| First off the beer was fine .... That said although I seldom comment on food I feel I must redress the balance here.. The homemade beef and ale pie which we ordered is of the round individual type .. ours was full of gristle of the kind one usually cuts off the edge of a rump steak......this served with chips, salad and gravy with an overall cheesy aroma .....!!!! £10.50 if this is your bag... I note since the new owners that two of the three reviews are one off postings ... Conclude what you will ... kisstaker - 25 Apr 2011 10:04 |
| We heard the Woolpack was back on the scene a few months ago with a new team of ex pat Australians having opened in October 2010 but we hadn't anticipated such a quick turnaround from the previous incarnations! Lo and behold we dropped by for an inspection last friday night and couldn't even get a table initially, the front room was filled to the oak beams. So we took a couple of half 's of Rother Valley's Boadicea, a delightful drop i might add and assumed our position at the bar in the hope of a table becoming available and soaked up the warmth of the freshly decorated room . Sometimes I find a candle lit atmosphere a tad on the gloomy side but here its just right. 15 minutes later we were sat down menu's in hand on our second half of the Goacher's fine light which took the biscuit for me - smooth with hints of honey, slightly cold but fresh and lively to the palette. As for the food? Well I can report that I'm happy to order steak again in these parts - I'm a simple man, so get the simple things right and I'm yours for life! The thick juicy and tender sirloin slid down with passionate fervor whilst my friend thoroughly enjoyed his pigeon breasts - hopefully they are still on the specials menu when we return next time. We completed the meal with a slice of lemon cheesecake and a bread and butter pudding and a couple of strong coffee's. We met Nick the Chef on his tour around the tables welcoming everyone towards the end of our evening. Turns out 'ex pat Australians' doesn't do our hosts Nick & Wendy justice - for they have run restaurants and hotels on what strikes me as 5 different continents over 35 odd years and my oh my it shows - and apparently this is their first pub!? Think I've just found my favourite rubadub. Welcome to Kent may you never leave! raleighboy - 14 Mar 2011 10:53 |
| I finally plucked up the courage to re-visit this pub now it is under a new tenancy (as of Oct 2010). The price of the beer has returned to normality. It is cheaper than some other local pubs !! The menu is small but very interesting. The beef cheeks are superb and excellent value. I would rate these as worth a visit alone (£12.50). The kids had beautifully cooked fish and chips again very good value. The new tenants Wendy, Nick and their son Luke are very welcoming and have pretty well put every thing that was wrong with the place right. Yes you can now buy normal crisps and nuts along with reasonably priced drinks. What a relief to start the year with a decent local pub again. All we need now is to re-start the Warehorne cricket club.... badgeroftheyard - 31 Dec 2010 15:21 |
| This is our local pub and we have seen it change hands a number of times (too many in the last few years). Tonight we tried it out under the very new owners. Though the place was quiet the welcome was warm. They have redecorated to the benefit of the place lightening it up a lot. The menu is relatively short but very affordable and varied. I had the prawns to start with and steak and ale pie for mains. Both dishes were absolutely lovely, home cooked and obviously used fresh ingredients. My friend had goats cheese salad then the Lamb shank and again food was fresh, delicious and well presented. The portions were generous and the service good. I will most definately go back and look forward to seeing the place fill up again. Can't comment on the drink neither of us are drinkers so we stuck to lemonade and tea! However I have been given it on good authority that the real ales are very good. Well done to the new owners! sunny10 - 17 Nov 2010 21:27 |
| Update - the rumour mill says new management will be in place at the end of September. And I've just noticed that captainelmo can't spell wonderful either... MankyBadger - 26 Aug 2010 08:04 |
