Staff are rude and inattentive. Phoned up prior to ensure what sport I wanted to watch was on. Despite prior assurances they wouldn't put it on and treated us with contempt.

Came in with my brother on a Saturday just before bank holiday. Beer moderately priced. The staff were absolutely fantastic. Can’t fault them. Glasses were always cleared, not a dirty table in sight. The live music great and really lifted the atmosphere of the pub. Great venue and I would definitely recommend. Keep up the great work.

My favourite pub in Burscough, I come in here 3 or 4 times a week for a pint and a game of pool and I am treated like family. Lisa and Ian have done a fantastic job at building a great atmosphere that is welcoming to everyone. The staff are a credit, always know how to have a laugh. The beer is great, as is the music. It’s the place to be. Thank you for providing a great, affordable, family friendly pub. See you Thursday for the quiz.

Staff are aggressive.. especially the manager. From the minute we arrived, we were barked at and felt like we were an inconvenience. Incredibly, I was asked for feedback of how they were doing compared to local competition and when I suggested they perhaps stop allowing people to drink themselves to the point of oblivion (one man wet himself in front of us) I was told that it was all in my head. I've tried to encourage friends and family to give this place a try over the years, but won't be doing anymore. Avoid like the plague. This establishment is not family friendly. In Burscough there are places which are heaps better where I would encourage you to spend your money. Nobody should have to be subjected to aggressive behaviour from staff and other customers, but if you come here, there's a huge likelihood you will be.

Doesn't deserve one star. Landlord shouted shut up at my 5 year old Autistic child because he was making a bit of noise then made his mum wait ti be served after other people because in his words "they don't have shouting children with them". No apology after my Son's autism was explained to him. Funny how he didn't tell me to shut up when I went to have a word. He's an arrogant bully that thinks he can mistreat women and children. Avoid.

I recently had a terrible experience in this establishment, I visited with my friend & my son who is autistic,bearing in mind this place has sign outside welcoming children & a children's menu, he served people who came in after me,I asked why and was told because my son was shouting , several times he shouted at my son to be quiet, I was very upset & left in tears while the landlord sarcastically waved good bye. Very unpleasant man to put it mildly, I will never go there again, and would advise anyone with children not to go there .

An idyllic pub set beneath a canal bridge. The locals look older than the pub itself and seem to be still celebrating England's '66 World Cup win. In this busy boozer everyone buys a shot with their drink..even the kids. Legend has it that Margaret Thatcher was conceived upstairs in early 1925. Nice draught ales. Shabba x

We are based in burscough and have really tried to support The Packet , however tonight my wife and i visited for drinks . We believe it as now become a working mans pub , at 8.30pm this evening several guys lying on the floor drunk . Its really not the place for a couple to enjoy a nice drink . In fact there was only us as a couple and one other. It wasn't so long ago Friday night they had a singer and a good mixture of clientele. Definitely our last visit .

After a walk with Maisy the 1 year old black lab we retired to the Old Packet House, next to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Burscough. There were five of us, including Maisy, we all had lovely lunches, she was not left out, with a clean bowl of water and some doggy treats! Very good choice of dishes on offer, catering well for the non-meat-eaters too. I had a delicious sweet potato crumble and the mushroom wellington was also much enjoyed, but the Sunday roasts looked good too. The vegetables all looked freshly cooked, rather than frozen and very seasonal: carrots, savoy cabbage, swede and sprouts. We did get there earlyish, around 1 o'clock, and were surprised it wasn't busier, it's well worth a try, perhaps it gets busier later? All in all a very friendly welcome, good food, good service, what's not to like! We shall go there again. The coffee was great too!

Stopped for a lunch today,great pub menu but we decided on a selection of the light bites. Six in total and was more than enough for 4 of us. Excellent service from both the landlord Michael and Christine the bar lady. Nothing was too much trouble and so polite. Such a warm and welcoming place can't understand if anyone has anything negative to say. Great entertainment evenings advertised for Saturday evenings also. This pub is under new management so some of the old reviews May be from then but do not be a put off. We had a great meal and not expensive definitely be back. Not very often these days, do you get that service with a smile.

We were stood outside in the freezing cold at 10:05, when they should have opened at 10:00, which is unacceptable. Don't you really hate it when the staff ask you if you have booked and when you haven't make a big deal about it when they know they have tables available. The food was fine, decent cafe quality, but at restaurant prices.
