I have to admit to never having set foot inside this place, but I have eaten their food. I was staying in the nearby Premier Inn, to attend a family funeral, and while my 11 year old autistic son was having a meltdown over choosing somewhere to eat, I sent my extremely stressed husband and sister to just go and get their own meal. In the end my son calmed down enough to go to the adjoining Beefeater, where I waited about an hour and spent £33 on two ridiculously tiny meals. I was absolutely starving, but my amazing sister persuaded the equally amazing people at the Packhorse, where they were eating, to cook me a meal, which they brought home in a takeaway container. Presented on cardboard, it was still beautifully arranged, and apparently you CAN eat a full meal with a McFlurry spoon. The meal was absolutely delicious, beautifully cooked, and so wonderful after a hard evening.

Booked a table to have a meeting of our project engineers to introduce three senior managers to the group. On the night we went mid week you could have walked in and got a table but I guess it has the potential for getting very busy. The car park is large as are the spaces with easy acces to the side of the pub. They have a large outdoor area that could be good in the summer. We all had a really good meal, quality quantity and presentation were really good. They had a good selection of drinks at the bar including some no alcoholic ones for us drivers. The staff were attentive without being in your face. If you want a good meal this is certainly a place to go. The place has a good decor but some low ceilings so be careful if you are tall.

We were staying at a local hotel nearby, so we recently had the pleasure to dine at the restaurant here and had an amazing meal. The food was impeccable. I had ham croquettes, pork belly roast (with the best pub roasties I've ever experienced) and panacotta and Irish coffee for dessert. All staff were very friendly and well mannered. Massive compliment to the young chef and his team too. Thank you.

Such a nice pub serving very good food

Tasty little gastro pub with great food and friendly service.

It is a lovely local pub. The food is (better than most) pretty good, better than many restaurants. It is a bit pricey. London prices and the tables still suffer (however slight) from that typical drink was split, stickiness. Which when you rest your wrist on the table between mouthfuls is not my favourite feeling. If the prices were a bit lower, we would be eating here more often.

Nice place, tasty food - offers a comprehensive vegan menu + vegan kids meals. There are disabled toilets and baby changing facilities.

The food from the Sunday roast menu was really enjoyable. We also order the vegan roast and that was also nice. Our highlight was the attentive staff who were very welcoming.

This pub preserves the style of the last century. The indoor is comfortable for folks to chat and the outdoor is comfortable to enjoy sunshine. The cod I ordered there was perfect. Nice dish!

The food here is fantastic. Not a bad meal so far. We had a few starters to share for lunch and they were all excellent.

Very busy, had a really nice pizza. Half the table made an error in ordering starter as delayed everyone's main. Some items pretty good value, probably comparable to other establishments for more expensive items.

Excellent food, good menu choice, warm friendly atmosphere and very friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend

We were there for a business dinner. It was a nice Xmas food, really good service and polite staff. It was a quiet atmosphere so we could talk and understand each other, rather than a noisy pub atmosphere. We all enjoyed it.

We had a large family Christmas lunch (11) and have no complaints. Easy location to get to with plenty of parking. Food was delicious. Catered for allergies. Everything was eaten by all and we had a good selection. Fair prices, pleasant staff who were very attentive. Definitely recommend.

Overall very nice food and lovely staff however there was a hair in the tomato pasta which was a bit off putting.

Excellent food, very good service.Because the food was cooked to order we had to wait longer than usual ,but well worth it. Definitely worth a visit.

Eating here was a great experience. The waitresses were attentive and service was great. The food tasted really good and the pub was quite busy so great atmosphere, but not too loud. The pub was convenient to where we stayed. Would definitely recommend

Absolute gem! This place is even better than Michelin star! Specially recommend the scallops and venison they were the best I have ever had! This is one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten in the UK!

Pulled off the A34 for food at 4.15pm Very accommodating staff gave us a table for 2 and a dog. Food didn't take long and was perfect. Tandoori chicken burger meal and steak burger meal and an amazing pizza garlic cheese bread. What a great stop. Would definitely recommend.

Sadly, the food was not up to the value of the price paid. The atmosphere was lacking, especially as it was Valentines Day. The starters were disappointing, very small portion. Very friendly staff, can't fault them.

Outstanding service from Emily and the rest of the team at the Packhorse. Food is always beautiful to look at aswell as really reasonably priced and delicious. Emily went above and beyond with decorating the glass room for my mums 60th today, I was incredibly touched and all the staff were so attentive to make sure everyone had everything they needed. Stunning selection of food and all of the party were super impressed with the quality and presentation. We noticed every detail of effort and it was so so sweet of you. A huge, huge thank you from all of us for making our afternoon SO special and stress free.

We booked for a large party to attend to celebrate my mums 60th birthday, from booking up until the day, the staff have been so attentive and have gone above and beyond. Emily and the team flew us away today, they decorated the room for us adding additional extra touches for us aswell as sorting place card names at short notice, colouring for the children.. the service was seamless and the food was served promptly, it was all incredibly tasty aswell as looking amazing. I’m not sure this review could thank you enough but you have really made today very special, so thank you very much.

Catered for our large group for Xmas lunch amazingly well. Delicious food (pre ordered from their Xmas menu) and the staff were all friendly and super attentive. Can highly recommend the venison

Just had a fantastic steak here with my wife. Mentioned it was are 41st anniversary any after the meal we were presented with a great dessert. Fantastic service I can’t fault. Thank you to all the staff.

Food tasted good but portions a little small. I had mussels and only 6 on the plate with 2 not opened up. Shouldn't have served them, needs a bit more quality control. Desserts were delicious and decent portion size. Unfortunately were located on table by kitchen so no atmosphere of the rest of the pub as in a corridor type area. Seemed better in the main restaurant area.

Had a meal out here last week, food was great unfortunately the service was super slow. Not very busy, still a 45 min wait for main course. If it was not for the quality of the food I would have only given 2 stars. Potentially a great place to eat, just need to work on the service.

Visited for an evening meal with friends, and sat in the restaurant section. Warm evening, but the space was well ventilated & comfortable. Service was fine, and food good. I had salt & pepper squid, fish & chips, with Heineken Zero; coffee to finish. (~£30). The fish batter was slightly 'well done' & crispy for me, but not a big issue.
