Whoolpack Hotel in Rossendale

My brother discovered The Woolpack when it had gluten free week, so when he suggested I try it, when I came up from Birmingham, I jumped at the chance. Boy, I was NOT disappointed. I had the cheese & onion pie, which was well-filled with a lovely strong cheddar and white onion centre. The pastry was crisp and brown. Chips were fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside. The dish came with a side of mushy peas, which my mum had, as I'm not a fan, but she enjoyed them. Mum had the steak and ale pie and my brother the salt & pepper chicken. Plates were cleaned. And I'll certainly be back.

A real treat tonight. Gluten free steak and ale pie with chips and mushy peas and gluten-free vinegar 😋 And the gluten free menu is extensive. The food was superb. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. And hubby enjoyed the Theakston Lightfoot too.

We were recommended here by a friend as my daughter is coeliac and finding places to eat out that cater for this has proven quite difficult. The Woolpack menu for gluten free was amazing - really varied choices including desserts! The normal menu was also varied and the food was lovely. We had to wait a little while for the food but that didn't matter. We would definitely return. They also don't charge any extra for the GF menu which a lot of places do. Would definitely recommend especially if coeliac! : )

Had a great ‘ steak night’ experience, sirloin was cooked to perfection! Super value £45 for two including a bottle of wine! Thank you Woolpack!

Another fabulous meal at The Woolpack today. Gf fish and chips/tartar sauce, though I didn't want the mushy peas. Grandson had salt and pepper chicken and an ice cream sundae. All at very good prices. They also have home made gf pizzas, burgers and pies. Fantastic choice for us coeliacs!

We said we would go back and we did, i had the gluten free steak pie(again) and hubby had the gf salt and pepper chicken both tasted amazing. For anyone gluten free / coeliac it makes a refreshing change to have several choices on a menu, knowledgeable staff and excellent service.

Amazing - brilliant gluten free selection. We visited today with our daughter who has coeliac disease & the gluten free menu was amazing. The chef even came over to talk to her about kids options & she was offered gluten free chicken nuggets, sausages or spaghetti bolognaise. She opted for chicken & said they were the best she’s ever had (she ate them before I thought to get a pic) I tried the gluten free cheese & onion pie - delicious! Dale had a roast (can be done gluten free too) Then for afters Naomi had gluten free sticky toffee pudding, it was amazing! Service was also brilliant, we kept being checked on. Anyone with coeliac disease or a gluten intolerance should visit. The menus I have taken pics off are all gluten free, there is also a main menu but I didn’t snap that.

We enjoyed delicious home made food at very good prices. Well done to the Woolpack for having such an extensive gluten free menu!

Was expecting more to be honest. Service friendly. We ordered a steak and ale pie and a Guinness and Stilton pie. Up until the last bite, we realised the waiter had given the wrong dish to the wrong person. They both just tasted of steak pies. In the last bite, my wife noticed a slither of Stilton. They claim to be award winning. I disagree. For a pub, only 2 choices of red wine. Shiraz or Merlot. TV we were sat in front was discoloured.

Went twice once as a couple and the next day as a family . The food was rather nice so we decided to take the family on the next time . The food was ok . Cheese and onion pies and 2 vegan curries . Reasonable prices for the food but NOT for the soft drinks ( we don’t drink alcohol ) The 4 coffees and 4 small soft drinks accounted for nearly 28 alone which seemed to be excessive to me .Parking terrible ( might not be their fault) . Will not be going again

Great We went for a lovely family meal. The staff went out of their way to cater for our needs. They even went out and bought extra vegan cheese very impressed! Lovely food honestly cooked.

The gluten free menu offers loads of options with lots of home made dishes amongst these. The food was delicious and really well priced. I chose the chicken. Hubby enjoyed his 'normal' pizza, and all pizzas can be made gluten free too. Was too full to have a pudding!

We went to the woolpack in haslingden at 3 o clock. They made all my dreams come true. Being a coeliac you have to ask the question what can I eat please ! But the woolpack has a gluten free menu. I had the salt and pepper chicken with chips and salad it was absolutely lovely, then I thought well I could manage a bit of apple crumble and custard to finish off ( my goodness it nearly finished me off) it was the biggest one I have ever seen and it was lovely. I will be back and am going to work my way through the rest of the menu. Thank you to all the staff we had a wonderful experience.

Had a nice meal here this evening. Went in order to sample the gluten free menu, plenty of choice and good quality. We were able to speak with the chef and it is clear that a lot of thought and effort has gone into this, and is being done right. Would recommend and will return :-)

Very disappointing Guinness and Stilton pie flat and cold with 14 chips, chicken tika with additional chips but rice missing and lasagne with no pasta it was tomato with melted cheese and it all took over 30 min to be served and we were the only ones dining. Total cost £40. We won't be back and don't waste your money.

Excellent food with a separate gluten free menu. Milly was really helpful and Anton (chef) was really friendly. They fitted us in when we hadn't made a booking, which we really appreciated. Food was delicious and would definitely come again. Thank you 😊

Called in with 8 others on the way to the Burnley -Chelsea game and we were all most impressed with the welcoming hospitable barmaid/staff and superb breakfast menu..the mega breakfast was great and good value.Ales and other beer were good too will call in again next time we are up from the West country

Great food! Pies are always spot on here and the barmaid was great, friendly and recommending things to try 👌

I've always driven passed and thought about trying so we went in for lunch. It was very quiet which was good. The barmaid was very pleasant and we sat down where we wanted. I ordered the rag pudding and my wife went for the tuna melt. The meals arrived quickly and they looked fantastic. The rag pudding was really tasty, the gravy was very meaty and the mushy peas were perfect. I think the chips may be frozen ones, I may be wrong, but they weren't bad. My wife's tuna melt was on a really soft roll. Plenty of fries. The sandwich was tasty, however it could have done with a lot more cheese as there wasn't much on there. Not a bad little place and I'd definitely go back again.

Never disappointed always great food and service same about the gang on do call middle aged lads acting like children and being very rude to the great staff doing an excellent job

Had the pleasure of meeting some old friends today and i have to say what a fantastic service, From arriving at the pub to leaving i was made to feel so welcome by the young girl behind the bar, so helpful and nothing was to much trouble for her, A good range of food choices and what a good healthy meal it was, hats off to the chef and please keep up the good work as I will be returning, Fantastic service all round 👏 well done Definitely worth a visit ☺

AVOID this once great public house Rude landlady / management Poor customer service No eye contact Queues at the bar Didn’t even stay for a drink let alone a meal

We have been enjoying the food at this wonderful pub for years. Today though, we walked in and shortly after walked out. A number of heavily tattooed men / builder types were stood around the bar swearing loudly. This was late afternoon and at a time when families may come in with children. The young man behind the bar obviously heard them and said nothing! It’s a shame if the standards are let slip!

When we moved to the Rossendale area a few years ago, we hoped to find a local pub where we could have good food and find a friendly atmosphere. The Woolpack is exactly that! Fantastic fresh food every time and the staff and local people are brilliant and always have time to stop for a chat. Does not matter if it’s your first visit or you’re a regular, you are always warmly welcomed .. and it’s dog friendly too. Our little pooch loves all the attention she gets!!

Attended a family party at the wool pack pub it was very clean and the bar staff where brilliant however unfortunately the landlady made us feel very unwelcome from very early on.Promises where made regarding the booking none of which where kept! We was made...

My 1st visit and the Pub looked immaculately clean, staff nice and food was nice, however Iv only given a 4 as the bread roll my burger was on was rock hard at the bottom so I sent it back only for it to be...

Sunny afternoon. 30 odd tables. Only 8 taken. I was refused a pint because 'our 2 hour time was up'. Landlord must have a few quid stashed away if they continue with this ridiculous policy.

IF you’re looking for a place to eat or just drink, the Woolpack is a great choice. The Staff are very friendly and provide a good level of service, the beer garden is a lovely sunny place to sit and watch the world go by,...

We popped in here for our Sunday lunch today. We opted for the Chicken Tikka Masala served with both rice and chips and naan bread on the side. After a short wait as the pub was quite busy our food arrived. lt certainly exceeded my...

Visited here with family. Food was lovely especially the pies. Wonderful friendly staff welcoming atmosphere and plenty of space. Would highly recommend a visit Will definitely be returning

Just fancied a proper pie and peas tea, none of your fancy pants meals, with the fancy pants prices. Been to the woolpack before so knew what to expect, my husband had steak and ale pie chips and mushy peas, I had the meat and...

When I review I generally look at food, staff, pricing and premises - in that order. The Woolpack has given me something to add to that list: the landlady! I was there last Saturday and the fact that their card machine was down really accentuated...

This is local to us, about five minutes in the car but if you live out of the area it’s worth making a trip. We came for a Sunday roast in the evening as we had been out all day. It was delicious, helpful friendly...

The Woolpack (or The Bar Baa), is exceptional clean and tidy pub. A fair selection of lagers, ciders and a couple of real ales. Not forgetting the spirits, excellent choice of gins, tonics and nibbles. It’s a big pub so often seems quieter than it...

I have never been here before and I am so glad I did. This place is inviting with a grey interior that I do like. I did appreciate the cartoon sheep. The reviews said that the pies are home made and worth eating. This rumor...

We took some friends out for dinner and enjoyed a varied menu with good service. This was our first visit but it won't be the last!

We called here to hold a meeting and the staff were excellent, it was clean and inviting. A couple of people I was with asked for tea and it was nice to see it came in a teapot rather than just a cup.

This was our first visit to the Woolpack and we called in after viewing a property in the area. We were greeted by a very pleasant young lady in a friendly pub/restaurant which had recently been tastefully renovated I think. We chose our food from...

We both had pies...which were homemade with chips n mushy peas...lovely!! Everything was pipping hot and fresh yum yum Good atmosphere good beer n excellent pies.

We visited for Sunday lunch. The premises seem underwhelming from the outside, but it is clear that the interior has had a recent refurbishment. Light colours, and the place was spotlessly clean. We arrived about 12.45 and it was quite quiet, but it became progressively...

It's a while since we, my wife and I have been to the Woolpack and for the life of me I can't think why; thte food is excewllent and they sell 'proper' real ales.

We were on a walk n just popped in for a bite to eat....we were not disappointed....gud wholesome grub yum yum

Went for a quick bite to eat and a drink. The pub was very clean and tastefully decorated, Friendly atmosphere and the staff were welcoming. Our food was well presented, well cooked and was delicious BUT..mine was almost cold. I have noticed a lot of pubs/restaurants seem to serve food that itsn't hot enough and this was probably one of the worst. I was starving and ate everything but I suppose I could have asked for my meal to be warmed up a bit. The choice of menu wasn't extensive and I think thats a good thing. Just plain, delicious food , the sort of thing I really like. Would go again and would mention it, if my meal wasn;t hot enough. Worth a visit. Thumbs up from me.

We visited the pub after a refurbishment. We were warmly welcomed by the landlady and her staff. We decided to try out the menu and were surprised at the variety of choice and the value for money.

We visited the Woolpack after a late morning's shopping, the pub was quiet on the food side but a few punters were having a lunchtime pint. Staff very friendly specially the landlady who came and greeted us before she went off to do some ordering for the business. We ordered soft drinks plus the gammon, egg and chips and the scampi. The food took a while to arrive but we were in no hurry, when it turned up it was freshly made, piping hot. and nicely presented. We had thought that we would not bother with the desserts but the puds sucked us in!!! one sticky toffee pud and one ginger sponge pud, both with custard, which is the best touch and does not seem to appear too often on pub menus. Desserts arrived really hot - so while it cooled a bit I had a quick look round this old stone built imposing building, interior much changed from our last visit many moons ago, very tastefully decorated in muted colours, nice carpeting, tables pristine and polished,open fireplaces a nice touch, clean, sparkling toilets ( you know what we women are like about these) and overall a lovely homely feel to the place,. highly recommended.

My wife and I called in after shopping on Sunday.

Very friendly staff, great value food, nicely cooked, big portion sizes. Nice and clean, lovely garden out back, lot and f renovations being done too so can't wait to go back and see what it's like. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Would recommend for everyone, including families and children. Oh, and dogs are welcome too

Nipped in as a family , staff friendly , food was quick and great portions. New meal deal is great value for money too! Would definitely go back!

I found the food really tasty, great atmosphere, sports TV and gardens, would not hesitate to come to The Woolpack again.

Por desgracia, me detuve en el martes y alguna razón no sirven comida los martes por la noche. No había mucha gente allí, pero el servicio es muy amable y buenas cervezas. Tienen una amplia pantalla para fútbol.

Llamamos para algunas pintas y ver Inglaterra perder contra Islandia. El precio de una pinta estaba muy por encima de la media local, pero al menos era una buena pinta. La comida era terrible, las patatas fritas no son cocinados a través correctamente y eso...

Went on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch, very quiet only 1 other table dinning and I can't understand, small menu but specials available and lighter bites, traditional pub grub, tasty and huge portions! One of the better pubs that do food around, just one member of staff on the bar I assume she was the landlady, she was very friendly, food arrived in good time, I had the mega burger off the specials, really tasty and for two of us to dine cost under £14, extremely good value, I would definitely recommend and will be back soon

Try the Woolpack when your in townGreat friendly staff genuine home made food all served with a smileI had the awarding winning steak and ale pie probably one of the best for years and my partner had hunters chicken off the special board, short wait for the food but well worth it as it was busy Will be back there when next in townKeep up the good work

El personal es encantador y el servicio rápido. Sin embargo, mi pescado se servía fría y sabía un poco poco hecha. Ambiente y servicio son simplemente una lástima de la comida. Podría volver pronto para bebidas!!!

the whoolpack is a very friendly pub food ok quite a lot of younger people in drinking but ok the pub itself is very quaint

great food and good atmosphere, really great prices too. Very freindly hosts. There is always entrtainment on and the food is very good too

Polite and friendly staff, a smile while serving goes along way.Prices reasonable on par with other locals.Comfortable and cosy place with a nice atmosphere.I will return next time im up that way
