Business closed down for good reason. Used to be lively but run into the ground by last manager. Could possibly re-open with a professionaly minded landlord, but only time will tell. Needs a huge refurbishment investment to repair the decline of recent years but unlikely tbh.

Is there any better place to have a nice relaxing pint after a long day at work? The answer is no. The Heartsease satisfies all your drinking needs. A world without the Heartsease is a world not worth living in…

I found the service fantastic and welcoming. I've played there in my band. There was a great turn out and the landlord really looked after us. This is a great music venue

I tried today, 19.4.23, as a tourist, to buy two meals here, given the "Food now being served" sign, which is visible from the roundabout outside. It was not true. This is false advertising.

Seems like a great place. We went for the first time to watch a band play. Drinks were reasonably priced. Huge carpark. Out door area for smokers too. Friendly people. It's had a bad reputation in the past, but it certainly didn't feel bad to us The atmosphere was great. Definitely go again. It has a pool table too.

The pub shares a car park with Aldi. I went as an Aldi shopper, thinking I was in an Aldi car park, which signage suggests. However, the pub hires a private company to charge people up to £100 for parking in their unclearly-signed parking bay in what you think is an Aldi car park. What a scam.

Went to go in for an evening pint. 9.50 pm and a small group sat at the bar talking to the only chap behind the bar drinking, don’t know if manager or not? Got told straight away that they were shut! The place stank of weed & looked a total dive, from the last time I went in a few months previous. Shocking!

We went in today for a Sunday roast.. looked on their website to check prices.. they advertised that it would only cost £8.95 for an adult meal. When we arrived the board outside said £10.95. So we still wanted a great carvery. The food was horrible warmed by a microwave as we heard the famous DINGround the back. We couldn't smell any food that had been cooked but was told it was all cooked by the chef. A frozen dinner meal would have been better and cheaper.

old boys night out. This is my local pub and has been in need of some TLC for a long time, so with the new management of Joe & Nicci in place I took a chance and called our old footballing mates for the annual gathering . Have to say it could not have been bettered and I have received many calls from the boys talking about the next bash . This is not a Gastro pub ,but the mixed grills ,steaks ,fish & chips were excellent .A good Real Ale was on ,and all drinks reasonably priced . Gigantic Cheeseboard and good coffee ,service by Dani made the evening a great success .The pub does a good very popular Carvery on Sunday and I'm sure will start to get a good following. Many thanks.Colin Irons

Two carveries for £15? Solid, but don't be expecting the best. The Woodman is one of those pubs I seem to drive past with it barely registering. Recently it's been decorated with all sorts of signs and a luscious new paint job to try and catch the eyes of the thousands that must drive past just like I did. So I stopped in to take on their advertised carvery and watch a bit of football. Let's be clear from the off, this is a pub in transition. It's clearly been a neighbourhood pub for generations, you can almost sense the ciggy smoke and see where the big D board would have hung beside the optics all those years ago. It's a very big space, broken up into a series of rooms, which makes it feel smaller than it should, but if it had a peak rush you can imagine it would handle things just fine. So it feels smaller but also echoey, a little tired perhaps and that's not so bad for a lazy afternoon. The staff are all bright, helpful, exuberant and smart. They were welcoming and patient with my obvious hangover. The carvery! Let's manage expectations here. Two carveries for £15 is almost unheard of 'in this economy' so whilst this isn't exactly a carvery from Temu, you have to remember it's not going to be the Ivy grill. The meats were fantastic. At first I was critical of a piece of beef, because it looked completely dry, but this chef knows his stuff and delivered with the beef, the turkey, the pork and the gammon. Late in the service, it's hard to have a beef as tender as that and when you add the roasties into the mix here you have the foundations of a surprisingly good budget roast. Then things start to fall away a bit. The carrots were okay, the gravy was passable, the stuffing was unusual in its texture, but very tasty. Everything else, including the yorkie, just felt a bit like compulsory plate filler. There was a genuine discussion whether it was cauliflower cheese or bread sauce, and there was no distinctive answer. We couldn't tell. So for an absolutely slamming budget carvery, get all the meats, the roasties, carrots, maybe a spoon of peas and top it off with some gravy and you're golden. There are plenty of places to watch the game, they play good music in the main room while you eat and there's a decent space for the kids to play. The car park is massive and the food is OK, but let's not forget this is a pub in transition. It's like a big Saint Bernard hound asleep in its basket, you'll have to be quite active to get it up and about and out for a walk, you know? Otherwise, this is just another bar that's content to slumber and never achieve the dream of what it could one day become.

The service i recieve while there is first class. With being in a wheelchair some things are difficult. Sam (one of the staff) can never do enough. She tries to make my life as easy as possible which makes my experience a lot better. My thanks to Sam for all the help she gives me as well as being friendly, polite and helpful.
