Lord Edward Manners said: “These are testing times for everyone and while The Peacock continues to remain open for business, we wanted to diversify our offering and felt that a

takeaway menu would be a great help to the local community.

“Our head chef Dan Smith has put together a wonderful selection of dishes that we believe will appeal to all, giving people the choice to enjoy our food both here at The Peacock or in the comfort of their own home.”

Winner of the Hotel of the Year at the Marketing Peak District and Derbyshire Awards, the Peacock is the only restaurant in Derbyshire with three AA Rosettes.

The menu offers a selection of starters and mains, alongside a Ploughman’s, a range of open sandwiches, sides and desserts.
