The Packhorse, Mappledurham.

The Packhorse is along the same road as the Pack Saddle, map. It's on the same side of the road. It is also lovely, with a huge, exciting garden, suitable for older children.  

You know a pub is a good one when you see landlords hanging out in it on their day off. I recognised a landlady from another pub in here. Surely a recommendation! 

There's lots of parking, plenty of places to sit outside, and lots of shade.
