The Woolpack

Mill Bridge, SG14 1PZ, Hertford

Steeped in heritage, alive with character – welcome to The Woolpack.
A McMullen pub since 1856, with brewing roots dating back to 1743, The Woolpack is a true Hertford treasure. Nestled on the banks of the River Lea and just moments from the town centre, it’s the perfect escape from the everyday.

Step inside and you’ll find a warm, welcoming pub rich in history – from the roaring log fire and exposed beams to brewery artefacts like century-old pub deeds and a centre table crafted from a repurposed McMullen sign.

At the bar, enjoy freshly brewed McMullen real ales made with water from our very own well, along with hand-picked wines, world beers, indulgent shakes, and ethically sourced coffee.

Our food is all about bold flavour and fresh ingredients – with standout burgers served in buttery brioche buns, loaded dirty fries, wings, small plates, and sharing dishes ideal for catching up with friends.

And when the sun shines? Our riverside terrace is the perfect spot to eat, drink and relax al fresco.
