    This place was amazing for a random lunch on the way back from Yorkshire to Surrey. The food was delicious and they had a great menu. The staff were super friendly and really efficient. The lunches came out nice and quickly and perfectly cooked. Will definitely try and remember this place and visit again next time we are passing.

    This is the first time I have visited The Packe Arms and it won't be the last! We had a table of 14, were able to pre order our food, and had our own assigned area. The menu has so many choices and everyone said how hot, fresh and delicious their meal was! This was very impressive for a large group booking. There was also a varied pudding and drinks menu. I recommend the sticky toffee pudding, this was so good!! The staff were very accommodating, welcoming and friendly. They made the evening very enjoyable for us all.

    Lovely old pub to visit in the countryside. Came here for my partners birthday meal which was the first time I had visited. I had the ‘Trio Sunday meal’ which was more than perfect. Shoutout to the Great staff who looked after us on the day!

    The food was fresh and well prepared. The staff , from the assistant manager to our waiter were friendly, professional and efficient throughout. The menu had a variety of options for the family and the portions were generous. The only thing that was missing was a few of the dishes on the menu were not available.

    Absolutely fantastic!!!!! Could not of asked for a better meal out with my girlfriend. All staff really friendly and helpful, especially when my girlfriends phone had died, they happily assisted with a charger as she was expecting an important phone call. Now for the food Starters of BBQ chilli chicken and calamari perfect defiantly recommend. Main meal: Steak in red wine pie with mash or chips and chunky carrots all cooked to perfection Desserts: Raspberry Eton mess. mouth watering Will be paying another visit soon.

    The staff were absolutely phenomenal, they went above and beyond to try and accommodate you. They were friendly, funny and made you feel very welcome. The food was excellent, done to a high standard. My only comment would be that I think it's slightly on the more expensive side for what you get, but that's fine pub dining, it's going to be. Would definitely recommend this place just for the staff on their own!

    Lunched at The Packe on Saturday 25 March (table 6 for 5 at 1pm!) for our mother's birthday. Adam showed us to our table and James served our table (Adam also was serving). Great choice of food which was delicious and the service was great. Staff friendly and welcoming. James and Adam were fun and added to the occasion. Would definitely recommend ... and we will be back :-)

    Went for a lovely meal here last night. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed despite being a Friday evening. It was nice to take our time and not feel rushed. There were plenty of options on the menus to choose from. I had the turkey from the festive menu and it was delicious. The desserts were also really good, my friends really enjoyed the profiteroles! The staff were friendly and helpful, especially our server Dannii who ensured we had a wonderful evening.

    It’s been 3 years since our last meal at the Packe Arms due to the poor food. Thought we’d give it a go as things do change. The atmosphere, welcome and decor was good. We didn’t like the food, the diet coke was very weak, the salad wasn’t dressed despite having asked and being told it was dressed. The hunters chicken was dry and not really edible for my 14 yr old son. The Turkey breast meal was poor. The vegetables were dreadful and clearly been cooked a few hours beforehand. Cutting into the ‘spongy’ roast potatoes and seeing the oil spill out onto the plate wasn’t great. We chose to eat in the restaurant due to the fact it had service, however the level of service wasn’t great and having to get up to go to the bar to order more drinks and then taking 15 mins to arrive at the table when the place wasn’t very busy. Staff were polite but not very attentive. When we were taken to our table I was concerned that the family on the next table were just returning food to the kitchen. Very disappointing experience.

    I entered the pub via the back door and met a blonde lady walking towards me. Later found out she is assistant manager. She neither looked at me or spoke a word . I walked to the bar and she returned with an expression like she had swallowed a wasp. I explained I had a table reservation and on giving my name she grabbed 4 menus and set off at speed. I stood still but she carried on regardless. I asked my guests to follow her as I waited at the bar as I am quite particular about beer and you had one of my favourites, London Pride, of which I have drunk several thousand pints(yes). I asked the long haired server to remove the sparkler, which he did and poured a very flat, lifeless pint. He asked if it was OK and I replied I had seen better to which he replied "Oh have you". Had I not had guests I would have left. Our food was OK, fish cakes were very overcooked, gammon steak was good, but why 2 eggs and no pineapple, and the so called triple cooked chips were soft. Asked to have the prawn and scallops starter as a main course but came as a starter size, but delicious. I quess a misunderstanding as the waitress while good was clearly inexperienced. Finally on examining the bill later found an inexplicable charge of £7.40 for " Wet." See below. Took 5 phone calls to get an answer, to be told it was for soft drinks ,ie Peroni alcohol free. Now going to waste any more time on such a stupid system as none of my friends have any intentions of returning.

    Fantastic meal and very friendly and helpful staff

    Very nice pub with very friendly and helpful staff. I've given it four stars because since the first lockdown the menu has been drastically reduced for meal options such as vegan or gluten free. If the old menu was restored it would get five stars.

    Sadly very disappointed, waited an hour for a meal which had been cooked from the freezer, chicken & chips (ordered hunters chicken). No chicken to it, more like breadcrumbs. Literally a dry piece of chicken and a handful of chips (that’s it). Afraid it’s the worst meal I’ve ever had and terrible value for money (£13.75) no food had been eaten off the plate when this picture was taken.. that’s it! (Kids chicken & chips down the road at the rancliffe arms is double the size and comes with fresh veg and more than half this price). Thank goodness I’d eaten a starter which wasn’t much better or I’d still be hungry. King prawn cocktail, more like frozen prawns in mayo! Will not be returning and used to love this place.

You guys are inspiring for the future of our trade, again well done 10/10 Will be returning!!!

    Lovely two course meal. It was busy but the waitresses were both fast and friendly. The flower pot dessert was really good. Highly recommended. Dog friendly, with treats and water bowls for dogs in the bar area.

    £13.25 for the vegan roast. Four tiny potatoes. If you’re vegan… don’t bother. We will not be visiting again.

    A charming place in the countryside with spectacularly good food at a very reasonable price. Delicious and very generous portions of Fish & Chips. And what about the desserts? Delicious cheesecake and brownie with whisky ice cream. Highly recommended.

    The meal I had was good however I did not appreciate a jar of Stokes classic mustard being placed on the table with a desert spoon placed in it and the menu appeared limited with the only fish dish not available.

    For a chain resturant this is definitely a leader, Booked online which was so easy, Arrived to a warm welcome and seated, Drinks order was taken promptly along with starters, The starters arrived in quick time and were very very tasty, Me and my lady decided to order a stone baked pizza to share which again came hot and tasted amazing, Overall the staff were all atentative and happy, The food was great and we had a very cosy night, We will definitely be back, Thank you Packe Arms
