Sunday lunch at The Peacock at Rowsley is back!
A once famous offering was rested after lockdown. Due to feedback from valued customers and our talented kitchen team, we’re delighted to announce that Sunday lunch is available to book from Sunday, March 9, 2025.

Head Chef, Dan Smith, is delighted and said, ‘I’m really looking forward to bringing Sunday lunch back to The Peacock at Rowsley. Since Covid, we haven’t been doing it and we were famous for it in the past.’
Prepare For a Sunday Roast Like No Other
The Peacock at Rowsley’s iconic roast is a cut above the rest thanks to the provenance of the meat we supply from our long-time butchers, Coates in Darley Dale.
Hear what Dan had to say about Sunday lunch in this clip from Instagram;
Dan said, ‘Working with Nick Coates, our butcher in Darley Dale, we’ll be doing an amazing sirloin of beef and slow-cooked pork belly, both from Derbsyhire. Nick goes to Bakewell cattle market, he knows all the farmers in the area so he can literally pinpoint the exact farm where the meat is from.’
‘He takes the meat away and ages it and then we get the sirloin on the bone, prep it, take the bones, cook with the bones, make the gravy from it, cook the sirloin off and wow – it’s stunning!’
