The Packhorse Pub in Peterborough

Edit,...In fairness I should say since posting this review in Oct 20, I understand it has changed owners, I only hope for their sake they haven't retained the cook or bar staff.As we couldn't get out for our anniversary due to lockdown, we opted for a take out from the Packhorse. I never thought I'd say this because I didn't think it possible but I've had better meals in a Hungry Horse for less than half the price. Despite being ordered for a specific time it certainly wasn't freshly cooked, chicken was smothered in bbq sauce which killed the taste of everything else, the chips were either left over from lunchtime or maybe the day before. I won't be back but won't be missed as I haven't been there for twenty years.

We had a lovely meal, well cooked service very good.not a lot to choose from, but understandable as not many staff. My husband had the burger firstly served on a wooden board. But we requested a plate which was provided, l had the lamb hot pot which was delicious 😋. Then finished with apple caramel pie, with custard. And a cup of tea. Just a couple of suggestions. Tea better served in a tea pot not a tea bag dunked in the cup. Also the sweet needed more custard and warming up. The service was excellent otherwise.

If you have not had a meal here you are do missing out, great food, lovely staff

Had a lovely lunch with family and friends. Food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Definitely be returning on a regular basis

Wow what a beautiful unique pub, amazing staff thankyou especially to your 2 waitress girls they were amazing 👏😀. The food was on point absolutely beautiful. Compliments to the chef. Celebrated my mums birthday and the experience was just fantastic. Keep up the good work guys and girls. We will definitely be back 😘

Awesome atmosphere, great music and the food was so good. Had the beef and it was real beef not the processed stuff you normally get and the gravy was heavenly. The salmon was perfectly capable cooked and the skin was proper crispy. Thoroughly recommend this place 👍👍👍

We had a lovely evening and the staff were great

Such a cute little pub. I had my disabled daughter with me that I struggle to get in most cottage type places. This was easily accessible straight into the bar area where we were able to eat. We went on a Sunday so had a Sunday lunch menu, this was perfect for us and they had meat free options too. Food was tasty and was all eaten, my only criticism was the roasted parsnips needed longer in the oven, but none the less I ate them up as they were tasty its just my personal preference. It was a wet day so felt very cosy inside and perfect to finish our day off before we headed home. We shall definitely give them another visit.

Cosy little pub with good food. friendly staff, efficient service.
