    Impeccable service and attention. The bar had everything you could want, food with delicious. Piano playing in the background, noise in the restaurant was low so he could be heard, excellent evening out.

    Booked in here for a Birthday Cocktail before dinner. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who seated us in a booth and returned with a complimentary glass of champagne and some bar snacks whilst our cocktails were being made. We didn't actually eat here reason for the 4 stars. Easy to book good choice of drinks very friendly attentive staff.

    We were helped by Karen who was amazing. Very attentive to all tables and quick at getting us started for another round. Charles was the bartender and he was incredible. He made us custom drinks based on our preferences and they were all delicious. The man is a magician!

    We only had cocktails so I can’t rate the food. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the cocktails were delicious. The general ambiance is very sophisticated, and I will definitely return.

    Very attractive bar, beautiful interior, drinks/cocktails were excellent....but the best part was the service, especially our waiter Mac (Macallan), exemplary service, well done.

    The Peacock Bar has a lovely ambience. The service was excellent - we were looked after by Stephanie, and our drinks were made by Joanna. We had a Martini and an Orchard, and they were lovely. A great start, before a superb dinner, to a lovely evening.
