Woolpack in Norwich

Went in while girls went shopping played darts had food when they came back and watched football and darts on different screens which was put on at request so we could see both will def be going back on more weekends

Came here last Sunday from Nottingham to see my daughter who's at the University there and had a Sunday lunch. The staff and the service was spot on. The Sunday dinner was also very good , although the veg wasn't to my liking (I like mine boiled to a inch of their life) my wife and daughter loved them and the rest was spot on and the beef was cooked to perfection. We will definitely go again 👍

Pint of John smiths over £2 dearer than next pub 50 yards away...WONT BE RETURNING.

Sat at a table to watch the midday footy and to have some food but unfortunately didn’t bother having food as it took over 45 mins to clear the table of the last people’s plates, cups and glasses, when they did the tables were left uncleaned 🤷🏻‍♂️ disgusting. If the cleanliness is like that in the public area god knows what the kitchen is like. Staff were unresponsive and miserable. Sorry for the rant but has to be the worst Greenking pub I have ever visited.

Staff are brilliant and very helpful.

TVs too loud couldn't have a conversation True. No need for it.

Becks was a great host food was fantastic. They catered to my allergy very well. Highly recommend all staff friendly and approachable

Lovely fresh food, time taken to ensure allergies are checked and food is prepared separately from other items. Thanks to becks for the great service would definitely recommend.

Regular customer here and always greeted with a friendly face. Wide range of beers and pub food is of a good quality. The staff are always nice, on this particular occasion I was served by Shannon who was helpful and efficient. Good atmosphere and service, will keep on coming here.

Stopped in here for dinner yesterday based on TA reviews. Wasn’t disappointed. Pub grub, yes,but it was good. We both had the scampi and chips. Delicious. Great service from Cali.

They still do the Mac n Cheese, which is great, big fan of that. I had it again yesterday-October 14th. Great Alcohol selection as always, we had Prosecco little bottles again. Food & Drinks all at a reasonable price plus Staff are still lovely & kind. Also its our fave pub, nice & cosy inside. Been here many times, and still my fave pub.

Splendid pub especially cosy in the winter

Great atmosphere, excellent service. Slight issue with the food that was quickly rectified. Would visit again.

First visit, welcoming staff and ambience. Food was nice and would definitely go again.

My wife and I really enjoyed the Woolpack Inn on a busy Friday evening. We found the locals friendly and the staff attentive. Living in Norwich we havent visited before but we will be back. Many thanks The Woolpack!

First visit has a decent steak service good will go back as we are only visiting Norwich

Really enjoyable meal made all the better by the manager Josh who went out of his way to look after us. Will happily return when next in the area.

Visited on a Monday evening and had a really lovely meal Great prices and nice stuff, would recommend for a quick, well priced meal! £3 to park, but you get that off your bill at the bar which is good too.

Had a lovely roast dinner served to me by friendly and cheerful barlady named CJ, would definitely recommend popping in as the atmosphere and service is friendly and vibrant

Food was good. Seemed a bit short staffed. There only appeared to be one guy serving at the bar, taking orders, clearing tables, and delivering food to the tables. He was friendly and professional even though he seemed to be doing everything.

The interior is more attractive and pleasant than the exterior. Prices are affordable, service is fast and courteous. The chicken breast menu with fries and salad was nice.

Great place to come and eat with either friends or family.

amazing evening with friends food.drinks..karioke quiz all wae very gd must not forget to mention all the staff who were all very good at what they were doing amazing night we will be back a lot, just a good pub

Always have a pleasurable experience at the Woolpack inn ! Food is always full of flavour and never cold, big selection on drinks, staff are always so lovely to chat to. Amazing. Will be back again.

The pub is friendly & pet friendly the staff r polite & friendly especially matty & I haven't had any problems with services & the food is always hot when it comes out & it's always clean in the toilets & in the bar

Came in for lunch with my children and the food was perfect! Children had the kids meal deals and I ordered from the lunch club. Service was also great! Couldn’t fault anyone from the woolpack! Place is clean and tidy! Also have lots of deals on the menu for food and drink also!

Love this pub mainly for the fact you get a discount on food & drink with your car park ticket! As chain pubs go, this is one of the better ones, the food is decent & reasonably priced, staff are really lovely and there's plenty of seating inside and out. Sports lovers dream as TVs in all areas (incl outside) often showing diff sports (horse racing) Great pub, I frequent it waaaaaay top often!

Service at the bar is a joke, forcing people to queue when it gets busy. Do they know Covid is over??? For a “sports bar” don’t seem to know how to get the sport on.

Came here for a birthday meal and had a really nice time. The food was all delicious and prices were as to be expected nowadays. Service was very friendly and prompt, and the pub itself is well kept and comfortable. Will definitely be returning at some point! :)

Very welcoming, great customer care. Good value meals. This is a dog friendly pub and has a great atmosphere. They have used artificial flowers which gives it a lovely summer vibe.

Always great service, great food and a great atmosphere. Especially when there is a big game on or an event. Staff all work so hard.

Really friendly staff and good offer for students :)

Came to the Woolpack Inn on Saturday 27th July. Had a lovely conversation with CJ. Nice to see an american working in a Uk pub! She was an absolute delight to talk to. An asset to the Woolpack Inn. The other two ladies in the bar were nice too. Kiera and Bex. Heard them having a laugh behind the bar, definitely a friendly environment. I would come again and maybe try some food next time!

We came here for a stag do and the staff were well receiving of us. Service was prompt at the bar and on the app and the food was very nice (I recommend the Katsu loaded fries). We would definitely come here again.

Friendly staff, nice selection of drinks and seating outside

We came in for the England games, and what an awesome experience we had. The atmosphere was amazing. We hadn't booked, but got in early enough to nab a free table and were glad we did, it was so busy. Hats off to the team working, they did not stop for hours. There was a bit of a wait to get to the bar, but that was expected considering how busy it was.

Banging breakfast and pint. Amazing staff (special mention to Sian for her outstanding service today)

The 2 stars go to the nice atmosphere and the friendly lady behind the bar! If you want to eat, go somewhere else!! I came here because of the good references and ordered a salt & pepper chilli chicken. What I got were baked chicken strips and chips which looked as if they'd come straight out of the freezer. There were a few cold pepper strips on top - but no onions, no herb garnish and definitly no spices or chili. The curry sauce tasted nothing like curry. It was just a brown mush with a thick skin on top. And the sauce bottles at my table and the next one were nearly empty... There was some scent though as the table smelled of spilled beer. Sorry guys - this place really deserves better!

A sports pub with plenty of TVs in all directions. Very popular pub

Had a great meal had the hot honey burger which was delicious, the atmosphere for the England game was immense . Will be returning for the next game , the management despite being busy and staff were great .

Came in this afternoon for a bite to eat. Food was very tasty, staff were very friendly. Will definitely come again.

The big breakfast at £9.99 is excellent value for money served by very friendly staff a great start to the day it was absolutely delicious

very welcoming, took our group in and were very accepting, thank you so much!! we went out for drinks after work and accepted us, even when we sang songs too loud, thank you!! ❤️

This is the second time that I have been here and I can't say enough about it. It's got a great atmosphere, great customer service and great food. I shall be visiting more often.

A lovely lunch even better it was buy 2 get one free ideal when there's 2 of you. Helpful Happy staff, we'll definitely be returning

Ordered a bowl of chips - tasty, but expensive for the small amount given. Good choice of drinks, but it was karaoke night and the clientele was loud, obnoxious, rude and not the type of people I feel comfortable around

Nice place to have a drink, nice atmosphere

One of my go to's with colleagues after work. You get exactly what you expect, love it.

Often meet friends for lunch there, we normally have a senior menu + wine, Food very good as is the service & staff are so helpful, especially Michaela on Friday. Keep up the good work

Great service even when it was very busy . Will be back.

Good selection of beers and great value for money food. Furniture could do with some restoration or replacing but this is a pub I visit often.

Food quality could be better.. portion size was good.... friendly staff and good service

I popped in here on a few occasions during a recent stay in Norwich … Good pub … Good service …. Good beer and quite a large selection to choose from also … Sky and BT sports on TV …. I would definitely come back here again when I’m next in Norwich …..

Had the new chicken flatbread, it was well presented and full of flavour and was nice to have something a bit different for lunch

A very welcoming pub.. a good atmosphere. The food was excellent, especially the beef and chicken burgers , quite simply the best we've eaten.. you must try them...

Food not very tasty. Googled parking before going, free parking supposedly. Had to purchase a ticket for £3. Would not refund after ordering my food and drink. Wont be going back to Greene king.

I absolutely love coming to the Woolpack Inn and whenever I have family visiting from abroad this is always the first place I bring them especially for the Sunday Roast! Today I brought my sister to try out the turkey and beef duo and she loved it! It came nice and hot from the kitchen! I’ve been coming to the Woolpack for years now and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming! Would recommend it to anyone!

Outstanding food in a very busy city centre pub. Open for breakfast and all day for food and drinks. Plenty of screens for the sport fans. Car park is very small but plenty of other options are not too far away. Staff are welcoming and the facilities are clean. A short walk from the shops and visitor attractions.

Nice vibe. Food tasty. Staff helpful. What more can you ask for?! Had the sharing deals and a bottle of wine. Good value!

Really good place to be great atmosphere

Great place to eat and drink and have banter with friends Great atmosphere and staff good prices and menu well done

Regulars in here but I was a bit dissapointed with my fish and chips yesterday..... fish was quite small and the peas were gritty......🤮. Better in spoons. Pls do better as we like the woolly

Best pub we found in norwich good food excellent pub for sport karaoke and very friendly had a great time there whilst on holiday

Good pub, has a good choice of drinks with a good menu and added bonus of Sky Sports and TNT. Always friendly staff.

We love this pub!! Always our first choice for great food and drink, excellent sservice and fab staff!

An excellent pub with really good service. The staff always have a smile and nothing is too much. An ideal place to watch any sport. Would highly recommend The Woolpack.

My lasagne was nothing like in photo dry and horrible

Enjoyed playing darts and eating here, the only let down which I will say is quite a significant one is the parking situation. The first two times I did not spot the signs as they are not clear and obvious, despite the owner insisting there is lots of signs (which there is to be fair) most people in the reviews including myself did not notice them. Nor did any of the people I took to the pub. In all honesty from what I can see is damaging your reputation, please move the meter to the front of the car park with a sign saying pay and display above so it is obvious. I am now awaiting two tickets which will need to be rescinded. I will still continue to use the pub as they do offer £3 off the parking which isn’t enough sometimes as I like playing darts for a while and now I know the parking situation and understand its reasons have no problem with it other than it not being clear and obvious despite the many attempts at making it such.

Welcome to Norwich, saie the sign outside. Nice and clean inside. Comfortable bench, table. Trying the steak. Rump.

Good honest English pub exerlent service good was great helpful staff felt welcome in there enjoyed our meal and experience

Went to watch the rugby. Not a hood decision.

Great pub! Come here often to drink and catch up with friends. Emilly and Josh are very friendly and cheerful. Lovely service and great selection of drinks. Highly recommend :)

Really good food at a reasonable price. Clean and tidy surroundings. Friendly staff.

Friendly staff and good service

Updating this review, it's a regular for Aviva and a staple. Great atmosphere and fast service! Food had certainly improved too

Brilliant pub. Good,tasty and cheap food. Jolly bar staff and attentive table service. Well done girls, I can see why this pub is busy at lunchtimes -you deserve to be - excellent. Good chice of beers, too.

Worth a try, food prices reasonable, lots of space

Car parking in city centre a very large plus

Great venue, friendly staff, definitely going again

For visit for a while used to be a regular haunt back in the 80s. Lovely old norwich pub glad to see that it's still going strong and very busy great selection of drinks and a good atmosphere 👍

I had a Scotch Egg and the Turkey and ham pie. Both were tasty. The pie's top crust was not burnt but still extremely hard. It was difficult to break through even with a knife. Staff were friendly, though I waited at least five minutes (menu down) for someone to come take my order, even though there were 3 wait staff within 4 meters of my table.

I came here to celebrate my daughters 18th, The staff was so polite and catering, I just wish the pubs back home were as lovely. Thank you for a memorable celebration 🎁🎉

Just popped in and we all had the Sunday Roast beef/turkey duo, delicious! Succulent Turkey, tasty roasters, cauliflower cheese, gravy, Yorkshire, carrots and peas, a good sized dinner, good value £13.29. Great service and a very nice, decorative pub, lovely atmosphere.

We hired the whole pub for a private function (Christmas party). Really good service, food selection was excellent with a variety of hot and cold. Will be booking again for next year

Hello, I would just like to say what excellent food I had on Friday evening, and exceptional service by a very cheerful and helpful young lady. I think her name was Michaela.

Pub itself is nice and welcoming, but the situation they've gotten themselves into regarding their car park is horrendous. Britannia Parking seems determined to make it as difficult as possible to spot that it is in fact a pay and display (poor signage, hidden meter) and I, like many reviewers, fell into their trap. I certainly won't be returning - there are plenty of options where parking isn't so convoluted.

I've always enjoyed coming to the woolpack for drinks. The staff are always so welcoming especially Michaela who greeted us with a smile and was happy to help. Made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

One of the best places I’ve been in for a long while, food is very delicious and the staff couldn’t be more helpful and kind, Amazing atmosphere definitely will become my regular go to when wanting food drink and a good time.

Lovely lunchtime meal friendly staff good service

Not too bad at all! I visited mid (Tuesday) week so a relatively quiet place, that said there was live sport on and a good mix of people. I had food, (mixed grill) which was good value and cooked well. Bar staff friendly too 👌🏼

I used to go and with the way Norwich parking was it was great I could go eat have a drink and park my car and come back have another drink and bite to eat before leaving. However went there yesterday and now you can no longer register your car at the counter as customer ... so from now on I will not be going there as parking is too high and onto of that you need to pay cash. The guy on counter was like no we don't do that even though I knew you did. Then took the board of the shelf... well one less customer and roughly 25 pound in your till instead ill pay it for parking take care

Good food, excellent service, a lovely atmosphere, reasonably priced as well. Has it's own carpark and is wheelchair friendly.

We'd booked a table here but when we turned up there was a massive noisy retirement party going on and our table was right in the middle. We ordered a bottle of wine first on the app but 20 minutes later it still hadn't arrived so I went up to the bar to ask. A rather testy bar operative didn't apologize but said they were 'going to do it next'. We also ordered food on the app and that came quickly. Our two burgers were quite good but my fellow diner's brioche roll was burnt. We may try it again on a quieter day but we didn't particularly enjoy the experience this time, sorry.

Not just your usual run-of-the-mill wetherspoons/greene king experience. The pub is spacious with covered outdoor seating. I went with a group of 5 and it came to £10 each which is an incredibly fair price for the food. I had the katsu curry which was of a really high quality and my partner got a steak which cost £10.

Watched the RWC final in here on a rainy Saturday night. The place was full of Kiwis and Saffers. Great atmosphere. Had to wait a bit for drinks but was to be expected.

Very quiet in here , plenty of staff about and my meal came quickly , not the cheapest pub to eat and my dirty plate wasn't taken away

Had a lovely lunch. Dog friendly pub. Great staff.

Great staff, warm welcome and good table service. Dog made very welcome too. Good range of house and guest cask ales in very good condition. Nice layout with a variety of seating types but some upholstery and furniture a bit tired and grubby. Burger and fries pretty decent. Sunday roast beef unfortunately not good on our visit. For a drink I'll look forward to visiting again but possibly not for food.

Good menu with a good selection of drinks and a good place to relax and watch the sports

Great pub, always a good atmosphere and show all sports. Service is always top notch
