The Woolpack in Aylesbury Vale

Had a wonderful time there, everything lived up to expectation. Special mention must go to Luca (G..?) for making is really special and memorable - great host and really professional and made us feel welcome and relaxed.

Came here for the first time in quite a few years. Just as lovely as I remember. Food was great and staff lovely. Luca the manager made our day. Super friendly and funny. He’s an asset to the team

We had a lovely meal today very friendly team great service thank you luca for your attention to detail

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Luca is professional, polite and made sure we felt very welcome.

Excellent service from Luca. Would definitely recommend

Another super time at The Woolpack. Great snug atmosphere, excellent food. Great service from the staff and manager Luca Thanks giys, see you again very soon

Thanks to Luca for the excellent service, he also reccommended the wine which went well with my lamb rump, i do believe that Luca's italian background helped with his suggestion of wine. Thank you again and will be coming back soon!!

Lovely atmosphere, Luca provided excellent service. Definitely recommend!

The Woolpack used to be a go-to for special occasions but the last 3 visits have been disappointing. Poor service, hard work to get served including chasing missing parts of order. Dishes tossed on the table and the portions have gotten smaller while the prices have gone up a lot. The food quality is good but the experience is not any more sadly.

Had a lovely time with my friends- service was fab. Annabel was really welcoming! Thank you x.

Annabel brought us our food we found the atmosphere lively and great. We will be back!

Really good restaurant with a great menu and excellent service. Car parking space is good

Came with work colleagues and we had a mix of festive menu end all day menu. The food was amazing. All the staff were extremely helpful and attentive to our party. The atmosphere was great. Highly recommend

Came out for a Christmas meal with work colleagues. Amazing food, amazing staff. I had the cheeseburger with fries and a brownie for dessert. Very tasty, dessert was lovely too. Lovely atmosphere 💕

Delicious food , quick and great service , the whole team is brilliant 😊😊 the vibe on the restaurant is beautiful, felt very welcome with my work team

Great place to eat, great atmosphere, Lily was amazing!

friendly comfortable good value feels like home

Brilliant night food was amazing staff were excellent

£9 for a 175ml of house red is very cheeky. Food was warm, not hot. Service patchy.

Great meal and service Xmas meal

very enjoyable and comfortable

My partner and I went for dinner friday night, service was lovely atmosphere was great and the food was lovely would definately return.

Outstanding. Great food, great service. A special shout out to Josh and Harry who were amazing!! Cheers, guys.

The food doesn’t match up to the ambience and the price. Slightly odd level of service, it’s variable, one chap in particular is quite off and makes you feel like he is doing you a favour. Not sure about this one, definitely other places that are better value.

Lovely pub - not very child friendly lot of people complaining about young children even tho It was 4pm

Really impressed with the food. The manager there was amazing!! I think his name was Luca he was friendly and made us instantly feel welcome. I would definitely recommend to anyone! Thank you for such an awesome service

lovely food as I would have expected if I had been in the pub itself

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?

Excellent food & service, the team are very helpful, the venison shank is a must, a shame that is only a special, will be coming here again

Went for dinner with my friends and I very enjoyed my experience. Food was amazing and service was exceptional. I will definitely come back again.

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.

Great spot for a good premium beautiful presented food, we had wine then cocktails in the bar area we were not rushed but had really good service

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.

Was not happy didn't get a chance to sit down was asked if we like water for table was given bottle of water wasn't given a choice cost £4:65 would have preferred tap water this is a lot on top of food bill. Was shown to table by a man to much in a hurry not customer friendly.

Martyn was a wonderful server as always. Food was delicious and prompt and we felt looked after and not rushed at all which was important as my friend and I hadn’t seen each other in some time.

very atmospheric place to spend some time ;) I highly recommend it;)

Went for Sunday lunch today! Food was lovely, only comment is cauliflower cheese could have been cheesier! Service was excellent and food came out quickly and presented beautifully despite how busy it was.

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.

Microwave food, over priced. Nice place to meet though if you want to pay exorbitant prices for drinks.

Always a good experience and the fact that they offer the normal menu as well as a roast menu on a Sunday is a bonus.

I recently hosted a large booking at The Woolpack to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday, and I can’t express enough how wonderful the experience was! 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!

We had a lovely meal in the woolpack on Sunday.It was probably the best roast I've ever had outside our home followed by tasty dessert. The staff were second to none and extremely friendly.Cant wait to return next time we are in the region.Thank you all for your hospitality.

I've driven past many times and often thought about stopping by. Really glad that we did, the food was excellent, great attentive service and a nice friendly atmosphere. I am already looking forward to our next visit.

Food very good didn't have long to wait service and staff excellent

The food was fantastic. We all agreed it was best meal out we’ve had this year. The flavors was excellent. The menu had choices everyone liked from the meat eaters to the vegetarian to the kids. Ambience was liberty and servers delightful.

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.

Food was wonderful and plenty of it quick service pudding was awesome

OVERCHARGED. We were a group of 4, I didn’t notice until we got home (“Fri evening) that we were charged for 5 deserts but only had 4. Therefore overcharged by £7.95 (sticky toffee pudding). Otherwise service and food was okay.

Chain pub. Terrible food. Half a rotisserie chicken? A dry breast and a leg so over cooked it was hard.

Excellent food with great service lovely roast really nice staff

Excellent food and service, lovely friendly staff… recommend

Great lunch and service. Thanks Rhys again

Amazing all round, great staff, great chef!

My friend and I have enjoyed 2 excellent lunches in the past week celebrating each other's birthdays. Service was attentive but relaxed and unhurried.

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.

Fantastic atmosphere - gorgeous food and brilliant service!

Such an amazing place! Food and service both top notch!

Pleased with our waitress Kate, she was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and quickly served, we weren't rushed at all. The facilities of the pub were very clean. Would recommend and would return.

Lovely place for an informal experience. Staff very attentive

Lovely service, very friendly and the food was delicious! Top quality food and my sister and I were both very happy with our choices of lamb rump and steak & merlot pie. We will definitely return when we next visit the area

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with friends, staff were lovely, and food was great

Great place, love their roast dinners. Also, there are plenty of great menu choices 😋

Cheese chicken burger was dry and overcooked. Chips were cold. Forgot ice cream desert had to keep reminding. To which I was told no worries??? Would I go again not sure as I have had a lovely Sunday roast b4 with family but so disappointed today .

We came for a Sunday roast and it was delicious. Superb service - Lily was our waitress she was absolutely fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. She certainly does her company proud!

Had the loveliest little lunch with my young son today. Beautiful food! The drinks came really quickly which is always a bonus. Thank you!

Pork belly with scallops not worth paying the extra £4 for two tiny scallops. Disappointing and won’t order again.

Lovely pub, great location, ideal beer garden, definitely will be returning

No problem getting a table even though we had not booked. Very busy with a continuous turnover. Plenty of staff doing an excellent job. Went for roast which was very good.

You can't eat at the Woolpack if you have allergies because their food is pre-prepared elsewhere, apparently, and they can't remove whatever it is you are allergic to. What a joke 😕

Had a lovely meal with friends, the staff were excellent and the atmosphere was great. Always a busy pub which goes to show how popular this place is. Would highly recommend

It's on a busy road, which the pub is off set. The woolpack has good in door seating as well as seating outdoors, especially when it's a lovely summer day. The food and staff are great too

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.

Fantastic evening dinner at the Woolpack. Our main meals went down a treat and the trio of desserts were excellent. To top it off, we were waited on by lovely young man, named Jonty. His manners were impeccable and was attentive to all of our needs. He certainly made our evening all the more enjoyable!

Excellent in every respect. Will definitely go again when in rhe area

Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon without a booking. Very pleasant atmosphere and we sat outside with our dogs. Ordered via the qr code and drinks came within minutes. Food took longer but worth the wait, it was busy inside with a 60th. Thank you to Martyn and the team. Definitely coming back and thank you HS2 for diverting us there!

Wow. Called in on spec, Saturday afternoon. Very pleasant atmosphere and super helpful and friendly staff, thank you Martyn and team. Fillet steak was a personal favourite.

Varied menu. Nice atmosphere. Great tasting food. Friendly service.

Shocking service had to go and ask them to come over for another round of drinks and again for dessert. Less chatting at the bar from the staff and more looking after the customers. Must do better

Had a family meal then came outside to listen to some live music brilliant day will definitely be going back.

Beautiful afternoon dinner, lovely day , not to busy and exceptional service, clean, excellent food, will visit again very soon

We had a lovely three-course lunch with friendly service from Kate.

Brilliant pub great friendly service..lovely food.

Lovely property. Plenty of parking. Staff very accommodating, great range of food and nothing was a problem.

Just popped in for a drink, dog friendly, lots of people having a catch-up. Lovely atmosphere

Took my husband for a birthday lunch here. Foos was lovely and service was great, our waitress Kate was brilliant

We went for Father’s Day lunch, food was fantastic and service was perfect what more could you ask for. Will be back again for sure.

We have been here several times and have never had a bad experience. Just want to say thankyou to Kate who was our server as she has a very good memory and is absolutely lovely. Would recommend anyone to go but you need to book as they get very busy

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 turned up without a booking and was greeted with a warm welcome and shown a lovely table. Our waitress Ellie was amazing, really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food was great, overall we had a fabulous evening, thank you

Really great service added additional gravy and Yorkshire puddings at no extra cost

Really great team working in the woolpack, service from Martyn was particularly fantastic. Thank you for making our visit so good

Had a lovely quiet lunch at the Woolpack. Food was amazing and Kate was a star. Brilliant service and amazing with my friend's child.

My mother and I had a lovely meal at The Woolpack today; beautifully cooked by Ad and Aaron. Many thanks to them and also Martyn front of house who looked after us so well. It was a memorable experience in relaxing surroundings and we will certainly return.

I love this pub, it ticks every box for me! I go often with friends and my husband. The atmosphere, food and service (often Martyn) are brilliant. My husband and I both had steaks today, both done differently, and cooked to perfection by Arstn and Bianca. 👍

Enjoyed everything about our visit to The Woolpack! Staff are always pleasant & helpful. The food is exceptional. Good choice of drinks. Good atmosphere. Would always recommend to friends & family. Great place to meet friends.

Amazing discovery while in Aylesbury! Definitely returning👌

We had a really lovely Sunday lunch for 6 of us and a child. Food was great and we were served my Martyn who was fab! Friendly, helpful and great with my little one! Thanks Martyn ☺️
