Peacock
Inn

Michelin Bib Gourmand – Great food at good value

The Peacock Inn in Chelsworth, a Michelin Bib Gourmand sanctuary, orchestrates a refined Suffolk culinary narrative under the expert hand of Head Chef Sam Clover. The identity is built on hyper-local and seasonal garden-to-table ingredients, most notably in the saffron-cured red mullet. This signature dish offers a silken texture and a vibrant, aromatic profile, complemented by rose vinegar. Technical authority is further evident in the salt-baked celeriac and the roasted Gressingham duck, which boasts a lacquered, crisp skin and a succulent, tender interior. The menu features innovative compositions like native scallops with koji butter and fermented rhubarb, showcasing a mastery of contemporary and traditional techniques. Textures range from the brittle snap of linseed crisps to the velvety finish of a Pump Street chocolate mousse. Each plate is a visual masterpiece of precision and flavor balance, providing a high-signal journey through the soul of the English countryside.
