Woolpack

A child friendly pub serving food with Sky TV in Hertford.

Steeped in tradition, yet bang up to date, the Woolpack has been a McMullen pub since 1856 – and brewing has taken place here since 1743!
A picturesque pub packed with McMullen heritage on the River Lea, just a moment from the centre of Hertford, the Woolpack’s the ideal haven from the crowds. Step through the glass lobby to discover a roaring log fire, historic timbers and good old-fashioned comfort with a stylish modern twist – featuring historic artefacts unearthed from the brewery vaults, such as the deeds to pubs from the last century and the centre table that was a McMullen sign in another life!

Enjoy locally crafted real ales, created using water drawn from the nearby McMullen well, hand selected fine wines (hic!), single malts, world beers, glorious shakes and credible ethical coffee.
We love a really good burger – and ours are unique, tender and fresh, served in brioche buns and perfected by us for you! Feeling healthy? Go naked (sans bun!) or enjoy fresh salads with a Woolpack twist.
Weather permitting, you can eat, drink and be merry alfresco on our scenic riverside terrace (bookings welcome)!
Eyes on the future but feet firmly in the past – enjoy the Woolpack!
