Welcome to The Pack Horse Inn
Join us at the Pack Horse where you can enjoy award winning food with a stunning view of the Birtle countryside.
Our dog friendly, and family friendly pub is a hidden gem in the valley of Birtle and is perfect for a welcome rest after a wander around the countryside. With a range of quality cask ales like our Manchester Pale Ale and Bitter and a large selection of seasonal specials from our menu, there’s something to suit everyone’s taste.
It’s Bloomin’ New
Pull up a chair with our new Spring menu in Bury. Enjoy delicious seasonal dishes, made for warm days and cold pints with friends and family. Perfect for pairing with our Manchester-made beers, our new menu includes fresh signature dishes, vibrant Nourish bowls, delicious sharing boards and more. Not forgetting your pub favourites like our legendary cheese & onion pie, MPA battered cod fillet and the iconic Brewery tower burger.
Sunday is a day of roast. Ours come with bottomless gravy and unlimited Yorkshire puddings (because one Yorkie is never enough and good gravy should never run out). Nothing beats a proper roast, and it’s even better without the bother of cooking and cleaning.
