Quick info
About The Packe Arms
On Rempstone Rd in Loughborough, The Packe Arms is a pub and restaurant serving a seasonal British menu alongside real ales. Table service brings orders to booth and standard seating alike, and Sunday roast dinners come with a choice of meats and ample portions. A full English breakfast is served on a hot plate, and a multi-course set meal, including a 3-course option, is offered for those wanting the fuller menu. Dogs are welcome throughout. The combination of a traditional pub setting with a structured food offering gives the room a dual role as both a drinking spot for real ale and a sit-down restaurant for roasts and set meals.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roasts draw the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling portions delicious and ample and describing the meat as beautifully cooked. Close behind, the full English breakfast gets singled out for arriving on a hot plate with quality, well-seasoned ingredients, and individual dishes earn mentions too, from scallops and sea bass to pork belly and fillet steak, with chips one diner's relative called the best he'd had. Several note the setting as lovely and welcoming with tables well spaced, and portion size surprises more than one visitor used to smaller servings elsewhere. Service throughout is described as attentive, polite and friendly, particularly toward children in the group. The lone gap raised is a request for a smaller English breakfast option for those wanting less food. No other complaints recur, and multiple reviewers say they'd return, with one adding they'd come back once the weather turns cooler.

“Lovely welcoming feeling when walking in, tables nicely spaced. Our server was Abi we went on Sunday 21st meal booked for 1.30pm it was Fathers Day. We asked Abi a few questions about drinks and what was in some of the meals, she knew her stuff. Very polite but friendly. We had a 3 course meal everything tasted great, was surprised how much food we got as normally going to a more expensive place means tiny portions, this was definitely not that we had to leave some as couldn’t finish it we were full. Will definitely go again”
