The Packhorse

02/09/23 Edit - I'm sad to say that I'm having to revise my previous review of The Packhorse and dropping it by a *. We have been for dinner and lunch a handful of times in last last few months, and where we used to be confident in the comfort that we would be getting a great meal that ticked all the boxes, it seems something has drastically changed in the quality of the food that is coming out now in comparison to this time last year. We had hoped this may have been a 'blip', but it's clear this just isn't the case. Examples - Pies underfilled (1 small piece of meat), batter on fish anemic with size of fish significantly reduced in size, portions of chips with no potato in them, overcooked chicken, different garnishes provided on the same dishes. The portion sizes are also noticeably reduced compared to what they used to be. I really hope the kitchen and management see this and can improve going forward, as it would be a shame for us not to want to come here to eat any longer considering everything else that is still so great about this pub. ———————————— Everything about this pub is done so well, from the food (quality and portions are fantastic), to the setting which is what you would call a traditional country pub (but a lovely one at that). Staff are excellent and very accommodating. Can't fault them. We have spent many a summers evening here with our dog (they are very dog friendly), and can easily say it is our favorite pub in Bath.
