| Huge, sprawling pub that caters for everyone. Food, real ale, music and the only place showing the football. Loved it. Would come back. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2qDLAu9 Mappiman - 21 May 2017 09:53 |
| The staff are brilliant - really friendly. The beer tastes good. Sadly everything else lets this pub down. It's been refurbed to be really modern with a giant sports TV which is completely out of place with its location. It was really cold - someone lit the fire but it went out. The food was very tasty but just insufficient - the delicious fish pie with plenty of fish in it came with just a small handful of sugar snap peas. I was expecting more as I had asked if it came with veg - it looked really inadequate on the plate. The tasty burgers were tiny. The caramelised beetroot salad was sadly not caramelised but appeared to be a bit of chopped beetroot out of a packet on top of some lettuce. The pizza was very good though. Couldn't fault the lovely staff but next time I'll go to the Brook House Inn or the Boot Inn down the road as it is worth the walk. Catthedoglover - 18 Nov 2014 13:33 |
| Has now had a re-fit since my last visit and now lacks any kind of atmosphere. It never had much anyway, but the modern look with settees etc seems a little incongruous for a Lakeland inn in my opinion. The beer prices seemed a little steep too considering the prices in the the other pubs in the valley and it's environs. littledrummerboy - 10 Nov 2013 20:39 |
| Visted during the Boot Beer festival - made a slight error of judgement as we were staying in Keswick, decided it didn't seem that far by road and came over the Hardknott pass in atrociously wet weather with the cloudbase down to below the top of the pass, and small rivers running down the gradients. A VERY relieved pair in a breathless Mini Cooper rolled into the Woolpack carpark with a sudden big thirst on...took a while to get served as the place was rammed. Very, very good range of beers on, barstaff were understandably rushed off their feet, but some of the younger staff seemed a little unsure of what they were actually doing - newly hired help by the looks of it.

| On holiday in Eskdale this week, was disappointed to find the Woolpack closed, with no signs of imminent re-opening. Then found that its website has become unavailable since last week. Has it followed the King George IV, a few miles down the road, out of business? lgwgrahams - 20 Mar 2010 11:46 |
