The Pack Horse

The Pack Horse is a classic, no-faff local pub in Louth where you can roll in after a walk, thaw out, and get straight to the important stuff: a comfy seat and something cold for you. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle. It's a traditional Craft Union spot on Eastgate with a proper pub atmosphere, plenty of drink options, and a friendly, busy feel when Louth is in full swing.

It's the sort of place that suits anything from a quick catch-up to a longer "we'll just have one" that becomes several. Great for people-watching, post-walk refuelling, and that satisfying moment when everyone stops moving and the dog finally relaxes like they pay rent.

Perfect for wet-weather days when paws and people need somewhere warm and welcoming, with no fuss and no splitting up required.
