A proper British pub in Cider with Rosie country.
Harden's survey result
Summary
In Gloucestershire’s lovely Slad valley, “Laurie Lee’s local has just gone from strength to strength over the years – although it’s not clear what Laurie Lee would think about it now, as while it’s still all scrubbed tables and good cider, it now also has a talented chef producing high-end pub grub”. “Sometimes the food is exceptional” (it was on Giles Coren’s June 2022 visit) – “service has been varied, but everywhere is struggling with staff… but on the right day, a visit here is magical”.
Summary
This “olde English pub” in Gloucestershire’s beautiful Slad valley (Laurie Lee’s ‘Cider with Rosie’ country) serves “very modern, innovative and delicious food” alongside “lovely local Uley brewery bitter”.
Summary
“An unspoilt country pub ,with fabulous views over the Slad valley” – “very friendly and worth a visit” if you’re in that neck of the woods.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

The Woolpack Inn Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Beautiful traditional country pub, a favorite of Laurie Lee, has bags of atmosphere and views over the valley. The food is amazing with a real italian twist and lots of fresh in season ingredients. We like all the different starters the best, monksbeard, salt cod carpaccio with cherries and pistachio, just delicious."
"Lunch on a cold and wet day - and The Woolpack is exactly what you want: warm and very cosy pub with relaxed and very friendly staff and perfect pub food. We had the cheese burger and the mussels in cider and leeks with a good pint and a beer shandy. A lovely Cotswold pub - not posh but great grub and a very friendly atmosphere. "
