    What a lovely village pub! We enjoyed a really nice afternoon tea this afternoon. Fresh sandwiches, scotch egg, sausage roll, cakes and scones. Will definitely return soon and enjoy a delicious meal.

    First time at The Woolpack but it won't be the last! We booked for a family lunch for 9. The food, mains and dessert course, were, without exception, first class! Freshly cooked, ample portions, great flavours. We were served by friendly staff and the atmosphere was very relaxed. We moved into the garden after lunch, only to be very pleasantly surprised at a lovely, well maintained, open, green space with seating areas, crazy golf ( for a minimal clubs hire fee) and climbing frame for the kids...plus a fabulous outdoor pizza place! I can't rate it highly enough. It's a hidden gem and definitely a place to return to! Thankyou Woolpack team! We've had a fantastic English pub experience, best one in a long time and certainly the best pub food!🥰

    This was a wedding anniversary treat and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We were given a warm welcome by the landlord (Dave) and his family and the young man who came out and chatted to us, (sorry didn't get his name.) "Good luck for your second year at Norwich University." All the sandwiches and cakes were home made and they were delicious. We will definitely be visiting again.

    We visited on a Tuesday evening for curry night, the atmosphere and warm welcome were apparent immediately and the food and service were equally as good. The Woolpack is a great local pub, we will return.

    Went here last night, got informed there was no liver or chilli before we ordered, we ordered 3 fillets steaks and fish and chips for mains I had mushrooms to start, waited over 30 minutes for starters, table opposite us got theirs before I got mine they despite them coming in 20 minutes after. Mushrooms were delicious. Got told no steaks, so we ordered another 2 fish and chips and a burger. 2 fish were fine my batter was really soggy on the bottom, the burger was really dry and bland like it was pre cooked and reheated. Table service was fine, but for me a big foodie, the food was not up to it, great pub with a good atmosphere, the food just lets it down. Needless to say I will not be going back for a meal there again. This is the 2nd time I've gone for a meal there to which they didn't have things on the menu that I wanted. Shame, such a nice place too.

    We had Christmas dinner at the pub last weekend. The food was amazing (with a fussy eater catered for!). The atmosphere was warm and cosy and the staff were very attentive and friendly. We really recommend The Woolpack!

  • 2/5 Emma H. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is good but the service is slow and their children are allowed to do whatever they like in the bar so are rolling around on the floor with the dogs, hitting golf balls round the bar and generally getting in the way of what should be a much better experience.

    Great not so little village pub, crazy golf in the garden, good food & drinks and really friendly staff, if your in the area defo worth a visit

  • 5/5 Tessa F. 9 months ago on Google
    Thank you to all the Woolpack Inn staff for a delicious and plentiful home made Sunday afternoon tea, with Prosecco, on Sunday July the 9th. The friendly service, beautiful bone china table settings and the welcoming atmosphere made the afternoon extra special. The brilliant Brabourne String Quartet musicians, playing a programme of classical favourites and popular music, was the icing on the cake. We look forward to their next visit and another scrumptious tea! Tessa and Alan Fineman.

    Lovely food and atmosphere. The landlords are really welcoming

  • 4/5 Bernard F. 1 year ago on Google
    The bar/ restaurant staff are brilliant. They are very attentive, nothing is too much trouble and keep smiling. Personally, I shalln't be coming here for the food. I came for an association Christmas dinner. Priced fairly but not my sort of dining.

    Popped in with my father for a quiet beer, the place has changed since last in a fair few years ago. Clean inside and very pleasant staff the Guinness was good as well!

  • 5/5 Stephen J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pub, really nice outdoor area and 2 ciders on tap, perfect for summer visit.

  • 3/5 D S. 1 year ago on Google
    Having had some good meals here previously it was a shame today as had koftas with Greek salad. The koftas were spicy but Spinach leaves, lambs lettuce, a couple of tiny pieces of onion and cue with a couple of small tomato halves and feta cubes drizzled with balsamic glaze is Not a Greek salad! The tzatziki which we had to remind staff should have been included when it arrived tasted more like tartar sauce very vinegary certainly not homemade.

    Waited an hour for food and it wasnt even busy, tasteless, over priced, over cooked. Waiter came with an apology for the "little" wait. Yh no. Just don't do it. The 5 stars are lying to you. Only plus is a play area for the kids so they don't get too bratty with the wait.

    Paula and myself had afternoon tea on a Saturday afternoon. Such a great selection of sandwiches, cakes and pastries - all delicious. Its a lovely pub, you are made to feel welcome by Dave and Michelle. We highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.
