The Woolpack is a traditional, back street town local that has character and a great atmosphere.

It serves excellent beers (winner of CAMRA awards) and has a annual beer festival. Some drinkers say that it serves the best Guinness in Chelmsford too.

For food, the bangers and mash (or chips) is a favourite.
