We had our wedding reception at The Woolpack Inn 27/04/2024.

Where do we even begin, no words will be enough to thank and express how amazing our whole experience has been from start to finish, from the rooms, venue, food, drink, all the staff, planning ect.

Darren, Shannon, Darcy, Dan & team, were second to none, and we couldn’t thank them enough for all their amazing support, professionalism, organisation, attention to detail and attentiveness. We had a vision of what we wanted our day to consist of and look like, and they brought it to life and even more than we could ever imagine.

Shannon is absolutely incredible and what she does, and everything we had thought of or asked for, she ensured was done above and beyond. She made the whole entire process seem completely seamless and nothing was ever an issue. Shannon ensured our entire day ran incredibly smoothly, from the welcome drinks, sitting everyone down, speeches, gifts, first dance, cake cutting and into the evening entertainment until the very end. The little touches meant the most, ensuring when we arrived that we had a few drinks ready and put at our table for us, leaving wedding cake in our room so we could enjoy it at the end of the evening, all the little pieces to put on the table places, or additional bits we added ourselves, she took on herself to arrange and sort, so we didn’t have too on the day.

We stayed in the onsite rooms for 2 nights, and I was very impressed with the size, cleanliness, facilities, presentation, the bed was very comfortable and had I had a great nights sleep. Also, great value for money. Would highly recommend staying here and would stay again.

The venue itself was perfect for our day, we had the entire top floor restaurant and patio area. The restaurant itself has recently been decorated too, along with the patio area, which now has festival style lighting. The venue was perfect sized for our wedding, which was 80 day guests and 150 evening guests. The tables were changed so slightly bigger for the event, along with supplying table clothes, napkins ect. The facilities were faultless.

On the day of the wedding, myself and the bridal party got ready in the stables, which is a fantastic space, large stone, light room, which was great for getting ready in, we enjoyed breakfast platters whilst getting ready, which was a perfect start to our day. We had a range of welcome drinks, 3 course meal, and a hog roast in the evening. The amount of compliments we received from our wedding guests was incredible, everyone was so impressed with the food quality, portion size and taste, and lots of guests saying it was the BEST wedding food they’d ever had, and we couldn’t agree more! Being local, we already knew the food was insane, but was lovely to enjoy it on our wedding day. The hog roast was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time!

All the staff are absolutely incredible, from the managers, chefs, bar staff, waiters/waitresses, housekeeping, they were all so friendly, kind and attentive, and we couldn’t thank you guys enough for making our day perfect, no words will be enough!

Overall, for overnight stays, fab pub grub or events, The Woolpack Inn couldn’t be recommended highly enough.

Thank you again!

Booked for dinner and it didn't disappoint. The dining area is upstairs and well laid out. We were offered two menu's and the choices were wide. A large number of desserts as well. I did think though that the desserts would have benefitted with some simple/traditional options, for example I don't like gin so I couldn't have the Eton Mess... Service was good although the food was a little expensive. You get what you pay for.

This venue is close to our home, but for reasons which escape me, we don't frequent the restaurant as often as we could. The food and service have always been excellent when we dine there, so our lack of visits is somewhat of a mystery. Possibly the COVID lock-downs broke the habit of our visits and have never been resumed. I shall endeavor to revert to our old habit of eating there regularly.
