| Time for an update on the Woolly. As ever, excellent for food and a friendly welcome. Lucille & Barry still in evidence on occasion but their son Ben has now taken over the running of the pub. Beer choice and quality has improved greatly over the last couple of years, usually a Tom Woods brew available plus guests rare for the area - a couple of weeks back they had Archers Best. Knocks spots off the local competition. G smardale - 6 Jun 2008 02:18 |
| The Woolpack is a treat. Although not eye-catching from the outside, it’s a lively good pub restaurant for most of the week, it’s quite possibly the best eatery in the area. Eat in the comfortable recent purpose-built restaurant, (need to book at the weekend), or in the bar/lounge where they’ll usually find you a table somewhere. Outside, a roomy beer garden is there for warmer times. There’s a good choice of traditional and more inventive nicely cooked menu items, specials and famously good deserts [my tip – the Lemon meringue pie], and a decently kept pint of Greenking IPA too. Other ales are usually on offer, as well as all the normal branded stuff. The Woolpack also has a melting pot of clientèle (unusual for the area) due in part I'm sure to the fantastic Aussie landlady, Lucille. If you happen to let on that it's your birthday, you'll be subjected to the full “Lucille” treatment - a ritual of standing under hats that ought to have been owned by Lord Sutch, held above you by your nearest & dearest, while Lucille rallies the venue to make noise on your behalf followed by a rendition of happy birthday. All not as frightening as it sounds, - you’ll revel in the attention for a while and she’ll capture the whole thing on photo …for her own amusement I think (and yours). The Woolpack, apart from being everyone's favorite local, is also ideal for a stopover en route perhaps to/from Midlands to Norfolk. Located just off the main A47. hungry_biller - 3 Jun 2008 22:33 |
| The Woolpack is a fabulous pub. Everyone from Lucille and Barry the warmest hosts you are ever likely to meet, to the lovely scottish lady that ensures all our eating utensils are up to scratch, are wonderful. The pub has a freindly open atmosphere and all are made welcome wether it is your first visit or you are the most regular of locals. Special mention has to be made of (in no particular order) Jackie, Irene, Cheryl, Angie (say tractor), Jan, Marky Mark (Lovely all day breakfast if hungover), Gary and Kevin. Also there are 3 especially wonderful Woolpack chicks, Katie, Lucy and Nancy. If you require good food, good beer and a pleasant evening the woolpack has to be the place to go. It is possibily the best pub I have ever frequented, enjoy. jeffpiker - 9 Feb 2005 00:41 |
