We went for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago after many recommendations. The service was great but the food was disappointing. The beef was v chewy and the veg were def heated up.

The Pack Horse Inn may be small but it’s very definitely perfectly formed. There are only 5 rooms but all are immaculately clean with lovely furnishings. The food was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. We’d definitely consider booking again. A huge thank you to Emma and her team (and also the lovely locals) from Clare and Alex x

Woken at 6.30 in the morning by the delivery from the brewery, not to bothered about that but was refused breakfast at 9.45 when they clearly state breakfast is served between 9 and 10 am. Then charged me full price and laughed it off like it’s a joke, pretty shocking customer service if they can’t be bothered to serve a paying guest!

Gorgeous little pub with lots of sunny or shaded outdoor seating and a really tasty menu! The staff are wonderful and the chef's were able to accommodate all our groups dietary requirements easily! Thank you for a lovely meal!

Lovely village pub, very accomodating of families with children. We had a few games of Domino's before our food with our three year old, then a drink outside in the sunshine when we'd eaten. Good quality, prompt service but we never felt rushed. Would recommend highly.
