Had a steak sandwich with salad, wife had a haloumi one with fries. Lovely, washed down with a couple of drinks in an atmospheric old pub. Staff friendly and attentive.

Nice atmosphere, welcoming pub. Good attentive service. Food was mediocre at best, price on the high side. Pub only had 3-4 tables and food still took 30 for scallops pizza and burger (all together) Scallops were decent, well fried. Pizza could have done with a couple minutes more. Burger was not toasted enough, lacking filling, and generally you’d expect more life for £21 on a plate. Sent it back to be topped up. All in all, I’d give it another chance. But if a pub can’t do a decent burger, is it worth trying?

The food took a very long time to be served. Others who arrived after us received their food before us. When it arrived, items were missing (greens, Yorkshire pudding) and the rest of the veg undercooked - parsnips, soggy roast potatoes and the cheese sauce from the cauliflower cheese missing! Worse yet, the beef was overcooked and tough for a princely £21. A sharing pizzette starter arrived at the same time as the mains and when we sent it back, the manager returned it back to the table and was abrupt and scowled when we explained that there was no point as lunch was already there. She did not even offer an apology. The only saving grace was the young man who served us. It's a shame the food and manager's attitude sullied our visit, particularly as it was our daughter's birthday. Our previous visit was great we thought we'd come back again to celebrate, maybe not for Sunday lunch.

We had a family Bon voyage meal with our sons. The staff were friendly and welcoming from entering the restaurant. The menu was fabulous with something for everyone. The food from starters to dessert was absolutely delicious for all of us. Staff were attentive without being intrusive and it was very busy and had a great atmosphere. Definitely book genuinely great food.

Had a tasty meal at the Woolpack. Although the place was packed, the food came out within 15 minutes after ordering. We had pork belly, cod and chips and the lamb rack. All three of the meals were very tasty. The trio of desserts and cheese platter were delicious. Our waiter, Aaron, gave us exceptional service. Thank you for a lovely meal and evening.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure that our celebration ran smoothly, making us feel welcomed and valued throughout the afternoon. The food was brilliant and came out quickly. Everything that we ordered was delicious and enjoyed by all our guests. Thank you to the entire team for making my mother’s birthday so memorable!

Meat was nice green vegetables may as well have been a salad virtually raw, roast potatoes where awful they had been parboiled and shown the oven, the bottom less gravy was very sparse and we ordered pigs in blankets we had to ask where they were and the waiter said oh we've run out and said they'll been taken off the bill and they weren't and we had to tell them about that. Very slow service we had one waiter for 13 people.2 stars are for the dessert they made up for the mains.

We were travelling between Stonor House Henley on Thames and Bedford and happened across the Woolpack Stoke Mandeville Wow. Good interior, excellent staff. Clean restaurant. Fast but relaxed service. Delicious and well presented food. A couple of issues arose but were immediately rectified. Price level appropriate for quality provision in quality location, by excellent staff including chefs, bar tender and personable table crew. Anything Ive missed, trust that everything was top class including the Latrines. Will definately return.

Went out as a group of friends and was disappointed this time by The Woolpack. Dinner was uninspiring and very basic, maybe I just picked the wrong dish, but £18 for chicken and chips...Not something I'd recommend or have again. Drinks were ridiculously expensive - a cocktail, glass of wine and two lemonades was just short of £30. The Woolpack is a lovely venue, but be prepared for a big bill: over £200 for four of us with a couple of drinks each feels excessive for what is essentially a pub meal.

Service was great however food let The Woolpack down on this visit!! Pork Belly was like a slab of jelly, not crispy at all. Steak was ordered as Medium/Rare. It was more Medium In my opinion, too over cooked. Kids meal came as chargrilled chicken so hardly eaten and didn’t arrive with the chips so i had to leave my meal and ask for these. Such a shame as we’ve had lovely meals in the past here.

I'm not going to dwell on it a lot here. We had an unpleasant Sunday lunch experience at the end of April. I wrote a detailed feedback, as loads of things went wrong, incorrect order, inconsistent care on plates, as well as the service quality, but so far nobody got in contact with me. I used to recommend them to people, but not any more! We were very disappointed at the end and felt ashamed as it was our treat to my father in law!

We enjoyed our meal at the Woolpack on Friday. Our only comment would be that whilst I ordered Lamb Rump my husband ordered Lamb Shank from the Specials which cost an extra £1. He was told that there was only a rack of lamb which turned out to be 4 tiny ribs - do lambs come that small - with very little meat. Fortunately I had plenty and passed it over. When going out for a meal making a fuss and then someone tries to sort it out delays things and spoils the occasion. What we had was well cooked although dinky in case of the rack. Martyn our server was efficient and attentive.

Our dining experience had its ups and downs. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a rather sarcastic host. The starter was fine, but unfortunately, our server lacked a bit of experience. The host checked in again, though his approach came across as a touch condescending. As for the food, it was ok, though it didn’t quite make up for the missteps in service.”

My experience here has truly been delightful. Food, staff and atmosphere are always on point. Ali and Rene the proprietor's of this quintessential english pub have made it a vocal point of the village and community.
