Visited the packhorse to meet a mate on a Friday after work. Pub was busy. Lots of happy people just enjoying the place. Log burner, dogs, pool, Guinness, snacks, great staff. Felt like a large, communal front room. People there for a birthday party all in fancy dress and singing. It was good. 4 stars only because the entrance is freezing cold and teeming with mould. That said, a lemon-scented marble entrance hall wouldn't fit at all. Glad I went and would definitely go back.

Limited opening times so missed it on the first night of our 2 night stay but open the next night. Shame as it was the cosiest, friendliest pub we found. Also dog friendly. Nice garden and modern and cosy inside. Ten minute walk from town but worth it, Mainly locals but welcoming.

After returning from our gig at the Canteen in Bristol we decided to stop off in Chippenham for a bite to eat. It was just our luck that we came across the Pack Horse a delightful little pub which met our needs perfectly. Jo and Tony were incredibly kind and served us up with 4 very hearty meals and even allowed us to use the jukebox for free. With four happy bellies full of scampis, this ideal pit stop left us feeling fully recharged for our show tonight at the Victoria in Dalston at 9:30pm.

Asked some locals where was good for a bite to eat, and was directed to the Pack Horse. I'm not sure what locals consider good, but this isn't is. Greasy cheap burger, the worst pub chips I have ever seen. It's a beautiful building, nice beer, but all of us felt queezy after eating here.

I will never be returning to this place as they treated me like rubbish and was disrespectful to my whole family when we went in the landlord was nothing but rude to myself and my disabled mother with sly and horrible remarks , you couldn’t pay me enough to want to return to this place and I urge others to avoid by all means

What a fantastic traditional pub. Great selection of beers and ciders. Very welcoming staff, a lovely old building, pool table, plenty of outdoor seating and the best priced in all of Chippenham. Would highly recommend popping in for a pint or two and some delicious food. Just a note, I've heard karioke nights can get lively..

It's location is absolutely sublime, surrounded by a combination of buildings both new and old that have this building nestled within it. The drinks are fairly limited in variety but it's to be expected by a lovely local that's on a road side. Having said that I did have a beautiful Thatchers pint, a line within thatchers I've never had before which really hit the spot. It has a lovely and eclectic handful of locals and a pool table to match. And not to mention its massive beer garden. Marvellous place

Not only are the venue breaking every covid regulation by not encouraging track and trace and encouraging locals not to wear masks but there is no respect for social distancing. Food is awful, things cooked days before and re-heated for serving. Also heard from the locals that the mutton landlady is known for flirting with all the men and several affairs with whoever will pay her attention which was obvious from the evening, very desperate woman and a pub with no atmosphere, food that makes your stomach turn and a very unclean premises

One of my favourite pubs in the Wiltshire area. Ian and Michelle are the loveliest of landlords and the atmosphere is always very welcoming and family-friendly. Great selection of alcohol and the hard work they have been putting in over lockdown has made the place look even better. Would recommend to anyone who lives in the area or is visiting.

As it was on the Cask Marque Ale Trail, on this occasion I was only there for the beer and I can aver, without equivocation, the Otter Elf was in noble condition. The pub has some history and the landlord can lay claim to a haunting experience - and that's nothing to do with the excellence of his cellar. With much work done to improve the outside area, on a lovely day (remember those?) the beer garden will be lovely place to sup and munch.

very unfriendly manager ( think his name is Ian) customer service is clearly not on his agenda!.. having been there a few times thinking his demeanour might change.. ( maybe he was stressed on the first day we visited) .... nope it’s safe to say he’s pretty consistent with his lack of people skills... best kept on a building site or in the kitchen out of the way.... will definitely not be returning...

This is the best traditional locals pub in Chippenham. Cons bit out the way from town centre. I'm not sports orientated so a bit too sports TV ish at times for my tastes. However they have a juke box that can play separate areas including the big well tended garden. Separate kids playing area. Dog friendly and big car park. Good basic food. A great family safe pub.

We came after a recent flood and after ordering 3 club sandwiches which come with chips and a cheese toastie with an added portion of chips we were told the chip fryer was broken so chips were not available. Nevertheless, we were charged FULL price for the 3 club sandwiches with NO chips and more disgustingly we were charged an extra £4.90 for chips we did not receive. See the receipt. There are other tea rooms in Bradford on Avon that are worth visiting and you wont get ripped off.

Great new venture, that has been open about 4 months. I was served by the welcoming Izzie, and had two lovely black coffees and a flapjack. It's early days for the business, so just a small selection of cake at the moment. Plenty of parking, seating inside and out, and dog friendly. WiFi is available, too. As the business grows, it is listening to what customers want, and bacon sandwiches are on the 'to do' list. Cash only at the moment, so take some change. Well done, Izzie! Chris.
