Pack Horse Inn — Restaurant in Derbyshire Dales

We visited the Pack Horse Inn while cycling in the Peaks and seeking out good beer. Overall, this is our best find. The beer is really exceptional if you want well kept cask ale with a landlord who knows what he's selling. This was combined with a traditional local pub setting. We also ate and while the menu was reduced to help manage the issues associated with COVID19 we wouldn't have noticed the reduction if we weren't told! The home made pies hit the spot on a cold windy day cycling trails and hills. If you want good beer in a peak district countryside setting then the Pack Horse Inn is the place to visit.

The beer garden is a great place to relax in the sunshine, but if the weather is against you, the pub itself is a cosy...

First meal I had the Stilton and chicken and it was lovely, not over powering and came with chips. Second meal I had a bbq chicken and cheese wrap but found it was smothered in way too much sauce but still tasty. This also came with chips (chips are AMAZING and reminded me if my grandma's home made northern chips!). My oartner had fish and chips and it was delicious. Very dog friendly and took my little dachshund in on a couple occasions. Nice beer garden and easy to park. Highly recommend if...
