| Oh dear what can we say about this pretentious little inn? We went to the Packhorse on recommendation on Bank Holiday Monday and were there when it opened at midday (i.e. empty). Beautiful setting and lovely interior then spoilt within 5 minutes by a stroppy barmaid, being told exactly where we were required to sit (despite no reserved signs), having chairs and place settings taken away during our meal without a comment ('excuse me would you mind if....' would have been polite), meals cleared the second the last mouthful was taken and the ultimate snub (so they thought) - NO MINTS at bill time. We actually laughed all the way home from what was a lovely camping trip in nearby Longnor. Don't go here if you want a good country pub atmosphere as you just don't get it - it is a business designed to get the most cash from the most unsuspecting tourists. A much more pleasant option is The Cheshire Cheese in Longnor - you'll have a much better time and no snobbery there! chippers - 28 May 2008 22:52 |
| On a Sunday, don't take a car as car park is tiny and very tight, and make sure you book in advance. IanD - 4 Sep 2006 22:31 |
| We have included The Packhorse as a lunchtime halt on several country walks in the last year. Now another of our "Top 5 Derbyshire Pubs", the atmosphere, the food and the beer are all very very good. All the staff have ensured a warm welcome on every visit - a gem of a place!

| This is a really really lovely pub! It's in a really nice quiet pretty village...and their dog is very friendly!We had lasagne (£6ish i think), really tasty and nice chips with it too! Last time i went they had some mulled cider on, not sure if they have it all the time but it was really nice....they do a fab bailey's hot chocolate too! Can't wait to go again!

| Fantastic food, excellent beer, fabulous & sensible & inexpensive wine list, friendly, child friendly, dog friendly... Really, perfect! We had marvellous fish and chips (£6?) (as promised, vvv light batter, and thick, nongreasy chips), and salmon with a prawn and hollandaise sauce (£9?), which came with a selection of fresh and perfectly cooked veg. Both garnished with salad. All thoughtfully presented. Then proper treacle pudding and custard (rather than plain sponge with a bit of golden syrup on top). All washed down with a New Zealand Sav Blanc (£12). Came to a dot over £30. Rebecca A J Lake - 29 Mar 2005 10:29 |
