Peacock - Derbyshire Dales

Nice food but not so great service. Prices were a little over the line...

My partner and I visited this pub a couple of years ago. Never again. Absolutely horrendous treatment and service by staff and the landlord. Firstly we waited an age for our food, then we ordered deserts. The desert never came. And when I asked for it them I was told they had finished serving food. I requested a refund of the deserts which had cost almost £15! Along with my refund, I was shouted at, insulted, and my partner was asked if he wanted a fight Hilarious now but at the time it was unpleasant and intimidating. Horrible nasty people who don’t deserve to take the hard earned money that is spent there. Be warned!!!! .

The place has a rating of 3.9, it should be at least 4.6. Food is much better than in higher rated places. I definitely recommend to seat and eat here if you are looking for a restaurant in Bakewell.

Central location is good. We sat outside with our dogs and enjoyed chatting with the young woman who brought out our food; she was really lovely and friendly. The food was a bit mediocre. Before we left, I went inside to use the loo, only to be confronted by a stony faced older woman who asked why I was there! I get that non-customers may try to use their facilities, but there are gentler ways of asking people what they're looking for, especially when there were only a few occupied tables in the pub and just ours outside! A bit of tact and customer service would garner a better review. It's really unpleasant to be treated like a chancer when you've just spent £50 there.

Only went for one drink but the barman was really nice and it's located in a nice area next to other shops.
