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!

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 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.

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.

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.

Myself and my partner brought my Mum and Dad for a Sunday lunch. To say it was the best we have had is an understatement! The beef falls apart in your mouth, the veg was beautifully fresh and wonderful home made Yorkshire Pudding. The pub is also dog friendly which is ideal as you can bring the whole family. You never leave on an empty stomach. We will be back.

This place was recommended by the manager of My Fathers Moustache because the chef/ wife was not very well & food was not being served there. thank you, my wife had a panini tuna sandwich & I had pulled beef ciabatta , both very good, well worth the money. Staff very pleasant & polite, would visit again when in the area, thank you

My husband and I had a meal at this pub restaurant last night and were absolutely delighted with it. We had been there before but not for a long time. We shared a starter of cheese stuffed mushrooms which was delicious and then we both had haddock and chips. The pieces of fish were massive, more than I could eat, the freshest fish I have ever had in a restaurant. The chips were homemade and not too many. My only complaint was that the peas were a bit like cannonballs but I can live with that. Total perfection would be if they used petit pois. The whole meal was nice and hot and the wine was well chilled. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. If we wanted something there was someone fetching it for us within minutes, unlike a couple of other places we have been too since lock down eased. All this and at a very reasonable price. What more could you want?

We were staying at a caravan park in the area and fancied somewhere to eat out with the family. The trip advisor reviews tempted us to try the Woolpack Inn.The menu is varied and the food and service was excellent. The only minus point was that we didn’t have room for the lovely looking deserts that were being carried past our table!

Came in on Saturday for an impromptu meal, I was recommended a Pizza, I can honestly say it’s the best Pizza I’ve ever had! Also tried the new buffalo wings with some secret ‘off menu’ homemade blue cheese sauce. Amazing! All washed down with a one of the best pints of Guinness in Louth. Lovely stuff. Staff were very friendly, and attentive. Concise procedures in place to ensure safety and social distancing.DR

A proper little rural pub! I love it in here - sure it’s a little pricier than some of the others - but I can live with that

Booked well in advance for a Sunday Evening meal. People standing at the bar on arrival, no track and trace information taken and condiments left on table.Ordered food promptly but it took over an hour to arrive. The actual food was very good but service poor.Sign at bar advised not to stand at bar and that drink orders would be taken at the table however no one ever came to the table more than once to ask for drink orders. 2 Staff were wearing visors/face masks but the Manager (?) obviously thought he was above that.To top it off people were vaping at the table next to us, not ideal when trying to eat a meal. Shame the pub is let down by poor service and management as the food was actaully quite good.

We visited this pub to celebrate our sons birthday and had booked ahead for dinner.The pub atmosphere was warm friendly and welcoming and they were very conscientious in observing the Covid distancing guidelines.We ordered the Venison and the Crab cakes.The food was excellent tasty and delivered in a quick and efficient manner.The landlord attended the table and checked if we were happy with our meals and was warm and friendly.I would definitely recommend this pub as a place to visit for either a drink or a meal or both!
