Friendly, relaxed, professional service. Great choice of wines, drinks, tapas, light meals and snacks. Beautifully cooked Calamari. Comfortable lounge type seating. Perfect for some chill out time with your favourite tipple.

Attention to detail sums up the food, wine, service and ambience at The Peacock Den. From the elegant furniture to the stylish bathroom (which could double as a private dining area! featuring a huge salt lamp, The Peacock Den is warm and welcoming.With an impressive drinks menu featuring local and international wine, beer, cider and spirits together with traditional and locally inspired cocktails.The sharing menu has something for everyone from a mouthwatering braised pork belly with corn coconut purée and Thai chilli jam to hot black cherry donuts coated in cinnamon sugar.

Finally had a chance to visit and we were not disappointed. It's a small, intimate venue with cosy leather couches and colourful armchairs, with a few standard tables or sit at the bar if you prefer. Folding windows open out on to the street although the view is dominated by the local CFA across the road but this just adds to the slightly quirky atmosphere for somewhere out this neck of town.<br/ <br/ Music was kept to a low level which was appreciated and although the room soon filled up it wasn't too noisy (apart from a small gaggle of giggling girls whose shrieks interrupted our conversation now and then but let the young things have their fun... <br/ <br/ From our selection of four shared dishes, the food was perfectly delicious and arrived one by one which was nice, allowing us to savour each separately tender garlic prawns, crispy saganaki, a juicy beef slider and the most amazing roasted baby carrots. A little on the pricey side overall but can't fault the chef.<br/ <br/ Service was outstanding and the wine list comprehensive by the glass ranging from $11 up. My Expresso Martini (instead of dessert was delish!<br/ <br/ Summary: loved it and will be back regularly even if just for drinkies make sure you book beforehand is my tip.

Amazing food and great wine list (although would like to see more wine options by the glass). Make sure to book, as it is a popular little place!

Loving The Peacock Den since it arrived in October 2016. A very, very welcome addition to our local area. Excellent tapas style food the calamari is to die for and an extensive wine list, a must for wine lovers to stop in and try. Booking recommended on on Fri/Sat nights in particular. You will not be disappointed!!
