"I last visited Peck's for a birthday in December 2022, and had the a la carte menu. It was quite good at the time, and I remembered this when I was making my booking for Valentine's Day, and was excited to sample the 6 course special menu (which is not cheap at £60 a head, but I paid much the same the previous years' VD at the Post House in Stafford. We were greeted nicely, and lead to a intimately lit area and immaculately laid table. First impressions were good. Issues raised by other Tripadvisor reviewers, in regard to poor quality of service, or a cold environment, were not present. The house was packed out, and our anticipation was high. But one problem, and it is a big problem, reported by others and experienced by myself: the food is terribly bland. I didn't expect big portions, but I did expect a great taste experience, and on that score, it fell very flat. Do the chefs taste what they are sending out? The dishes that they prepare may have great presentation, there's no doubting that, but the experience of eating it was a major let down. I left disappointed, and feeling that I did not get good value for my expensive meal. A shame."
