Coronavirus: Top Peak District restaurant launches takeaway service 'to help community'

With people being asked to self-isolate and socially distance themselves during the pandemic, The Peacock at Rowsley says it wants to do its bit by diversifying.

The venue has created a takeaway menu in addition to its normal restaurant and bar service.

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.

Customers can also order homemade Peacock treacle bread with homemade butter.

Hot dishes include: Derbyshire sausages, mashed potato, glazed carrots and onion gravy; lightly spiced monkfish, roast cauliflower and broccoli with cucumber chutney, new

potatoes, curry mussel sauce; rib eye steak with chips, onion rings, stuffed mushroom and bearnaise sauce and celeriac, potato and truffle pie, roasted root vegetables, shitake mushroom sauce.
