My impression of lallywoo is that she(?) is not a "pub person".
I shall look forward to trying this pub myself, but not for long, as the proper beer range seems rather limited.

I've always found the landlady/lord to be friendly, they may take no nonsense, but definitely not rude. Two energetic people trying hard to make a go of this pub in difficult times.
|
Forgot to add that the toilets and sinks were filfthy.

Obnoxious ladylady/lord, Rude doesnt come close if face doesnt fit. If it wasnt for a couple of very nice, funny lady regulars we wouldnt even of finished our drinks but these customers made the pub an enjoyable time while we were there. Wouldnt go again unless 100% sure these regulars were there. Pub rating 0.

The Pack Horse has changed ownership with the latest landlords in place for about a year. The beer range is limited to St Carol's - a rebadged version of Blindmans Mine, John Smiths keg or Newcastle Brown in bottles.
When we visited, we had the St. Carols, which was off, vinegary and very cold. We rejected the beer and were offered a replacement of John Smith's, Newcastle Brown or Guinness Extra cold but not a refund. We went for the Guinness.
A disappointment - unlikely to return.

Since under new ownership the prices are more competitive with real ale available. Comfy sofas in the back room and friendly staff.

Was reaslly surprised that the landlord, Dave Mills, left so suddenly. He said he had been trying to sell the pub on for the past thirty years so I expectr he was regarded as a fixture. Quite a surprise when we found out he had moved. Trouble is I have misplaced his phone number to keep in touch!
|
Now under new ownership, with a few changes, but the overall feel of the place has been retained. Now has comfy sofas in the back room. Blindmans beers are sold. My rating (9) remains unchanged.

A very friendly pub from the govenor, David down to the newest member of staff. All friendly and make you feel welcome. Making several return visits when in the area.
|
Old style pub but with new style prices. Don't really rate it. Quite friendly though.
|
Nice friendly pub - one of those old style places that will eventually disappear. The beer is of a good standard and the young barmaid there is quite desirable. lol.

Not to be faulted on its friendliness and coziness, but blimey the prices are a bit of a trauma. Usually about three well-kept real ales on (Old Speckled Hen being the best bet) but at about �2.70-ish a pint you're not likely to be drinking many of 'em.
|
This pub has a traditional interior, with three separate rooms served from a central bar area - a pleasant place to drink. Real ale is from the Greene King range, and sometimes a guest is available. Beer quality is normally excellent, although sometimes it suffers from the heat in the summer. Landlord/lady, staff and regulars are friendly.
