About This Pub
Ah, The Peacock in Kettering – it's one of those pubs that really knows how to make you feel welcome from the moment you step through the door, with its friendly staff and lively atmosphere that's just perfect for catching up over a pint or enjoying some live sports. I've heard from loads of folks that the breakfasts are an absolute winner, all hearty and done just right, and the menu gets a refresh every so often, which keeps things exciting whether you're popping in for lunch or a cheeky karaoke session on Fridays. It's got that great value feel too, so you won't break the bank, but honestly, it's not all roses – a couple of mates have mentioned getting meals that seemed a tad small for the price, and when they raised it, the response wasn't as helpful as it could have been. Still, with an overall solid rating, it's worth a visit if you're in the area; just go in with realistic expectations and you'll likely have a cracking time.

Well we were told the Peacock did a good breakfast. So visited today found the place very welcoming atmosphere was great as was the staff that served us, ordered a small breakfast and a hearty breakfast 2 x toast and 2 mugs of tea. Did not wait too long for service and the food was georgous. Best breakfast we have in a long time smashing sausages when other places use catering sausages these were epic a proper sausage but all the items were excellent quality well done to the Reacock kettering we will be back soon
Always good for a good pint and the food is great. Menu gets rotated and improved every other month or so and that keeps the place feeling fresh. Good for breakfast, lunch or a fun night out - especially with karaoke on Fridays!
We visited earlier in the week with a large party, staff very welcoming and super friendly and recommend great drinks. The food came out for the whole group all at the same time without fault! Would recommend and will be returning for another visit soon.
Food was highly disappointing! You’re paying adult prices for children sized meals! The sides did not even fill the ramekin but was paying £2.50/£3 a side… when complaining as we had just spent near enough £40 on the food the man couldn’t have cared less. Just kept saying it’s HR decision, there was 0 empathy. Used to be regulars and enjoy the food here but. The food and customer service has massively gone down hill.
Had a breakfast Hearty Irish asked for bacon and sausage well done, all came out just as I asked. Eggs were cooked perfectly, also Phoebe served me quickly and efficiently. All in all a satisfying visit.
