This main road pub is notable for its Edwardian cut-glass windows declaring '184 Miles to London', plus a depiction of the eponymous packhorse – at least one window is an accurate replacement. The internal arrangements consist of a typical north-western drinking lobby with a servery and several rooms leading off. However, the fittings, for the most part, are of no great age. The middle front room, however, opening up off the main bar has a nice inter-war fireplace with a carved packhorse, fixed seating, and bell-pushes.
