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.

The pizzas are to die for !!! Omg well worth the price
Also the staff was great and made a big effort talking and playing with my daughter making sure she had colours and she was ok.

Thursday steak and drink for £13.
Absolutely brilliant value.
Things changed within a month.
Maybe last time Sunday they had an off day.
Steak cooked exactly as asked.
Well seasoned.
Ate everything.
Just shows things can change very quickly.
Well done. Will definitely be trying the curry next

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.

Great food, friendly staff. Clean environment. Large selection of meals at good prices. Bring your stretchy pants, you won't want to leave any food on your plate!
Wayne Berry
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.

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

My daughter and I went for a quick meal after the cinema. I ordered scampi and chips and salad instead of peas. "'No problem" said the waitress. My daughter needed to order from the gluten free menu. She ordered the chicken tikka and asked for chips instead of rice. "No problem" said the waitress. When the order came I had no salad and she had rice and no chips. Granted they added the missing items but do they not read the orders in the kitchen? When we came to pay we were told that the prices on the gluten free menu were not up to date and had to pay the same price as the full menu price, despite the fact there was no naan bread, and no alternative, the only thing that made it gluten free was it didn't have a naan bread. The waitress was very pleasant but we didn't leave a tip as we felt the whole experience was poor.

New menu and they have stopped doing the Indian pizzas?!?! Stopped giving pizza cutters for the pizzas and drinks only came with the starters? Pizzas was ok but not the best � advertises 2 pizzas and 2 drinks for £15 we had this plus some nachos and the bill was £29??
Ema Martin

Ate here tonight with my family of 4, staff friendly and welcoming. tried the fillet steak, cooked to perfection! Kids meals also went down a treat! Followed by the salted caramel dough balls..mmmm they are delicious x
Dave Brown
I went to The Peacock for lunch yesterday and since they have had the refurbishment I feel that things have got better. I had the gammon with the trimmings served on a hot plate and loved it. Shall be going again

Myself and my husband visited on Wednesday lunch time, Carol seated us straight away and given us a choice of menus and also told us there was a specials board menu. Ordered drinks and chose our food hubby got a mixed grill which there was plenty off but you couldn't tell at first as it had two eggs just chucked on the top. I had trio of lamb chops, plenty of food on the plates for minimal cost. I took my mum today for her birthday lunch as she'd never been again we had fab food.
Darren Mansell
Didn't even get to order food this time, how can a restaurant that specialises in pizzas and all the marketing around the fact, have no pizzas? I Don't know why I let the wife convince me to give this place another chance. Total gash, how the place is still open is beyond me.
Lee Newards
IV tried the new food and it's amazing and the new look of the place is very nice. The staff are very nice people good service definitely will be going back ����
