This is my second visit to the Woodpecker for breakfast. Both times the food & service has been excellent! You have a nice variety of continental to choose from as well as plenty on the hot menu, veggie options too. You order your hot food (as much as you like) which is much better as the food is cooked fresh and not a dried up buffet style. I have had poached eggs with my breakfast on both occasions, which have been cooked perfectly. For £10.99 it really is good value for money. Theres a nice variety of pastries, crumpets, pancakes, fruit, cereals etc. The service has been great both times, Keith today was exceptional. He was very friendly and looked after us perfectly, a credit to the Woodpecker! We are already looking forward to our next breakfast visit!

The Woodpecker Cookhouse provided food for those staying at the Premier Inn next door. Let's start with breakfast. If, like me and my family, you choose the full English the choice is superb and cooked fresh and not standing in containers on the counter. Then lunch. Again a good selection of good quality " pub grub". A great selection of dishes and well cooked and presented. We had a Sunday roast. The meat, beef for three of us and gammon for the fourth, was beautifully cooked and generous. There was a great vegetable selection. Last but not least evening meals. A great choice and well presented , cooked well and filling. My family and I would recommend. Even if you are passing travellers it is a must.

The Woodpecker has always delivered great food, served by lovely, attentive staff but today they surpassed themselves. I am so glad we booked as the restaurant was heaving, creating a lovely atmosphere. The food was excellent - the best Sunday lunch we have had anywhere locally. We also had a super prawn cocktail starter and I even managed one of their lovely desserts. Amazing value for money but more importantly we were made to feel welcomed and valued by Debbie and her staff. I would recommend booking as, unsurprisingly, this is becoming a very popular venue - which is well deserved.

We didn't actually eat here. We booked a table for 12, turned up at 11.57 and all the staff were sat around a table. When they finally acknowledged us, they were rude and arrogant. We said we had a booking at 12, they looked at their watches and the manager looked at us and said "What? Well, were going to finish our break first." The way they spoke to us made us leave and eat elsewhere.

Stayed here with work. I personally wouldn't opt to stay here. The pub lacks any sort of atmosphere and is way too big. When I stayed, the bar closed at 9pm due to no customers. The food was disappointing, and the starter was inedible as it was deep fried, overcooked, and swimming in grease. The hunters chicken wasn't too bad. The beer was flat, I had carling. I won't be staying here again, with work or otherwise. Needs some TLC and an injection of charisma.

It’s a spacious pub (nice layout) that has a good atmosphere on a Tuesday night in January, so that’s good. We had friendly service but it was stretched (they were too busy / not enough staff). Menu was varied, I liked the sound of quite a few things. Had fish and chips which is my go-to dish but it was average at best. Wine excellent and good value. Overall it was a lovely evening.

Arrived to a car park full of parents parking to collect their school kids. Nearly didn't get a disabled parking space. Then school kids were at the top of the ramp in the way. Door situation was difficult to use with a wheelchair, one you push then you pull the next door. We waited 4 minutes for staff to seats us, which caused one on crutches more pain standing. Then we waited 3 minutes for the drinks order and then 4 minutes for the food order to be taken. Baring in mind it was quite empty. Also I found the music a little too loud to enjoy a conversation at the table. And the lights were quite dimmed and difficult to see the menu. Staff was not attentive throughout visit. Had to ask passing staff to order and for the bill. The food was basic unfortunately. Had better food and service in standard pubs. Won't be returning.

Came here for our one year anniversary and it did not disappoint at all. My partner had never tried Mexican food and I think this place will now be on the list to regularly visit. When we arrived we were sat down very quickly and didn’t have to wait at all. Service was warm, friendly and efficient. I ordered a chimichanga and my partner ordered a fajita with steak and chicken. Both did not disappoint. They came out with very little waiting and the portions were large, tasty and hot. I ordered a side of jalapeno poppers and I heavily recommend these with the chilli dip. Absolutely recommend people try this place. The menu options, service and quality tick all the boxes.

Mains a basic scampi and chips proper scampi and piri piri chicken kebabs flat breads lovely chips and salad plentiful amount and thoroughly enjoyed. Downside drinks expensive but will be visiting again.
