Four of us visited the Packhorse Inn for lunch, after a ‘strong recommendation’ from The Bulls Head at Ashford in the Water (therein lies another tale and review). It was a damp and dull day, but the pub was warm and welcoming. The staff were...friendly and chatty. The beer was good I’m told, but so was the lime and soda ( designated driver). There were a few other people in for lunch, but we were in the small bar on our own. The food was delicious; Pork Belly and black pudding, Venison and chorizo burger, Slow Braised Lamb Shoulder, and Venison Sausage Casserole. Of course we had room for dessert too! We would recommend this pub, Fabulous!More

What a gem! We popped in for a meal last night and the food was incredible. We had the braised lamb & pork belly which we throughly enjoyed! Huge thanks to Holly and Liss, who were so kind and attentive. Will be returning!

Amazing food in the outdoor area, which we think was better than inside. Service was outstanding. Prices very reasonable for the quality

Excellent venue with friendly service and plenty of choice of food typical Derbyshire village pub with warm atmosphere

We've been many times before but this was another excellent meal at the Packhorse. We sat in the covered outside area which was snug and warm despite the rain pouring down. The food and drink was all delicious, and our waiter Moy couldn't have been...more helpful and attentive. Also very dog/child friendly!More

Third time for lunch and third time impressed. Fabulous food, amazing service and staff with a wonderful vibe and atmosphere. We love it here!

There were 7 of us and we'd not had much luck finding somewhere with an interesting menu that suited all tastes. The Packhorse was the perfect find. Starters and mains were all delicious, sadly we didn't have room for puds but the choices looked extremely...appetising. The dishes were tasty, generous portion sizes and well presented. Service was warm and friendly and we loved the decor and ambience. Definitely a 5 star experience, thoroughly recommend.More

A lovely cosy pub with a delicious choice of food. Recommended by a local which is always a good sign and we were not disappointed. What made it even better was the staff who were so friendly, attentive and welcoming. Thank you.

What a find! A lovely, welcoming, quirky little pub with delicious food. Prices are very reasonable too. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We booked in advance (definitely need to do this) and saw dozens turned away who hadn’t. The waiting staff were friendly and helpful. We had a sharing platter as a starter (gurt massive) which was enormous and delicious. Our mains were incredible and we can’t...comment on dessert as we didn’t get that far😂 We will definitely be back and would recommend 🥰More

We were directed to the Packhorse by a local when both of the pubs in Great Longstone were closed and we were not disappointed. There was a good selection of starters, mains and desserts and of beers. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the...inn had a great atmosphere. I had the belly pork and black pudding and my wife had he grilled fish and bouillabaisse. Both were excellent. The portions were large. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we returned later in the week. Parking is on the road but it was only a 15 minute stroll from were we were staying in Great Longstone so we walked. I would recommend booking as it was very busy both nights we ate there.More
