The Woolpack, Louth

Poorly modernised Batemans pub showing wear and tear already. Three teenage girls gossiping behind the bar, with mediocre half of XB forthcoming (NBSS 2). Had been busting for a dump all the way here and guess what, the light in the traps didn’t work so I had to drop ballast in the dark. The WiFi pw is 'greatguinness' which probably tells you something. Rubbish, no idea how this made the GBG cut.

A good traditional pub in the backstreets, near the old canal. The bar is a slightly bilious shade of blue but otherwise fairly unspoiled. The right hand side is the 'public bar' area, with darts and pool, with a dining area behind the other side and a garden at the rear. Beers from Batemans plus guests such as Adnams, and a cider. Food is fairly conventional but well cooked and in large portions.

This pub is about 5 minuites walk from the town centre and i thought it was worth it. The Woolpack is a Batemans tied house with a couple of rooms i went in the smarter lounge which was quite cosy and comfortable. There were three Batemans beers on the bar plus a couple of guest beers that i did'nt note,i had a drink of Batemans XB which was very nice there was also Batemans XXXB and a Batemans seasonal beer
