Quick info
About The Woolpack
The Woolpack is a pub on Westgate in Huddersfield with a beer garden and a separate upstairs function room called The Loft. The Loft runs as a self-contained hire space with its own bar, and it seats around 40 to 45 guests for private events. The room can also show video or photo loops and run playlists, and the pub brings in an outside caterer, The Lost Property Coffee Shop, to handle event buffets. Downstairs, the bar pours traditional pub beers in a layout that welcomes walk-ins, with dogs welcome throughout. The garden sits at the back for warmer days, and live music and sports programming make it a busy spot in the evenings.

“It remains, The finest pub in the area, excellent beers, a great garden and lovely staff.”

“We held my dad's Funeral Reception at the Woolpack Inn last Friday. The Loft function room is spacious and beautifully lit, making it a very relaxed and cosy space. It was perfect for our 45 guests, with the facility to show photos on a loop video and have my selected Spotify Playlist played as background music. The function room above the pub has its own bar and we used the catering company recommended by the Woolpack Inn, (The Lost Property Coffee Shop), who prepared a wonderful buffet. BUT the gentleman who made our event so special and perfect was the Pub Manager, Steve Taylor. He attended to our every need and nothing was too much trouble. He's a very polite, considerate and professional manager, as well as being just a really nice chap, who's company we enjoyed throughout the whole Reception. Thank you, Steve !”
