Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Ordered a fish curry as per Deliveroo. Was delivered Battered fish in a curry sauce. It was not described as such on Deliveroo or on their menu online. Called the restaurant to ask how their fish curry usually is prepared. They stated tilapia fish in...a curry and no battered fish (fish pakora) is used. Essentially given lots of batter with a tiny amount of fish in a generic curry sauce. When I called I was told a host of lies such as “maybe the chef was trialing another recipie” absolute load of rubbish. Would not recommend the food or the service. Advised them to state what they serve if they intend to serve the wrong dishes.More

My family and I went to the Woolpack over the weekend for a birthday meal. We decided to go there after it was recommended by friends. On arrival we were seated and told that the ladies toilet was out of order and we had to...use the mens. The bar staff advised that we ask a male member of the family to enter in first to check that the "cost was clear before females went in". This should have been a red flag and having seen the state of the toilet we should have left at that point, but we had already ordered food at that point. This is the only toilet at least make already its clean!! To be fair the food was OK but we were sat next to a table of lads on a night out who were loud and rowdy so didn't really get to taste the food as all we wanted to do was leave. I did explain to the staff that they should have considered where they seat customers but at this point we were at the end of the meal. All in all a not so pleasant experience. Will not be returning.More

Where do I start? Honestly, the best indian I have ever had. I have been a customer for more than 7 years and the restaurant never fails to serve delicious food. Let it be starters or mains, the portion is good. Starters are nice and...sizzling. For mains I usally get garlic naan and butter chicken. This is a prime example of how a butter chicken should be made. I have had lots of butter chickens from other restaurants where they are too sweet that it can be served as a dessert. Woolpack's butter chicken has been on point (spicy and creamy) since I ever started eating here. There is a good selection of drinks aswell. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!More

Hi me and a 6 of our friends came into eat and the staff were very rude and not bothered, the pint of cobra was watered down and when we told the worker this her response we got was I have served 180 pints and...had no problem! We then asked for the manager a Asian kid who could hardly speak English he was very rude and said if we do not like the place then do not come back , we was very disappointed in this experience and will definitely not be coming back! You cannot treat customers like this and I hope the owner highlights this to there staff to treat customers with care.More
