About us

But if you just want to settle into a comfy leather armchair and sit by a roaring fire with a drink in hand, then we’re the perfect base for that too. Don’t miss our delicious seasonal food — we offer traditional pub classics alongside more elegant fare — which you can chose to eat in our classic flagstone-floored bar, dining room or outdoor dining area. We have seven beautifully appointed en-suite guest rooms for overnight stays and dogs are warmly welcomed.

Less than 90 minutes from London and easily accessible from Basingstoke, Winchester and Southampton, we’re perfectly placed for a quick, relaxing break.

Nestled in the heart of Candover Valley’s spectacular shooting country, each of The Woolpack’s seven rooms is named after a gamebird, including six en-suite double bedrooms and the gorgeous Golden Pheasant suite with two doubles and a shared bathroom. Converted from the original stables, exposed flint walls and wooden beams exude rustic charm with plenty of home comfort – think fluffy towels, Egyptian cotton linen and fresh milk in the fridge.

Beautiful pub set in the heart of Hampshire countryside. The interior is well decorated, nice and cozy with an open fire place. The food quality is pretty impressive. We really enjoyed our chunky chip, great texture and flavor. Looking forward to trying more of their dishes. It is 2 rosette and 4 star hotel so the menu reflects this. Highly recommended to visit this pub.

A really wonderful experience for a birthday getaway. The Woolpack isn't immediately surrounded by much so if you're looking to get away from it then this is the place. The food is great with one vegetarian meal per section even though it's known as a game-shooting pub, the rooms are a little on the small side but very nicely done up and the staff - oh, the staff! Every single person we interacted with was friendly, attentive and capable. We also drove to the brewery in nearby Four Marks and had a wonderful shopping experience at Long Barn. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and thank you again, Woolpack!

Such a disappointment! We’ve been visiting The Woolpack for quite a few years now and have always had a great experience. This Sunday however, we were extremely disappointed with the standard of food and the customer service - or rather lack of it received! My husband’s roast beef was served cold. He sent it back and 5 minutes later a new plate of roast beef was served with no apology for the incident. The food was sitting in a plate full of gravy. When my husband queried this, the waiter said this was “due to the angle of the table!”. Clearly the gravy was poured on in copious amounts to keep the food warm, however this just made it completely unappetising for my husband and he sent it back. Whilst I finished my main course, nobody came to my husband to offer him an alternative or see what they could do to rectify the situation. Appalling. Lunch was ruined and in hindsight, we should have contested paying for anything really given the experience. However, we just couldn’t wait to leave! We’ll take some convincing to go back.

Thoroughly thoroughly disappointed. I’m staying in swarraton for the weekend for my anniversary. We thought we’d go for a lovely pub roast but that is far from what we experienced. We arrived and were seated in the most uncomfortable seats. Though we did ask to move and they did accommodate this. The food arrived the calamari was okay. Fresh but very oily. The roast dinner well. The gravy was great! Very rich and delicious. The lamb was fatty and chicken was dry. Carrot was raw in the middle very crunchy. Potatoes were cold in the middle. Cauliflower cheese was mushy not one full piece of cauliflower in site. Alcohol and drinks were well priced and bar staff were great! As a bartender and my partner being a chef we did expect more for £80. We weren’t sat in the restaurant part just in the bar where we had to listen to some people obnoxiously sat at the bar talking about horse manure the whole time we were eating. Disgusting. I asked for a dessert menu which took about 25 minutes to arrive. Would not come here again if i was ever in the area. A very horrible lunch. Not just food but atmosphere and horse manure conversations. Would not reccomend left feeling robbed of my money!

Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten at a pub! I had the chicken salad with a side-order of truffled mac & cheese. Absolutely unbelievable - never wanted these dishes to end!! The portion sizes here are great, and there is an awesome selection of drinks to choose from. I enjoyed a delicious pale ale with my food 🍺 The service here is warm and friendly, and when one of my party had an issue with her dish (some of the mussels served had not opened) the staff were apologetic and quick to help, replacing the unopened mussels immediately. Will definitely be back 😇
