(just curios).  It was ealy 80s , the people who bought the peacock also took over the old bank and extended the restaurant and turned it into The Coach House , iit was deffinately before 1984 , if I remember rightly the people who opened it also owned the Venus Steak place on the moor Edited October 26, 2018 by painterman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Daven   10 #54 Posted October 26, 2018 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............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Anne Defries   0 #57 Posted September 16, 2019 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
