Woolpack Inn Restaurant in East Lindsey

Here for Sunday lunch with friends who visited. Food was good, staff friendly. But be warned your table is only yours for 90 minutes!! Very shortly after eating our meal we were reminded the table was needed and asked to leave. We quickly finished our wine as the pub was packed so didn't allow us to move elsewhere. I appreciate hospitality is suffering at the moment but not sure we will be back due to this restriction.

We had the sword fish with chilli sauce suate potato salad and hollandaise sauce,absolutely beautiful, Myself as a head chef would highly recommend dining out here and just to mention Bateman beers,"Heaven". Just love this pub,and all the staff are so nice... You just have to visit and enjoy.

My husband and I came for the first time on an evening due to the excellent TripAdvisor reviews. We were not disappointed, the food was traditional pub grub mainly, however we had the lamb shank and garlic chicken with an extra portion of chunky chips to share. Everything was DELICIOUS, so filling we were too full for a dessert but the ones we saw coming out looked huge, homemade and beautiful ( maybe next time)?. The lady serving us was super friendly, attentive and kind. She did acknowledge the VERY unruly table that was in the lounge, 3 naughty children, too old to be climbing on furniture and shouting their lungs out, sadly a reflection of some parents today who did not correct their appalling manners ( too busy on their phones) the staff apologised on their behalf, it must be hard to deal with such families!. Anyway we got unlucky where we were sat but this will not put me of dining again as the food was excellent. So thank you Woolpack you deserve the high praise 😀

Excellent food. Staff very helpful and friendly. Will certainly go again. The only thing I didn't like was dogs being allowed in the dining area and sitting on one of the seats.

Great food at this pub with a fair selection of real ales. They had just introduced a Special Offer when we were there which was excellent. All vegetables and desserts are home prepared instead of being bought in readymade and stuffed with preservatives like many pubs - what a difference that makes to the flavours! Chatted with another customer at the bar when we arrived: he also recommended the food ... and was absolutely right.

No welcome and £13,80 for a glass of wine and pint of larger. The price of food is very high and don't understand why that is .

Amazing g food exceptional staff absolutely amazing food and service ,lovely friendly pub great village atmosphere dog friendly too massive amount of food on my plate Excellent allround

Breakfast was nice but not very warm,but the drinks are not included so works out very expensive, will not go again.....

First class food and service. Will definitely come back. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Excellent menu options. Food piping hot.

Myself and My partner went for dinner at the Woolpack today, 10th. Cannot fault the food, it was lovely and plentiful. It was very well presented. On entering into the Pub there was a welcome atmosphere. We left a tip which was deserved. We will be going back again.

Why oh why have we not stumbled upon this little gem before. Had a lovely walk along the canal close by before heading here for lunch. Both myself and my partner has the smoked haddock, eggs and bacon and quite honestly it was one of the best pieces of haddock we have had. That's coming from a Grimsby lass who's uncle was a trawler skipper for 30 years. The chef is excellent. The landlord and waitress were lovely. Driving over for another taste next week.

Dropped in for Sunday lunch, hadn’t booked but we’re squeezed in by very helpful staff. Food was excellent with very generous potions of meat, very well presented. Would recommend

We were on holiday in Louth for the second time so made sure we returned to this great food pub. It looks pretty unremarkable from outside although it does have an impressive beer garden. The staff are friendly, the locals even more so especially the big table for dog lovers. The food is super, this time we only managed to visit twice in the week, Grimsby fresh haddock and chips is an absolute must! As is the smoked haddock and poached eggs on a bed of mashed potato. Hubby had a mixed grill with very generous portions. The landlord is a lovely Irish chap who typically Irish feeds you well. Try not to eat breakfast and have a wee cracker or a biscuit for lunch. Or take a doggie bag. My own dog had a fish supper from my leftovers.

Excellent all round - pleasant staff, good choice of beers and extensive menu. Very tasty meals and reasonably priced. The only thing that would improve it would be moving the pub nearer to where we live 🙂

So glad we we boked a table for Sunday Lunch otherwide we'd have missed out. Even though it was 2.30pm the place was packed. The food was amazing. I had roast lamb. The mash and roast poatoes were already on the plate with plenty of vegetables and gravy to share with our table. Lovely chilled atmosphere with lots of chatter, glass clinking, no blaring music, TV or fruit machines (that we could see). Service was amazing, the girls were so polite and made sure that we had everything we needed. We brought 4 friends for the first time who couldn't fault it. Thanks for a really lovely afternoon, we will most certainly be back!

We went to the Woolpack Inn having had a recomendation from The Beaumont hotel. We found the Woolpack to be quite welcoming and we were served professionally and friendly by Daisy and Alex. Food was good with generous portions for Breakfast 9am till 11am and good quality throughout the day.

What a quaint little pub in Louth, We arrived just after it had opened for Breakfast, the staff was excellent and very friendly. The food is well priced for what we had. I had the full english breakfast and the wife had the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. I found the full english was just the right size in portion but could do with a few more mushrooms. The wife did not think the same to the pancakes, she said that they were dry and did not taste fresh but she did say that the Bacon was the best she has had with any pancakes oh and she also said that more Maple syrup would be helpful Due to the issue with the pancakes we could only give 4 stars

Wasn’t very hungry so opted for the tuna sandwich. Bread very dry and not buttered sufficiently, and not much tuna either. I mentioned the dry bread to the staff, they just said they’d tell the kitchen. I’ve had nicer sandwiches from supermarkets.

Not our first visit to eat at the Woolpack , never disappointed.All our chosen meals were delicious,well presented and plentiful. Waiter service great and friendly. If we had to make a small comment it would be that the Resturant was quite cold . Will definitely be eating there again. Can thoroughly recommend.

One of the nicest breakfasts I’ve ever had. I am gluten free and the service was amazing. It is often hard to get gluten free full English breakfasts so it was a real treat to have one and especially one that was so nice. The food was absolutely delicious cleared my plate! Very nice place. Amazing that dogs are also welcome. 5*

What an excellent experience. Me and my partner came for a romantic meal. We had a lovely corner table and drinks served by an attentive bar man. Starters came promptly with the correct cutlery. The mains were suitably portioned and the bar man checked that the food was to the right standard- which it absolutely was. What really made the meal was the malt vinegar. Just that extra special touch! Definitely will come again as we are local and visit all the time.

After calling in advance to book a table we arrived to them clearly not booking our table as asked, and then seated us in a dingy corner very close to other people so conversations where heard very clearly by all. We ordered a starter and main each. Well generally when someone orders soup you get a spoon on the plate after the soup was placed at the table the I am guessing bar manager went oh I need to go get a spoon! Obviously… The starters cleared away without a word being said to us. At this point my partner went outside for a cigarette being promptly followed by said manager who watched and waited till he came back in. WHY??? The mains came and were nothing to write home about which is a shame because every other time we have been the food and service has always been excellent. It is very clearly a regulars only matter to us place even though we have been a fair few times. I say this because all the tables round us got several check backs. We didn’t get a single one until the end of our meal when the owner who had spoken to other tables next to us decided to check if everything was ok! Bit late don’t you think. My partner advised that one of the condiments wasn’t right and said seemed to be watered down vinegar. The owner then advised that he would take it to the kitchen to be checked?? He then came back and took the top of shoving this bottle under my partners nose saying smell it! Apparently malt vinegar isn’t as strong as white vinegar, why would we put white vinegar on our food when you provide malt vinegar anyway?? Needless to say unless you go all the time you’re made to feel unwelcome. There was only one member of staff that actually acknowledged us being a young man behind the bar I understand to be called Alex who was very friendly and chatty to the regulars. Again regulars. Not everyone can afford to go out all the time so when we do it’s a special treat for us. Wish we hadn’t bothered!

Fabulous food,large portions, excellent menu, excellent deserts, friendly staff,good prices. We went twice in 3 days, says it all really.

As a party of four we visited the woolpack for a casual lunchtime midweek meal. I was surprised how busy it was but after eating my meal I can see why. The staff were warm and welcoming and the food was wholesome and served hot. The atmosphere was pleasant as a food pub should be. The added bonus is they serve the local Lincolnshire Batemans beer.

We went for Sunday lunch, I had beef and my husband had lamb. Excellent food for both of us. Will be going again soon . Staff very attentive and polite, and very friendly

We went for a family meal, good service, nice atmosphere. Be warned big portions, good quality food. Reasonable prices. Very enjoyable.

We booked a table for 27 with more kids than adults. The entire team were amazing. Making sure the kids got fed quickly and being super attentive to serving drinks at the table. When it came to paying they had no issues with letting each family pay their bill. Food was fresh and tasty and plentiful. Just sorry we couldn’t stay for dessert but the rugby was calling. Thanks so much. Highly recommended.

Went for lunch today wow excellent food best I’ve had we shall be going back again very soon congratulations to the people who do the cooking brilliant x

Called into here for lunch whilst visiting family. We stayed in cleethorpes but travelled to louth to meet up with family. Weather was rather wet so decided to grab some lunch. Very welcoming feel to the place. Promptly served drinks and sat down to dine. Food was amazing, fresh and piping hot. Service was excellent. Will definitely be returning when next visiting family.

We booked a table here in advance. We specified very clearly that we were bringing 3 dogs with us and asked for a table in the dog friendly part. Food was very nice, and the service was good too. The staff were very friendly. I do however think that there are improvements that could be made to make them more welcoming for people with dogs. We would have liked the option of a water bowl for our dogs. I also found that some of the other people there resented our dogs being there. One person suggested that I should “give my dog a kick in the teeth as that might shut them up”. I don’t think any of the staff heard that comment and I never mentioned it as I didn’t want to cause problems for the staff. Maybe they should warn people that where they are about to be seated is near dogs, or perhaps have a section for people with dogs. We did enjoy the food here but I don’t think we will be coming back, I think we will find somewhere that is better for dogs next time.

Staying Salfleet,no eateries cook on mon/Tues night, advised to go to louth, googled few pubs & this came the best. Wasn't disappointed, friendly welcome by lovely young bar staff, nothing too much trouble. Very generous helping of pate followed by Tikka curry, quality chicken in tasty sauce. .....oh with a free bottled beer!! Invited to quiz night weds plus said they do a cracking Sunday roast 🤭..... completed the night by a suprise piece of cheesecake & lit candle......so nice of them. Yes would revisit. Highly recommend. Was also pretty busy at 7.30 pm when I entered.

Visited on Tuesday night and despite being quite busy we were found a table by the bartender who looked after us very well. The food and service were both excellent and would recommend the homemade lasagne

Polite staff and a lovely beer garden to sit in. Lots of good beer choice and lovely food being served

Customer service was poor to say the least from the older women with black glasses. Will not be returning. Very disappointed

Another fabulous meal at the Woolpack. This is a great pub, not just excellent food, but always a good choice of beer available. The staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it. Hard to beat!

Super environment. Clean and spacious laid out dining room. Outstanding staff. Friendly and efficient. The food was plentiful, good sized portions. Whitebait lovely, well cooked and presented. Hunters Chicken was brilliant. Tasty and hot! All overseen by a very able landlord.

Food was delicious and chef accommodating about specific requests. Menu featured lots of delights and was difficult to choose. We had the garlic chicken and the Halloumi burger ( which was huge!) Bar area was comfortable and dog friendly and there is also a well...

I've just been charged £4.80 for two halfs of shandy. I know prices have gone up but this is ridiculous profiteering.

Overall we really enjoyed our visit. Menu and food were definitely much better than average pub fare. Staff were really attentive, friendly and helpful. Beer was well kept and tasted great. Perhaps only note of concern on a cold night was that the cheery warm...

Lovely friendly pub, with great food. We were staying down the road from this pub and decided to go there for our evening meal. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, great portion size. It was quiz night on the Wednesday too, which was really enjoyable.

Beautiful Sunday lunch, loads of meat. Excellent service. Only downside was they had run out of some meats, but it was a late lunch; a very popular and busy restaurant.

We visited recently for a family meal to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday. I had Hunters Chicken which came with a small salad on the side. Whilst eating my salad I found what can only be described as a small, sharp stone amongst my green...

Visited here with friends while away. Amazing staff & great food. Pudding was that good, asked to take a boxed one away, the owner was very accommodating even though the kitchen had closed. Shame this pub is so far away from where we live 😥...

We we’re taken there by friends, it wasn’t our choice. The food was excellent. I’m just not a fan of eating between drinkers. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Went for lunch here after swimming and food was lovely, all kids demolished all their food and variety of vegan and vegetarian options. Staff were very attentive and friendly and food was Served pretty fast. Lovely outdoor beer garden with little play area for kids....

A lovely man in a floral shirt served us. Madri was delicious then the food came I had a burger it defeated me and it was lovely! Waitress was good too all smiles and chatty. Would recommend a visit 👌

Have eaten here several times and always thoroughly enjoyed everything. Food is good quality, freshly cooked and the puddings are absolutely delicious. Efficient and friendly staff.

We called up asking for a table of 2 was told they had stopped serving until 3.30pm but said the could still accommodate us I'm glad they could 10 out of 10 for the food and service the landlord even came and table checked us...

My wife and I Went for Sunday lunch.... I ordered gammon and sorry to say it came swimming in gravy.... I have never had gravy on gammon before.... And have to say.. It did spoil the meal for me... Veg and potatoes mediocre... Nothing special......

Lovely atmosphere tasty food but the service exceptional for pub the girls friendly and non stop going around the table for the service we had Camembert cheese for starter snd fish and chips all was delicious and tasty. I can’t explain a lot must try.

The bar staff made every attempt not to engage in me and my sister while waiting by the bar. The owner even looked past us and served the people behind us. Very rude and we decided to just leave.

My family and I went to the woolpack for dinner on Saturday lunch time and it was fantastic, we will 1000% be back. The pork stroganoff was spot on & the cheesecake was delicious. Very attentive serving staff and the new decor is lovely. We...

No return for us whatsoever. Worse pub meal ever. Starter of prawns and chorizo swimming in red water was terrible. The steak and guiness pie was incredibly salty that it spoiled the rest of the meal. Mozzarella chicken; well it was the worse! It was...

Very enjoyable lunchtime snack at the Woolpack (toasted brisket and horseradish sandwich). Nice ambience, pleasant service, and a fantastic range of Batemans Ales.

Lively pub with great food, very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The fish and chips were amazing and very reasonably priced.

Fantastic place to visit, dog friendly and a very welcoming friendly atmosphere. We visited this place on Sunday and had one of their Sunday roasts which tasted excellent. There was plenty of meat and vegetables. The Yorkshire pudding was to die for. We could barely...

Visiting the area for a week. Second visit to The Woolpack. Delicious food and super friendly welcome for 2 and 4 legged alike. You won't be disappointed

We rang at 2.30 on a Sunday, with the sound of a busy pub in the background, looking for a Sunday roast. They said they could accommodate us and by the time we arrived 30 minutes later there was a table ready and waiting. We...

Came in to the Woolpack today, very welcoming, friendly, nothing too much trouble. Meals were delicious. Highly recommend! Will be visiting again.

Enjoyed a lovely meal of homemade fish cakes. They were delicious. Food was served really quickly and was piping hot. Delicious and very reasonable. Attentive and friendly staff.

We received a great welcome as soon as we arrived for our 1st visit accompanied by our dog. The whole place was clean and well presented. We hadn’t known exactly what to expect on a mid week October lunchtime visit and wouldn’t have been surprised...

What a wonderful Sunday lunch!! We rang and they were really busy but managed to fit us in.. and I'm so glad they did! It's well worth a visit..we will be back

We found this venue whilst on holiday returning back to Saltfleet. The staff were friendly and courteous. My wife had the smoked Haddock and I had the fishcakes. With only a short wait before our meals arrived, although a tad on the pricey side, we found them both to be excellent quality and well worth that little extra expense. Well worth a visit. We will return if we're in the vicinity.

Dined here before going to the theatre. Absolute hidden gem! Great selection of ales to keep the hubby happy. Food was outstanding. Huge portions - none of us could eat it all and we love our food! We had a Stonebaked pizza, mixed grill and smoked haddock dish. All cooked to perfection, so tasty and piping hot. Delicious. Staff take pride in what they are serving and checked with us 3 times that we were happy with our meal. Lovely atmosphere Look forward to returning soon. Wish all Restaurants were like this one!

We visited this very nice pub twice whilst staying in Louth, the first time we just had a beer and a glass of wine, the second time we met friends for lunch, the food was outstanding and lots of it. The staff are very friendly and we would definitely visit again.

Saw this pub online thought we would try it and found a gem lovely food nice selection on menu staff and landlord helpful and friendly.

My wife and I have been to the Woolpack on many occasions and up until the last couple of visits we have always rated the food and service very highly. Unfortunately on the last couple of occasions both the service and the food quality have not been up to the standard we normally get. The first instance was early July when we went mid-week in the afternoon so nor busy by any stretch of the imagination. Yet the service was poor, we ordered 4 basket meals and only 3 arrived and when I asked where the 4th meal was I just got a blank look from the young waitress. Eventually they realised their error and rushed through a pannini which arrived burnt and also not with the filling we had ordered. The next occasion was August when my wife went out with some if her work colleagues and the same thing happened again. So after that we were reluctant to carry on going, however we succumbed and went a 3rd time in early September. We booked a 6.30 table and arrived at 6.15 ordered drinks then took a few minutes to choose our meals. On returning to the bar to order I was then informed that they weren't taking orders for food. After pointing out that we had specifically booked a table to eat the waitress relented and accepted our order. Disappointingly it took nearly 45 minutes to arrive, no sign of an apology for the delay we both had the Woolpack Burger which arrived on burnt, dry buns. After persevering for a bit we both gave in and left a large amount of uneaten bun and burger. When I went to pay I was asked if everything had been OK, to which I said unfortunately it was not. In fairness to the waitress she did apologise but there was not a great deal of sincerity and no offer of a reduction on the bill. So all in all not a very food performance and needless to say we will not be visiting again.

Lovely family friendly pub, the staff and landlord went over and above to accommodate our families allergies, the food was beautiful and staff very friendly would highly recommend.

I have visited for many years and as a local person I have to say that for me the Woolpack is as good as it gets in Louth at the moment. The staff and landlord are very friendly. Keep up the good work.

A hidden gem of a traditional pub off the beaten track in Louth's canal district. Great selection of local ales from Batemans, fabulous food, and sparkling hospitality. Well worth the visit, we loved this beautiful, friendly little pub.
