| I love the Pack Horse and have enjoyed every visit. You need to know your way around a bit and it helps to read the signage. That's Yorkshire; get over it. Most recent visit on July 25th. After a day in the baking heat cycling up Holm Moss, Scapegoat Hill and that bugger of a climb that leads up through Heptonstall, all we wanted was a good pint of bitter, a big plate of hearty, home cooked grub and a decent drop of scotch. The Pack Horse provided all this, no bother. cheesyal - 13 Aug 2013 01:15 |
| Nice out of the way pub, but check opening hours as these are restricted in winter. Coal fires make it a cosy location and the food, for what it is, is cheap. Beer usually in very good nick. No use asking for chips though as they don't do 'em! Dogs seem to be welcome as there's often one or two in. Quite close to the Pennine Way and if you're feeling energetic there's a nice circular walk to Haworth or a shorter out and back to 'Wuthering Heights' TheGuiltyOne - 26 Jan 2011 15:24 |
| There will always be some disgruntled punter somewhere and you can only ever find them on sites like these - if you have a grievance you try to air it somewhere i guess - shame as this pub is a real gem and run by proper people with proper personalities - granted i ve been there when its been packed out and the staff are a little fraut to say the least but if you cant see that then you re a dolt......for every thousand public walking thru the door - a few unhappy customers isnt bad at all - i ll keep going there - the dogs are a real charm of the place and the beer and food excellent.......we all have bad days now and then and we dont air are grievances then do we - keep up the good work packhorse walker1 - 24 Jun 2010 00:25 |
| Ignore the rating! This is an excellent pub in a beautiful setting at the top of Hardcastle Crags. The beers are kept in excellent condition and there is an excellent selection of Malt Whisky - the Landlord is an enthusiast, Order the food at the kitchen (no chips!) and you will find you get excellent fayre in ample proportions. The beef broth is thick enoiugh almost to stand your spoon in and the Monster Burger is just what it says. The roasts are excellent. Usually served by bus 906 at Weekends and Bank Holidyas in Summer and you can walk back down through the Craggs to Hebden Bridge, calling at the Blue Pig on the way. Riggy - 23 Mar 2010 14:16 |
| Contrary to earlier opinion, this is a gem of a pub. The beer is normally from Thwaites and Copper Dragon, the food is all home made and reasonably value (try their 'Monsterburger' - two large handmade beefburgers in a bun) I've been visiting it for 30 years now, and have never had any problem with the staff, the quality of food and beer and the general ambience of the place. The only somewhat quirky thing is that they don't do chips, and if you even ask for them, you are expected to make a donation to the local Mountain Rescue as a penalty - and what a worthy cause that is. Opening times are a bit variable. Worth checking before you go there. If you're walking and find it closed, it's a long long way to the next hostelry. (although on Saturdays and Sundays from Easter to October, there's a bus service from Hebden Bridge). arihall - 30 Jul 2009 19:25 |
