However good the main course was, there should always be a little room left over for something sweet. It’s the part of the meal that lingers in the memory, and it’s why we take our dessert menu just as seriously as everything that comes before it.
The Peacock at Rowsley has built a reputation as one of the standout restaurants in the Peak District. Our kitchen team changes the dessert menu regularly, so there’s always something new to try. Here’s what you’ll find right now.
Our current dessert menu
Strawberry, White Chocolate, Balsamic and Black Pepper
Sweet strawberry and white chocolate meet the sharp tang of balsamic and a gentle warmth from black pepper.
Dark Chocolate, Blackberry and Lemon
Rich dark chocolate paired with blackberry and a touch of lemon to keep things balanced. This is also our nominated charity dessert. For every one sold, £1 goes towards CPRE, The Countryside Charity.
Apricot, Almond, Vanilla and Lemon Thyme
A softer plate for those who prefer their dessert on the lighter side, with a subtle hit of lemon thyme.
Mango Panna Cotta, Coconut and Pistachio
Silky panna cotta with tropical mango and coconut, finished with the crunch of pistachio.
Dark Chocolate Mousse, Strawberry, Balsamic and Black Pepper
The vegan take on our chocolate and strawberry pairing, featuring the same balsamic and black pepper combination.
British Cheese Board
Artisan biscuits, candied walnuts, celery sticks, grapes and a quince and apple chutney accompany a selection of British cheeses.

The perfect way to finish
A good dessert deserves a good drink alongside it.
We have a selection of dessert and fortified wines to pair with your pudding, from Moscato d’Asti to aged Sandeman tawny port.
If you’d rather finish with a cocktail, try one of our after-dinner favourites such as a Brandy Alexander, a Cherry Alexander or our own Peacock Espresso Martini.
Why dessert matters to us
At The Peacock at Rowsley, we believe a meal is judged as much by its ending as its beginning. Our chefs put real thought into how each dessert is composed and it’s a philosophy shared across all of Longbow Venues, where good food, honest service and a genuine sense of place matter more than anything else on the plate.
