Woolpack
I'm part of the Social Specialist family!
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 brewed real ales, created using water drawn from the nearby McMullen well, hand selected fine wines, world beers, glorious shakes and credible ethical coffee.
We love a really good burger – and ours are unique, tender and fresh, served in an all butter brioche bun and perfected by us for you! Dirty fries, wings, small plates and sharers this is the perfect menu for any social gathering.
Weather permitting, you can eat, drink and be merry alfresco on our scenic riverside terrace!

The team can’t wait to see you soon!
