The Woolpack Inn in Stroud - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in for a drink after work and was very pleasant. The staff were really friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a drink outside in the outdoor seating area

Was staying nearby and found this title gem. We were welcomed with a cheery hello. Everyone in the pub were so friendly and chatty with us. We ordered the small portion of scampi chips and peas so I could have a pud 🤣hubby had hunters chicken salad and chips. We didn’t have to wait very long for our meals and they were piping hot. I had the treacle sponge with piping hot custard for y pud which was so yummy. All the regulars were very friendly and included us in their chats. Prices were reasonable and the food so delicious. Then the next night we went back as we had such a good meal the night before and the landlord welcomed us as tho we were regulars. Food again was fantastic we both had the fish and chips and was so tasty. Had a great night and if we are In the area again will definitely without a doubt go again. The landlord and his staff are so friendly and helpful no wonder they are so busy. 👍

Two couples had a really good lunch experience at this very friendly and well run pub. The food is very good quality and at an extremely reasonable price. The menu is wide ranging with a choice of light bites if required. I had the three sausages with mash and peas, very tasty and enjoyable. The other members also gave their meals a 10/10 vote. To conclude I had the Crumble of the day with custard, a great home made dish. Well done to all the Staff you got everything spot on.

We popped in for lunch today whilst in Stonehouse shopping and we weren’t disappointed. Friendly warm welcome from staff, quick and easy service at the bar. The menu was a good variety of choice with a section of ‘small plates’ options that my husband was so pleased to see. The specials board looked good too. Food was cooked well and it was quick to serve with nothing too much trouble when we asked for extra sauces. Again good choice of pudding with mix of classics and specials. We will definitely visit again.

Bought Fish and Chips and Chicken Salsa. Fish and Chips were off small plate menu as they DO NOT serve Fish and chips on main menu ?! When the Fish and chips came was totally shocked sooo small. So small in fact asked waitress waitresd if it a child's portion? Was told 'no it's small because on small plate menu' £8.95! When said we weren't happy was told 'we don't set the price or the portions. Hard to get fish'. Really? Chip shop manages decent portions at a reasonable price!! Asked for our feedback to be passed onto Manager was told 'She already knows'. Obviously loads of complaints but could not care less. Don't waste your hard earned cash.

I look after the social activities for an LGBTQ+ hiking group called Trek/Fit. With very little notice, the fabulous landlady Ange, was able to feed and serve over 35 LGBTQ+ people with good, hearty pub food which arrived hot, tasty and even arrived at exactly the same time. We were so impressed we even have a round of applause! Ange and her staff made us feel not only welcome, but valued and the Woolpack and count on us to always visit this historic inn every time we’re hiking in the area. Thanks so much for having is!

Excellent friendly barman. Good scampi and chips. Very quiet but we still have enjoyed our visit. Thanks for good evening!

Great place after the walk in local wilderness. Wonderful and nicely documented history in the Inn about how the author of Cider with Rosie was a regular there. Nice to sit in or out.

Was not to busy given it was a Saturday 19 Nov 2022. Barman was pleasant courteous drinks were good(Carling and gin for my other half). Food was available if required. Lovely decor comfortable pub with character

Called for a drink in the afternoon... Food was closed... Np... Called back early evening 19:54 food had again just closed like wtf do you actually have a chef? Booked into the local Italian that was no problem...... Good luck with your part time business, BTW it's always quiet when you are shut people #justsayin why is you tail wagging the dog?

What an absolute joy. The service and the food was superb and the staff were wonderful especially Regan, so friendly and made us feel right at home. Excellent value for money

Called in 12.00. We had 3, light bite meals. The food was piping hot, tasty and very good value. New manager, Barry has a lovely, welcoming manner. This pub should be a lot more popular. Try it before the word gets around!

Visited for a date night, food and a few drinks. Lovely pub, great drinks nice atmosphere and layout. The food was a massive let down, not the way it was cooked, just the sheer quality of it, burger was a cheap burger van type and the fish was very poor. Would visit for drinks anytime but steer clear of the food!

Popped in here for a drink on way back to Stonehouse Court hotel. Received warm welcome. Lovely little pub.

Ales were good, clean pub, friendly staff, good atmosphere. Will defenitely be using this as my local. Haven't tried food yet, will do next time.

Lovely find just in the village, staff very friendly and helpful the Starapramen excellent great snacks lovely and peaceful in the beer garden dog friendly, great for all ages will return, a must visit🍺👍🐶

Although being sat outside, my family had a fab time. We were served within a few minutes of arrival after all relevant covid checks and precautions. We decided to order food and my husband ordered a home made pie or "what I would call a proper pie" he said. My children were satisfied with their affordable price kids meals as well. All in all, we had a great time and will definitely visit again!

My partner and I came visit last night, our first date night in a while due to Covid. We sat down outside waited to be served waited 10minutes intill my partner went in to see if they could serve him at the bar. One girl was about to in till another girl came around and said no you have to wait intill we come to you out side. We were waiting a good 20minuted after that, where it got to the point of me going in to ask if we could served as we’d been waiting for god knows how long. People who came in after us getting served before we did. I understand times can be busy, me and my partner worked in a busy pub but when we came wasn’t overly busy at all. Was quite disappointed in the service Garden was lovely and is a lovely pub just a shame about the service.

The staff were extremely strict with the Covid regs and after that the service was spectacular. We didn’t have any delay with ordering and getting our drinks at the table and our server, Florrie, was cheerful, helpful and very efficient. A great experience all round.

Absolutamente espantoso, se sentó durante 15 minutos mientras dos lugareños que ya estaban allí tomando una copa se sirvieron otro antes que nosotros, cuatro mujeres tomaron sus cafés y luego el carnicero local pete llegó después de nosotros y nuevamente fue servido antes que nosotros. ! ! ! Ni una palabra de la mujer detrás de la barra en una disculpa, que creo que se llamaba Ann, así que en general me sorprende cómo este pub se las arregla para permanecer abierto si tratan a la gente así, definitivamente NO lo recomendaría en absoluto. .

Vivo en Bristol y un compañero jubilado vive en Evesham. Decidimos que necesitábamos ponernos al día en algún lugar central para los dos, así que mi amigo sugirió reunirnos aquí. Una buena eleccion. Habíamos reservado y llegamos justo después del mediodía y nos recibieron. Los detalles de Track & Trace se tomaron a la llegada y se registraron junto con la hora. Teníamos varias mesas para elegir y la agradable anfitriona nos dio menús. Pronto nos tomaron pedidos de bebidas. El menú era limitado, como era de esperar, pero había pizarrones en la pared que ofrecían opciones vegetarianas y las especialidades del día. La comida cuando se entregó estaba bien presentada y atractiva. Sabía tan bien como parecía. El bizcocho Lemon Drizzle de postre era para morirse.Las instalaciones sanitarias estaban impecables y la música de fondo era "clásica" y no entrometida.La única razón para la caída de una estrella en la calificación fue que el pub podría haber estado más cálido. . . Era un día soleado, pero el pub tiene un aspecto norte y había una brisa fría. La calefacción de bajo nivel podría haberse encendido antes de abrir al mediodía.Sin duda volveremos en una fecha posterior.La única razón

Llamado para un almuerzo ligero. Casera muy amable y muy profesional. Jardín de cerveza encantador y la comida era excelente. Muy buen manejo de las salvaguardas Covid con abundante desinfectante, mascarillas usadas por el personal. Siempre dicen que se puede saber cómo se maneja un lugar mediante sus baños. ¡Estaban impecables!

¡Visita absolutamente increíble! La selección de bebidas y comida fue excelente y todo el personal fue muy acogedor y nos hizo sentir completamente a gusto con todas las medidas de COVID implementadas. ¡Estamos ansiosos por volver y comer el pastel que recomiendo encarecidamente!

Llamado por la remota posibilidad de conseguir una mesa, el pub estaba bien gestionado y además de las normas de COVID. Elegimos el bistec jamón fuera del tablero de ofertas especiales, aunque el nuevo menú tenía algunos platos encantadores: la comida llegó perfectamente preparada, un buen tamaño de porción y un huevo frito perfectamente cocinado también. Buenas opciones de cerveza real y sidra Aspalls.

Fui a comer fuera para ayudar el martes por la noche en agosto. Muy concurrido, las colas en el bar se extendían hasta el aparcamiento. Personal limitado tan largos tiempos de espera. Falta de distanciamiento social, por lo que se superó con creces las pautas de Covid para la cantidad de clientes.

Laura, Jack (y Luna, por supuesto) se han hecho cargo recientemente de The Woolpack Inn, pero brindan una cálida bienvenida, incluso con todas las reglas de distanciamiento social vigentes. Me encanta que se admiten perros, la comida era muy buena y la sidra es una delicia :). Espero volver a visitarlo en un futuro muy cercano.

Great pub with amazing food. How they have coped with reopening after such a trying time is a triumph. Ignore the bad comment about opening hours, if we can't be fair an lenient at times like these when can we?!

Como somos veganos teníamos lo único en el menú adecuado, que era una hamburguesa vegetariana. Excelente pan con hamburguesa húmeda y ensalada bien vestida. He estado vegetariano por más de treinta años y esta hamburguesa fue una de las mejores que he probado. Buen servicio también y una amable camarera.

Wine from 17.50 to 22 for Sauvignon Blanc. It's possible to offer better prices but the response was one of resistance. Had the worst meal ever - burnt scampi, overcooked frozen peas and anaemic chipsThere is not a chef on these premises - or if there is he/she needs a complete new training course

Visited for food, it was freshly cooked and delicious. Still dog friendly in bar and lounge. Staff friendly and happy to help. New decor is really nice, kept some of the traditional elements, but modernised, nice comfy chairs. Lots of choice on menu, traditional pub fare, simple but done well. So happy the Woolly is back to stay, a real asset to Stonehouse.

Totally agree, very rude, never smiles, serving patrons seems to be mostly an effort. Locals had high hopes, but disappointed once again. This pub used to be heart of the town - such a shsme

Excellent value for money. Delicious tasty food and plenty of it. I have never found the landlady to be rude, In fact quite the opposite. Very friendly and welcoming. As are all the staff. We had a wonderful Christmas meal here, not one person in our party had any complaints at all.Keep up the good work!!

arrived at 810 pm the Friday before Christmas it was packed. The previous landlord having been asked to leave . A change of Beers on tap and a full pub took time to get service but a improvement .Closed from 11/01/2020 for approx 3 weeks for a Refurb

Went today for a Christmas meal with my friend and my 4 year old. They was accommodating as I originally only booked for 2 adults and at the last minute my daughter came with us and they were absolutely fine about itSeperate dining room away from the bar which was very festive. A bit disappointed that a childrens menu isn't on offer as that is the only thing really that would put me off going againMy daughter could only have a smaller portion of an adult meal most of which she wouldn't eat. However food was lovely, hot and a very good portion. Paid £36 for 3 meals and 2 puddings which I thought was very reasonable. Found all the staff very nice and not at all rude, waiting times for food wasnt too bad and pudding was super quick. Pudding was lovely too.

The landlady seems willing to go out of her way to be extraordinarily rude and obnoxious. It is quite unfathomable as to her psyche.

Food was lovely, ruined by the rude landlady who made you feel like you were an inconvenience . Will not be returning !!

She made me and my friends feel very uncomfortable. Other staff were very welcoming But I will never go there again.

Do not go there unless you want to be insulted. She was awfully rude to us all for no reason. This used to be a nice pub until she arrived.

Well what can I say superb welcome from Jude Landlady ,Lovely pub and really nice atmosphere ,thanks guys Swansea Paul x

No volvería a este pub. Cuando escuché que este pub fue tomado por nuevos propietarios / gerentes, pensé que funcionaría mejor. Y ha tratado de hacer un esfuerzo reabriendo la cocina. ¡Nigel es un chico encantador en cuanto a Judy! Bueno, quería conseguir una pinta y una copa de vino para mi pareja. Me había visto esperando durante unos 5 minutos y parecía que no quería servirme. Cuando pedí una pinta y vino una vez más, ella se dio la vuelta y dijo: "Oh, pensé que no querías beber aquí", me dijo tu tipo muy grosero. . Me sorprendió mucho y realmente me sentí como si no fuera bienvenido a este pub. El lugar sería mejor si fuera dirigido por Nigel y el equipo (no Judy). Si fuera bienvenido a este pub, volvería a probar la comida porque he oído que la comida es deliciosa, pero todavía no puedo juzgarlo.

Been in a couple of times since the change of ownership. The improvements are great, good menu and excellent food.

El pub está dirigido por dos gerentes Judy y Nigel.

El 13/09/2019, un amigo y yo nos detuvimos en la posada Wool Pack en Stonehouse, ambos pedimos una pinta de cerveza, y nos ofrecieron media pinta o una pinta de vaso, elegimos una pinta de vidrio que luego fue colocado junto a la botella de cerveza, pero antes de usar el vaso noté que el vaso estaba extremadamente sucio y decidí beber de la botella.

they have fresh menus everydays. 味道好 风景好，我点了一个羊排，很入味，很新鲜.这里到了晚上是一间酒吧。可是食物也很好吃。非常值得过来试一试

Friendly new landlord, great food, value for money, polite and helpful, Sunday carvey 12-2 was a excellent choice

Asombrado por todo lo que este lugar tenía para ofrecer. . . ¡o no! Casera grosera que elige cuando el pub cierra - 9. Las 20 h de la noche que visité, después de haber jurado ante un cliente: ¡encantador! Luego está el asado del domingo si le gustan las carnes y verduras muy bien hechas que se ahogan en agua tibia, con papas asadas especiales cocinadas en vino tinto. Saben tan extraños como suenan. . . yuk Si te atreves a visitar coge dinero ya que no aceptan tarjetas. En mi opinión, The Woolpack Inn debería estar cerrado.

Had time on my hands and thought I would pop in for a spot of lunch. Pub looking very tired, no ambience and the food was very poor. This place needs a total overhaul

Nice pub but not excellent. There are only 2 pubs in the area and it’s true this is the best one but it could be better, especially regarding the service. The waitresses are not very polite and the prices higher. I hope it will improve. Cheers.

This is a beautiful old pub with great space. However, it has clearly been run down and the toilets are vile. The bar area is dirty. As we left the landlady was swearing and shouting at someone - she really is frightening!!! Such a shame as it could be a wonderful place run by the right people.

My husband and I visited this pub whilst on holiday in the area for lunch and were delighted to find a really good friendly pub where both staff and the locals made us feel welcome.

After seeing the Buffet food laid on for a recent wake and being impressed 6 of our family decided to try a evening meal first impressions were they needed more Bar staff as the service was very slow but after getting seated a young waitress came took our orders and was very pleasant the meals all came together after not too long a wait and were delicious just more Bar staff needed otherwise an enjoyable experience.

Our local for a few drinks. It is probably the most expensive place locally to grab a drink, but has the nicest environment. Most of the staff are friendly, and is generalyl a good atmosphere.

Well I fancied a beer and a lunchtime feed so I was sorry to disturb the staff in this pub with my requests! It all seemed to hard but I got a beer and my special sandwich eventually arrived -wasn't worth the wait. A bit ordinary!

We just happened to be driving through Stonehouse at lunchtime so decided to stop by as the entrance seemed inviting.

Royston vasey springs to mind when you visit this pub ! Unfriendly, unhelpful, food and beer served at roughly the same temperature. Overpriced and exploiting of non locals ! Avoid ...

I visited this friendly little Inn on the 2nd August as I was staying in Stonehouse on my way to Devon. I was travelling on my own but as soon as I walked into this Inn there were friendly and smiley faces all around me. I immediately felt very comfortable on my own there. People chatted to me and I loved the atmosphere. My meal was lovely, I had a very tender Sirloin Steak which was superb. I shall certainly visit this Inn again if I am down in that area as I was made most welcome. A very pleasant evening. Many thanks Woolpack.

The worst food, the worst service, and the worst hygiene I have ever experienced.

A fascinating pub with a real "olde world" feel to it. There is a good sized dining room at the rear - ideal for functions.

A real locals pub with the lounge being a much nice environment than the Chippers bar. A good range of drinks as you'd expect in a pub and the bar staff were attentive and polite. However, having the rather miserable landlady sitting at the bar...

The woolpack is a nice welcoming pub both for meals and drinks. Bar can be a bit on the expensive side compared to other pubs in the area. Nice environment for quiet meal.

Very disappointing. Big portions but not great quality food. Very dated interior, could do with an overhaul. Chap behind the bar obnoxious.

Pub fue recomendado por un amigo que vive en la zona. Muy buena comida de pub estándar a precios muy razonables, pero la característica más sobresaliente es el gastar bromas, Loren, la camarera (que hizo todo lo posible para ayudar a los clientes) y regular. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y como en casa.

Waited 20mins at the bar with no service and no one checking the bar area for customers even though 3 people serving behind the bar they just stayed in the dining area, we ended up leaving without even getting served. Awful.

We just popped in here for a pint before our train home - lovely pub! Great ale and a cheery welcome. We sat outside in the late autumn sunshine after our walk along the canal which is highly recommended. The town itself is a bustling place and we wished we'd left more time to explore and have another excellent pint!

Fair to say it's a rustic local but it's friendly and good fun.Jan the land lady is fantastic and welcoming. The fact they serve rattler on tap (not for school nights) makes it even better!

I live locally and visit the Woolpack whenever I go for a drink with my partner or friends.I love the atmosphere and character ,plus the staff and management are always friendly .They have bands/singers once a month on a Saturday too.

Visited whilst spending the weekend with my sister and her partner. Having never been, they were interested in visiting one of their new locals. Outside it looks quite impressive, and indoors gave the feel of an old country pub.A small selection of ales were available, although many of the taps appeared to be off on our visit. Drink prices were average - with a special deal on some of the bottled beers. The staff were pretty friendly, with the barmaid offering to keep half our drinks (from the drinks offer) in the fridge to keep them cool whilst we had our first. There is a large pub garden, which looks like it could be a nice place to enjoy a drink in the sun and with some children running around, it would appear they cater well for children. They also have a pool table and jukebox - so there was plenty to keep us entertained. We didn't try the food as we had planned on a takeaway when we were leaving, so cannot comment on the food unfortunately. I think we will be visiting there again on my next visit to Stonehouse, so look forward to trying a few of the other ales they have to offer.

We came here for Sunday lunch today. There was 3 of us. My father suffers from a long term health condition which means he cannot eat very much - the waitress kindly let him have a child's portion of a pork roast dinner.He thoroughly enjoyed his meal, as did the rest of us. My mother had a small beef roast, and I had a pork and leek pie. The portion sizes were generous and the food was of a very high quality.The pub was homely and nice, the drinks were quite expensive - something we have come to expect in local pubs. The food however, was very reasonable - especially considering the generous portion sizes. The only reason I have scored this 4/5 instead of 5/5 is that we were overcharged (which the waitress did rectify) and some of the staff were walking around barefoot. I consider this a massive health and safety risk for those members of staff and a hygiene issue. The staff (particularly the waitresses) seemed very inexperienced, and could do with some lessons on customer service - but it's safe to say they did their best. I'll agree with the other reviews which says the landlady can come across as rude - we witnessed this. We've also heard from a few friends that visited, that she can be very rude to patrons unless they are considered 'regulars'. Overall, a good old fashioned pub, with lovely food. We will be visiting again.

The web site gave me the impression that they did food right through the evening, but when we arrived no meals were available.We had to drive on to Stroud and eat at Wetherspoons, always reliable.

Nice little quaint pub to go to. Nice and quiet as well as a lovely barman who served us. The food was nice and the pub was nice as well.

Needing somewhere to eat after a journey of a few hours we decided to try Stonehouse as I knew they have a few eating locations. We came across the woolpack is tucked into away a little but not to unnoticeable. On entering the bar the dated decor was pleasing to the eye. We proceeded to order our meals and drinks. It was apparent that the bar man would bend over backwards however his hands are tied by this person who constantly watched him at one point.When the meal arrived the waitress was helpful. The meal itself was apertising the chips was mind blowing and would recommend.

we visited this pub over several nights when we stayed for a family wedding the owner couldn't have been more helpful anything we asked for she helped out with there was a big party of us and she made sure we were feed and watered the food was of a good standard and the staff tried their best even though they couldn't understand our accent live music was fab as well

We struggle d to find a local pub that did food then we found the wool pack it was quaint the only thing was I had the chilli which should have come with cheese and tortilla crisp but didn't my husband had liver he said it was loverly enjoyed our meals mrs underwood

Had a beautiful roast dinner all fresh and home made the soup was lovely home made leek and potato crusty bread and good butter no cheap spread. we will be back.

Had dinner preceeding a fabulous Carol Service. The food was exceptional, staff incredibly friendly and helpful despite the number of people both inside and out.

I have been here often. Old building Real ale etc Characterful pub in Slad Well known as having been Laurie Lees local Very very busy always so you need to book for food. Great views and walks around the immediate area.

We have been to the Woolpack several times over the last few months and have had a good meal with efficient friendly service every time. The food is very good value for money, pub grub at its best and not 'gastro pub' in any way I'm glad to say. We will definitely be back.

Arrived twenty minutes before kitchen closed, full menu available, husband chose from the lunch menu and I chose a hot baguette even though it was late evening!! Staff very accommodating and the food arrived in good time, freshly cooked, politely served and delicious! Very generous portions, good quality ingredients and definitely value for money!

Superb selection of real ales and wonderful food at realistic prices . I had the steak myself and must say it was perfectly cooked how i asked for it and was also a nice touch that the chef came to out table to check i was enjoying it ...Great pub food and cant wait for my next visit .....

An amazing lunch and superb welcome. Baguettes so full of all our varied choices & Jacket potatoes cooked to perfection & overloaded with fillings we were unable to eat the bowls of chips that accompanied the under £5 baguettes & jackets. The real ales were similarly delightful & consumed with much enthusiasm.

Great almost spit and sawdust pub, lovely ales, beamed, low ceilings in bar area. Dining area lost a bit of charm, but good value pub grub. Not gastro, lower key. But 'hunters chicken' on specials board for £7.95 for example. nice and cheap food.

After a 2 1/2 hour journey we walked 2 miles of the Laurie Lee walk. We thought we would have lunch at the Woolpack at the halfway stage. We had looked at the website and thought how lovely the Menu was. It was my partners birthday so it was going to be a treat for him. When we arrived at the Woolpack we were told that there was no food served because the kitchen was closed for contract cleaning. I do however understand that the kitchen has to be cleaned but I would like to know why this information had not been posted on the website so it would have saved us the journey.

Visited The Woolpack with a group of ramblers and we enjoyed good, reasonably priced food which was served quickly and with a smile from the very friendly waitress/barlady. Good honest pub grub. Better than we had hoped for after reading some previous reviews.

Ate here on a Sunday and had high hopes when we entered amongst a throng of diners. How wrong we were. Food was watery, poorly cooked and tasteless. Hospitals produce much better fare. Staff were poorly led by a stressful, rude, swearing and almost aggressive landlady(?). As for a watering hole, it seemed like a happy ship with a choice of nice larger bar and a smaller livelier bar. Real ale to be applauded with friendly bar staff. Will try again for drinks but never for food. Avoid particularly if landlady is about.

the service is of a good standard. The bar and lounge are excellent. Menu is varied and a great selection on offer. Steak and onion baguette is to die for. Try it washed down with a pint of Cornish rattler. The bar staff are excellent

the food was terrible, no flavor or taste for that matter. The staff were rude and ignorant! i have never been to such an appalling place. the food and drinks were way overpriced. the atomosphere was also terrible. The landlady (what i presume) was very rude when serving our drinks, manners and smile dont cost a thing!!

Went her on the 10th June 2015 with some friends. Had a portion of chips and they tasted so fatty! Probably were cooked the night before! After we all had the chips. We all felt ill and wanted to throw up, 2 of us had upset stomachs. Really tatty looking place inside. The owner was swearing in front of us like she knew us which was horrid and Uninviting. Would I go here again? NO!Don't even want to give this place 1 star!

I really don't know how they cook their chicken! It was completely tasteless and dry. The vegetables were even worse! The cabbage was swimming in water and tasteless, the roast potatoes were again tasteless, as were all the vegetable. Perhaps they were frozen, as suggested by an earlier reviewer.I had always told friends that the Sunday roast was the only decent meal to be had in the Woolpack, but I will NEVER eat there again! I have previously had a meal where absolutely everything from chicken through to onion rings and chips were all deep fried, probably all together!

A really good satisfying Family Sunday Lunch, hadn't eaten there for some time( at least 10 years ago) next time we are in the area it will be on my to do list

What a waste of money. I had not thought it was still possible to experience such awful food in a pub. An experience not to be repeated. The only plus side being, if you want a drink, the bar area is inviting.

A truly terrible experience. Most of us had a Sunday roast. The vegetables (some of which had clearly been cooked from frozen), were boiled to mush and tasted vile. The staff were clearly inexperienced, and the lady overseeing the restaurant was far from welcoming. Also, do not even consider visiting this pub if you have young children. There is no baby changing facility. The staff recommended that we changed our children's nappies on the floor of the very unclean toilets.

Went for a meal here at the weekend with my uncle, aunt ,sister and partner.The food was very good, well cooked and plenty of it.A very well spoken young girl served us and looked after us well.The food prices are good value for money, and a previous visit for Sunday lunch was exceptional, the amount of food was huge.We eat out quite a lot in the Stroud/ Gloucester area and this is one of our favorite.Some of the recent reviews seem to differ, but i have never had any problem.All in all a very pleasant evening.

It was the Monday before Christmas and I'd expected a cheery pub to enjoy some pub grub before the days of sherry and turkey. The pub was empty. We were greeted by silence from the ,landlady, who was busy lunching with her friends or family. I ordered sausages and bubble and squeak. Cheap sausage, that can only have had nodding acquaintance with a pig. Even the 10 year old wouldn't eat them! Cheap frozen chips came with cheap frozen fish. The bubble and squeak was good though, genuine Sunday lunch leftovers, shame there wasn't more of it.Puds were ok, in a 'value food' kind of way.Hazel P.

I went to this charming establishment with some colleagues and my son. One of my colleagues started ordering and asked my 18 year old undergraduate son what he wanted to drink. He said he just wanted some water as he does not really drink alcohol. My colleague said 'Go on, have a proper drink. Reluctantly, my son said he would have a half of lager. The barmaid asked him for some ID and my son produced his National Union of Students ID card.She took this and took it to another member of staff (possibly the landlord). Between them they ostentatiously examined the card, holding it high in the air and squinting at it. After much perusal, the landlord(?) said, 'No. It hasn't got your date of birth on it.' At this point I should have left the pub but my colleague had taken a sip of his pint of mediocre Landlord and I didn't want to make a scene. My son settled for not having a drink. I am sure the staff were acting according to the law and I applaud this. However, their attitude to my son was appalling. They made every attempt to belittle and humiliate him. Sadly they succeeded. The handful of regulars in the pubs seemed quite cheerful and happy to be there. They also seemed to be treated with respect and courtesy. We were not. I will never spend any money in this pub again. Please visit this pub and make your own mind up. You may be lucky.

Visited this pub twice in one week in October when my daughter and family were here..Once for lunch and then all of us for dinner one evening..Both good experiences ...seems very strange that some people do not have the same experienceAs we did!

Not a good experience. Limited food and slovenly staff that`s all we can say. We are asked to say more but we can`t as friends who have gone there have not been impressed

A friend and I went to the Woolpack to enjoy a lunchtime birthday drink. As we entered the bar area, the solitary member of staff left to attend to some diners. The landlady was sitting in a corner enjoying her own lunch. After standing at the bar for about 10 minutes without being served we decided to leave. My friend said he would never return.If the staff had simply said "sorry we're rushed off our feet, I'll be with you as soon as I can" it would have made all the difference.I had read that the food here was good - I won't get to experience it

We were staying at the Stonehouse Court Hotel just up the road and it was very busy. We decided to wander into the village and found this place. We went into the Lounge and found the tail end of a Funeral. We thought ee had stumbled into a private do, once we established we hadn't we stayed. Glad we did. I had the country pan fried steak with mushrooms and mustard and "wifelet" had the scampi. Very nice and reasonable price. We got back to the hotel about 930 and definitely made the correct decision to eat out. Guests were complaining about still not having been fed! We decided to eat there again the next evening and the food and the local pub atmosphere was stil there. I had the swiss rol which ispork roledand covered in agreat cream and mushroom sauce. Head Office had the lasagne.very reasonable priced.

Lovely pub, great food, very friendly atmosphere, and the family that run it are so funny it's like having a running cabaret the entire time, they also tried to undercharge us by leaving two drinks off our bill, and seemed absolutely stunned by our honesty when we told them we had been undercharged. The only drawback and this has nothing to do with the Pub, is that Stonehouse only seems to have one taxi, so when we phoned at 20.55 for a cab we were told that we would have to wait until 22.30 at the earliest.

I visited here for Sunday lunch with my family and it will be the last time. The food was very poor although the food portions were quite large. I ordered pork which was tough and come without crackling an no apple sauce was offered. The veg was over cooked, tasteless an sloppy And the Yorkshire pudding tastes burnt even though it wasn't. The service could have been better and the girls serving although polite didn't seem to know what they doing, whilst the manager sat with her own family in the corner rather then help and train her staff. Very poor job overall and wouldn't recommend it either. There are far nicer places to eat for less money. That said I do t mind paying a little more for quality.
