The Pack Horse Inn - High Peak

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

We stayed in the campsite just down the road and it was very convenient to have a pub meters away from us. The staff were really friendly and the outside space is nice but this is where the compliments stop. We booked a table a few days before and was sat inside. The table hadn't even been cleaned from the previous people with crumbs and sauce everywhere. The floor was covered in food and I felt dirty sitting down on a chair. We moved outside quickly. The drinks and food menus lack variety. I ordered lasagne, which was well overpriced, which came with my own private swimming pool of grease on top and the chips were overcooked and tasted like they had been sat for a while. I had two mouthfuls and had to leave it. I would highly recommend not going here and going down the road to the Royal Oak which was a million times better.

We had dropped our daughters at Alton Towers for the day and decided to do a circular walk nearby. The Hartington Pilsbury Castle was an ideal length with a pub half way round and what a find! Great location making the most of the valley views, lovely little garden huts meant we were dry even on a changeable day. Staff really friendly, excellent service and the food was excellent my husband had a huge very good quality burger and I had the toasted tortilla wrap we were still only eating outside last weekend and it was such a lovely change well done

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 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,
