The Woodend in Ashfield

Always a lovely Carvery & well priced.

Love this place, food is hot and tasty with plenty of choice. Staff are so lovely and work hard to keep customers happy. Breakfast is amazing here, one of the few places that still do amazing fried bread!

Jess and Ev are fantastic 🙂 come for breakfast often. They're always smiling and friendly with abit of banter. Breakfast delicious 😋

We go here all the time food is amazing

Food tasty enough and well priced, but far too long a wait for a restaurant that wasn't full

Very very hot in building, gammon gave me and partners mum food poisoning!!!

The pub staff are so welcoming to people and are always willing to assist you. They certainly stand out as their food is always warm. I maybe vegan but they make me aware of what things I shouldn’t have.

Very good carvery staff are excellent very nice and clean place to eat. Been here multiple times never disappointed

Clean lively pub £1 for Childrens meals Fridays

my table was booked in advance because being disabled we have to. when we got there we waited at the sign and the waitress came and said sorry there was no meat unless we waited for an hour, they had out phone number. i dont eat meat but my daughter who i was with does. she was really dissapointed. then we were offered the turkey scraps and a sausage also through this panic our veg were not cooked. we withed we hadnt bothered xxxx

Came for my little boys second birthday. Lovely food which came out quickly and really helpful staff. Joe especially went above and beyond to help me when I had a problem with the app. Would definitely recommend and will visit again.

Jess is so friendly and welcoming, thank you so much!

Lovely breakfast as always. Jess who served us on the till gave outstanding service

Absolutely amazing service from Evalyn

Lovely carvery, friendly folk's. Pleasant atmosphere and I come here several times a week. Keeley / Caz/ Tara always make you feel welcome. Everyone is wonderful , can't fault the service and value. 👏👏👏

Lovely friendly staff,Evlyn so nice&helpful.Good food for fab price.

The set menu option is brilliant, well called in after a walk and it was so cheap and filling with lots of different options. Jess the girl on the bar was great, nice to see!

Called in after a walk along the trails, Jess was so friendly and approachable! Even bought my drink across so I didn’t have to wait! Food was lovely too! Big thanks Jess! Xx

Jess was very professional, and pleasent and very polite . Made us feel welcome .would highly recommend

Jess was very helpful and polite

Great customer service and great food

Jess was very welcoming and friendly and the breakfast was lovely.

Lovely service, the carver Dec was very helpful and pleasant. Lauren on cook to order was also efficant and pleasant. Both food from cavery and off menu where good and will be back again soon.

Dec and joey were lovely, carvery was perfect

Love this place, consistently good food and very good value too!

Lovely carvery, friendly, welcoming staff.

Lovely day out with the family followed by a great meal with great service.

What a popular place this is. Our first visit, and we will definitely be back. Staff were very friendly, the food choice was easy as I walked past the carvery to the table, what a choice! We will definitely be back!

The place, service and food was great. We unfortunately had a family sat next to us with rather loud children 🙄

Went in at 19.50 got our food went back for more gravy and it had been taken away , then went back for more mint sauce it had been taken away we ended up finishing our meals dry ,they seemed more intrested in getting set up for breakfast for next day

Nice food, friendly staff, good environment.

The Woodend - Stone House 2 word review Sh*t house. Run down, dirty, warm drinks, bland poor quality food. Took me mam here for her birthday but it was more like a punishment than a pleasant meal. Worst meal I’ve had in the last 10 years. The person who served us was pretty nice though!

Amazing food but sometimes it can be a little bit burned and hard.Most if the staff are good but some are not nice and are quite stuck up.

It was really lovely carvery and the service we received from Karen the waitress was amazing.

What a great establishment absolutely fantastic can't say more than that 😀

Lovely n quiet during week, been before for carvery always good stuff

Was going to go for breakfast but it was closed so went elsewhere

This is a place that as much as I really want to like the place, primarily due to it being local , I just can't. We have visited twice now in a matter of weeks. First the Mayo had past its sell by date, the food was slightly bland and I mean, its not difficult to cook / make a cheeseburger! We also waited 20 + for the child's desert and had to chase that. The second visit very much the same , tried the carvery , wasn't too bad if I'm honest but again, sat here now as I type, half an hour after food, waiting on child's desert. Having chased this once again , the young girl came over grunted, huffed and puffed then continued to bring the next tables desert to us... Not ideal is it?

Great carvary chefs on foh where attentive was a birthday party 14 of us we all sat & ate 2 gether no waiti g for food it was brill deffo coming again value for money and desert was to big for one so 2 of us ate it choc fudge cake & cream all 14 of us really enjoyed it

Great food lovely atmosphere staff brilliant especially Joe always helpful nothing to much trouble Great Lad

Really enjoy our visits to the Woodend, Joe is extremely helpful and friendly, always sorts us out with the app, thankyou brilliant…..

Wot lovely breakfast I had this morning came with my freind tina the cook woz very polite be back again

Great service. Lovely staff. And special shoutout to Joe the bar man who is always friendly

Food is very underwhelming and overpriced. Staff were advised but nothing came of it.

Not a very nice carvery at all. There was not much selection of veg, and what there was was very basic, tasteless and bland. Roast potatoes were really hard and overcooked. Not worth the money. But then to top the whole experience off the toilets were awful. When your shoes are sticking floor like you're in a cheap and nasty nightclub in 1992 it isn't a good sign. There was toilet paper all over the floor and the distinct aroma of pi&&. Gross.

Staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. Food was fresh and delicious and there was a fab offer on the bottle of prosecco that I chose to buy so I brought two bottles 🍾 🥂 it was an affordable night to celebrate with family. Thank you

Carvery not great, beef fatty and not edible. Rest of meal warm. Mentioned this to staff but got no reply. not worth £9.49 each.Didnt even offer me a free dessert. I know they have since rectified the problem but they lost a loyal customer

Joey is an absolute star. Nothing is too much trouble. Made us feel so welcome. All the staff are great.

Joe has been the friendliest, most helpful person and is a credit to your front of house!

Been visiting here many years for the carvery and the lovely all you can eat breakfasts ,a lovely place to eat

Good food, really nice carvery, friendly staff and a nice looking pub. Plenty of free parking. Highly recommended

Tables were quite sticky. Roast potatoes and veg were luke warm, although the meat was very good and the chef serving the meat was very pleasant.

Came for the bottomless pizza and cocktails for valentines and was great service staff were very welcoming and great service and was amazing overall thanks you :)

Had a great experience at the wood end ,the food was great and the staff were excellent would definitely recommend

Took my Mum for a meal this evening, we had a lovely time. We were able to reserve a table with very little notice, despite it being very busy. We didn't have to wait for long for my Mums dinner off the menu, whilst we had a beautiful carvery.

Lovely food, staff really helpful

We come here for breakfast often and it’s always absolutely spot on. The nice thing about this place is that they do waffles with maple syrup which is awesome after a full English! Well recommended!

Absolutely fantastic, can't fault it 👌 thank you so much 😊

I had full english breakfast from here with my family. We really enjoyed. Affordable price. Highly recommend . Friendly staff.

Always a friendly place with great staff

Fantastic place, food is wonderful with plenty of choice. Sunday carvery is excellent with a choice of different meats and plenty of vegetables to help yourself to. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Plenty of space around tables and atmosphere is lovely with music but not too loud.

The most lovely people, very friendly and welcoming environment. Comfortable place with nice food :)

Food good but member of staff was rude when a comment was made about the peas being hard.

Nice carvery, £6 when on offer, (Get the app)

Allways good staff fantastic and allways made welcome by manager and staff 5 starr every time mark masters co director Sherwood village pub

I had a problem with an order on line but the staff sorted when I arrived they were very helpful

Not been for a while so thought we would give it a try with the family but unfortunately it turned out to be a bad decision. To be told on a Wednesday teatime that there was no turkey from the carvery on the menu only beef and gammon also the burgers which the family ordered was tasteless and didn’t look like burgers. So I wouldn’t expect anything good.

A regular customer, I’m always treated well by the staff, and always enjoy the food. The loyalty scheme rewards well and it’s my favourite place to eat.

Tina is the best chef ever!!!! Move over Ramsay, Give this girl a TV show!!!

Incredibly unwelcoming, abrupt and downright rude. Had hired cottage nearby for the week over xmas with family. Had 1 drink and left with no intention to ever return. No merry christmas there...no wonder virtually empty! Avoid wasting your time and money.

Met up with friends for lunch - pre booked, as it was a Saturday lunchtime. The lady on the bar looked incredibly tired - she was the only one serving, taking food and drinks orders. We were warned there would be a wait for food off the menu, which was good. I enjoyed my carvery - good choice, & the lady serving the meat was friendly & cheerful. The whole place could do with a good spruce up as it’s looking a bit dated - but it was clean. Toilets were clean too.

Hi meat was over cooked, brussel sprouts hadn't been cooked the gentleman that took me was very disappointed

Fantastic pub and staff first class

Woodend Huthwaite. Been for Christmas dinner and as usual food was great. The staff were fantastic and very pleasant 😊 nothing was too much trouble. Well done guys had a great Christmas dinner thanks to you all. a big thumbs up again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We actually had our early Xmas meal with a wonderful Foster Carers Group and a really nice pint of Guinness to wash down my fish and chips, yum yum!

Christmas day dinner I must say I am totally overwhelmed, on how well organised the dinner was. The staff were on it. Very well ran. The food was also perfect. Couldn't fault it at all. We'll done team. Special thanks to keeley Would recommend Christmas dinner. Resonable price too.

Excellent evening with family this evening lovely friendly staff and excellent hot quality food, had 14 of us and serving of our 3 course festive menu was great couldn’t ask for more, thank you woodend staff we will be back very soon

We had another great meal at the Woodend.The staff are so friendly and polite.Would like to thank the manageress and staff especially Karen and Ev for doing that little bit extra for us.Much appreciated. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you all.See you all again in 2025.

Very good breakfast and service

Booked this as somewhere new to try. Nothing that screams out to entice you back. Food and service were OK, nobody asked if everything was alright which I found a bit strange, may go again, but won't hurry back.

We went yesterday morning for breakfast (we haven’t been on a Sunday morning before and it was busy the guy on the front of house “Joe” was not flustered by the long queue waiting to place orders. He was full of smiles as always and polite and helpful Joe is a mega Credit to the Woodend. The Que soon went down We usually go in the week and the staff (young ladies are just lovely. Unfortunately there is one member of staff (not young) who really lets the side down an should be banished to the back area only as she doesn’t have the smile, welcome, manners one should have to serve the public has been heard being abrupt and sarcastic and unfortunately rude. A proper “Karen” keep up the good work the rest of you lovelies Thank You. Joe your family must be proud of the person you are

Always such a lovely place to go to eat and the food is always tasty. There is one lad called Joe who, no matter how busy it is, always has a smile and is so polite, he really is a credit to stonehouse. I definitely recommend The woodend to people who want to chill and eat in a cozy environment.

We visited the Woodend last night for tea on the way back from shopping at McArthur Glen (approx a 7min drive) and are so glad that we did. We arrived for about 8pm and there was plenty of choice on the carvery option. We ordered 2 carveries and 3 burgers, but theres calzones, pizzas and Fish n' chips on the menu if you'd fancy. We all enjoyed our meals and found it was great value for money and tasted great too. We went away as 5 very happy and full customers. We wanted to all give special thanks to the team working last night as every member of staff was incredible, nothing was any bother for any of them and were friendly at every interaction (Keeley, Joe, Evelyn, Lauren, Matt and Dec). Hoping to come back soon. Lovely pub, with a warm & friendly atmosphere

Had a lovely carvery. Just what we needed after a full day's work. Wasn't too busy, and the food was lovely!

First time at this pub for a carvery. Table for 6 booked for 1.30pm and table was ready. Nice staff looked after us well and the food was really superb. 3/5 for atmosphere as it was early Saturday afternoon but no complaints at all.

Worst carvery ive had delivered, items missing and apparently they don't do refunds, stay well clear i will not be returning

I have had a lot of Sunday lunches in my 60+ years, the one at The Woodend is one of the best I have ever had

Me and my partner stop off here .most Fridays after shooting range nextdoor. The staff are attentive happy and very kind and friendly and always welcome my friends and make them too feel part of the atmosphere the place is spotless toilets smell wonderfully clean although it's very busy the staff are always friendly and make sure your wait isn't too long. The Breakfast is delicious as well as lunch and very affordable they also have disabled facilities too the manager and sister are very friendly especially with my partner and the rest of the customer's looking outside in which I like very much my friends my partner always say how much they have enjoyed the day out after visiting the pub and ha ve also took their friends in the evening so yes needless to say we will be coming here for many years to come 👍

Melt in the mouth beef on the carvery today

Have been here multiple times, always on a Sunday morning. Staff are always friendly & quick to serve. Food is always topped up and never have to wait in a long queue. Food it top notch and is our favourite place for breakfast!

Visited yesterday for the carvery with my son and his fiancé. The place was his idea, he'd not been before but he said from what he'd seen it looked okay. He'd obviously not read the Google reviews first. The best thing about the place was the Brewdog Wingman on draft, I like a tangy IPA. Although the meats tasted ok and texture good the portion size wouldn't satisfy a 4yr old. I had the biggest serving they do and literally with the 3 meats served, Ham Turkey and Beef combined there must've been about 3oz of meat on the plate. My son was in the queue a few places behind me, when he returned to the table his portion was overflowing with meat, probably about 18oz. Now he'd paid the same and ordered the same as me so all I can surmise is the server loads up your plate depending on his mood for you. That's the only explanation. Both my son and I are big chaps over 18st, so I'm wondering what the pitiful excuse could've been? If your face doesn't fit? The bar staff were friendly enough. The toilets, recommend you go at home first. Before you say "we'll pass along your comments" I wouldn't bother as you've replied the same thing quite a few times, so that obviously makes no difference.

Very good carvery dinner. Excellent service. Nice old English pub

Me and my partner often enjoy our time here. Staff are lovely and efficient and Lauren who makes our meals always provides quality food for both breakfast and dinner.🍕

A very nice village type pub with free ample car parking, disabled spaces available. The premises is wheelchair friendly. Outside seating is available. Food is self service for adequate portion sizes. Child meals are available. All ages welcome, highchairs are on hand if required. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Very clean toilets that are frequently checked. The pub is situated on the A57 near to the M1 motorway between Worksop and Chesterfield. The pub itself is in the picturesque village of Barlborough which also boasts a beautiful Church.

Warm welcome backed up with great quality, reasonably priced food. Helpful staff and an amazing selection of food and drinks. Would highly recommend.

Staff always polite and friendly.

Very few staff. Service was very slow.

Had a lovely visit, a lovely carvery and our server Evalyn was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Will definitely come back! 😊

Had a fantastic experience here! We were looked after by Evalyn who couldn't have been more helpful. Will definitely return 😄

Service with a smile from Evalyn! 👍
