The Pack Horse Inn - High Peak

We went for lunch last Thursday whilst on holiday. The menu was perfect and the food was cooked beautifully. My husband and I both had whitebait and chips which we really enjoyed. We also tried a nice local beer. We found the staff and atmosphere very friendly and welcoming too both for humans and dogs. Beautiful views too.

We stayed at a nearby campsite and visited the restaurant multiple times over the weekend due to the constant rain. Kris, the owner and bartender, was incredibly friendly and welcoming to us, even though we were not locals. The beer was excellent and the homecooked meals made by Kris' wife Hannah in the kitchen were delicious. The pub had a cozy and traditional feel, with a wide selection of drinks and food. The entire team provided great service overall.

We had a weekend away in the Peak District, stumbled on the local campsite by accident and decided to keep it mind. After looking at reviews for the local Packhorse Inn, we booked a table in advance. Cosy place with helpful ish staff. We ordered our food, The Moroccan Lamb Pie and a Chicken Caesar Salad. The chips were nice, the lamb unfortunately was a very bland dish, I had a couple of mouthfuls and gave up. Returning it to order the House Special Burger instead . The Caesar salad was basically a large lettuce lightly chopped, some chicken with a bit of cheese, no bacon, very little dressing and the croutons, whilst being fresh out the fryer, we’re dripping in fat, my Partener ate very little of it, leaving about 60%. The house burger arrived and it was just two burgers with melted cheese in a very cheap white bun, nothing special in the slightest. But at least it had a bit of flavour, so an improvement over the Moroccan Lamb. The pudding however was a hit and recommended. The local brewed lager was very good as was my girlfriends drink. Drinks good, food pretty poor. Maybe we were unlucky with the three main dishes we ordered, or perhaps we had a stand in chef, as many of the reviews said how good the food was, unfortunately our experience was far from this,

Visited this local pub whilst staying in this pretty village. Lovely friendly people. Great homemade food. Would definitely visit again.

The staff at this cozy pub are very friendly, the servings are generous, and there is a wide selection of delicious meals to choose from. We were so full from our main course that we didn't have any room left for dessert!
