Great place to nip for a quick lunch, as service always prompt and you are in and out in an hour. Weekends are discos or live music, and are busy, so not for the faint hearted. The landlady and staff are friendly and welcoming.

The set lunch had a really nice mushroom starter and I had some decent fish cakes as well. Good range of ales, varied and comfortable seating. A great pick if you are in Hayfield. Keep an eye out because they seem to have a lot of events going on, foodie and otherwise.

Not massively too sure where we were doing, we headed up through Disley and then ended up in New Mills and then though "my God, it's lunch time - we need to find somewhere fast!" Luckily our handy Yelp app recommended the Pack Horse 5 mins drive up the road and a quick zoom up past lovely countryside led us to this little gem. Seating in the bar for around 40 (where you can eat), plus there's a more formal dining room attached, it was super popular with us nabbing the last table. The food selection is all about good proper pub food with around 10 daily specials. If the truth be honest I'd probably give the food around 3.5 as the fish and chips and homemade burger with chips we had was tasty but not the best we've ever had at a country pub. We did enjoy it though. I imagine this is great for a few pints at night (although you'd need a designated driver as it's up a hill and in the middle of nowhere) - and they had some pretty interesting beers on tap too. We'd pop in for food if nearby but there's probably better places within driving range that we'd likely venture to on a day out. Great views from here too!

Early in the evening when we went it was relatively quiet but I could tell the locals were coming to enjoy as we were leaving. Can't go wrong stopping here in my book.
