The Woolpack Inn

Lovely country inn to stay with an excellent restaurant

Quite possibly the best pub burger I’ve ever had - And the roast follows closely behind! Called last minute today to see if they could squeeze 2 of us in for Sunday lunch and we were welcomed in half an hour later. Really friendly staff, warm and relaxed yet classy vibe and WONDERFUL food. Burger - Chargrilled and juicy patty cooked to perfection with delicious burger sauce. I asked for chunky chips instead of fries which were perfectly crispy and fluffy. Roast - Perfectly cooked lamb, amazing yorkshires and apparantlt ‘the best cauliflower cheese’ my fiancé has tasted. Only slight criticism is there was only 1 slice of meat, which seemed a little short for a £24 roast.

We had a mid-week lunch in the restaurant. It's a very lovely, comfortable, traditional, friendly country pub in the middle of some beautiful countryside. The food was absolutely fine but didn't live up to the two rosettes. My burger and chips were pleasant but unremarkable apart from slightly disappointing meat in the burger.

Booked the Easter weekend at this lovely pub. The staff were so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The rooms are cosy and comfortable. Only suggestion I would make would be to have a little fridge in the room, as they provide fresh milk for the tea and coffee facilities in the room but we had to keep asking for ice buckets to keep the milk cold. The food is exceptional. We had planned to eat in the restaurant on the first night and venture out the second night. But we were so blown away with the quality and service we booked a meal for the second night as well. The breakfast each morning was equally as good. Usually breakfast in hotels is average, but I can honestly say quality was great. Thank you to all the team, you made our stay special. We will definitely be returning.

We had an overall lovely stay mainly due to the friendliness of the staff but it needs to tighten up on a few things. We arrived and were met by the lovely manager (who was great with our toddler) and taken to our room. Room was nice, although smelt of paint, no problem, open the window! We settled in and then found two hair clips from a previous guest attached to the headboard... this didn't inspire a lot of faith in the cleaning regime! More worryingly our toddler then opened the drawer of the bedside cabinet and came out holding two vape pods. I managed to intervene quickly enough to stop them going in her mouth but not ideal. We then went to the bar to watch the rugby which was delightful. Friendly bar staff, friendly locals and England won! Dinner was great, the food was truly exceptional. Service was good although the cheese plate came with three cheeses rather than the four advertised. When I gently pointed this out the fourth cheese appeared... not a big issue but details matter! Breakfast was slightly sub par, we booked the time and it appeared the food had been prepared to be ready on the dot of the start time of the slot. I had bacon and maple syrup pancakes... they had clearly been under a heat lamp and were a bit crispy, not enough maple sauce. Checkout was OK, I had to find a member of staff and then they tried to charge me for the room (I had paid in advance through **********) but we sorted it out amicably after I showed them the receipt. Overall, we'll be back, we had a nice time but a bit of tightening up around the edges is needed!

Excellent breakfast and cozy room.

Great service and main meal but waiting staff non existent thereafter so although we’d have loved a 2nd drink and dessert we were abandoned (don’t know what happened to the efficient waiter who first served us). Was a fav pub but sadly no longer :-(

So quiet and all staff were lovely and friendly and meal and breakfast was amazing best I’ve had for years. Perfect stay and easy drive to watercress illluminations Xmas train and Winchester Xmas market.

The woolpack has a lovely welcoming atmosphere.. The food was excellent.. both evening meal and breakfast where cooked beautifully.. To be perfect they just need to get fine details addressed which was mentioned to the manager .. but they we’re not major issues Overall a lovely stay in a beautiful part of the countryside …
