The Pack Horse in South Cambridgeshire

The place was a little run down but the food on the buffet looked nice.

The lady Andrea at the bar was absolutely lovely, served us with a smile and after two drinks she already knew our order despite how busy the bar was. We had a lovely time. Thank you Andrea for making us feel welcome x

Nice friendly town pub, a great place to enjoy a drink with your friends. It is also enjoyable for people who like Sports TV etc. All drinks are well priced. Unfortunately, there was no food on offer, but it was a Monday evening. However, you could by the usual crisps, nuts, etc. The ladies' toilets, we're quite smelly, but clean. This is very much a locals pub, but it was quite busy. Everyone is made welcome, even your four-legged friends. The Pack Horse is kept very warm and cosy on these cold winter nights. There is plenty of seating, inside and out.

We didn't have a meal but it was a warm friendly atmosphere, lovely ambience.

Great night. Look forward to going again.

Pint of birra marreti was on the turn and served in a dirty glass. Friendly welcoming staff

Goo tuesday night entertainment

Great beer, friendly staff, footy on the screen, nice beer garden, what more can you ask for!

Very large place nice beer garden and friendly atmosphere and staff

A pub I would never go bk in as there all too faced. How can you run a pub when the land lady is a Alcoholic. I have never met a pub like this. Just be careful as there not as nice as they seem.

Very clean pub friendly staff buffet was lovely

Great pub. Was my dad's favourite and we held his wake in their function room. Trish and Charlie were brilliant, as were the bar staff, and the room was perfect for the occasion. Good Guinness on tap too!

Called in for a lunch time drink,quiet and comfortable. Staff pleasant and friendly, good choice of ales.

A brilliant place, very friendly, great food, we highly recommend it. Thank you

Nice clean pub ,come down to visit family, went in for food on Monday but don't serve food Monday and Tuesday, helpful staff and customers to find an alternative Pub .

Afternoon of bingo n food with great friends xx

Used to love this place when I was younger, but it's changed a lot over the years. I find it dark and dingy inside now . On the last 2 occasions we've been in I've had my drink served in a plastic glass, could understand this if I was sat outside.

Lovely tasty food. Chips were homemade and perfect. Worth a visit! Plenty to choose from but not too much your overwhelmed Will be back!

Now a good family pub again, good food at competitive prices, good atmosphere, great landlords, great local pub, has a quiz night on thursday and sundays which has good banter and humourous competitiveness

Excellent friendly pub .needs real ale on

Lovley pub and food staff very friendly

First time for a long time since I've been in, but I couldn't fault it good beer too

Fantastic. Food and service was great. Thank you.

Very welcoming, cost of drinks too

It looked nice but was fully booked so couldn't eat here. Obviously popular so will try again soon.

Great food and atmosphere, staff are very polite

Had my daughters 21st birthday party there at the weekend. Place looked amazing the buffet was outstanding. Would highly recommend Trish and her team for any events x

Fantastic welcome in this friendly pub in Royston. Good range of lager +spirit's food available also. Highly recommended

The best most friendly , arms open welcome in the district , literally home from home , i always buy the lady serving a drink to show my mutual respect , love the pack

Good night out would recommend to anyone thanks packhorse

Great local pub. Great value and wonderful friendly staff. Always a pleasure to drink in there

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, nice pint, reasonable prices

Absolutely lovely place to relax afternoon and evening food was delicious drinks top notch company was great too lovely birthday treat with good friends

The pack horse as come along way recently will upgrades and friendly staff all working hard to make changes to help improve their image. Prices are great, my only issue really is with the food, not sure if its microwaved or not but seemed abit bland. However this pub is worth give a change to.

Great little local pub, good atmosphere, and a good selection of drinks, nice food menu, very friendly and. Helpful staff, dj on Friday and. Sunday nights playing a nice variety of music. If ur in the area definitely worth a visit. It has parking and disabled access, andna function room for all occasions. For u Pokemon go players theresa gym opposite the pub.

Everything ok, not much else to say.

Lovely pub, friendly and good atmosphere

Went in hoping to get a decent drink of beer as the Packhorse pub is listed as a real ale inn,what a disappointment as there was only one beer and that was John Smith's and anyone who drinks real ale will tell you that John's is probably the last beer they would ever choose so a big thumbs down to the packhorse and will not return,wake up landlord as not everyone drinks lager or run of the mill beer, there are hundreds of micro breweries and a vast number of cutomers who drink their beers.

Very clean and friendly pub. Makes a change for people to have a fantastic place to go to

Great pub good food friendly staff

Dunno not been to Barnsley tonight, I've been in pontefract at the liquorice bush. Sure it's nice tho! Ta Google 😜

Great little music venue I'm very friendly

Great environment great fun for the kids and great live entertainment

Good pint, fairish prices, easy atmosphere

It was a lovely meal nice people that run it x

Great service. Bar staff, specifically by Kelly, was exceptional. Would 100% recommend.

Lovely staff and pucker customers. Will be back.

Good food and excellent service

Was a good night. People was socialable land lady was lovely

Nice pub but Sunday carvery let's it down

Good to see the pack back to its former glory nice staff, good prices, will be going back to try the food.

Booked in for 13 mothers day lunch.heard few complaining around us so bit worried Approached by staff to be told only enough mash potatoes for 4 people even though more came in after us.accommodated the kids by doing nuggets & chips.& knocked money off meals.but the food was 90% frozen veg & potatoes & yorkshires only fresh cauli n broccoli Also because it carvery its sat round so veg only warm & meat dried up In all fairness it was cheap & didnt taste bad but honestly wouldnt go back soon

Nice friendly staff, good buffet, reasonable bar prices.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Top service nothing is to much trouble. Very accommodating always happy to help. Meals are very nice! well cooked and presented! Wheelchair and Disabled friendly.

Food smelt lovely for Valentine's I didn't eat but friends did said it was lovely

It was a nice atmosphere . Still to try the food

Staff are friendly and great prices compared to other pubs. Recommend for a drink and some food 😁

congratulations to the new management at the Pack Horse. We had Sunday lunch there 14th Oct 2018 it was excellent. we had to wait a short time because it was that busy but the staff coped well and were polite and gave good service. the pub is now very clean ( after a few years not being so) enjoyed our visit will call again.

Had a great meal and met our very good friends Brian and Paula the hosts of the pack horse and enjoyed XXX

Ridiculous prices. No music, very boring

Lovely pub, friendly staff, good for a quick drink or for a night out, also has a function room to cater for party's etc

Reopening this December 2017 good luck to new management

Was nice place but decor could have done with being updating looks aged

This is the worst pub in Royston. We visited on a hen night which was a Saturday night the land lady called last orders at 10.30. outside the pub was full of people smoking drugs which had been there for at least an hour and the staff allowed this to happen. The landlady's sister was very rude and threatening towards people

Me gustaría darle a este lugar un menos 5, pero por desgracia no tienen ningún inconveniente, tratamiento de la repugnante llamado la gerencia y el personal del bar, honestamente puedo decir que no vamos a volver hasta que cambie de manos

No me puedo creer que un pub en 2017 como el packhorse existiría. Realmente ha abierto mis ojos a la sociedad. Lo que yo viví era escenas de sean de los muertos. Fue hurrendous, 90% de ellos estaban en otro planeta y intoxicada. ¿Por qué permitir este? cualquier propietario No puedo decir mucho sobre ellos! A lo que vimos la casera era muy grosero y maleducado. Este pub es realmente pésimo.

Would not rate one bit food wasnt nice.

Nice beer nice company lovely back garden settings perfect afternoon in the sun it would have gotten a five but no one took my clothes off doh ha.

New landlady is great and service is awesome, definitely worth coming down for a few and foods great!

Couldn't get served. Landlady and partner sat drinking while customers are waiting.

Qué horrible lugar. La comida es dudoso comestible cuando finalmente conseguirlo. Servicio es pésima. Operación muy amateur nunca volvería de nuevo, muy deteriorado. Es una pena ya que este fue un lugar estupendo para comer no hace muchos años.

Local to me. Good food and drink. Staff very helpful. Entertainment fairly regular. No complaints at all.

Called in at the Pack for lunch, the lady behind the bar(think she was the manager) was polite and very helpfull bringing us everything we needed. The food was lovely and reasonable priced, the chunky chips are the best I've tasted in a long time and really filling, I wont leave it as long next time to re-visit I would definitely recommend it to family & friends.

Payed nearly £250 for some crappy buffet that was basically just sandwiches and one tray off sausage rolls that didn't even looked cooked wasn't enough to feed 40 guest.. staff were rude, and unpleasant.. was basically been thrown out before 9 a clock been told to go into one room then been told we wasn't aloud by another member off staff... they half no clue what there doing, and the food wasn't even worth how much they were charging.. abuslty disgusting services from them! Defently will not be going again!

Really friendly staff and the whole experience from drink to food was excellent.

Fantastic food, and friendly, courteous & helpful staff. The menu covers traditional 'pub grub' and so much more. It's always an enjoyable experience every time we visit. Can't praise/recommend this establishment highly enough.

I like my food, and now I have found the best place to eat in Royston, South Yorkshire. The food is magnificent, the service fantastic, and the atmosphere brilliant. The Pack Horse definitely gets five stars from me. An all round Awesome place!

A wise man once told me - "Never trust a pub with a flat roof", never have truer words been spoken... The Pack Horse at Royston - what a compete shambles this place is, bad food, worse service, and it looks like it last saw a decorator in the 1940's. The toilets smell like a Portaloo after 3 days at Glastonbury and the staff all look like they've been on Jeremy Kyle a few times at least. We had visited this place a number of times with our aunt that lived in the village for food, and booked it for the wake of her funeral. Believe me when I say this was our last choice, we were made to feel like we were doing then a favour by booking venue in the first place. We were changed £135 for a buffet to feed 8 people. Once we had finished the wake we asked for some cling film to take the left overs and were told cling film was not included in the price of the booking with no apology or even any empathy. The exact statement was "it's on your booking form that we don't provided cling film". We had to go to Asda to get the items needed to take the left overs to St George's Cript. We were even told we couldn't take the tinfoil plates the food was presented on, they were tinfoil throw away plates for god sake..!!! A complete disgrace, I'm ashamed for then to run a business in such a manor. Not the way we wanted to see my aunt off. I'm sad for the loss of my aunt. However, least I never have frequent this utter dive again.

Steak night. 2 x 8oz rump with sides. Bottle of wine for the bargain price of £20. Staff were amazing. Food was great. Cracking little find. Would highly recommend to anybody. Perfect evening out to suit any budget.

didn't get shown to table. had to order food from bar no waitress. wasn't aloud to open a tab. waited 1hr and 45minutes in total for starters and mains, would of ordered a desert but didn't want to die first. I even had to ask for the cutlery twice. we used to come here all the time years ago and thought we would give it another try after a long break, but wont be going back again now, very disappoint in the direction its gone down. the empty tables and bar said it all.

This is our second visit to The Packhorse and again we weren't disappointed. We went with 2 friends, we all had a starter the prawn cocktail was huge. One of us had the mixed grill which came on a board with steak, sausage, gammon, hash brown, mushrooms and a little basket with chips, it looked really nice, one had the chicken with bbq sauce with bacon and cheese, one had lamb chops and one had the lasagna. All the meals came with really nice chunky chips and salad. We were all too full for a sweet. The waitress was really friendly and attentive. The chef was high class. Will defiantly return.

Aussie visitors, having eaten and enjoyed many meals during six weeks holiday. Found everybody friendly.

Visited the pack horse following a trip to Leeds Christmas market. Excellent value meals and the carvery was simply outstanding with Yorkshire puddings just like gran used to make. There was so much selection in terms of sides / veg and you can re-visit as many times as you like. Definitely the best value carvery I've ever been to and the staff were so attentive you couldn't ask for more. Will definitely re-visit next time we are in the area.

Not children friendly at all,dog poo all over children's play area.food less than satisfying especially for the price,also mix up with food and forgot appetizers.won't be returning!

Was the first time we visited here. We went with friends on our usual monthly night out, 14 altogether and also a 70th birthday. There was a good choice on the menu and also on the specials bored, the prices were reasonable and would suit all pockets. I had the carbonara tagleatelle which was new on the board, was very nice just a little too much sauce. The presentation was good with plenty on your plate. The staff were attentive and helpful even though there was another birthday party as well as other diners nothing was too much trouble.
