Woolpack in East Hertfordshire

avoid the lazy Sundays. cold too much Yorkshire. onion bits greasy upside service and atmosphere. should have had a burger.

If you looking for a cozy place for a cold autumn days, I just can't imagine better place!! P.s. Porn star marnini cocktail was just something 🤤🥰

Very cozy place. Crackling firewood in the fireplace creates a homely atmosphere. Helpful and attentive service staff. The drinks were delicious. I think we will be back again and again.

A sunny Saturday afternoon at a pub in the centre of historic Hertford. An excellent pint of Macmillan's IPA, smiling friendly staff and a welcoming manager with a wonderful sense of humour which made our day. Food as ever was quickly served, hot and cooked just right. If you like riverside pubs with a genuine waterside terrace and wonderfully lit as night falls then this pub is well worth a visit. Quiz and karaoke nights during the week. Dogs welcome as well. Gave the Woolpack a return visit after a long absence and nothing had changed. Pleasant interior, beer as good as ever but music just not to our choice. There is a time and a place for garage/idie/hiphop style but this was not the time - 3.30pm in the 'graveyard shift. Really loud and playing to about six other customers. Speakers not the best, bass line unpleasant and had to shout to talk to each other. Sorry, but had to vote with our feet this time.

Had a lovely Monday lunch here. Great service, on tread menu, comfortable seating. Best selection of Sauces to accompany meal I had every seen. Ladies toilet clean and tidy.

A very cosy and authentic rural pub. The service was amazing with personalized attention, they explained very well the types of beers on tap. The food was not only delicious, but was ready quite quickly - although times passed by quickly drinking such good beers. And finally I found a habanero sauce that lived up to the expectations 🔥👌 We weren’t expecting to spend much time in Hertford, but The Woolpack and the staff changed out mind!

Enjoyed my Red Flag burger, which was succulent and tasty

Great food and very good service, Try it!!

Had lunch by the river was a lovely outdoor area. The burger and wrap we had were fresh and delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly😎

Had the Baddie Burger with the sauce, came cut in half in a pool of cheese sauce and gravy. Gave me heart palpitations, 10 stars, would palpitate again.

Nothing much to look at but very good food and friendly service.

Lovely staff and great pub for birthday drinks

Great pub to visit with friends they have a pool table and a dart board with a great selection of drinks and some great friendly staff

Pleasent staff, good service, nice lunch.

Enjoyed a few drinks outside, good seating area, the Country Oak beer was good.

We called in this lunchtime (with our dog) and were made very welcome by all the staff. The food and beer were great. Locally brewed beer as well. Would recommend.

Love this pub. Food is great, excellent selection of beers and great location.

I have bean wating 40 mlnutes for my food it is unbelievable

We've been here several times now, the food is consistently amazing. Top quality meat , great service and a lovely pub. The kids meals are of the same quality as the adult meals too just smaller which is a rarity these days. My daughter thinks the burger is the best she's had and that's saying something!!

The Woolpack Bar is great! Very atmospheric place. We ordered fish and chips with lager beer and were very satisfied. It was tasty! Service was great! 🙂

I can only talk from the few pints I had. Its seemed the pints I had a huge head on them indicating a poor pouring method or the C0² quantity was off, but I can not fault the service and atmosphere. Friendly staff, quick and very efficient.

Great atmosphere, lovely pub and great beers. Food menu had been wiped out by a function so couldn’t eat.

Great meal tailored to my requirements We both ate burgers and chips meals and shared a squid starter. Friendly staff. Good food. Really enjoyed it. Will go again.

Absolute brilliant place, yet again, not disappointed 👏 absolute brilliant food again.

Food was unreal. Had the new fejita burger and its was amazing!!! Definitely a go to! Service was quick and good too

Great local pub, normally a good crowd. Games room and pool room really fun. Staff are very friendly. The back room is also available for private hire, we had our engagement party here and it was amazing!

Nice burgers, good beer. Will be back to win the quiz again soon! (*Update - we won the quiz again)

Me and my fiancé came here to eat a lunch, we've never been before and it was delightful. Service was fast, kind and food was delicious!!! I had a beyond vegan burger which was incredible and my fiancé had a halumi wrap which he enjoyed a lot. We would definitely come again if we were in the area. Nice ambience, location and interior. You can order through their app which is convenient. Best skin on fries I've ever had

Great food, service and friendly staff. Never disappoints.

Not a pub man myself but you’ll be seeing more of me! Great food with a riverside view, friendly and warm atmosphere. Can’t get more from a pub. If you’re in Hertford, defo recommend popping in👍

Great pub with fantastic service and an amazing atmosphere. Great food couldn’t fault the experience

Good, dog-friendly Mac's pub by the river, very friendly and efficient staff. New menu is ok. The riverside terrace is a great place for a pint of Macs IPA (not to confused with trendy hop-soup, piss coloured IPAs from so-called craft breweries). Sadly there are limited number of sensible tables on the terrace, most have been replaced with silly high tables with attached ridiculously high and uncomfortable benches. The upper terrace only has these preposterous seating arrangements making the only accessible part of the garden unsuitable for people with mobility issues.

Great pub, super, friendly, helpful staff...our go-to Saturday lunch venue. Menu has loads to choose from and everything we have chosen is lovely. We look forward every week to seeing the warm friendly smile and great service...especially from Jenny. Highly recommended!

Been in today with friends . Had a great time the staff was very welcoming and caused an instant good vibe. Loved the chicken wings . Will be returning

I asked Nash for a hot chocolate at 7:30pm on a friday but Nash decided to tell me he has already closed the machine when they shut at 12am, and when i asked why he said “cause i can oh well” I think this is no way to speak to a paying customer and they should really re think there choice of staff!!!!!!!! I will not be RETURNING ever again. Disgusting.

Another great lunch here. Fish and chips and a pint of AK. . . heaven. Great staff and a lovely clean pub. Food came out super quick and was delicious.

Nick and his lovely staff made us welcome. We had great food and fantastic service. We will be back.

Run out of Guinness on Christmas Eve! What more can I say!

Im sorry to have to do this but my dad wouldn’t allow me to complain at the time. I’ll start with the burger, dry/not fresh brioche bun, over seasoned patty with black pepper. Small sticky wobbly table. And filthy glasses. One of the dishes had to be sent back because it was cold. I won’t be coming back not even to drink. I’ve worked in hospitality 12 years so I know how things should be and how they shouldn’t be. Heed my advice and don’t eat here unless sub par is what you’re into. Really disappointing Christmas lunch, I’m annoyed we had to pay for it tbh.

Fun night out with lovely atmosphere, good service and great live music by young incredibly talented singer Grace George. Hope to return when she is there next.

We booked a large group booking for 20 (adults and children) with only a few days inadvance notie. The Woolpack were very accommodating, didn't require a deposit and were happy to accept a pre-order. Jenny who served us was brilliant and so very helpful with bringing our dishes out and looking after us from start to finish. Thankyou Jenny & the Woolpack team for accommodating us at such late notice.

It was fairly quiet so very pleasant and comfortable. A good range of Christmas drinks including mulled wine and Bootwarmer is on offer.

Great place for a drink with your mates on a Friday night.

Avoid the food. Great river location. I tried the chicken wings. Wish I hadn't. Probably the worst chicken wings I've ever had. The chicken and sauces seemed well past its best with little flavour. The meat looked odd too. I was hungry but couldn't stomach it. Food was very disappointing. My girlfriend who finished mine was then ill overnight.

Great pub food, lovely location

Can’t go wrong here for food and drinks, with a lot of variety. Very impressive the amount of drinks on offer and really enjoyed the Korean chicken dishes they had

Nice decent place to go with mates and for food! Service is friendly! Great place to visit when in Hertford!

Great spot by the river . Friendly staff and good beer. Win win. Would definitely recommend and we will be back. Couple of pool tables there too

Good pub. Friendly staff, chilled atmosphere. Definitely Rex one knot

Great place in amazing riverside setting. Had a veggie burger & chips that was excellent & served by very friendly staff. Definitely recommend a visit

Had a coffee in the garden Sunday evening by the river. The tree looked beautiful lit up in purple

Lovely friendly pub next to the river in the centre of town. Very clean throughout and served by friendly staff. Reasonable prices and a good selection of drinks and food.

Really lovely place, great shuffleboard!

Great all round, and staff were brilliant...!

Stopped for lunch and a pint. Both excellent. Little atmosphere at lunchtime as the indoor area was quiet.

Lol overly riverside pub with very pleasant outdoor seating areas. The prices aren't too bad, the drinks selection is varied and the staff are super polite!

Rude staff rubbish food overpriced beer Such a shame as the location is lovely I recommend some customer service training and the manager is a w a n k e r

Great function room in the barn at the back, had a really good time attending a surprise birthday party. I love that they serve frickles (fried pickles) as well, as they are hard to find! Nice little garden area as well

Friendly pub, staff very polite and food was good.

The food was fantastic, barstaff we're friendly. All dogs are welcome.

Amazing gluten free burgers and sweet potato fries. Good selection of drinks.

Great terrace by the river. Friendly staff.

Love this little pub. Lovely Food & Staff

Good local pub with great selection of drinks. Nice outside space, a popular venue, staff nice and helpful

Very good food and beer. Very friendly staff. One for my favourite pubs

It's has a nice feel about the place & staff friendly

First time I been in here. It won't be the last. Deceptively big beer garden at the back.

Great lunch made even more pleasurable by the lovely Grace. She was attentive, caring and super efficient. All establishments need a Grace👍👏👌

Use the pub often BUT, being such a lovely evening we decided to sit outside but tables. And seats were covered in birds poo and it looked like it had been there for days.

Great nights stay and good breakfast .

Really friendly staff, reasonable prices for drinks and the pub garden the background it has is beautiful.

Great pub, good guest beers, lively music and views of the Canal.

Interesting place to go out for a drink in the afternoon.

Delicious burgers, wings and beer and great service!

Really great food at affordable prices. Staff were lovely especially Jenny who done everything she could to make us happy. Will definitely be back 😁

Great venue, very friendly staff. Food excellent and good bar picees.

0 out of 10 for allergy friendly! This is a McMullins chain, how do you not have an allergy menu or cook the products in different fryer to the fish. Rude service!

The burgers are fabulous, always a great atmosphere. Never have a bad night.

Ww went on quiz night. Friendly staff and good selection of drinks.

Cozy place with good beer and food!

Wonderful pub situated on the River Lea in Hertford. Dog friendly and a good mix of ages in the pub all times we visited. Staff are all very friendly and loved giving our dog a good scratch around the collar before offering him a bowl of water and a little plate of treats! Food is predominantly Burgers , Nachos & the likes, all tasty and well presented. Nice selection of ales and diverse choice of lagers and craft beers... highly recommended.

Lovely venue right next to the river

Another great time at The Woolpack. Genuine warm welcome from the very attentive staff. Had a lovely meal on the Sunday and Monday. Very clean and spacious pub and it's super dog friendly too. Both meals were served very quick and tasted delicious. Beer was up to Mac's usual very high standard. I was brought up on AK and that was an amazing pint !!. Definitely recommend so if you are in Hertford you can't go wrong popping in and enjoying the atmosphere.

Very friendly pub with great staff and great beer . Also very dog friendly which is always good .

Nice pub, really friendly staff who acknowledge to add you walk in. Helpful when ordering, and acknowledge you as you leave, too. Nice vibe about the place.

Great venue! Great Tuesday Quiz (and host!! Haha) and burgers to die for!!

Amazing atmosphere with excellent staff

I’d recommend anyone without in-laws on site to get down to the Woolpack right away. Lovely stuff. The beer, the company, proper.

Friendly staff, good lunchtime selection of food, and dog friendly 🐺😁

6 of us with various food and drink restrictions, plus two dogs. Everyone was well catered for by very friendly staff. Fantastic meat free options, good value, cosy fire and Alf and Ella would like to thank the lovely ladies for their water bowls and dog treats. Will definitely be back xx

Food variety and quality is amazing! Enjoy going here every time for lunch.

Cozy and clean pub, with friendly staff and has a nice fire you can sit round if you get lucky. I liked the burger even if proved a little tricky to eat, but it was a double bacon burger and chips were amazing.

Amazing venue, staff are always friendly and helpful, food and drink is also great.

Like some - just a couple - small alcoves, gently old fashioned look, nice outside space by the river..

Nice selection of well presented burgers

Well located pub in the centre of Hertford. Went there for an evening drink. Popular, friendly helpful service. Good selection of food and drinks. Would return.

Really like this pub. They have games rooms out the back with darts, pool and a bar. The pub itself is really friendly with nice staff, good selection of beers, cocktails and the food is always good quality

Nice drinks, but food is horrible, all came very cold. Halloumi Fries, need to be fried, was cold and raw! Prawns couldn’t even eat. But staff very attentive and nice! Just food very disappointed !

Great evening there and great entertainment on a Friday night

We had a lovely lunch which was delicious and very good value for money. The staff were friendly and attentive.
