About This Pub

Ah, the Peacock Inn – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper British pub escape, tucked away in Forhill near Kings Norton, not far from the buzz of Birmingham. From what I've gathered from the reviews and their website, it's got that warm, country-style charm with a beer garden that's ideal for soaking up the sun with a fresh pint or trying out their new Golden Nectar ale, which even supports a good cause like bee conservation. The food is where it really shines; folks are raving about the pub classics, seasonal dishes, and those Sunday roasts that bring everyone together for a proper meal. Prices are fair too, making it easy to pop in without breaking the bank. On the flip side, it's not all smooth sailing – a few people mentioned waiting longer than expected for their table, even with a booking, and there were some slip-ups with orders, like mix-ups on starters or desserts not quite matching what was asked for. Still, the staff seem to handle these with a smile, often throwing in a free round to make up for it, which is a nice touch. Overall, if you're after a spot for good grub, a chat with mates, and a bit of that traditional pub feel, I'd say give the Peacock Inn a go – it's got more highs than lows, and with an average rating hovering around 4.2, it's clear most people leave with a smile.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think hearty pub classics and seasonal specials that really hit the spot, with rave reviews for things like the Sunday roasts and fresh desserts.
  • Friendly staff who go the extra mile; they've been described as welcoming and quick to sort out any issues, like offering free drinks when there's a wait.
  • Lovely atmosphere in this country-style pub, complete with a peaceful beer garden that's perfect for escaping the hustle of Birmingham and enjoying a pint or two.
  • Great value for money, especially with their new menus and special offers that make it an affordable treat for a casual night out.
Cons
  • Sometimes there's a bit of a wait for your table, even with a booking, which can put a dampener on the evening.
  • Occasional mix-ups with orders, like getting the wrong dish or delays in serving, as mentioned in a few reviews which stopped it from being a full five-star experience.
  • Not everything is seamless – for instance, smaller portions or specific requests might not always come out quite right the first time.

Great food off fathers day menu at a very reasonable price . Friendly staff. On things stopping me from giving it full 5 stars were as follows. Waited half an hour past our booking time for table . But fair enough the waitress gave us a round of free drinks. 3 year old child's dessert came with a huge table/ serving spoon . And the small jug of milk for a coffee hadn't been washed properly, it still had dried custard around the inside. All said and done, we would go again.

Family visit from Somerset. Table booked for 6 for 8.The rooms are well decorated and nice Atmosphere. Drinks order taken quickly ,then food orders My mom only eats small meals. She was last to be served first they brought out a mixed grill then came to ask what we ordered the starter of mushroom what a waste of money 2 tiny covered in cold sauce on a cold plate. Then her chicken strips undercooked and dripping in oil. And no chips we cancelled them as she had someone else’s.Brother in-law had the fish it was still raw in the middle he left it. My food was ok I had the smothered chicken but it had a weird taste possibly the BBQ sauce my partner had mine. But 10/10 for dessert. Would I return no not for food but I like the beer garden.
