Was seated in a cramped corner, had to ask someone to move to get to the table. I had booked a month in advance and expect a decent table - being told how busy it was because of valentines day doesn't make it right. The food is overpriced for pub grub, the pictures made it look better than it was. Won't be returning.

Friendly staff who were attentive but not overbearing. Good menu choice especially as one of our party required gluten free.

Hello to the team who were working today. This is just to say a big THANK YOU for the lovely lunch and service we received today whilst celebrating my parents 66th Wedding Anniversary. The food was delicious, my mother hasn't eaten a 3 course meal for about 2 years, she did today! (My sea bass was lovely...and the sauce!) It was a great surprise and a delightful touch to have their desserts served on a specially decorated platter, thank you so much, the perfect end to a lovely meal. I must also add that the staff couldn't have been more kind and helpful, we moved table, took ages to make decisions, we never felt rushed and always felt looked after. Thank you, we will definitely be visiting again! (Dad's 90 in March!) Best wishes, Sarah Carter

Having been many times to the Packhorse in the 6 years that we've lived down the road from it, I was pleased it looked, felt and tasted much better than previous take overs & reincarnations! The atmosphere was pleasant and tasteful, the staff were friendly and the food was good. We had the cajun halloumi burger. Myself and 2 friends were happy with our visit, although as I'm dairy free I missed out on coffee and a pudding as there was no alternative options. My friend requested a mocktail which was not available either. I'd suggest at least a fruit salad as a pudding option and soya milk for drinks as there are a fair few dairy intolerant people these days.
