I do not know where ,, dorset diner ,, is comeing fom ? I eat at the Woolpack all the time , ,, If he had read the menu , he would know , that cod and chips comes in news paper as always and haddock is not in news paper, I think to compare the food at the woolpack with the Horns is crossing the line , have a look at other comments ?, I think every one should try places and make there own mind up ,and not take any notice of a person who cant even read a menu . to have so many compaints from one visit seems very strange sounds like an alternative agenda !!

Not my first visit to the Woolpack Inn, but very probably my last after the awful lunch we had today. The"Famous" cod and chips wrapped in newspaper arrived as haddock and chips, not a newspaper in sight. The steak and Ale pie was dry and tasteless - plenty of meat but dried onto the plate with almost no gravy. The apple and raspberry crumble tasted like the crumble had been swept up from the floor and the dainty jug of custard was a mix of yellow fluid and lumps, clearly instant custard! I think they need to teach their kitchen staff how to serve and prepare food, and how to read the label on the jar of instant custard for future reference! Altogether a very disappointing meal. What should have been a nice family occasion to celebrate a birthday was spoilt due to lack of attention from the Kitchen of the Woolpack Inn at Sopley.

Stopped by during the bank holiday to kill some time away from work.

Choosing from the menu took time, as it was enormous. Both the bar and the garden were very busy, but we were still served quickly; and the meals arrived pretty soon as well. When they arrived, we were astonished at just how much food we got – we simply couldn’t eat all of it (though we tried).

Overall, it’s a lovely pub, with quick service. You get a lot for your money, and we’d say it deserves 8½ out of 10.

The Woolpack is the best place for dining, the food is fantastic , and the conservatory over looking the river is great, I can recomend the roast beef on sunday lunch , well worth a visit ,

What has happened to this place? We went for Sunday lunch on the 20th after having some good food here in the past. The mussel shells were broken so every other mouthful of sauce we had had bits of shell in. I had the steak and mushroom pie; I use the word pie loosely! It was flavorless slop put on a plate with a stale puff disc on top. The Roast potatoes were cannonballs and very over cooked veg. All our food was of same poor quality but, and there is a but! My wife did enjoy her smoked chicken ploughman’s lunch but how hard is it to put a bit of salad and cheese on a plate?! The service was poor; it would be nice if the staff cracked a smile. This place has gone downhill, what happened?
