The Woolpack, Sopley

I went there to have lunch on new years eve for my son's 17th birthday. The pub was not busy. There were five of us. 2 of our starters (breaded mushrooms and Deep fried camembert) were on the cool side of luke warm. The soup was good. My Steak and Murphy's pie filling was luke warm with a film over the top where it had cooled. A very pale, dry, puff pastry lid sat on what can only be described as congealed beef stroganoff, spread out on a plate. This should not be described as a pie. The chips lacked potato filling. My daughter had haddock and chips. Haddock was very watery and both fish and batter lacked flavour. Her chips were better than ours. My husband's steak was good and hot but everything else on the plate was luke warm. Chilli and sea bass were good. The only reason we didn't complain was because we didn't want to spoil our son's birthday. This was our first visit, and last!
