The Woolpack in Stafford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely cosy pub, greeted by Debbie who took us to our table, very friendly and helpful ☺️ We ordered our food and drinks at the bar and the lovely young girl brought our drinks over to us which is a big help to me as I use a walking stick. Food came within a good time and was all really lovely. Staff are very polite and helpful, I need to mention Archie especially, he is such a polite and lovely young man and made sure we had all we needed, he is a credit to you. A wonderful visit and will most definitely be back xx

It was a really enjoyable experience great pint and good food all served with a smile. No complaints at all. I would highly recommend.

Great pub, just wish it was near our home.

Food was very nice and good value for money. Service was excellent and team were friendly. Will definitely visit again.

Food was really nice typical pub grub but done well will defo be back

Lovely owners who made time to chat. Nice pub all round and food was cooked to perfection. A lovely little gem tucked away in a housing estate. Wouldnt have known it was there without google maps. Lovely place.

What a pleasant surprise! Passing by on our narrowboat, we took our dog too and had dinner in the bar. Friendly staff, great food and we had a 30% off voucher - amazing value. We’ll definitely return here!

Were regulars, took a friend for dinner on Bank holiday Monday. Pub quiet hardly any staff on, had a to wait a long time for someone to take booking, when meal arrives no steak knife had to ask for tartar sauce another wait then asked for mustard blank look, had to go and ask. Ordered dessert after 30 mins nothing had to re order then another 20 odd minutes we were actually at bar cancelling dessert when it turned up. Overall our guest was not impressed and neither were we.

Food was freshly cooked and well priced. Plenty of drink options. Owners and staff very friendly. Dogs are welcome. Overall a great pub to unwind and relax in.

Beautiful fish and chips..don't change anything about them...twice I've had them and both times I've REALLY enjoyed them. Service is very friendly and attentive too...thank you 🙂

Pub stop over,friendly and accommodating, great food.

Best meal out we’ve had in ages as a family, excellent service couldn’t do enough for us, would highly recommend and will certainly be eating here again soon.

Arrived at 12 and got a drink and seated straight away. I chose the cowboy burger with fries and it was so delicious! I got my order very quickly and efficiently. Suzie made me feel welcome and relaxed as I was on my own :)

Been before this time was even better! Person standing in for owners was brilliant couldn't do enough, pleasant and friendly food was absolutely delicious, 6 of had different meals all lovely and how we had ordered

Delicious food and friendly staff..x

Just had a late lunch and a pint. Fantastic food, great pint of Marstons Pedigree. All the staff were very warm and friendly and the atmosphere was homely. Clean tidy and a wonderful experience. We will definitely be coming back and we would highly recommend. Congratulations to Martin, Debbie and all the staff. Thank you

Very nice traditional country pub. Went with friends for a birthday celebration. We had a surf n turf, two mixed grills and the vegetarian chilli. Mixed grills were of a good size, not too big. The surf n turf was very good and the veg chilli was also very good. Look forward to going back there.

Had the lunchtime special, it came on a child's plate... the portion was shockingly small for not a small price

Lovely friendly staff. Food Is so tasty with a large selection to choose from. Food is great quality for such a good price.

Ordered steaks with quinoa salad for 3 people. Order took over one hour to arrive and all came without quinoa salad and just a simple lettuce salad. Waitress apologised saying that they had run out of quinoa salad. Nothing offered to replace it. Spoiled the meal and whole experience.

Why have we not found this lovely pub /restaurant before. Excellent , great chef, food excellent. Great value for money. Staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you Debbie and Staff. Nit many places open on a Monday but the woolpack was and busy so tells you how good it is .

Been here a couple of times always had a lovely meal with great service. 1st visit on a Sunday for lunch, we had 2 beef and 1 chicken, the beef was lovely and melt in the mouth vegetables cooked just right. Chicken was really tender. 😊 Puddings went down well, jam sponge, sticky toffee pudding and a chocolate banoffe tart. Again lovely. We had the pleasure of Courtney being out server today she was lovely very attentive and really helpful, what a little treasure 😊

Food was excellent and definately value for money with very good service (Cheerful and with a smile!!) and as an added Bonus the Marstons Pedigree was awesome, well done all👍👍

Went the 1st time today for Sunday lunch and it was absolutely beautiful food , beautifully presented and so nice and HOT . Loved it. We also had a dessert which was also so yummy. Loved the pub itself and where it is situated is also stunning.

Fantastic Sunday lunch served by friendly staff , could not fault it and the beer garden at back is beautiful. Brigid and Paul 💯💯😄😄

Came as a family of 7, great service from all the girls and lovely food all round, couldn’t fault it, definitely be visiting again!

Friendly staff. Great food & beer. Dog friendly.

On a training course in the area popped in for a drink but ended up having food too which was delicious staff so friendly

Sraff ate so friendly and very attentive, food was really nice, fish was delicious! and my hubby said his pint was on point! Definitely recommend

Visited the Woolpack tonight , as staying in the area. Good choice of menu. Food was lovely ,very tasty. Service was very good. Staff was very warm and friendly

Pub I come to often when passing thro' on canal. Haven't eaten today but beer excellent as normal. Very quiet but I think thats due to the local monsoon. 8 people just swam in. Rod's threat "I'll be back".

Really good customer service Polite and kind staff Great food Cheap prices Would definitely come here again

Excellent food and service in a very chilled atmosphere

Nice people who work there, nice and quiet, and a place to relax.

We like this place. My husband says it does a decent pint of Theakstons. Sat in the beer garden, lovely and clean.

Great food, superbly hosted in a lovely village pub.

Lovely friendly staff, warm atmosphere and food amazing, clean plates all round.

Great staff Food excellent Great pub in a lovely village

Fantastic food, ate every bit 😋 Lamb shank, staff said cooked fresh so will take a while...well worth the wait I can tell you 😉 Followed by sticky toffee pudding...homemade...beautiful. Thank you chef !

We had a family meal for my Nan’s 91st birthday. We all had a lovely time, good food and very child friendly and accommodating pub. Nothing is too much trouble. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic local pub, with a very relaxed atmosphere, and really great food... We especially like the chicken as it's always very tender! 😊

This was my second visit to the Woolpack. I can honestly say that I never had such a warm & friendly welcome in any pub before and on both occasions. We were on our boat & had walked up from the canal, we were made to feel like we were old regulars that had been going in for years, it was lovely. We will now ensure that we call in each time we are on our boat (we are moored at Aston Marina!) I would like to make a suggestion if I may. On the canal, some sort of signage, perhaps at the bridge, would tell boaters that the Woolpack is there and give directions to it. The other pub there, which is very unfriendly must pick up the passing boaters as it is visible from the canal.

Great traditional English pub which was exactly what we were after as we are visiting from overseas and wanted to have the experience. Friendly people that were happy to chat to us, great staff and excellent food. Really enjoyed our visit.

Great place for beer and food we will be going back soon

Stopped in for a quick drink with friends. Very friendly (including dog being welcomed) with quick service. Plenty of parking.

A warm, welcoming, traditional pub that serves a wide range of great food. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pub had a good buzz about it. We will definitely visit again.

Popped in on our way home as its a dog friendly pub. Meals were all great. Service was quick and pub was pretty full at our time of arrival.

I went to the wool pack in Weston on Thursday late afternoon around 5pm as my partner and l fancied a steak and have been here before and know how good they are. We invited some friends to come along with use and they have never been here before, and I couldn’t praise the meals are lovely we all ordered steak as it was a steak night we all started our meals commented how lovely they were. As l carried on eating my meal I became very aware that my steak wasn’t tasting very nice I swallowed one piece and went to cut another piece and I thought this wasn’t right. I gave my partner a taste and he he spat it out straight away. It tasted like chemicals have been poured all over it. I complained and the meal went back and they brought another meal out for me, even though it was another piece of steak there was signs of this chemical which was on it Manager , she took it away and she tried it and said there was a taste and that she would send the piece off to be analysed. after eating the first little bit steak, my tongue was tingling so I know there is something really wrong with it. The management tried to connect to deny everything and we weren’t very happy with the service would offered any put in or extra drinks. Yes they took they didn’t charge me for the two meals which I didn’t eat beside the poetic could’ve been handled differently and asked yet I just don’t know what was on it . I work in a pub and a hotel with a restaurant. I’ve spoken to the chefs here and it’s more unlikely it could be degreaser that is on it. The taste was absolutely awful and I felt sick and had to run to be sick whilst I was still at the pub. The management team there turned round and said the stake and chucked away. One said it had been was going to be analysed, so which is it not happy with the service and made to feel like it was all our fault, ruined the meal for my friends and I very bad service Service. I’m 57 years old and I knew a difference between something that shouldn’t be on a piece of food. I’ve worked in kitchens before I’m just not going to let this go. I’ve eaten something that should not of been there to their annoyance.

Had the rump steak ... Very succulent.. staff very friendly and surroundings were lovely .. will return.. recommended to all

Beautiful pub. Very friendly staff. Ordered rump steaks which arrived promptly. They were cooked to perfection. Bar and waiting staff friendly polite and efficient. Will definitely come back.

Arrived for dinner, lady showed us to our table, very helpful. Ordered our food, but when it arrived, it was wrong. Apologies given however food was cold, and the steak was inedible, full of gristle, and very tough. Would not return

We visited for my wife's birthday. The service was excellent and the food was very good. I would recommend it to anyone. We shall certainly go again.

Visited this place for lunch. Its a lovely pub in Weston. As it was pie day we decided to try them out. Pie and chips and a drink for £12.25. Seems a good deal. We had the steak and ale pie and the cheddar, leek and potato pie. Both meals were lovely. The beer was yummy. I had Director's from the cask ales. There is a good selection of beers. The wine is vastly overpriced for a village pub. Over 18 quid for a bottle of merlot. Overall its a good place to eat but the pub is a little dated in places especially the toilets which although clean are very tatty.

My sons took me here for Mothers Day lunch Traditional pub in a nice village The roast dinners were lovely and big portions Excellent friendly service

Another fabulous lunch at The Woolpack. It has a lovely warm ambience. The staff are very welcoming and friendly without being invasive. There's a great choice on the menu and also a good "Specials" selection. Whether you go at lunchtime or for an evening meal you will get excellent service and excellent food at an excellent price. Oh, and they have a great wine menu too!

Six of us went here without booking and we were treated extremely well, given a table and made very welcome. We all had an excellent meal, then stayed quite a while longer because of the relaxing atmosphere. The whole family enjoyed it

I often visit the woolpack with friends when they visit me. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, the food is tasty and there’s a great choice of drinks. The pub runs lots of special events for the community and is what you’d think of when you hear ‘traditional village pub’. The building is very old so there’s a lot of history all around you. It’s clearly stood the test of time as a central place for the villagers and their friends and families to get together. It also manages to make new customers feel welcome, definitely not a pub where you walk in and everyone turns to look at you, making you feel like you’ve intruded. Debbie, Martin and their team clearly work very hard and take pride in the wonderful pub they run, rightly so!

Annoyed to read the review from Boothy on the cheese night, although if you click on their reviews they clearly like to moan. In a small village pubs are fighting to stay viable. The woolpack bucks this trend by the clear dedication from Deb and Martin. From cheese night to northern soul to the village fete they work tirelessly to keep the pub centre of the village. If anyone has not visited here please do not let the review put you off. Come and see for yourself what a lovely place the Woolpack is and if you fancy the cheese night all you have to do is bring some cheese with you for others to vote on. You will have a fantastic night.

Every single time we have visited we have been greeted by kind very friendly lovely lovely staff nothing is too much trouble. How ever many drinks or food we purchase we would never expect a cheese night which was either free or free from contributing....

What a great evening Debbie and Martin host. Those participating take a cheese (or two). This can get a tad competitive and there are some fab cheeses to taste. The pub provide bread, crackers, chutneys and pickles, plus a drink of port. Everyone then gets...

Anyone with Coeliac disease knows it can be difficult to eat out. I'm pleased to say, I've eaten a few times at the Woolpack, and never a problem. To make things easy, there's a separate, extensive GF menu.

Absolutely shocked at the unfair review of the cheese night. This was our 4th cheese night here and as participants we all bring along a cheese which Debbie and Martin display. They also supply crackers, bread, grapes and port to accompany our cheeses. Those of...

Brilliant to see the standard of food returning to past highs. Great service from Leanne and Courtney, many thanks ladies. Just remember to get chef to double the size of the custard portions 😉👍🏻

We have been going to the cheese night since it restarted three months ago, and it's great fun. Bring your own cheese (or cheeses) and you get to sample a wide variety and maybe find some new favourites. Deb and Martin work hard to organise the evening and they provide bread & butter, crackers, port, and lay out each cheese with plenty of knives and cutters. The only entry requirement is to bring some cheese---any sort will do! At the end of the evening, you vote for your favourite and the most popular cheese wins its supplier a prize. It doesn't go on too late either, an important point on a Sunday evening. All in all, it's a really enjoyable evening, relaxed and sociable.

I went along to my 2nd cheese and port evening last night. Its such a fun evening. Everyone brings along a cheese to be tried by all the others who have also brought along a cheese. In total, there were 21 cheeses to try. The brilliant landlord and landlady who host this evening kindly supply the bread and cheese biscuits to go along with the cheese, small complimentary tots of port and give the person who brought the cheese with the most votes as favourite or the night a bottle of wine! We will definitely be back with more cheese to try!

Went tonight for some drinks. Been a regular for a while but not been in for a few months as been unwell. Was spoken to by Debbie who said tonight was a cheese night. We obviously are new to this. She told us to like...

Great food lovely staff will definitely recommend and return

What a lovely find in the middle of a small village. We were looked after by friendly staff, headed up by Debs and Martin, who made us feel welcome throughout. The food was excellent and we loved the surroundings. We shall definitely be returning. Highly...

Very welcoming, cozy pub. Lovely experience

We stopped at this pub on the way back from a day trip the kids noticed the park and said can we go in there . It was a good shout by the kids because the food and service was excellent. The bar maid who...

We booked a meal for 10 to celebrate my mum's birthday on 17th Feb, all the staff were wonderful from start to finish and the meals were lovely. Highly recommend!!! Thank you all for helping make my mum's birthday so special

We came across the Woolpack on the way home from Walsall while feeling hungry in the car we decided to find a cute place to stop at. Our meals were absolutely delicious, the service was excellent. The meals recommended to us were not a disappointment...

Dogs welcome. Lovely friendly welcome on arrival with a genuine smile. The Pie and mash was very tasty. Definitely recommend.

Lovely warm welcome. Nice food.

We received amazing service and hospitality for a family of 10 for a birthday treat. All the staff were amazing and the meals were lovely. We will definitely be returning again

My wife and I received a very warm and friendly welcome from Kayleigh. We both enjoyed our lunch of fish & chips. Kayleigh also noticed that the beer used for our shandys was not right and she had no hesitation in replacing our drinks. An...

Very nice, cosy pub with good food. A bit cheaper than most. Very good service from Courtney and also the rest of the staff. Will definitely return.

Fantastic Service on a busy Thursday night during half-term term. Food came hot and was perfect. Bar & table service were great, very well run.

Great food and service on a busy Thursday during half-term for a birthday meal with Family. Really well organised during a busy service. Food was hot, freshly cooked and delicious. Plenty of choice for kids and Coeliacs, with really knowledgeable staff. Fantastic meal, can't wait...

Didn't dine just a family 0gathering

Met friends there for a catch up over lunch, what a lovely warm welcome from suzie, great sense of humour, smashing pub doing decent pub food for reasonable price, attentive service with a smile, credit to the staff, we'll be back sooner rather than later,...

We visit The Woolpack regularly to eat and drink. Always friendly & welcoming with good service!! Looking forward to our next visit!

Met friends there for a catch up, lovely warm welcome from suzie, great atmosphere and banter, great pub food done well and very reasonably priced, all credit to the staff, we'll be there again soon enough no doubt, Ade and Steph Davies, Doveridge

Always so friendly and welcoming with attentive staff, we regularly eat and drink here

Been in Nottingham so not a great time travelling So we decided to pop into the woolpack We had a couple of ales and decided on the steak and chips Beautiful sitting area and totally enjoyed ourselves Food was great and so was the ale...

Went here for my mums 60th birthday, won’t be going back. The waitresses were lovely, especially Kayleigh who couldn’t have done more to apologise for our terrible experience. We waited for half an hour for our starters to be brought out which left a lot to be desired. We then waited over 45 minutes for our mains, in which time, other tables who arrived much later than us were served their food. We found hair in one of the dishes and the steak was cold. We have been to other marstons pubs where the food has been a far better quality. We received a 20% discount off the meals for the poor experience. We left feeling as though the waitresses were let down by an unorganised kitchen and were thoroughly disappointed by the experience.

A very high level of customer service from Suzie. The food was excellent and service was quick . I will definitely be back.

Good selection of drinks on tap.. My order. Steak n ale pie, peas, chips.. Pie about 10cm across, more gravy than anything, not a chunk of steak more like leftovers from sunday lunch. Not what i would expect from a country pub.. Peas, luke warm and actually counted 11 chips... Service to clear main course poor, and pub wasn't busy at all. Was not offered or asked if required anything else, drink or desert. Eventually an order was taken.. When it arrived it was apple-less apple crumble, or crumble on crumble, and in a lasagne dish ffs, so it was returned to where it came from. Fair enough they took it off the bill. Still, pie, chips n peas & pint cider £17, seventeen quid, for reheated bought in food. Im sure they are proud if what they serve, if they employed a chef, they would get a better quality, if he's worth his salt. As an executive chef, with a massive brigade of real chefs, not microwave techy's who reheat to finish off in the oven or under a salamander (that's a grill) Manager in denial, sure she's proud of her microwave crew. Talentless bunch Disappointing for such a lovely traditional village pub

As always Deb, Martin and KerryJo were as welcoming as ever. Food again was delicious, brand new menu. I had the new take on a kebab, it was divine. We took our friends who hadn't been before , they loved it, especially their choice of hand pulled beers. Can't wait for summer as their garden and the green infront are beautiful, oh and it's dog friendly. X

We went to the Woolpack with friends for Sunday lunch. It's a lovely little pub in a nice village setting. Though we didn't take ours, dogs are welcome. The staff are lovely. Very friendly and welcoming. We thought the food prices were really reasonable. I've probably been a little harsh all things considered...I've knocked a star off for slightly chewy beef and the gravy could have been a bit thicker. All tasty though and we will be returning.

Always a fantastic pub with friendly service especially from Katie who is very helpful and always serves with a smile in her fave

Excellent service and very nice food. There was 12 of us and each plate was clear once we had finished! Thanks Woolpack!!

Excellent service. Katie and Kerry were great!! Xx

Has to be one of our favourite village pubs. Visited yesterday for some lunch, I chose the steak and ale pie, followed by rocky road sundae and my hubbie chose the chicken tikka masala and salted caramel brownie, which came highly recommended by our server, Katie. The service she provided was excellent, very friendly and helpful, we will be back again soon.

Went for a meal yesterday and will definitely be going back. I was really pleased with the food options available from the non gluten containing ingredient menu. I had the gammon, egg and pineapple which was very nice, however it was the chips that made it, they were amazing! To follow, I had the gluten free sticky toffee pudding which was delicious. The staff (Kerry and Courtney) were fab, they were very welcoming, friendly and helpful when needed. Thank you :)

Lovely meal as on previous visits. Busy evening but still received excellent service from Kerry and Courtney. Thank you

Visited the woolpack today for lunch. What a lovely lunch we had there. I had the Gammon eggs chips with peas. My wife had the Steak and Ale pie. I can honestly say the meals were lovely. Also the young lady who served us was lovely.She was very helpful with the menu explaining what was available nothing was no trouble big thankyou to Courtney. Also would like to thank the owners for the lovely welcoming even our little dog was made welcome.We will definitely be back to share another lunch with you. Also the deserts were very nice Apple pie with custard and the jam sponge with custard thanks again.

Very nice pub - very helpful staff. Because we had dogs we were seated in an area that was very busy with children but otherwise a very good experience. We spent the night in the carpark in our campervan. Would recommend
