The Pack Horse — Restaurant in England

I attended a wake on 27th March. When we arrived the doors were closed and we had to sit in our cars because it was cold and raining. When we entered the pub it was freezing and the food was not ready. We had to wait for the coffee machine to warm up. After about an hour the food was brought out. Sadly some of the party had to leave by then. The food consisted of pies containing little or no meat and were cut in half. The tiniest of sausage rolls, a few chips, two small jugs of gravy which they served you. Bowl of pasta and coleslaw. A tray of sandwiches. Small quiche cut into quarters. Mini pork pies cut in half. 3 tray bakes. I was informed this was charged at £14 per head. Despite asking for the heating on, it stayed colder inside than outside. No tea or coffee provided with the meal. I have attended several wakes and never been so disappointed with the facility. Wish I had taken photos...

If you fancy a really good laugh go to the pack horse on a Monday night, Chris Platt runs a great poker night. Chris drinks endless amount of lagavulin whisky yet somehow manages to run quite a tight ship. Invariably, he almost always wins. Real ale flows and the odd Jagermeister train appears usually courtesy of Tony "Poker" Unsworth. You will no doubt be told how to play "proper" poker by Mickey and If you can get out alive on your first visit you've done well. If your still married after a couple of years attending the Pack Horse Poker Night then you're either hung like a Grand National Winner or your wife is playing somewhere on Monday...

I've been twice now. Once for just a couple of drinks and once for a light lunch. Very impressed and so pleased it's my local! The owner and staff were very welcoming and the refurbishment is very impressive, inside and out. The fries are the best I've ever had! Well done for all your hard work and I'm sure the pub...
