If I remeber rightly they had the Ellesmere pub then moved to one in Beighton I think

 

Can you recall what year it went from a bank to a restaurant? (just curios).

I had my 21st birthday party at the Old Coach House back in 1981.

I had to book it several months in advance because it was so popular.

A lovely meal and then dancing upstairs.

I still have the photos of that night somewhere............

My mum & dad used to take me to the peacock in the 60s. I used to go to the Old Coach House when I was older enjoyed them both.

Had my wedding breakfast there on 30 Mar 1984. Only seven of us. My husband and I always ordered Mixed Grills - the best! 

Also, often went there for office dos. 

 

The Peacock was the first Chinese Restaurant I ever ate in.

I think you will find the Peacock in the wicker opened in the 50s. 

 

1959 i think

Yes the Peacock was one of the first Chinese restaurants in Sheffield, the first was the Rickshaw (Devonshire Street) followed by Zing Vaa (the Moor), then one at Hillsborough corner and another at Highfields (London Road), last two names I forget.
