The Woolpack, Beverley

A pleasant little pub in the picturesque backstreets of Beverley. The hanging baskets and wooden bench outside makes it look immediately inviting. Entering through a colourful stained glass door via a number of punters who had spilled out onto the pavement - it was absolutely rammed on my Sunday afternoon visit with diners, so much so I couldn't find a seat for ages and missed seeing the little snug. An upmarket country pub ambience, with traditional furniture and homely red and gold fabric bench seating. A Marstons pub with three of their expanded portfolio on (Jennings Cocker Hoop, Snecklifter and Thwaites Wainwright) alongside Pedigree, which bore no resemblance to those listed on the blackboard above the bar – the turnover of beer was pretty ferocious on my visit and there was almost no room to get to it to change the names. My half of Cocker Hoop was in very good shape. It's a good little stop but time your visit well, as I struggled to feel relaxed in the throng – I suspect my score of 7.5 would be higher otherwise.

This pub is definitely worth the short walk from town. The pub consists of one main room, with a small bar on the right hand side. Also on the right of entry is a cosy snug with fireplace. The main room also has a fireplace and was lit on our visit. The main room is half carpeted and half timber flooring, the banquette was finished in a floral patterned fabric, which was very much in keeping with this country style pub. Six ales on handpump, so we went for the Ringwood Mauler which was in great shape.
