Hello and Welcome to the Woolpack

Wow, what a wonderful summer that was and thank you all coming down and taking advantage of our lovely garden, unfortunately had to cancel our Cootes Veterinary Clinic charity dog show due to very bad weather but it will be it will back next year!

The Festive season beckons and our Festive Menu is prepared and it can be either picked up in the pub, or viewed here on our website. We can cater for couples, families or groups of most sizes, and we will of course be putting up our traditional decorations. Our light Turning on event is Monday 17th November, be sure to make a booking if you would like to come along. We open the pub at 5.00pm on that day with the ‘Lights On’ at 6.30pm with our very own Dan Whaley doing the countdown, lots of fun, with mince pies and mulled wine all round and cookies and squash for the kids.

We will be open on Christmas day for drinks 11.30 to 3.00pm with complimentary assorted homemade sausage rolls all round. Christmas lunch will be served for limited bookings only and if you would like to join us, please either email via our website or call to leave a message and Dee will call you back to provide the details. Keep an eye on our Events page as we will be having Wreath Making evenings, Charity quizzes, our own house quizzes, live music and much, much more Roast dinners on Sundays are still proving very popular so it is a good idea to book so that you are not disappointed.

Did you know that we have a takeaway menu on Sundays and you can have any of the roasts, sides and desserts to go? Simply telephone your order through and pay on collection, perfect if you have had the day out and don’t have the time to cook.

Don’t forget, you can keep up to date via Facebook and Instagram both thewoolpackburgesshill.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Thank you

A traditional warm welcome awaits you here at the Woolpack. Burgess Hill’s best kept secret, a country pub which was formerly West End farmhouse which in part, dates back to 1621. (We have found records of a property on the same site called Floods Hatch that dates back to 1588).

There is a restaurant area within the Sussex Barn that extends from the farmhouse, which is cosy and comfortable with its eclectic collection of tables and chairs.

Food is served throughout the pub and garden and is prepared fresh here every day. Our suppliers are all locally based and we are proud to be working with them. Their details can be found on our menus or under the ‘Our Partners’ tab on this web site. We work hard to make sure every meal we prepare and serve is as good as we can make it and we pride ourselves on the standard of our service and our relaxing atmosphere.

Opening hours: Monday to Saturday 12.00 to 11.00pm – Sunday 12.00 to 10.30pm

* No Children allowed after 9pm.

* We do not run tabs if you are outside.

* And we do not allow vests either inside or out.

Our Ales include Harvey’s and up to three guest ales plus Shipyard APA. Our lagers are Heineken, Amstel, Birra Moretti, Cruz Campo ,Fosters and Heineken 0.0. We also have a large stock of Low and No alcohol including Gordons Gin 0 and Guinness 0.

The wine list offers Red, White, Rose and sparkling with a choice of Champagne. We have over seven wines available by the glass
and if there is a particular wine you would like us to stock for you we would be happy to see if we can.

Throughout the year we will be hosting special events which will include themed nights with supporting menus, live music, cookery demonstrations and lots, lots more. Keep an eye out for our flyers or let us have your email address and we’ll keep in touch. You can also see forthcoming Events under that tab on this site. If you have a special celebration this year come and talk to us about what we can offer for your event.

The farmhouse has a large wood burner in the fireplace and a Toad in the Hole table nearby. If you don’t know the rules for this old Sussex game we will be happy to show you how to play and it’s great fun for two or more players.

If it’s a pint of the usual or diner for you and the family and guests we look forward to welcoming you.
Cheers
