Reviews
"Lots of parking at the The packhorse pub I had the Cod and chips with mushy peas, and the Nut Roast was a good meal as well price was affordable and they have a loyalty card for your next visit, over all will return."
"The second pub we've visited from this chain and both were brilliant. Attentive and helpful staff. Good menu with loads of good GF options. Food is fantastic, absolutely delicious... Highly recommended. Would love to see some more local beers."
"What a lovely restaurant! The building is an architectural gem, well maintained with the old interior, lower ceiling, wooden floors, fire place and robust furniture. There is a beaufitul garden with many tables and both garden and pub is well maintained. Warm and welcome staff. The food was delicous and portion was very decent. I come here for a Sunday Roast it is one of the best I have ever had. As always you can choose which meat you want and this come with roasted potatos and carrots, steam green vegetable mix(beans, leek and cabbage), creamy celeriac puree, yorkshire pudding and gravy. I can highly recommend this place!"
"The best steak and ale pie ever - a real whole pie with proper pastry all around, not the often served stew with a blob of puff pastry on top. There was a great atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and a log fire. Finally a warm pub! Would definitely recommend - oh and the Guinness was great!"
"Just moved in this area and discovered this beautiful place we visited yesterday. Went there with kids and was a very kid friendly place… staff was very kind and the place was nice. Ceiling was low and creates a very rustic feeling… apparently was built in 1600 sometime… though maintained well… Toilets were very old fashioned… but very clean! Food was nice and tasty… we just ordered appetisers yesterday… but next time we will perhaps try a few other things as well. Went there after sunset so couldn’t see much of outside."
