Peacock Farm, Bracknell

Grade II listed farmhouse refurbished in a classic timber style with high vaulted beams throughout. The main bar area contains comfy armchairs and settees along with both traditional and high tables and chairs. Walking through the bar leads to a large dining area, with additional rooms off to the sides.

A large cabinet holding several books and clocks is an unusual feature, as is a large palm tree reaching up to the ceiling. At the far end is a log fire with logs placed with precision all around.

Connected to the main dining area is the recently added/refurbished ‘The Cottage’ and the contrast could not be more different. The Cottage has low beams and several ‘nooks and crannies’ for a more intimate, low light drinking and dining experience. Outside is a space containing benches and parasols for fine weather eating and drinking. There is no designated smoking area.

The food is regionally sourced and high quality. The pub is often very busy at lunchtimes. It is always advisable for diners to book a table especially in the evenings and on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. A number of themed evenings are held such as Monday quiz nights and Wednesday burgers. Blue Light card holders receive a discount Monday to Friday over a minimum spend. Dogs are welcome and a number of products are available for purchase, such as dog treats.

The bar has six handpumps - three real ales doubled up. All beers are from the Hall & Woodhouse (Badger) portfolio. Tasting notes can be found on tables around the premises

As the pub is situated within a housing estate, finding the large car park can be a challenge. The pub is visible from the main road, but the car park is located behind the pub and cannot be seen when approaching it through the estate roads. The car park does have a number of electric charging points installed.
