The Woolpack Inn

Brilliant atmosphere, surroundings, ale, food, service, and comfort. As an American, this pub had one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, if not the best. As the staff explained, the burger was in the style of a McDonald’s burger. It had the taste and addictiveness of McDonald’s with clearly superior ingredients and freshness. The onglet and chips were great as well. Mussels and deviled crabs were great starters. The strawberry ice cream was also an incredible dessert, probably the best strawberry ice cream I’ve tried. Friendly staff and service. I would recommend that you reserve a table.

Service was very nice the general manager was so kind and funny. Gave very good recommendations. The views outside are beautiful and the burger is great. Loved the small plates too... All very authentic.

Genuinely the best "gastro pub" I've ever been to. Beautiful old pub with heaps of authentic charm serving truly outstanding food. A really well thought out menu, we ordered five dishes and each one was a winner. Roasted quail was perfect and the blood pudding was so so good. Very fairly priced for the quality, great wine list and friendly attentive service. I hear the Sunday Roast is banging, so I will get back to Cheltenham soon just to try it

Excellent beef and chips! Loved the way this place obviously hasn't changed for decades. The beer was excellent too!

Just had a beautiful lunch here. Food and service was exceptional. We had the cod cheeks and blood cake to start, both delicious and incredibly light. The blood cake with celeriac was gorgeous, so flavourful and a really light texture we weren't expecting, really good. Both the roasts were delicious and good portions. The fig and almond tart we shared at the end was stunning. Looking forward to the next visit.

Frequented the Woolpack irregularly over the past few years but have been twice recently for a drink (last time on Friday afternoon 11/04/2025). It's a lovely old pub inside and is a favourite haunt of the locals. I've only eaten there once but the food was good if rather pricey. The Woolpack, as most people know, was made famous by Laurie Lee and my photos are of the pub's "Laurie Lee Bar". His grave is easily accessible in the churchyard almost opposite. Slad's well worth a visit for that alone. The pub boasts a beer garden and the loos are outside, even the ladies!

A Very Good Job A fabulous menu in a proper pub (Uley bitter) with tables. Super friendly efficient service, interesting well priced wine list (more organic please?), really interesting nosh. Salt cod and potatoe soup, rabbit and trotter pie, perfect greens, good chips, the best pear sorbet ever, chocolate and creme fraiche with prune. Bravo 🐌🐌🐌

The prettiest pub, absolutely delicious food with amazing fresh/local ingredients and the friendliest team!
