That's why we're backing a hospitality-wide call to Government ahead of the Budget, championing the sector's ability to create jobs and opportunities for young people.

🍕 PIZZA MONDAY at The Woolpack! 🍕
From 6pm tonight, we're firing up the oven for handmade sourdough pizzas, freshly made and ready to eat in with us or take away.
Prices start from just £10.50.
Our pick? The Picante. A bit of heat on that tangy sourdough base is hard to beat. But the Farmhouse and the classic Margherita are both worth it. Which one are you going for? Tell us in the comments! 👇
Pop in or give us a call to order your takeaway.
