Our Drink
What we try to do is please our local audience by offering something a little different and where we can, a little local.
In wines we stick to a simple rule the wine has got to taste good and represent good value for money, its about quality, but we also like to have quantity too, offering a list of 40 to 50 wines that cover most bases, occasions and tastes.
In the world of beers and lagers we always make sure there are some friendly familiar faces, but also something a little different. Our range of cask ales vary considerably from pub to pub but most will have 3 or 4 that dont change very often, ideally supporting local brewers and 2 or 3 that rotate to encourage that niggling urge many of us have to try something new.
All of our pubs offer a Brunning and Price Traditional Bitter, brewed with the utmost of care and attention and of course regular quality control testing by ourselves to make sure everything is just so.
The ales are different in the north and the south, brewed through two different breweries. If you would like to know more about their stories, then read on: Brunning and Price Original and Brunning and Price Traditional.
August 2026
Some of the Packhorse team went along to get a proper look behind the scenes of one of their favourite breweries, Windsor & Eton, and learnt a bit more about their process, and (of course) sampled a few excellent beers along the way.
They had a really good time (thanks W&E!), a nice way to spend time together away from the pub.
