Sometimes the most thoughtful gift you can give someone isn’t something they can unwrap. It’s somewhere to go, something to look forward to and a meal they’ll still be talking about weeks later. That’s where our gift cards come in.

At The Peacock at Rowsley, we offer three gift card options:

• Afternoon Tea experience

• Saturday night tasting menu (with the option to include a wine flight)

• Flexible monetary voucher to spend across food, drink and stays

Whether you know exactly what the recipient would love or you’d rather give them the freedom to choose, there’s an option to suit.

Saturday nights, done properly

Every Saturday evening from 6 to 9pm, we serve a tasting menu that takes you on a journey from the first canapé through to the final petit fours. Each course is carefully crafted and every pairing is considered. It’s the kind of dinner that unfolds at its own pace and that’s very much the point.

Optional select or signature wine flights are available to complement each course and if you’re gifting the full experience, you can include one in the gift card so the recipient arrives with everything already taken care of.

All dishes are gluten free or have gluten free options available, and a dedicated plant-based menu is offered for vegetarian and vegan guests.

Our General Manager, Cat, sums it up perfectly:

“I’m absolutely delighted with this tasting menu and updated wine pairing, it’s truly my favourite we’ve offered so far at The Peacock, Rowsley. The experience begins beautifully with Franciacorta from Ferghettina, setting the tone with elegance and freshness.

My favourites are, the starter of 63-degree egg yolk, asparagus and ham hock is perfectly complemented by either the vibrant Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc or the refined Domaine Michel Girard Sancerre. For the main, the depth and character of the Primitivo or Valpolicella Ripasso elevate the duck dish wonderfully.

At this time of year, our gardens are looking especially beautiful, making the perfect setting to enjoy the snacks and a glass of Ferghettina in the sunshine a simple pleasure that really captures the spirit of the experience.

It’s a menu that showcases both creativity and harmony in every pairing, a true reflection of what we strive for here.”

Give them something to look forward to

Gift cards are available to buy online and can be used for Afternoon Tea, our Saturday evening tasting menu or as flexible monetary credit across food and drink.

They’re a simple way to give a great experience and let the recipient choose when the time feels right.

And of course, if you’d simply like to book a table for yourself, we’d love to see you.

Afternoons worth savouring

Our Afternoon Tea has recently been refreshed and it’s a lovely way to spend a few unhurried hours. Everything is made in house using carefully chosen seasonal ingredients: finger sandwiches balancing richer savoury notes with lighter fresher flavours, the chef’s seasonal savoury dishes, warm scones with cream and jam and a selection of seasonal pastries and desserts with a gentle mix of fruit, citrus and chocolate.

Whether you’re stopping by after exploring the Peak District or planning a catch-up with someone, Afternoon Tea at The Peacock is a considered way to spend an afternoon. Everything is prepared with care.

An Afternoon Tea gift card makes a thoughtful present for a birthday, an anniversary or any occasion where you want to give someone something a little more memorable than a bottle of wine.
