"Went to go for food on a mid week evening, was not greeted by anyone. Found a table and when going to the bar to order, was told “we saw you come in and the table you’re sat at is reserved (there was nothing on the table to show it was reserved)” the condescending tone and approach by the young lad slumped behind the till (not even asking what I’d like to drink) was very off-putting when I was simply taking my mother out for dinner. We both agreed we will not be coming to the pack horse again having been coming here for a number of years. Very much negative impression of the team who clearly have no passion for keeping loyal customers. UPDATE Thank you for your reply Pack Horse Owner, it is clear to me that my review was not read properly as nothing related to what day we visited. Either your staff are behaving differently to you than when in front of customers or you’re oblivious to their behaviours. Also, dining in the conservatory was not offered, in fact the staff member behind the bar (sat on a stool) made no effort to even get up to locate a suitable table. The defensive tone of your reply tells me that you don’t see that anything needs improving despite me not being the only reviewer to point out the lack of customer service for the price point of your products/services. Your reply has made it very clear to me that the staff take the lead from the management in this instance."

Excellent meals (3rd time I have been), staff always polite and very approachable.Meals are not overpriced, the only minor problem is the location but that is part of Pack's charm.

Lovely pub, staff are friendly and attentive. Food seems pricey but get plenty for your buck. Nice cask ales, and massive bonus dog friendly To be warned it does get super busy at times as it's very popular. View menu

What a gem of a find. A lovely country pub and beautiful food with stunning views. Gluten free and vegan options available, with quality home cooked food. Very classy but at the same time very relaxed. We will definitely be back, I look forward to sitting outside in the summer. We hadn't booked but I would recommend it, we were dining early and managed to get a table for 3, but it was busy.

This place is well worth the drive. It's up in the beautiful countryside, great atmosphere, great food. I have eaten and drank here several times and it doesn't disappoint. I did however have the cheese and onion pie which had a larger proportion of potato (big pet hate! than I would have liked however the quality was there. Lovely log fires to keep you warm and a selection of real ales which are well kept to keep you hydrated! Add this to your to do list, it won't disappoint!

We stopped in to The Pack Horse with some visiting family without having booked hoping for a table. Whilst the restaurant was fully booked we were sat in a very comfortable part of the bar. Each of our group of 4 had a different starter and main and all were very well cooked, generously portioned and well presented. The service was polite, efficient, attentive without being obtrusive. We have been several times and never disappointed. We hope to return in the summer to eat outdoors and admire the views. View menu

I would highly recommend the pack horse , a lovely place with a great menu. Staff were friendly and the food was great. This place has been the best place I've dined out in the past year , the views from the outside are amazing and can imagine that in the summer it would be extremely busy , we booked a table in advance and I'm glad we did as the place was really busy. My dad had the fish and chips and the fish was enormous with loads of crispy batter the ladies both went for the cheese and onion pie and I had the beef and ale pie. The fish looked in my opinion the best dish but unfortunately I didn't get a taste.

Red cabbage was all over the plate not neatly placed. The yorrshire resembled cake. I asked for more gravy d...
