Absolutely staggeringly good! We used to come to the Pack Saddle regularly before the pandemic but stopped when the previous owners got my steak meal wrong three times in succession. Last night we gave it another shot and it was just amazing! The calamari starter was cooked to perfection, just really soft and delicious. The burger was a complete showstopper - two perfectly seasoned smashed burgers, properly crispy bacon and crispy onions. No huge amounts of lettuce or tomatoes to make the thing look bigger than it actually is.That was, hands down, the most delicious burger I’ve ever had in any pub. Anywhere. We finished with a biscotti cheesecake that was absolute heaven. An absolute revelation and worth every penny, unlike some other places where you feel corners are being cut. We will definitely be coming back!
This was our first visit and we'll definitely be back. The roasts were DELICIOUS! Really nice pub, very attentive and professional waiting team and genuinely the best roast spuds I've had in ages. Looking forward to seeing what they offer on other days.
First class service and an excellent menu turned a great catch-up lunch into a long lazy afternoon. Family members young and not-so were well catered for with things to do after superb food, drinks and coffee. A great venue to my mind!

Lovely location. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The service and food were to a good quality. Would definitely return for food in future.
Very nice food if a tad expensive, however you get what you pay for. Service good and the staff pleasant and helpful, loos clean. The children’s play area is just right. Don’t miss the community allotments provided by pub in the paddock. Great sign here

We went to the pack saddle on bank holiday Monday about 12:30, we didn't have a reservation but there was plenty of seating so this was not a problem. That's said it was popular and getting busier throughout our visit so it maybe recommended, especially if a poor weather day as alot of the seating is outside.
The reason we initially chose The Pack Saddle is because we were bringing a 2 year old child with us and we heard there was a play area which there was, a picture is attached. A very nice wooden play area with an intentionally wonky house, two swings, a game of snakes and ladders built into the table and a slide (Unfortunately due to the heat of the day we were unable to use the metal slide). My daughter thoroughly enjoyed playing in the area which was clean and looked after.
Also if you look on the patio area to the left as you come out of the rear door of The Pack Saddle you will find an area with Connect 4 and Jenga garden games which will also a hit with our daughter.
The Pack Saddle is also dog friendly, there were several dogs there and dog bowls are provided in the patio area also.
We all ordered lunch, I had the lamb which was very nice and I would highly recommend, personally it could have done with a tiny bit more sauce but that's just personal choice and doesn't take away from the fact it was a very nice meal.
My husband ordered the pork belly which hands down was the nicest meal which is saying something as they were all highly enjoyable. I have added a picture of his, I would of added mine but I tucked in before it occurred to take a picture.
My chicken nuggets and chips loving daughter was able to order chicken goujons with fries which was not on the children's menu but they were very happy to accommodate. Again another lovely meal which she thoroughly enjoyed.
All the staff on site we very friendly, polite and did all they can to help, in particular when I didn't read the credit card machine properly and accidentally tried to tip my entire PIN number! Stuff for quick to rectify the issue I put me at ease despite my embarrassment in the situation.
2 adult lunches, 2 shandy pints, one children's meal and one small orange juice came to approximately £50 in all which for the quality or food and drink I would happily pay again and I would happily recommend to others.
Best steak pie, and fish and chips delicious, will be back. 1st class and a beautiful place, staff very friendly and dog friendly
Just love this place. My favourite gin Palace! Great gin menu and the food isn't bad either!! 😋
My sister booked the Pack Saddle by mistake, so glad she did. The food was delicious, freshly cooked and very tasty.
There were 4 of us not one complaint.
Will definitely be going back. Price wise the menu was standard for these days and area.
Very good Sunday lunch with fresh veg, super roast potatoes and tasty gravy. Beer and wine choice perfect. As somebody else has noted - a little more expensive than some other local pub menus but worth it.
Very nice food in a lovely cosy setting. The only minor complaint would be that the food was rather slow coming out, still tasted good.
Welcoming staff, family friendly, warm atmosphere. Broad selection of alcohol and good menu.
We were two families with children. Service was OK. The place is child friendly with a small ayground and children get to meet new children. If you sit outside, you can see your children from your table.
The food was good. The portions were decent. I liked the burger as it was thick and juicy. The fish was large. The only issue was that they did not have take away dishes/containers and our food was wasted.
It also has parking.
Booked earlier in week to take French Taekwondo friends, honestly thought we were going for good old English pub grub but had the most amazing experience!
Food was more tapas like, but really generous portions, SO so tasty. The chef came out to see us to explain the new menu and spent time talking through each dish. We ordered most of it and had the best night. Both meat and veggie choices were 10/10. Thank you all, we’ll be recommending the attentive service and welcome given to us. Waitress even spoke French - such a warm hospitable welcome.
