Stood waiting for someone to greet us ,staff changing dead flowers while we were sat at table.Smallest portion of mushy peas ever.Steak served with few chips and sauce,little bit of greenery..Chips with the burgers were very poor and almost burnt .Not a good meal and quite expensive. Staff were pleasant enough though

came here with my fiance to find somewhere to watch the lionesses game - we couldn’t have found a lovelier place! the staff were so accommodating, they put the game on as soon as we mentioned it and sat us upstairs in front of the tv - they didn’t have to open upstairs but going that extra mile for us meant we had the most amazing night! the food was literally incredible, arrived so speedy and so did the drinks - everything delicious! lionesses won 2-1 just to top it off :) the woman who helped us was called Jade i believe and the bartender was sam or ben we can’t remember! he was lovely as was everyone working, smiley and professional! loved it, we will be back and defo bringing our family next time :) thank you!!

We had the most beautiful evening at The Woodstock for our wedding reception. The staff were so kind and friendly, and really went above and beyond to make it a special night. Drinks were ready for our arrival and the buffet was excellent. It was a real night to remember and we would absolutely recommend this gorgeous pub.

Birthday Meal Visited the Woodstock for the first time on Sunday June 2nd for a family meal for my wife’s birthday. First impressions were good, fantastic looking place very clean and tidy. We started with a drink in the extensive outdoor area before moving indoors when our meals were ready. We were a table of 8 and despite it being a busy Sunday lunch all the food was cooked in a timely manner and all served together And speaking of the food, the portions were generous to say the least. I had the very nice Chicken Schnitzel, beautifully cooked, my wife had a child’s beef Sunday lunch and my Daughter had the sharing Sunday lunch with her husband which was enormous, enough to take home and make another meal from All in all, top class food, drinks and service, beautiful location and really reasonable prices. We will definitely be back

My first visit there today and i was so excited i must say the service and quality of food was very good, but however the quantity of the roast dinner i could not believe, i had barely half a potato on my plate and only 2-3 pcs of vegetables. Being in catering business myself this was very disappointing and i know in this business customer satisfaction should be top priority. I am not a person to complain but i was genuinely disappointed and didn’t enjoy my lunch as i thought i would.

Popped into today for lunch. We shared the 3 meats sharer, which looks impressive when delivered to your table. Meat was well cooked, and so was the veg and roast potatoes. The Yorkshire pudding was huge but dry and overcooked, which was the only downside. A good meal, but I've had better.

Nice Sunday lunch, lovely pub/setting and a very pleasant experience overall. Food was really good (we both had the roast chicken). Young waitress was friendly/polite, if a little generic in terms of appearance/personality but she was nice enough. Two minor criticisms of the food - gravy pots were way too small and we ended up ordering extra (which they happily obliged with) and the cauliflower cheese had mustard in it, which was quite overpowering. I didn't mind it but seemed an odd addition and feel other customers (especially children) might not be a fan. Overall, very nice meal/occasion and would happily eat there again.

We have eaten Sunday lunch here many times over the years, with generally positive experiences. It used to be our go to pub lunch for family and friends who were visiting. The last couple of times have been different, with last Sunday’s lunch being awful.We’ve recently gone veggie, and so ordered the nut roast. It had so many currants in it, I felt like I was eating a Christmas pudding, and some mouthfuls tasted like it was laced with raw oats or crumble topping. Couldn’t detect many (if any) nuts. I really don’t know what the chef was thinking. It was accompanied by red cabbage cooked with raisins (more currants! It was the sweetest Sunday roast I have ever had!) and rock hard parsnip. It was just generally unpleasant. I am not known for leaving food on my plate, but did on this occasion.One of our guests had the mushroom risotto off the recommendation of another guest who’d had it a few weeks earlier. Apparently it was like a completely different dish, and they were not impressed. My partners mum had one of the meat options. She said it was cooked well, in fairness. Sometimes you get issues with the veg when getting a pub roast, which is forgivable. But when the main part of the dish is so ill judged and poorly cooked, it can’t be overlooked. It’s 2019, your vegetarian offer should be up to scratch. Get a decent option on the menu and we’ll give you another go, but it won’t be for a while.

Sunday roast review:Advised certain meats missing from the menu, it was 4pm, not that busy and there are only 3 meats to cater for!Parsnips solid, carrots hard, roasties ok, Yorkshire pud was flat and looked like a pale omelette, meat was dry and chewy.This place used to be decent, the food is going downhill fast, they need new chefs to save a catastrophe on TripAdvisor.Won't be going back for food, only for drinks in summer.

No estoy muy seguro de lo que ha sucedido aquí recientemente. Hemos visitado (y nos ha encantado) The Woodstock durante muchos años, sin embargo, cada vez que hemos visitado recientemente ha sido una gran decepción.Desde cenas de asados no comestibles, cursos que tardaron más de una hora en llegar y un gerente masculino que nos preguntó al cliente qué queríamos que hiciera en lugar de responsabilizarnos de lo sorprendente que fue el servicio. Si alguien no interviene (y rápido!!!) Este lugar no durará mucho más. ¡Es una pena!

Over the last few years, we’ve visited the Woodstock for drinks in the beer garden or a Sunday roast & a game of scrabble. We hadn’t been for a while since the refurb, but decided to go for a Sunday roast after a walk - what a disappointment! Not only has the Woodstock lost some of its charm, but the food was AWFUL! With the new table service now in place, we ordered roast chicken & beef, and within 2 minutes, our food was brought out! Instantly, the alarm bells started ringing in my head - clearly everything had been standing for a while and wasn’t fresh... The meat was dry and leathery, the potatoes seemed as though they’d come out the freezer, and the vegetables were either hard & undercooked or overcooked & limp. Overall, we really didn’t enjoy the meal and would’ve been better off cooking a roast at home. Real shame that it’s gone downhill so much - we won’t be coming back.

Love the building and decor, perfectly done!Attended the pub quiz for 2 consecutive weeks - The first week we found the staff to be rude (particularly the manager), they had about 2 items in stock on the menu and we had to keep going up after choosing a different meal to then be told they don't have it (without exaggerating, this happened 4 times - in the end we had to ask what they actually did have). After having a disappointing meal of food we didn't actually want, we thought a pudding might brighten the mood. Seconds before ordering, a waitress came up and asked for the menus back, telling us we couldn't order anymore food (20:30) as they'd closed the kitchen?! I went to the bar to ask if this was true, her response "yes, we don't have any food anyway".The one redeeming quality of this trip was the Canadian quiz master. We enjoyed the quiz enough to try it for a second weekUnfortunately, the same quiz master was not there on our second week. We found too many hints were being given and generally didn't enjoy it as much. All other negatives found in the first week still stood.We will not be returning.

The Woodstock es un pub agradable. . . . por una bebida. La comida es terrible. Patatas fritas empapadas que obviamente fueron cocinadas en aceite viejo que quieren bastante calor, muy pocas papas fritas e incluso se olvidaron de los guisantes. Pollo frito en el hueso que era graso y sin sabor. A los 27 años para la comida de pub no es barato, pero lo que es peor es prácticamente incomible. ¡Ahorra tu dinero y no te molestes en comer aquí!

The lowest rating I am allowed to give is 1 which I think is over generous. We visited on Sunday 27 January for a roast lunch, a decision which I absolutely regret. We were shown to our table and ordered drinks. So far so good. We were then advised there would be a wait of 1 hour before we would be served food. What was served in the end was barely recognisable as a roast dinner. Gravy was poured everywhere, the roast potatoes were soggy, the Yorkshire pudding was flimsy, the roasted vegetables were non existent. The vegetables looked like a frozen selection and were tasteless. When I complained about the “roasted vegetables” which were stated on the menu the waiter cheekily retorted I amSorry but you cannot roast peas. Altogether an experience to forget.

By far the worst Sunday roast I have had for the price I have had to pay! £25 for two slices of dried out leather and a sad excuse for vegetables, a few roast potatoes and red cabbage. Every other roast on the menu was sold out which I can understand as it was later in in the day but if you’re a restaurant who advertises a carvery then you should be a lot more prepared. The starter was average at best. 100% not worth £25! Do not recommend.

Booked in October for the festive menu. Followed all instructions paying deposit and completing meal choices in advance. Had the same phone conversation twice over the last month when people rang to ask me to pay the deposit and send in choices which I’d already done. Starters and mains were all fine although steak and chips was literally that not a vegetable or attempt at garnish in sight. Desserts were the disappointment - “warm poached pear” was cold and our festive cherry and plum crumbles weren’t just cold they were actually frozen. Our desserts were replaced to be fair but they had no more poached pear and it took the shine off an evening with our Romanian visitors who wanted to experience a nice pub. The request for an Irish coffee was obviously a step too far - it came in a short cappuccino type cup with a jug of cream. Had to DIY the rest.

This pub looked promising from the outside, but the waitressing staff were not very welcoming once inside. I came here for lunch but found the service to be awful with very rude waitresses who don't seem to be aware that they are not just there to go through the motions and serve food, but to be kind and attentive to customers, as you would find at any other eating venue in Didsbury. The waitresses must learn about appropriate etiquette, otherwise this pub is guaranteed to lose a large number of customers in the future.

I booked a table here for my boyfriend and I as we fancied trying somewhere different for his birthday. Upon arrival we were greeted by a blank faced member of staff who vaguely pointed us in the direction of our table (we had to find someone else to clarify it was the one he meant). It was table service because of where we were sat (we had a dog) which was fine but we had to go in search of a member of staff to clarify this and get menus. My boyfriend ordered a burger on a brioche bun because they were out of steak and I ordered a pie with triple cooked chips. His tiny burger came on a dry multi seed roll and my horribly burnt pie came with what can only have been oven chips and some very soggy vegetables. As a result we hardly touched our food although to be fair the waitress who collected our plates did question this and apologise. We were offered a pudding instead but by this point neither of us had any faith left in the food and the whole place was lacking atmosphere despite the time of year so we decided to head home. This is my first review and I don’t take writing negative comments lightly but considering it was a birthday meal and our experience was so terrible I felt I had to share my feedback.

I booked a table for two online. We arrived on time and we were directed to a table. We waited for more than 15 minutes. The waitresses passed us frequently and attended to other tables but completely ignored us. We were not asked if we would like to order anything or told how we could make an order. This was extremely poor and unwelcoming service and I would discourage anyone else from eating here until the staff are trained to treat customers with some respect.

Vino sin patatas asadas y tuvo que preguntar primero. Está bien, pero el gammon se publicita como naranja y whisky glaseado. Era muy seco y sin sabor. No vienen muchas verduras, las patatas asadas no tenían crujiente, estaban frías y húmedas, claramente cocinadas por la mañana y sin molestarse siquiera en calentarse.

Ayer, 31 de agosto, recibí una notificación de Euro Car Parks de una multa inminente por no cumplir con los términos y condiciones estipulados en la señalización. A varios clientes ya se les ha cobrado la suma, ¡lo que hace que sus cafés sean actualmente los más caros del mundo! Se advirtió acerca de esta práctica en esta M y ser hotel.

Dined on Sunday Lunch at 1.30pm. The Gammon was off the chocolate tart was off and most of the food. My fish and chips looked appetising but was tepid and the thrice cooked chips had barely been cooked once. The fish cakes would have been a good starter but we're inadequate as a main course. The waitress was excellent and that's the only reason this review gets 2 stars. Well done Holly.

He dejado un par de buenas críticas de este pub recientemente pero visita más reciente fue un poco decepcionante. Llegamos a un pequeño grupo de amigos y decidido ir arriba para pedir comida en un domingo. Nos detuvimos, ya que estábamos subiendo las escaleras y dijo su hasta allí tienes que quedarte aquí. Nos explicó que estábamos cenando. . . Para ser gentilmente conducidos a una mesa abajo. No podía ser molestado discutiendo, pero ¿por qué? ! ? ? Sentimos que no estábamos lo suficientemente bueno para arriba! Así que nos sentamos junto a algunos huéspedes titulares no eran niños de la familia cutre bien educados. Y vinieron los asados pidió MEGA rápido pero un poco frío. Pedimos salsa de rábano picante, pero que se había acabado! ! ! !

Como de costumbre, fui con mis compañeros a celebrar el final de su mandato. No estaba buscando información sobre aparcamiento, ya que han sido muchas veces. Nunca había estado en un pub donde he tenido que pagar por aparcar mi coche. Cuando multados 85 libras, me hice 'contacto' a través de la página web, pero no tenía respuesta a un correo electrónico, muy educado. No regresaré.

Como he visitado antes con amigos, simplemente para tomar un café, llegamos a la casa a Escocia para encontrar un 80 libras bien! ! ! ! Un café, sin duda no vale la pena el precio. Asqueado de Escocia.

Called in for a drink before going to dinner elsewhere. The building is very nice and everywhere appears clean and looked after. Staff nice and friendly, the only downside is the price of the drinks. Lagers are just short of £5 a pint, a lot dearer than most pubs in Manchester city centre, Nice seating outside but won't bother returning.

This place is a really beautiful pub with a massive outdoor beer garden where they serve pizzas and have a mini outdoor bar too. Visited with a friend for the early dining / lunch deal and felt like the options were okay, but not amazing (if I hadn’t have been doing the 2 courses for £12.45 I think it would have been a little pricey). However our food order was lost and we had to re-order after waiting an hour and 10 mins. Even though this was a shame, the staff were so brilliant at sorting it all out for us and gave us a refund too. Our starts of mushrooms and blue cheese on sourdough was gorgeous but I felt like our mains lacked on something and my eggs on my ham egg and chips were really over cooked and no veg at all which was a shame. So not the best meal I’ve ever had, but I had heard that they do amazing burgers so I will be back for another visit!

The Woodstock was a place for great drinks, unusual beers and charming atmosphere, it has turned into a big branded pub with impersonal service, you can get Camden Hells lager here but it is more expensive than London, so not sure if it is a locals pub or a one stop destination. Food is just ok but nothing draws me back, only time I fancy a Camden Hells.

The building is attractive with parking outside - but be careful you register your car registration with someone at the bar or you will be charged. A bit of a strange set-up, we had to find our own glasses and water etc. Some of the items on the menu were not available. The food took a reasonable time to come and was good. We recommend the sausages and the fish cakes - though how they can have "home made haddock" was a mystery! We had to wait a long time for the coffee. Pleasant men waiters but we had the impression they are not employing enough people.

Used to come here for drinks all the time. Have tried food a few times recently but ended in disaster everytime. Tried it a couple of times just incase it was a one off.... but really disappointing. Even if things came out on time or as described, I don't think they warrant the prices.

We left so annoyed and disappointed with the service. The staff had no clue what was going on. I had a a drink spilt all over me by staff. One lady in particular behind the bar possibly the manager (shockingly) was very rude and unprofessional.

Estoy siempre sorprendido por todas las malas críticas. Siempre tenemos una buena comida. Vino para comer el domingo recientemente y nos sirve Kev, él es amable y gracioso. Todos disfrutamos de la comida, especialmente partícipe asadas. Incluso dijo Kev es sobre el aparcamiento para asegurarse de que no fueron multados. Otra buena visita.

Worst place I've ever visited only reason to visit this place are the pizzas of my man Callum best cook I've ever meet down to earth recommended the Pizza menu because last time I visited anything that come out the main kitchen was horrid frozen and microwaved food. Only reason this place got 3 stars is the chef every star goes to him

Μετά απο την βόλτα στο κοντινό πάρκο, καθίσαμε να πιούμε μπύρα. Ο καιρός ήταν πολύ καλός και βρήκαμε, αν και λίγο δύσκολα, τραπέζι στην αυλή. Το προσωπικό εξυπηρετικό. Το περιβάλον όμορφο .και χαλαρό Σημαντικό είναι ότι σχεδόν κάτω απο κάθε τραπέζι υπήρχε ένα μεγάλο μεταλλικό μπώλ με καθαρό νερό για το σκύλο που μπορούσε να έφερνε ο κάθε ένας.

Had to wait over an hour for our meal, the potatoes on the roast dinner were black, not fresh and definitely reheated. We did get some more when I complained. I asked the waitress to take them back to show the chef, not an apology or anything

Loved this place as a student. Chilled atmosphere, large range of cheap tasty cocktails and great for food like burgers, chilli and loaded fries. Somewhere I could take my parents for food in the day and have drinks at night with mates.

A small courtyard area with picnic tables, a couple of small catering vans on site one sells food the other coffee, public toilets available and a watering place for dogs. It is a very popular place and can get very busy.
