We ordered Ginger & Prawn Dumplings, Seasonal Market Fish and Pulled Confit Duck. The food was good and the portion sizes were alright. Everything tasted well-prepared and filling, except the Duck as I felt it was overcooked. The presentation has a good chance for improvement — adding some sauce drizzles or garnishing could really elevate the dishes and make them look more appealing. Overall, a good dining experience with room for improvement in presentation. Staff is caring.
Food was amazing, we had the garlic bread, beef cheek, steak and the fondant. One of my favorite places to go. Highly recommend
A really lovely evening outing in a relaxed quiet atmosphere in a central city location. Great friendly staff coupled with fine food and drinks make The Thirsty Peacock top of the list for the place to be. Thoroughly enjoyable and recommended, already looking forward to our next visit.
