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.
NEW DISHES
Book your table
Hungry? Our new autumn menu brings together proper pub classics with a few new dishes to get stuck into. From our Ham Hock with mustard grain gravy to a proper Fish & Chips or one of our classic pies, there’s something for everyone who loves good, hearty pub food. And don’t worry if you’re someone who already knows exactly what you want: all those timeless favourites we do so well are still here. There’s also our excellent value set-price Cosy Menu, running Monday to Friday to make those midweek catch-ups all the more enticing. Whether you’re catching up with friends, enjoying a family meal or simply fancy a proper pub dinner, pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
And of course, there’s always room for pudding. Our dessert menu has had a little revamp too, with tempting treats like our Chocolate S’mores, packed with chocolate and toffee goodness. Some things are just too good to change, though, so our Sunday roasts are still served with all the trimmings, including unlimited Yorkshire puddings and bottomless gravy. So, who will you be tucking into our new dishes with?
