About Pesto At The Peacock

Pesto At The Peacock is an Italian restaurant at 1 Chesterfield Rd in Alfreton, set in an old English village pub with exposed beams and old wood. The menu is built around piattini, Italian small plates served tapas-style and meant for sharing, and each diner picks a set number of plates. Gluten-free and dairy-free options are available, and the staff explain the menu to guests. Reservations are taken, and the restaurant is often fully booked, so walk-ins are rarely possible. Large group bookings are handled. The restaurant is part of a pub chain and is open daily.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return to the Italian-style small plates, where choosing three or four dishes each and sharing around the table works well for groups. Several describe the plates as generous, freshly made and very tasty, and a few call the wine and beer selection great. Service draws steady praise as friendly, fast and attentive, even with a large hen party, and two reviewers say the staff handled gluten free and dairy free requests and patiently explained the gluten free options. The recurring caveat is seasoning: one reviewer found every dish too salty and peppery, leaving two of three plates unfinished and needing plain bread to soak up the sauce, while another found the pepperoni pizza a little salty. Others note the restaurant is regularly fully booked, that there is no dog free area inside, which one allergic diner flagged, and that one reviewer wished for fish on the menu. One reviewer left at 6:30 on a Tuesday with most tables already full.

    “Italian style Tapass, obviously a little pastiche but they are well done. Service is generally fast and pleasant, despite this being a busy restaurant. It’s rare that you can walk in, they are regularly fully booked. Only real downside is that there doesn’t appear to be a dog free area inside, which is not great for those of us who are allergic.”

    “Fantastic experience. The food is very very good, and being tapas style works so well if you are in a group as you can all share and try different bites. The wine and beer selection is also great. Staff are attentive and nothing was too much trouble. And its amazing value for money. You have a new regular customer !”
  • Ganid Gr
    “Excellent service by the ever cheerful and accommodating waitress Maya who was very patient in explaining to me the gluten free options on the menu. Nothing was too much for her. Other staff were equally great too. Food wise, I would have appreciated if they had fish on the menu which they didn't . My pepperoni pizza was a little salty tho generally food was good. Food wasn't perfect but service was excellent.”
  • Jaz Rai

  • Gemma
    “Lovely place, very nicely decorated. Lots of choice on the menu - it was hard to just choose three plates. Food came out quickly and was all very tasty. Our server was very nice - would love to come again.”
