The Woolpack Inn

Lovely country pub with courtyard rooms. Comfortable and quiet.

As ever a good overnight stop for Northington Grange Opera

One night stopover the restaurant was comfortable, the staff were attentive, friendly and efficient and the food was glorious best pappardelle I’ve tasted and that’s saying something the breakfast in the morning was also very good with high quality tasty ingredients and the coffee was also very good ! We wish we could say the same for room but unfortunately small and the green light above door which we appreciate is a safety requirement kept us awake most of the night, the bathroom was also tiny and in need of updating and a good thorough clean, the shower was very temperamental and didn’t really get that hot! There was also several dark marks on the white bedding which looked like hair colour etc this was a shame because it let down the excellent food and staff experience!

We stayed here for our wedding night and it was just beautiful, the staff incredibly friendly and the food was superb! Couldn’t fault it at all! We’d like to come back each anniversary it was that special and lovely. Thankyou to all at the Woolpack Inn x

We rented a property nearby for a week, we are a family of 10 adults and 4 children. We booked Sunday lunch here as a Father’s Day treat. We were disappointed. The prices are high and the choice limited. We skipped the starter and chose main meal and dessert to make it more cost effective. The 10 main meals + 3 childrens meals were ordered in advance. On arrival the beef looked delicious, however the two slices I had were very fatty so sadly not much meat, and the small amount of gravy on the plate was soon gone making the rest of the meal quite dry. Sadly, although the meal looked good quality, I didn’t enjoy it. Ordering the desserts we were told that as we were a large group it would be difficult if we all made different choices indeed the waitress needed to ask someone with authority if my husband could have a sorbet which was on the menu . I chose Strawberries and cream, I kid you not, It was two circles of pastry, a teaspoon of cream, and one, yes one! Strawberry cut into quarters with a dollop of ice cream….£10 If it hadn’t been the beginning of our holiday I wouldn’t have paid! Not overly impressed!

We enjoyed the Woolpack with very nice staff and great location / ambiance but poor menu selection and it was expensive. I had the egg & aspargus starter which was tasty but two small spears cut in half = two mouthfuls for £12 - ridiculous (note to chef go to Waitrose where 12+ spears from worchestershire are 2.50 !) Sandwiches somewhat sparse filling at 12 for chicken club and 14 for beef ciabatta ! We are not in London or Paris and we left feeling ripped off and hungry ………….

Very very poor. We stayed 2 nights in Woodcock room. It had the most awful smell of dampness owing to lack of ventilation- one small window. There was no information about breakfast, timings etc or facilities available. There was a percolator in the room but no coffee. When we asked for some we were told only tea was supplied for the room. On asking someone else next day they gave us a bag of ground coffee and said it should have been delivered. On our second day we returned late in the day to find the room had not been cleaned, no beds made, no new towels, no bins emptied and only the used cup turned back over and 2 new bottles of water. When we complained new towels were delivered. If we were not on a business trip and committed to a schedule we would have walked out after the first night. When we complained in the morning we couldn’t get into the pub until 8.15 and were told there were no managers in until midday. We were told our complaints would be passed on. We couldn’t wait as we had to return home early and would ideally have left at 7 had the pub been open earlier. We have tried sending emails which bounce back and making calls which go unanswered. No one has as yet 5 days later responded to us. The whole experience was appalling and even though it was a cheaper classic room it should never have been occupied. My clothes still smell damp. The room was tiny too. A pleasant pub but one that in our case emphasised their focus on food to the detriment of the accommodation which was way below par. They were unable to issue a VAT receipt for our stay. Although I have seen reviews that were outstanding I can’t replicate that at all and Woodcock room should be avoided!

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.
