The Woolpack is a Greene King pub that looked very inviting with it lights on as I approach at dusk on a recent Thursday. There’s a central bar that serves a public bar to the right that houses a pool table and dartboard, and a more comfortable bar to the left where I spent the duration of my visit. In here banquettes run along the front windows and up the left-hand wall opposite the serving counter up the right. On the rear wall a huge screen was showing muted satellite football while some D.I.S.C.O. music played I the background, right up my street! At the rear is a large open plan seating area that I took to be an empty dining room. Available from the friendly bar staff were a selection of premium keg products alongside Neck Oil and eight hand pumps, six of which were in use drawing Thirsty Moose Brewing’s Nowt But Stout, Hardy & Hansons Bitter, Greene King’s Brightside Pale and Scrumdown, Landlord and Woolpack which I’m not sure about. As Greene King pubs go, I thought this place was very good and will return if I find myself passing again.

Traditional corner local run by Greene King. The baby poo green paint is a mis-step in an otherwise nice interior - classic pub carpet alongside a mahogany (with stained glass upper) servery. TV rugby on a big screen with an audience of nil. Six (!) cask with four genuinely oddball GK list choices plus TT Landlord and Mauldons (again!). I went for a half of the GK Watch Room which was lacking a bit of turnover but was drinkable (NBSS 2.5), a classic case of more cask on than demand warrants meaning fewer people then drink your cask as it gets a bad rep. Scatty barmaid tried to charge me for a pint, wasn’t surprised. It's a fair place for a look-in but the ale drinkers are elsewhere despite the willing line-up. 6.5

Backstreet Greene King pub which was heavily decked out for Halloween in what was probably one of the largest rooms. Although, things were starting to get a little hazy and we didn't explore the rest of the pub.
At first sight, there appeared to be a good number of ales. Some had standard pumpclips. Others had been handwritten. On closer inspection, there was Greene King Abbot & London Glory, Ruddles Best, Morland Original & Old Speckled Hen, Hardy & Hanson's Olde Trip & Mighty Oak Captain Bob. My attention was drawn to the handwritten clip at the far end, which appeared to be an IPA from a new brewery I'd not heard of called 9K.
However, it soon dawned on me that it wasn't 9K at all. It was in fact gK and I'd ordered a Greene King IPA. With table service de rigeur, I had to shout across the room to stop the barmaid pouring the drink and to change my order to the Captain Bob instead. Luckily, my intervention had come in the nick of time. The Captain Bob was a decent drink and I'd avoided a beer I don't particularly like. No CAMRA discount was offered.
Nice pub. But it was a shame that all but one of the ales was from the Greene King stable.
