The Woolpack Inn in Shepway

Five star in every respect, except you cannot book a table. Easy parking too. Food was fantastic and well priced. If in the area again, I would definitely eat here.

Wonderful historical Inn and great food 👌

Food is delicious, pub is very charming, will be back again, 😍

Good service good food friendly atmosphere

Excellent food staff helpful great service

Nice friendly pub, Welcoming staff.Nice food at good prices.

Fantastic meal and the beer tasted great, what more could you ask for, if I was in the area I would definitely go back.

Great food great friendly Staff lovely atmosphere great gardens

Came here last week as a large party. I called 2 weeks in advance to 'book' a table but was informed you can't book. The general communication from the pub and between the staff was poor. Despite securing a booking for 10, when I confirmed the table three days before our reservation I was told the same thing before they actually checked for our reservation. We were then told the same AGAIN when we arrived at the restaurant. So not a great start! The food was okay, perhaps quantity over quality in some areas. The service on the day was great, our waiter was chirpy and friendly. We were over charged by 40 pounds which was recorded over the phone the next day - I must say by a very rude lady. We've eaten here before as couples or smaller groups, without any complaints. However, I don't think the pub is used to large groups.

Excellent pub both inside and garden we had sandwiches great value

Great pub for beer and food. We visited on a sunday in the main school holiday season for an evening meal, 7 of us without booking ahead They not only had a table available but the menu was great and the food itself better. The best meat pie I have ever had. Everyone was satisfied with their meals, so a great result all round. We would definitely visit again, so highly recommended 👍 One year on, same great meals👍

Amazing pies and friendly staff, who could ask for more?

An amazing place with delicious food!

Passed this little pub many times over the years but never had time to pop in so hubby took me on my birthday for a meal it was so lovely I asked for my steak well done as won’t touch if i see blood it was so good big portions too the starter was also big portion compared to other places we have been too the staff are very welcoming and make you feel at home will definitely be popping in again and passed on to friends if they want a meal out away from home

Beautiful hidden gem, lovely food, friendly staff. Shall certainly return again when passing through.

A great little country pub, mind your head vintage style! Great tasting food, generous portions at great prices! Plentiful parking and an outside seating area surrounded by fields, so peaceful and picturesque.

Good food, quaint pub, dog friendly.

Female staff member made a derogatory comment about a customers clothing. Rude staff and expensive food. Would not recommend to anyone!

Beautiful 15th century inn, lovely welcome,excellent service, generous portions and reasonable prices. What more can you ask for

Great food, good vegetarian options! Large portions.

We go there frequently the food is great staff are friendly and helpful

We have stopped here several times over the past couple of years. The food is excellent, and the staff always helpful and friendly. Not an easy pub to find, but it is signposted just before the end where you need to turn off. If you're in the area, and you want a great pub to visit,we whole heartedly recommend that you try it.

Nice traditional pub and beer garden worth a visit

Been here quite few times and I absolutely love it, bbq ribs are my favourite here the meat just falls off the bone and melts in your mouth.

Perfectly cooked food, plenty of it too! Very friendly and polite staff, only minor was Moules wasn't avaliable, but not enough of an issue to dock a star!

The pub is a traditional old pub with low beams and an inglenook fireplace. The staff were really lovely and welcoming. We did our first Brit Stop here. I had a cheese salad with baguette. There was so much food on my plate that I could only manage half of it. My husband finished up the rest! One of the reasons for choosing the Woolpack was because we could take our dog in.

Reasonable size portions, food cooked well. Service not very professional. Long waiting time even pub wasn't full. Table sticky, cutlery set stained. Glass cloudy.

What’s not to like about the Woolpack…great ale, great food, wonderful staff…all set in an historic building in beautiful surroundings…it’s my go to pub when I’m down on the marsh…”Perfik!!”

Went there today had a Sunday Roast very enjoyable with good service.

I have eaten here twice don't like reviewing on 1 visit . Food was perfect and for me the most important thing is my food is served piping hot ( Very rare these days ) service was good they were very busy. Staff very helpful and friendly. Well cooked hot food not overpriced great place

Best place to eat in the area. Hidden gem.

Really lovely old pub,great food and friendly staff, highly recommend.

Pub within walking distance down country lanes, very cosy and friendly atmosphere ,open fire nice 👌, we had food with was nice and plentiful, will be going back

Good honest food, cosy pub in the middle of nowhere. Good service from nice staff members. Reasonably priced too.

Beautiful little gem! Roaring fire. Cosy. Food was beautiful. Dog friendly which is a bonus 😊Definitely will be back.

We were on our way home from a girls weekend away and stopped for a late lunch at the Woolpack. The food was plentiful and extremely nice. It was difficult to decide what to have from the well thought of menu. We had no room for dessert! The prices are very reasonable and the service very good. We will definitely visit again!

Wonderful experience. Excellent home made food, friendly servers, lovely, old-world atmosphere.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Four in our family all really enjoyed food on Sunday so much so daughters wanted to return before our break was over . Again food was great Thank you

Unbelievable, definitely worth a visit food. Absolutely great atmosphere

What was once always with a log fire on and the hanging hops with local authors books available to buy, is now quite a bland place, was a shame, a little bit of history maybe to the menu at least, where have all the old photos from 100s of years back. Low score based on this point only, the service and staff were great, but lacked its history and with that also its atmosphere. Maybe fire regulations the hops where removed, but most definitely, the old photos over the centuries are missing, making it more of a cold place with no regards to the many who have owned the woolpack. It's like white washed it's past. Which is a shame, many many events and people were a part of this pub in the middle of nowhere, boxing day hunt, the cats 🐈 and the good old burning log fire has gone, yet if you stand under it... you can still smell the burning of 100s of years ago. At least it still has that. It's always been a great place with a lovely garden and I hope you enjoy your visit, research online the history as its a very old traditional pub and steeped in so many stories. I hope they think about this and bring g some stuff back. Please.

Went to have another lovely meal and pub says open but it’s all locked up curtain drawn. Came especially to eat not happy! It won’t let me reply to Woolpack question so - it was last night 6th at 5.15pm. The signs all said open?

Been here a few times each time food was beyond my expectations and tasted lovely well worth the money

Great pub grub. Huge portions.Very helpful and friendly staff. No faults at all.

Just had fantastic meal in a wonderful pub, highly recommend if in area. The staff are amazing and friendly extremely glad we stopped by .

Popped in for a very refreshing pint.

Large portions to reflect the price hike. 3 different menus on website so hard to tell which is still current. Not many veggie options.

Have seen this no end of times when passing but never visited before. Shame on me. Beautiful unspoiled old pub and restaurant. Great choice of food, good selection of drinks, superb service without going over the top. Four of us visited and had a variety of meals between absolutely no complaints. Will call again when have a bit more time and earlier in the day so i can fully appreciate the building and its surroundings

15th century pub full of original features serving a large choice of drinks. It has a dog friendly beer garden. A beautiful place to visit after spending a day at the beach ⛱️ The staff are friendly and lots of parking available.

Good pub let down by an awfully slow service. Waiting for over an hour to be served food.

Lovely place, helpful staff, definitely returning to try more of the menu.

Old pub with doorways to match, duck as you enter. The food was very good, sandwiches were a meal in them selves, including chips and side salad. Will go and visit again before returning home.

Fantastic food and service and great atmosphere. Thank you for our lovely meals.

Best meal we have had in a pub in years by a long way.

Lovely historic traditional inn with plentry of history. Lovely owners good food and service Worth a visit

Found this by chance whilst holidaying in Camber Sands. Lovely pub dating from 1410 with a very quirky interior. The menu was very good and at a fair price. When you see the size of the meals.. OMG... massive. Friendly staff and fellow customers. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area!!

Nine of us went for a meal. Walk in no booking. Seated straight away. Had a wait for the food, understandably as there were 9 of us. All meals came out perfect, all at the same time and hot. Tasted great. Will definitely return.

Frozen chips! No trout, and ran out of some desserts.Spoilt the meal.

Good food, lovely old pub, attentive staff.

Good food friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.

Been here on and off for the past 30 years, consistently good pub food and great service, dog friendly and spacious garden.

Very nice food is fantastic staff were very helpful atmosphere of pub pucka

Cute, cosy really good food with large portions

The slow cooked lam was delicious, the fish was good but the burger for the children was the meat hard and not so good.

My steak was so tough I was unable to eat it the chips were so over cooked there was no potato left undercooked peas over cooked bread service was terrible as understaffed the worst experience I have had in a long time also no wine in stock only left over open bottles very dissatisfied

Lovely food and big portions too

Came across this pub while out for the day and thought we would try it. Very welcoming staff and regulars, food was fantastic and the portions massive.

Never had a bad meal here. Owners are lovely.

Great food and lots of it. Very friendly staff

This is a beautiful old building however we waited 45 minutes for probably the worst meal I have ever had. No apologies for the wait. A clearly frozen, overdone veggie burger with a slice of processed cheese and a lettuce leaf in a cheap bread roll with chips. No garnish at all and no coleslaw because "it isn't vegan" - neither am I and neither was the cheese! Why this took quite so long to arrive I have no idea. 😒

Great good great service a great find, will return

Went on a blazing hot Sunday, should have been rammed, but really quiet and don't know why. Lovely pub, nice gardens, friendly staff.

We love this place. Always excellent service, wonderful food with generous portions.

Terrible service. Ordered salmon and asked for New potatoes which is actually stated on the salmon meal. Asked for vegetables and again an option. Salmon was brought out with chips and salad!! When I spoke to a member of staff, I was told we don’t have any new potatoes.. Should have made me aware when ordering because I didn’t want chips and that’s the reason I ordered the Grilled Salmon with new potatoes and veg OR salad! No apology at all. Terrible so one star

Well worth a visit, been meaning to go here for a Sunday roast as it was highly recommended to me. I finally went & wasn't disappointed. Great food, beautiful very old well kept public house & in the perfect setting. Will be back for the cod and chips that looked amazing

Very disappointed with the roast dinner. The beef was dry and cut paper thin, reminded me of how beef comes in a microwave meal ! The chocolate cake drizzled in caramel sauce was actually a doughy sponge pudding with very little caramel sauce. First time I've ever not finished a pudding! I generally wouldn't be too bothered but considering the rather high prices I would certainly not recommend eating here.

Quaint old pub with great food and a lovely atmosphere

Beautiful little pub and the food is fantastic. Every time I ride past this pub I stop in for some fruit crumble (best in kent imo)

Excellent. Old pub. Very cosy. Great food and drink. Friendly staff. Couldn’t want for more. Recommended 🤗

Very nice country pub with a beer garden food and service very good

We called in here to eat. We found the service excellent, friendly and yet professional. We were all really impressed by all the staff This is a very welcoming pub which we would all recommend. The food was excellent and we will be going back soon

Lovely burger, staff are friendly

Ate here last saturday (25th march)... food and service was excellent.. would highly recommend this lovely unique pub... we even got to take our pudding with us as we were stuffed.. thank you for a wonderful meal

Nice lunch. Just got in before a surprise 60th birthday bash.

Good food open fire greet pub only down point is the music modern ????

Lovely pub with really good food. The portion sizes are very large and well worth the prices. Staff were also very welcoming and attentive.

Lovely atmospheric pub with good portion pub meals.

Nice Pub with good food. Many Memories with my Dad who sadly has past away....

We had issues with incorrect opening times on their website and on their board but having given up, a reply to our Google review meant we tried a third time and it was a charm. Probably our best meal out in the area, the pub is very old and has lots of character for it. The food was decent, with a fair few options and all reasonably priced. We particularly liked the sticky toffee.

Lovely place staff always helpful and such lovely food 😊

Lovely olde world pub. The food is great with large portions and very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely pub, the food we had was good and great value. Only not 5 stars because of the limited number of real ales on... One! And I wasn't sure that was the best. Very friendly.

Really old pub. Decent pub grub.

Excellent service and food was superb, good size portions , can recommend.

Huge portions. Well cooked and tasty

Well worth the money, delicious

A very nice friendly pub the ladies there were rolling and made you most welcome

Good little country pub. Good food. Good people. Good drink. Big fire. What more do you won't.

5 star great service from.start to finishing. The food was amazing and big portions. We went on the Saturday has steak was amazing hot delicious and then the Sunday for the roast which was absolutely best I've had. Absolutely spot on 10 out of 10

Fantastic food Fantastic staff and a really quaint put with lovely atmosphere. We had Ribeye steak and all the trimmings & a bbq texan burger with bacon, cheese, bbq sauce, onion ring topped with a white roll. Chips & side salad which was perfect
