"In a gastronomic era dominated by a surfeit of no-choice tasting menus it is a delight to sample the fine dining choices offered by the menu at the Peacock. With its delicious, daily changing, amuse bouches and pre-deserts along with a hyper-salivatory choice of seven starters and mains, it takes you back to the masterfully inventive days of the 1970 with all the refinements of a modern and superbly creative kitchen team. This super bill of fare offers guests at the hotel a good reason to stay for a few nights without wondering where-else to eat. After temperature checks and hand sanitising we were warmly, and efficiently, welcomed into the bosom of this lovely old Hotel in the heart of early autumnal Derbyshire. The food was up there with the very best of British cooking. My starter of beautifully presented Tuna tartare with a soy flavouring and a thin yuzu gel covering was a sushi wonder and my wife's cauliflower soup with curry oil drizzle (another homage to the 70's) superbly creamy and flavoursome. Our mains (Stone bass with fennel and sardines and the superb goats curd and shallot ravioli) were accompanied by an excellent choice of wines by glass or bottle. Choice also included equally tasty but more traditional items from the bar menu and the meal was completed by desserts that would have made any Michelin pastry chef proud. We travelled for over an hour to reach this culinary haven and it was worth every minute. The restaurant, attentive waiting staff and, especially the chefs, provided us with an evening of foody delight. Just go there! You won't regret it."

"Booked a table at 4pm today for the England vs Denmark Euros game. New the Flyer would be busy as we were there for Englands first game on Sunday. We were not disappointed, its was super full. Ordered food at the bar 20 minutes before the game started, although busy only had to wait 10 minutes to get served. Team behind the bar all working hard and fast. Not to sure what the Manager was doing, taking pictures on his mobile of the busy floor for Facebook or instagram I assume. He should have been serving behind the bar. Leading from the front I think. That’s what his predecessor would have done. Moving on, food arrived in 30 minutes, burgers and sides for all of our party, like the food on the first England game night it was great, hot, tasty 5* from us. One of my friends went to order drinks from the bar 5 minutes before the half time bell. Tried to get served for nearly 15 minutes, no chance, called it a day and came and sat down empty handed, So another one in our group ordered on the app for delivery to out booth, yes we have done this before. The drinks arrived 30 minutes later.never mind. We will be booking for the next England game on Tuesday night. All we hope is that the team behind the bar is the maximum it can be, from 1 hour before kick off until the full time whistle, Also please do us all a favour and not play loud music during half time. Most people are there to watch the game and to listen to the analysis for 10 minutes at half time, loud music before the start and after full time please , I promise it would make a difference to your customers."
