The Woolpack in Cambridge

Great local pub, lovely staff. Mary and Gary lovely hosts .

We had a terrific sunday lunch with friends and family , plenty of choice and home style portions , great service great team , well done !

Our local pub. We dont need to travel out. The food is amazing beyond words. The staff are amazing. If you pass it by then you have really missed out. 110% every time.

Absolutely love it here! Food is delicious, drinks are quick and service is friendly and helpful. Will be back!

Had a lovely meal here on Saturday 24th October. Food & service was great. Would recommend to anyone looking for home cooked food! Will definitely be going back!

This was our second visit to the Woolpack. From start to finish the evening was a joy. We went to celebrate my Wife's birthday and were joined by our son and daughter and their partners. The Restaurant was busy but service was friendly, welcoming and efficient without being rushed. We chose six seperate starters and six seperate mains, all arrived beautifully presented, expertly cooked and to be honest whilst I was delighted with my choice I'd have been happy if I'd chosen anyone else's meal. Portions are generous and the ingredients local and of the very highest quality. The Covid protection was also very good with screens seperating tables and the whole restaurant had had a deep clean so not only did we enjoy an excellent meal but felt very safe too.Whatever the restrictions bring over the coming months we'll be coming back and I'd recommend that if you are looking for a top quality meal, in friendly surroundings for a great value price you'll do well if you book here.We'll certainly be coming back

Came here for a Sunday roast. Lovely food. All fresh. Family run business. Amazing desserts. Really friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Very friendly service excellent chef . I could not fault the meals as food hot and lovely presentation . Delicious . Can’t wait for next visit with friends Carole a Wilstead resident 28 years . Thorughly recommend this place

Upon arrival we were impressed to see the pub was employing a one-way system with separate entrance and exit. The table had a notice to say it had been disinfected. The staff all wore visors and gloves.The food came within 15 minutes of ordering and was well-presented and of generous proportions. The Sunday roast - we chose turkey - consisted of ample tender meat, a Yorkshire pudding, roasted and new potatoes, carrots, tender-stem broccoli, red cabbage, gravy and a generous dish of cranberry sauce. Excellent value for £12.95 (£17 for two courses). Other choices were available - you weren't restricted to a roast. The staff and landlady were all friendly and welcoming. I thoroughly recommend this for a relaxing and enjoyable meal. You won't leave feeling hungry!

I am extremely fussy about my food but this place was outstanding, I asked for my vegetables to be well cooked and they were perfect, I had lamb rump in rosemary and redcurrant sauce with broccoli spears green beans carrots & new potatoes, excellent. Then I had sticky toffee pudding and custard, also very good. My wife had rump steak which was also very good. The waitresses were pleasant and nothing was to much bother. The real ale was in perfect condition. Covid regulations were all in place, a very enjoyable experience thanks to all the team. We will return soonThanks Trevor C.

Bought Fish and chips, 2 burgers and a portion of onion rings all for £10 a head, extremely good value and you are full up after eating Would recommend the woolpack burger (with bacon and cheese)

My son has been using The Woolpack delivery service during lockdown, each time sending me pictures of his dinner. So tonight we joined him. I was not disappointed, the burgers with fantastic, I had the chicken burger, proper chips as well. No room for the box of brownies we had ordered. Food was nice and hot still, delivery drive was really great. Can’t wait till we can try a sit down when the pub is back open.

Really happy with family takeaway .5 dinners all arrived hot and good for under £40. Well done woolpack 👍

Although the food took a while to get here, it was very large and filling. The food came hot and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had the same restaurant-y atmosphere you would get if you actually went to the pub! We would definitely recommend you go to the pub, or you can easily get a takeaway! I think it’s great how the team are doing it because they WANT to help the public domain in this pandemic and I do believe that it will help a lot of people out for the next few months, and who knows, the takeaways could be a hit and the pub could do this consistently for however many years!

Stopped here for lunch with the family. You will need to book as they do get very busy at lunchtimes. We were showed to our table, the waitress was attentive. We all had a different meal and we had no problems at all with the food. Very good portions and even managed to fit in a dessert. Overall well worth going and recommended .

Just came back home having a Sunday lunch at the woolpack , OMG the beef was amazing the lunch was amazing and the pork amazing all we can say the food staff and everything this place is worth a visit xxx

Once again we were back at the Woolpack having visited in January for a 'rolling' birthday meal for my husband Ian. That time the food was good except the venison although tasty was a bit chewy! A point though, generally we are a threesome but the extra place setting and chair are not removed which would be a nice touch and for some reason the waitress removed all the wine glasses? There was a hiccup with the timings but all in all we had a very enjoyable evening.Now this time we again there were only 3 (should have been 4) and once again all the wine glasses were removed! A suggestion. Once seated a menu and wine list presented, the extra setting and chair be removed and then we would all be seated more comfortably! The chosen dishes were well presented if slightly lacking in cabbage! (Duck and Chicken Kiev) but as always the steak was well received and had an abundance of sides! That aside, we are always warmly welcomed and will in fact be eating there again this Saturday. Thank you Woolpack for giving me a day off!

Enjoyed a large Cod & chips & locally-sourced rump of beef roast on a Sunday lunchtime. A pint of Thatchers’ cider & an IPA. Reasonable pub-fayre value at circa £35 for well produced meals.

We ate here for the first time last night and will definitely be back. Lovely food, good portions at a reasonable price and friendly service. Couldn’t ask for more from a local pub for local people. Really great and well worth a visit

My husband Ian calls The Woolpack our local canteen on the account that if family and/or friends are visiting we always eat here! Nice short walk from home so ideal. Although the food was good (steak, burger, sea bass) there was a huge mis communication which meant we had to wait over an hour for our meals. During the wait we ordered a ‘basket’ of bread to keep us going. What arrived was a lovely board of beautifully chard bread, drizzled with olive oil served with aioli. Then when I asked why we still hadn’t been served, I was told it was because we’d ordered a starter (?) and that the well done steak took time. Really? I can slice up bread and then cook a well done steak in 10 minutes. Georgina though saved the day with a complimentary bottle of wine. The steak though was cooked well (I actually refuse to cook Ian’s steak well done!), the burger excellent and the sea bass gorgeous although to much having both creamed potato and sauté new potato slices but the red cabbage addition was to die for and I now recreate this dish at home! Thank you chef! Service is always good. Quick and efficient without being rushed. We will be back!

Absolutely wonderful meal, best roast beef I’ve had by a long way. Friendly staff, warm welcome,lovely meal. Will be back soon. Thank you for making it a lovely afternoon. Would defiantly recommend

Another delicious meal with family for my birthday? My aunt's scallops were succulent, the mushroom arrancci balls were tasty and the beef literally fell off the bone! Perfect. Thank you.

I would definitely recommend this as my first choice before going anywhere else but ensure you book in Advance as it’s popularThe custom is great, the food is cooked on point, plus they are always put you first as the customer and ensure your happy The setting isn’t a loud place to be like other pubs it’s a great for all ages and they have a large TV and allow dogs in the bar area.

Food is excellent, staff are very friendly and this place is great. Would really recommend this place for a Sunday roast or parties

An absolutely amazing night laid on for a special occasion. Can not recommend enough! Food amazing, thank you Jack and staff outstanding

Having spent the morning outside in the wind and rain, at the nearby Falconry School, we were ready for lunch. We had soup, mushrooms, fish and gammon. All cooked very well and served with a smile. Definitely recommended.

Exciting menu, great value food, great value drinks and perfect service from the waitress’s. Will go again.

Had a lovely meal with family here. Good varied menu with traditional and reworked modern.Friday was burger night and in addition to the normal menu, there was a burger menu too.Lots of vegitarian and vegan options. Obviously homemade burger was fab and the chips to die for. Super friendly staff and busy lively vibe on a Friday night.Will come again!

The staff here we so intent on us all enjoying our visit. With good choice of food. So we returned simple.

Took my partner for Anniversary meal, barmaid and waitress so polite and friendly , meal was lovely at a good price, lovely local pub with very good food, very enjoyable evening , will be using there again

Haven’t been in this pub for a while. Popped in for a meal & a glass of vino.Really lovely staff, nice food & wine. Will be back again soon.

Popped in tonight on the off chance of getting a table. Although there was an issue with gas in the kitchen, we were squeezed in & told there might be a delay on food. Great menu choice, very friendly and attentive staff & we didn't wait too long for excellent home cooked food. I had the roasted vegetable & mozzarella burger & wow!! Will definitely be going back here.

Popped in on a busy Friday night hoping to try the food for the first time since we moved to the area. I had fillet steak, cooked to perfection...hubby had gammon steak also cooked perfectly. Puddings were also to die for..we had white chocolate panna cotte and dark chocolate mousse bomb! Bar staff and waitresses were just lovely...all in all a fantastic evening and we will definitely be back. Would 100% recommend!!

Popped in with my 6 year old daughter tonight for a quick drink as I've not been in for a few weeks. Lovely to see George behind the bar, fantastic barman, great sense of humour (acerbic!), & totally engaging with my little girl. Love this pub

Fantastic food and service. So nice to see a more mature barman with a wicked sense of humour and goes the extra mile for the customers. The waitress was brilliant and will definitely be going back.

Can’t recommend this pub enough! Came here last night on the off chance without a table booked as everywhere was really busy, they managed to squeeze us onto their last table. All waitress and bar staff were lovely as well as giving us their opinions on food too.We had the sharing Camembert for starter which was amazing and just cooked right. I had the lamb shank below where the meat was really tender while my partner had the mixed grill (eyes bigger then his belly) but cooked lovely and definitely enough. For dessert we had the dark chocolate mouse which was beautiful will definitely be coming back here now that we have found a pub that does amazing, fresh made food where they care about their customers!

Went her with friends and was very surprised how good the restaurant here was.The menu here has a very good choice and the quality and presentation of the meals are very high.Good value for money and I will be coming back.Well done Woolpack out of 5

Came here with friends after work for some traditional food and the Lamb Shank didnt disappoint. Looked amazing and tasted amazing. Nice friendly staff at the bar and waiting on. Thanks for a great meal.

We booked Sunday Lunch as a Birthday Celebration. The Woolpack is a Family-run Pub and the whole experience was superb. A warm welcome with well-informed recommendations at the bar and an extensive and well-priced menu. I suggest you listen to the "Specials" of the day and be prepared for generous well-cooked and beautifully presented food.The Tempura Prawns with Chili as a special starter were gorgeous as were the other starters we chose from the Menu. Being a Sunday half of us went for the Roast and it was possible to have a selection of Pork, Beef and Turkey, or stick to one of the three - those who chose other mains were happy that they'd chosen wisely - no portion-envy here.Desserts were as good as the previous two courses and the staff were attentive, friendly and professional. The biggest surprise was the Bill - extremely good value for an excellent meal - our first visit, but not our last.If you eat out only once this year, eat here.

Excellent quality food and very high standard of service. Would definitely recommend The Woolpack. We had three courses and it was very reasonably priced for the quality!

Nice home made burger and chicken Caesar salad, a little too much dressing for my taste but perfectly acceptable. Friendly staff, what’s not to like?

Family meal on a Friday evening - my suggestion as it was a good mid-way point for our locations. The whole experience was a pleasure - Georgia looked after us & is just delightful - she is a credit to the team. Great menu with plenty of choice, all beautifully cooked & presented. Back to Georgia - she even managed to produce a course for one of our party that wasn't on the menu - having asked we certainly didn't expect anything but she simply went away and made it happen - that was top service! We will certainly be returning soon hopefully.

We are a group of friends who have got into the habit of going out once a month and visit a new place to eat month locally.We dont do the big chain restaurants, we like the local businesses and normally there is 6 -9 of us each month.We are from the Flitwick area but myself being from Wilstead originally, I still.spend alot of time here and was aware of the new(ish) owners and great reviews to date.So i suggested here for our May visit and no one was left disappointed.The food was amazing, all home cooked and piping hot when served.A great menu choice ! We have some fussy eaters and an egg free lady too, so not always easy to please but everyone said they were spoilt for choice !! The service was brilliant, even after a fair few questions, nothing was too much trouble.A credit to the pub ! The lamb shanks look amazing and my friends said were one of the best they had.I had the Pie of the Day and Wow, what a satisfying dish that was.The burgers looked and apparently were amazing too ! We all had puddings, again, such a great choice and some very different too which was great. And they were brilliant value too, compared to other places we have visited, this was definitely noted for great value but you certainly did not feel they cut any corners to get those prices.The wine proces were also great, not charging the earth for a bottle of house wine, which we always note wherever we visit .I will definitely recommend The Woolpack, I will definitely be back and I am making sure my folks get back down there soon too as to have this Gem down the road, it would a shame to miss out !Thank You and we will be back.

My wife and myself visited the Woolpack after recommendations from friends. From start to finish the service and friendliness of all the staff was great, and the food was exceptional, all freshly cooked and the presentation was very good.I would recommend this restaurant to anyone without hesitation.

Had been out for the morning nearby and looked on here for a nearby pub for lunch, this came up first so took a chance and glad we did, Sunday lunch offers 1 course £11 2 for £15 3 was £18, a variety to choose from, and good size portions and very nice. Definitely recommend

Since moving to the area last year we have become regular visitors to this lovely village pub and restaurant - the food is always beautifully presented, tasty and reasonably priced. You’re guaranteed a warm, friendly welcome from Georgia and the team...

Always a fantastic roast at the woolpack and lots of it too. My favourite place for a roast and mid week meal!

Just popped in for a beer. Friendly and welcoming with good Abbot and Landlord. Didn't eat but the smell of the food was certainly tempting.

Four of us popped in here without booking on a Saturday lunchtime, and we all agreed without exception that it was a great find. The food was standard pub fare but done really well and the prices were reasonable too. Service was friendly and helpful and we all left feeling fully satisfied, with the feeling that we would happily return. Only tiny criticism was that the restaurant could have been a little warmer but then it was cold outside and it had only just opened and would have doubtless warmed up as the day went on.

My friend and I came here Friday night for a meal and it didn’t disappoint. Delicious, fresh, home made food and a wide menu choice including specials. The service was also outstanding and the pub itself had a warm, friendly atmostphere, will definitely be back!

I have been here in the evening and liked it so much I booked for a lunch group I run. I took a party of nine. We had to pre order which I don’t like but the service and food was excellent. I don’t think I have ever been to a friendlier, more helpful pub. If I have any criticism it is only that the lunch menu is typical pub grub although really well cooked. We will definitely be back.

Great night at the woolpack - outstanding food and service with a great atmosphere! Will be back!!!!

This was once our regular, but stopped using when previous owner didn’t improve hygiene rating. We were pleased to see the new owners were continuing the steak night and decided to try it out. The waitress was outstanding, we were made very welcome and service was very good. She explained that the steak deal was more expensive than previously but justified it by virtue of the steak coming from Woburn Farm Foods. Our favourite meat supplier so we were happy. My starter was okay, but not memorable, seriously I can’t remember what it was, my husbands salmon fish cakes was actually one fishcake cut in half, he said it tasted fine but he felt cheated as it was only one and cost £8.00, a hefty price for a dish that is predominantly potato. The steak meal was good, steak was indeed good quality, though I struggle to understand why an accompanying salad should contain grapes in abundance.the chips were without doubt uthe best I have ever eaten. The disappointment was the wine that came as part of the meal. I am not sure whether it their house wine or something they have found that is very cheap on the assumption that as part of a deal, you can’t complain. The wine was as bad as the chips were good. I was wary when the label said that it was made in the UK from imported grape juice. In short it was disgusting, sweet, tasteless, no body and there must have been alcohol in it but if I hadn’t known it was wine I would have thought it was a cheap children’s mixed fruit squash. All that said, we will revisit will def have a meal with chips, but we will choose our wine. Prices a bit high for pub grub, I think they should decide where they are in the market; pub grub or gastro pub, the food is currently pub grub (except the chips and meat quality) but the prices are more like gastro pub.

Great service.....waitresses excellent ! Lovely food.... Sunday lunch is very good. Definitely recommend......book in advance (which says it all)

After not eating in the restaurant for several years, our last two visits pleasantly surprised us. Lovely food nd fairly extensive menu, with some vegetarian choices. The staff are lovely, it the poor waitress was trying her best to cope with the entire restaurant seemingly single handed. She really did her best but seemed rather harassed. Unfortunately this has been a common experience at the woolpack under previous ownership. They really need to get enough staff

Visited with my elderly mother. Staff were delightful,food excellent, best chips I had had in years. All in all an excellent find. We will be back. Thanks

Excellent food and service. Welcoming and friendly .all meals were piping hot .great choice of starters,mains and desserts .highly recommend.

Had a really nice family meal , friendly staff . Great food good portion size and good value for money will definitely going back. My of Mum of 80 is going back for the OAP meals

We had a lovely relaxing evening and enjoyed a beautiful three course meal, with a few extra touches to mark the special occasion. The atmosphere was friendly and the service was excellent.

A local pub with great food, great atmosphere and great service! Eaten a here a few times and always have a lovely meal! A different meal every time, also perfect

This is the second time we have eaten at The Woolpack and unfortunately the food was not as good as the first. I have heard that it depends who the chef is at the time. Following my booking, I checked to see if the chef could accommodate someone who could not have alcohol in sauces etc. Yes to sauces but no to fish which in the evening is beer-battered and yet at lunchtime I believe it isn't. The reason given for not providing regular batter in the evening was 'because it would compromise the quality' ? However the staff are very friendly especially the barman who can hear the drinks discussion and pour the drinks whilst we are chatting and Georgia who has served us twice. There are a few niggles though and I'm back to the fish and chips! The first time I had it, it was perfect but this time my husband needed more than a regular knife to cut through it! The gammon steaks were fine but a choice of a fried egg or pineapple might be nice. Both visits though, there have been menu changes, either there is only one of two pies to choose from or a meat dish has changed, all this at around 8pm on a Saturday night. I do wonder though why if the fish can be deep fried, the chips cannot. Just not the same without 'proper' chips. However the portions are generous and always hot which isn't the case in some places. A 'Specials' board and perhaps more fish dishes, might be more appealing for those of us who don't eat a great deal of meat. The menu is compact, along with the wine list but all in all a very good establishment to eat in. I haven't given 4 stars because I'm not sure it Very Good. I thing TripAdvisor need to put a Good star in!

Had Sunday lunch it was very nice but would have preferred proper roast potatoes to the cube potatoes otherwise a really good meal with the good service

New menu is great, lots of variety and delicious freshly made food. My family all ordered something different but were all very happy with the meal and the chef and waitress were very friendly. Good value for money and would whole-heatedly recommend for a nice meal out in a country pub.

Everything was absolutely amazing. Service was fantastic, food was unreal and everyone who worked there was friendly and professional. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Came for Sunday lunch at the Woolpack with myself & my wife, customer service was excellent as soon as we walked in we were greeted with a hello / can I help from a lovely young lady, we had arrived early for our table so where directed to the bar where again were greeted with helpful bar staff, we both had roast beef & vegtables & couldn't fault the food, my wife had toffee apple sponge for desert! Which she said was to die for!Can't fault our lunch time meal thank you Jack (chef).Really recommend this little gem this was our fourth visit & will certainly be returning.

Drink in this pub fairly regular but the food service was ridiculous. Arrived at the pub at 5:30 with my wife and 2 kids to meet some friends, we were told they had 18 people arriving at 6:30 for a party and they had all pre ordered so they would cook our food once they had their starters out. At 7:45 we were still waiting for our food as apparently the chef Pete (aka the landlord) could not commit to mash potato. Having been told they cook mash from fresh so they couldn’t cook it before the party came in, hence why we were waiting. We were then told after waiting for over 2 hours that they couldn’t serve us mash as they had only 2 portions left and having served another 3 tables, who came in after us- they had ordered mash so were given it. We were not offered any proper apology, only a half hearted one after we had complained, no customer service was seen, and our 3 yr old daughter was upset and VERY HUNGRY by this point. The pub is lovely and the locals are great, but the owners haven’t got a clue! Not sure if this is the first pub they’ve run but they act like it is. I vowed to never return and I never will, well at least till they get new owners.

My partner and I visit nearly every Sunday as the roast dinner is the best in the area... by far! Good drinks selection and great service always.

Our family gathering coincided with the introduction of the new menu, the mains were all delicious, interesting take on meat pies, including a chilli and cheese version. Then there were the desserts, salted caramel cheesecake, lemon posset and an amazing white chocolate and raspberry profiteroles. Looking forward to a return visit to sample the dishes we didn’t have room to try!

Brought my grandad in here for a meal as have been a few times before and been very satisfied! He loved the food and wants to return ASAP. Will be back soon!

Steak was amazing very nice chips and onion rings and it would be worth popping in if passing through.

Heard about the steak night at this pub/restaurant through friends so 4 of us went and gave it a go. Highly recommend could not fault the steak and everything with it!

Very good meal for mother in laws birthday. There were 7 of us and the service was good. Not kept waiting for too long.

Ate here as a family of 10 one Sunday. All of us were extremely happy with the meal. Ordered various waffles for dessert - also delicious. Service is fantastic. Superb pub. Returned for the soulman on the Friday. Very entertaining. Still excellent service even when busy.

Visited this local pub to give me a break from cooking. Was extremely disappointed with the main meal served to us. Escalope of chicken, dry and hard. It was almost if it had been cooked previously and reheated though chef insisted that that was not the case.Offered a dessert as compensation which neither of us usually have. Will not be visiting this pub again, lesson learned. The one saving grace was the wine which was lovely.

Food well cooked and well presented, Pie of the Day was exceptional. After a starter and the pie with proper chips, not fries!! No room for 'afters'

Five friends from the village of Wilstead decided to have lunch at the Woolpack,we were not disappointed. The service was excellent, the food was superb and reasonably priced.We all agreed why bother to travel out of the village when there is a first class restuarant/pub on our doorstep. Certainly will go again and recommend to friends.

For an anniversary dinner, my boyfriend and i visited the pub for a meal - it was one of the best meals we have ever had. i had a burger which was so lovely and cooked perfectly (handmade too !) and my partner had the pork and was amazing too. our waitress tonight (sorry we did not catch your name but you know who you are) was simply perfect - chatty and polite which added to the evening. highly recommend and thank you woolpack for a memorable and tasty evening ! we shall be returning !

Fantastic meal and great service. We had a lovely evening. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff very helpful and friendly.

Extremely Happy with the service 5*, the food was so delicious, I couldn't help but ask for a recipe, ideal for a party, function, wedding or any kind of day out, very friendly staff members who strive to give the best service in front of you and whilst in the kitchen, I wasnt pestered about drinks over and over again, a staff member was always in sight if I wanted another drink or anything else.

The Wool pack is a great pub to enjoy some hearty freshly cooked food. I went with my girlfriend last night and we both really enjoyed ourselves. We were very impressed with the food which was clearly freshly cooked as I have dietary requirements and they were able to adjust their menu to cater for my needs. All round great service and great food. I will be recommending the pub to my family and friends.

Being local we tried the Woolly again for Sunday lunch and yet again it was a let-down.Different Chef, again, we think led to poor food quality again. Roast potatoes were more like deep fried and meat didn’t have a lot of taste and the vegetables seemed like they had been microwaved, for ages. Potato skins for starters we again deep fried along with the bacon and that was burnt.Our friends and I think that if Peter isn’t in the kitchen then standards fall and no two food dishes are ever the same.If you don’t buck up your ideas then the door will once again shut as beer alone can’t keep this Pub afloat.Just not worth trying again sorry.

Visited here for dinner with friends after recommendations. Our first disapointnentwas being told that they were only serving Sunday lunches, I'd already looked online at the menu and was looking forward to ordering a burger the food was ok, more vegetables & proper roast potatoes would have been nice. The biggest disappointment though was the service and facilities. Waiting for the bill was a mission, watching the waitress cleantables and go in and out of the kitchen whilst we sat there waiting didn't impress, and neither did the one working toilet with a broken loo seat and loo roll holder. First and last visit for me.

First visit since The Woolpack has been under new management, wow what can I say, there were three of us eating in the restaurant and we all had fish and chips. Could not fault anything, wonderful fish and chips, great value, great service and a very pleasant place to eat. Will recommend to friends.

Could not ask for a more helpful pub. I had suppliers coming from Wales for a meeting and lunch and the arrival time was sketchy (you know traffic n all). I rang and spoke to Jan who could not have been more accommodating, I explained lunch time arrival could be a bit hazy, this was not a problem. When we arrived the staff were very pleasant, attentive and attended to you at the right time. Food was lovely could not fault it all came out hot and well presented. Thank you for making my business lunch all the more enjoyable Woolpack, I will be recommending you friends and family and I will be back for a more leisurely lunch/dinner.

All okay and had a nice meal, nothing special but okay, would i go there again , maybe if no where else to go

Had a meal last night with my daughter and the food was excellent and the service is very good. Really enjoyed my meal would recommend the lemon tart for dessert.

Our first visit since a change in management. Wow...what an improvement! We visited a few months ago under old management and the food and service was terrible. We all had a great meal this time round....good sized portions, quality pub food and friendly service meant a great evening was had by all! Highly recommended

Visited for Sunday lunch..... £13.95 for two courses or £17.50 for three... Excellent pub style choices to start Superb beef roast with really lovely accompanying vegetables Will definitely be going again Local staff...very friendly and great service !

Six of us had a meal here last night and we were all impressed with everything all round. The menu is not massive (a good thing in my opinion) and the food was excellent, service quick and very friendly, well done Jan, Pete and Chloe. We’ll be back soon.

A lovely meal in a village pub. The food was tasty and well cooked, the waiting staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely visit again.

Place had a lovely warm atmosphere & good service. Food was good & tasty with decent size portions. Tried the hazelnut cake served with fresh raspberries and ice-cream at the end of the meal, which was a delicious sweet treat. Well worth a visit.

Not been in for a while but was really impressed with the menuGluten free options xxQuality and portion size were greatI had the pork stroganoff with rice which was creamy the pork was cook just right not tough My husband and daughter had the sausage and mash which they both said was greatWell done to the new owners and thank you fir a lovely meal We will return xStaff friendly

We had a Valentine's evening meal here last night, and it was lovely. The table was beautifully dressed, with rose petals, fresh flowers and a candle. The choice of food was good, helpings were generous, it was beautifully cooked and promptly served.The staff were friendly and helpful, we couldn't fault the food, all in all a splendid evening.Wishing the new owners all the best, if last night was an indicator for the future, they will be an asset to Wilstead.We will definitely be back soon.

Jut popped in for Sunday lunch after we heard the place was under new ownership; friendly staff and food was superb with generous portions as well. The beer was also beautifully conditioned so definitely on our list for frequent returns.

Just returned from dinner at the Woolpack and can't help but think we were part of some hidden camera scenario. The chain of events included several items not available on the already limited menu, an unacceptable wait for the food to be served, food not as described in menu ie Spring greens and sprouts (which I hate) instead of roasted root veg and mint jus (which I also hate) on the lamb shank. I asked to speak to the manager so I could provide some constructive feedback on our poor experience and a man came to our table who said he was the owner/chef. I can only describe his manner as confrontational and aggressive when I politely explained the issues. He said the greens and sprouts were just 'extra veg' and the mint was in the jus, neither of which he could see as a problem despite me pointing out that I wouldn't have ordered the meal if I'd have known it included mint and green veg. I remained calm and polite but his manner was very intimidating. He said 'dont pay for it then' and walked off shouting a******e as he left! As our party was made up of three women, I can't help but wonder if his manner would have been the same if a man had been with us. We asked for the bill as we were keen to leave and a lady came over who said she was the partner of the owner/chef and spoke to us about the incident. She was polite and charming and apologised for the errors on the menu and for the behaviour of her partner. Her customer service was excellent and it's just such a shame that the poor service, underwhelming food and confrontational behaviour of the owner/chef probably means she will have to put these skills to use on a regular basis. Neither myself or my two female friends are 'flaky' and easily offended or intimidated but all of us were left feeling extremely uncomfortable after this visit.

We have had both an evening meal and a lunch in The Woolpack since the new owners have taken over, and are pleased to report the food is of the same high standard as before. Staff friendly and helpful. We will be visiting again very soon.

We have had three super meals at the Woolpack over the last few weeks. The Woolpack is a proper village pub that stocks a good range of beers, wines and spirits and excellent reasonably priced food.The staff are always welcoming, friendly and helpful and the chef has created a good and varied menu. We do not eat meat (there are excellent choices for those who do as our friends attest) but find plenty of fish and vegetarian dishes to chose from. Everything we have tried has been delicious and well presented. Darren is also very helpful in adjusting a dish to suit our requests where possible. We are looking forward to our next visit to this friendly village pub.

Having passed this pub & noticed the new menu & restaurant advertised decided to try a lunch time visit. The landlord & staff were very friendly & efficient. Good choice on the menu, both lunch bites & main meals. Steak night on Thursday requires booking we were informed. The food was very good & good value for money. A return trip is already planned.

Visited with my parents. Lovely welcome from polite young serving lady. Had the prawn cocktail to start which was excellent- but this is where is all started to go wrong. Waited approx 3/4- 1 hour for our mains, which when they arrived we're not great. The burger was tiny, about the size of a slightly squashed meat ball. See picture. Fish and chips was overcooked verging on burnt. 4 real ales on offer, each was served without any head. I think the bar staff need some training on how to serve beer not lager. Pub has great potential and to be fair a good local following for drinks, but the quality and portion size of the food is very poor.

Awesome atmosphere, all types of people, walkers, locals and regulars. Loved our meal a Sunday lunch like my man used to cook. Staff very attentive and friendly , I'm going to recommend to anyone with a pair of ears. Thanks again. 👍
