Packhorse Inn, Bakewellback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I've spent an excellent 5 days in the village of Little Longstone a few weeks ago. The Packhorse is as good as ever.
A tiny pub, with three small rooms, open fires in two rooms. A very warm welcome, fantastic food (it can be quite busy during weekends so booking is advised), four excellent Thornbridge beers on cask. And fantastic staff!
Full marks.

Superb Thornbridge beers, very friendly bar staff, friendly locals. Very nice little pub!

We were staying nearby in Cressbrook but I made a beeline for this place after reading the reviews. Homely little place, tiny main bar full of close-knit locals plus a few tourists (like us) having a bite to eat in the back bar. Only had mains but food was fairly simple, delicious and inexpensive (compared with others in the area at least).
Tried two of the four Thornbridge ales on and they were both beautiful, especially the Jaipur Strong Pale Ale. Friendly barman very happy to chat with me about the beer when he wasn't serving drinks, delivering food and clearing tables! Definitely recommend this over the bland Robinsons offerings in Great Longstone.

Great little pub, with a good range of ales and excellent food. Only really ended up eating here because the nearby Monsal Head Hotel was heaving, but would definitely opt for this one in future.

Tremendous pub. Arrived with my black labrador on a friday night at 8pm and could not have been made more welcome by staff and clientele. Good very local ales, and enticing but untried food. 10/10

Super welcome and some very satisfying Thornbridge ales. Well kept and some tasty snacks too !
|
Nice pub, decent little garden, couple of well kept beers from Thornbridge, didn't try the food. Only downside a rather proprietorial group who wouldn't move away from the narrow bar.

Less than a mile from the Peak District tourist hotspot of Monsal Head, this has always been a small friendly,pokey little country pub.
Subject to a recent change of management which has been entirely for the better.The bar has been moved maximising the limited space available in what is essentially three small connected rooms. The food is well prepared and good value, with three decent ales on offer the last night I was in, including two from Thornbridge Brewery which is only a couple of fields away.
A much better option than the overpriced, packed Monsal Head Hotel and the two rather bland Robinsons' houses down the hill in Great Longstone
