to The Peacock
Did a family brunch on a Sunday. Everyone had 1 of their Sunday Roasts. Beef was tender and a large portion. Best Yorkshire ever. Absolutely huge. The turkey was a big portion with stuffing, potatoes and vegetables. Large selection of beers, wines and mixed drinks. Lovely room for dining. Prices are very reasonable. Can’t wait to go back.
