Rich Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Meh, I'm only 28 and I'm on first name terms with the management in there. I also have a very strong and broad accent as people who've met me at meets will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magneteer Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Went to the Peacock tonight for a drink and a bite to eat, and while we found the main courses of meat and tater pie with veg to be good value for money, the dessert was disappointing.We ordred treacle roly poly with custard which cost £1 each (cheap enough) but was very dry and contained virtually no treacle. I would have rather paid double and had a nice lashing of treacle in there. My only other gripe (I know I sound like a grumpy old man) was the beer. The Peacock serves Thwaites beers, which are usually very good. However, because most of the staff tend to be teenage girls, wearing corporate tee shirts and baseball caps, they have no idea how to pull a good pint, and have maybe never been shown. So one is reduced to drinking smoothflow, or worse still lager ( for Gods sake). I suppose being typically British, we accept their offering and walk away tut tutting, not wishing to make a scene etc. vowing never to return.

max Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 My main objection to The Peacock is that the one time we went for a meal in what was laughingly called the non-smoking area we still came home with the smell of stale tobacco on our clothes. A shame really as it's my new local. Roll on the smoking ban in pubs where food is served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total ban on smoking in pubs is long overdue IMO, if only the establishment would get a move on and bring it in, bloody silly Govt and their red tape that makes everything take 20 years to bring in to law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
