About
The Woolpack is a charming 17th‑century country pub set along the tranquil Sopley Brook, just a short walk from Christchurch. Its historic thatched roof and warm wood‑panelled interior create a classic pub atmosphere, while the spacious beer garden offers a relaxed riverside dining experience. Fresh, locally sourced food is cooked on the premises and served all day, complemented by a selection of real ales, local ciders, and a fine wine list. The pub welcomes families, couples and even dogs, making it a popular destination for both locals and visitors exploring the New Forest.
