Tuesday - The Peacock, Northcote

This pub dating from the Victorian Gold Rush is very, very busy on Tuesday nights because of the quality of its cheap steaks.

I partook of a medium well with mushroom sauce while my colleagues in the team of professionals had a medium rare with garlic butter and a rare with garlic butter. All were pleased with how the chef cooked their steak (in my experience, medium well is hard to find - either being burnt or bloody).

The bruschetta entree was beautiful, but introduced the only quibble for the night - serving two bruschettas when there are three seated might be what the menu called for, but maybe some common sense should have prevailed.

In summary, make sure that you book this one in advance - it is popular - but well worth it for a good size steak cooked well and priced right.

Rating: 7 out of 10 (first post, might change this after a few more to judge against)

  1. Our learned colleague has indeed nailed the quality and rating of the steaks. He could perhaps have mentioned that the desserts at the Peacock - whilst not germane to the actual "Twelve Dollar Steak" concept, are damn fine in their own right!
