The Woolpack

Went here on a recommendation. I thought it was more of a town pub, couldn't be more wrong. Wonderful building, old floors and bottles, feels very much like a countryside pub. Staff are friendly and polite. The food is wonderful, I had a Philly Beef Cheese steak sandwich, plenty of cheese, beef cooked perfectly and a good quality roll. Cheesy chips are perfect, like chip shop chips! My fiance had belly pork, of course I tried some. Cooked perfectly, the glazed carrots were my personal favourite. Plenty of food, was very happy in the end. Will be back.

One of our favourite pubs. We love the cosy inside seating more, but the outside seating is also great. They have a nice backyard seating too. Friendly staff. We also love the food here. The fish platter and the loaded nachos our favourites. The Scotch eggs, though not with runny yolks, were decent.

£10–20

Popped in with my mum on our way into town, and we were so glad we did! Lots of options on the menu for vegetarians as well as meat eaters. We both chose the Mac 'n Cheese with salad and garlic ciabatta for our lunch, and it was delicious. We both said it was the best Macaroni Cheese we'd ever had! The salad and garlic bread were lovely too, and it was all presented beautifully. The perfect cosy pub to just sit and enjoy the atmosphere - it actually feels like a country pub! Friendly staff too. We will definitely be back.

We went on a Monday and the specials we ordered were created using the Sundays leftovers. In general it was a job well done for not wasting food and we enjoyed the visit as the staff are nice and the building is interesting and clean. We had pork belly with crushed roast potatoes and veg, Philly cheese steak with leftover roast beef, a tasty coleslaw and a side of cheesy chips. The pork crackling was inedible as it was reheated but the rest was still very tasty. We noticed a cute outside pizza hut which served cocktails and pitchers on certain days which looked a nice place to spend an evening. We would return.

A warm welcome here this Mon lunchtime. Good 'unbelievable Jeff' ale and great sauvignon blanc. The belly pork was a real tasty main course from the specials board. Our dog enjoyed the attention... Especially the sausage. A most hospitable establishment, many thanks.

Great food and location. Staff are always supper friendly. I would recommend the home made scotch eggs. After excellent food you can take a walk round the near by Christchurch Park.

Nice pub by the park with some of the best cheesy chips you can find :-) Reasonable priced wine with more expensive options if you want them. Great place to stop for lunch especially if you have a dog.

Good pub, ideal if you take the correct exit out of Christchurch Park. Nice outside space despite having traffic run either side of it, doesn't seem to spoil it at all.
