodic attempts to reconnect with my largely dispersed university friends, I will often find myself travelling far outside my inner city comfort zone and ending up somewhere I was only vaguely aware existed. After a considerably long and winding journey down the type of country lanes I had no idea Birmingham possessed, I arrived at The Peacock.
A large, traditional family pub and restaurant, The Peacock enjoys a roaring trade despite their somewhat remote location. Their menu is surprisingly diverse, especially in providing for vegetarians and other non-​meat eaters. I enjoyed their soup of the day, although several of my fellow diners thought their starters were incredibly feeble in portion size.
The main courses on the other hand were ample in size and very tasty. I myself had the vegetarian fish and chips, which consisted of battered halloumi cheese in place of fish. I was a little skeptical, but am happy to say that the meal was delicious and filling, and scarily reminiscent of the real thing.
Most of us opted for dessert, and while the vanilla cheesecake I ordered disappeared within 3 modest mouthfuls, the quality of the food remained consistently high throughout my meal. It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that the price was similarly high. A cheap slap-​up meal, this was not!
On the whole I would highly recommend The Peacock for anyone looking for a great bit of quality pub grub, so long as the journey and the price doesn’t put you off I am certain you will have a good time. One piece of advice I would offer, though, is that you get there early to beat the rush, or better yet book your table in advance to avoid a wasted trip.
