Older lady who brought our food put and cleaned our table was excellent. She was very professional, polite and well mannered. Things to improve: more staff behind the bar
Popped in for a couple of cheeky Lunch time refreshments. Really nice pub. Much larger than it looks from the front. Plenty of parking. Will be popping in again. Worth a visit.
We love the Woodman, we are regulars as we live on the next road but if we didn't would travel to visit. We are a family of 3 generations, we always find there is something on the menu for everyone. The food is delicious and a great quality, really good value for money and last but no means least the team who work there are so friendly and accommodating. This year we went for Christmas lunch as we did last year and had a really great time. Great atmosphere, really tasty food and great service.
I booked the festive meal menu for 12 family members. This was booked back in October. I put our orders in a few weeks before as requested by the restaurant and I arrived early today to make sure my email I sent regarding my guests allergy was received as I didn’t get a reply back. This was fine as I was told everything was in order. Starters came, they were fine. Mains came and there was an extra festive meal (not appropriate for my guest with allergies) the waitress said the gluten/wheat free meal was still being made. I think the extra meal was sent instead of the gluten free one. We had to wait a while for it to arrive. The festive meal didn’t have stuffing or cranberry sauce as advertised. The roasters and meat were very dry. Steak was chewy and sides with steak were dry. I do wonder whether our meals were sitting under a heat source waiting for us to say we were ready for them. On a plus side the burger, festive pie and sea bass were good. Desserts came. Most of my guests had Brownies. All delivered within 1 minute of each other but some came piping hot, some were cold. When I booked I didn’t realize we didn’t have table service but that was my fault for not finding out. When I went to pay at the bar (total bill £325) it asked if I wanted to leave a service charge which I didn’t want to and the lady serving me didn’t seem happy with this although she didn’t say anything, it was just the impression I got. To sum up, the food wasn’t great but the staff were friendly so In my opinion the kitchen has to take responsibility for food we received and our experience. Would I go back again? Sorry, it’s a no from me.
Nice food nice staff. Good selection of drinks. Outstanding value. Must try. Just be aware of the £1 kids meal offer, you need to register on their website in advance and download the code before you can get the offer, been told it would take 24 hours to activate.
