We hadn't been to the Packhorse to eat for years (back in those days they used to serve up 2 course Sunday lunches for about a fiver) so we were interested to see what would have changed. We visited the Packhorse on a Friday lunchtime at the end of November. Nope, they hadn't really fiddled with the interior - just... more

Visited this pub last night we were all very disappointed. The pub had no atmosphere, there was no music playing. The worst bit of all was that the food was not good enough to warrant the price. I have had better meals at £5.00 a time these were £15.00 and £4.75 for a small wine glass of strawberry mess. When... more

This place is a real old English country style pub serving proper food. Beats the city places hands down. A bit awkward to get to but it's worth it. Truly amazing food served in a proper relaxed pub atmosphere with tip top drinks to hand - all at a decent price. Well worth getting a taxi out of the town... more

The Packhorse Inn occupies an historic building in a picturesque village. You will want to take your camera along. The food was astonishingly good. I had the vegetarian entree involving squash and mushrooms one night and a chicken dish the next. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Two dining rooms--one several hundred years old, and appropriately furnished; one more modern... more

Friendly and efficient service. I ordered a vegetarian dish, butternut squash with mushrooms/brown rice, stroganoff. It was heavenly. Did not care for the raspberry terrine. The way it was assembled, it was too difficult/messy to eat. Be sure to bring your walking shoes; there are some gorgeous country trails out here. more

We eat at the Packhorse on the recommendation of our host at High Beeches B&B. Just a short walk and a great food. The pub was very traditional and the staff was very friendly. more

we ate twice in the Packhorse Inn and we thought it was a wonderful experience to sit in a very traditional, old and historic pub. The food was very good and we enjoyed the quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We felt very welcome. more

We had a lovely meal at the Packhorse (lamb and skate) and a delicious dessert (eton mess). The pub is very traditional and has a warm atmosphere and the stuff was very friendly. We learned a lot about the different types of ale and ciders and could try the type we choose first. It was the best choice after a... more
