Can't go wrong with a woodies mixed grill. In yesterday with the fam. And everything was again 10/10. My mum was absolutely made up with her fish and chips too. Best fish she's had. Only complaint she had was the lack of curry sauce 🤣 but she soldiered on without and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Massive shout out to chefs Paul and Terry(Terri?)

Delicious! (Ordered via Deliveroo). Hot, on time, everything was accurate and intact, everything tastes fresh, portions were generous! Only thing I would add is a lemon wedge and also more sauce for the fish and chips, mushy peas were so tasty too. Chicken wings were seasoned beautifully-I ate it without sauce(which is rare for me). There’s a kick to the Tikka Masala too, which I love! Nothing to complain about. I will be recommending everyone here. Wished my favorite places like Nandos and McDonald’s could do their job properly like this place does, they always leave something out, or the bag tears and everything falls out. I’m very impressed. I hope the managers/owners read this. Thank you so much. Finally a place where the price is reasonable for the quality and quantity. My friends and colleagues will hear about this. Thank you again, for putting genuine care and heart into your business and food and not be a rip off/greedy owner like a lot of places now.

Rubbish service, staff rude, forgetting to make drinks after serving us, waited an extra 10 minutes at bar other customers then got their drink. Got apology but then because of another customer saying to pay together to be quicker and I told her to mind her own business as the staff actually forgot to make our drinks in the first place, the woman then refused to serve us any further.

Well, what to say arrived at 19.35 and ordered drinks and food, sitting at our chosen table, we found it cold as all the radiators were stone cold. By 20.25, despite continually asking at the bar how long the food would be, we gave up and requested a refund. In all honesty, the woodland appeared very quiet and nobody in our part of the pub was eating, At no point were we approached by any any staff to explain any service delays, despite them being aware of our table number and pending order, overall probably the worst dining out experience we have faced. We were offered a complementary drink but driving so couldn't except. We have been to many sizzling pubs, and previous experience led us to believe that we could experience good value food in a timely manner, but how wrong can you be? In conclusion, following our experience, we are extremely unlikely to return to the Woodland.

The food used usually is good but today im struggling to give it 1 star. The wrong meal turned up, the steaks that was suppose to be 1 medium and 1 rare both turned up like bullies, as did the gammon. Also one of the steaks was pure grisaille. In general it was awful, the food wasn't cheap so you expect them to use quality product. So disappointed

Visited this pub to watch man utd v Fulham. Didn't eat Needed a toilet break so went into bar toilet (male) Found it full so flushed but no movement,wee all over floor Had to rush to other side of pub to not much of a prettier site, I approached duty manager as to who I can get in contact with and her response was I'll deal with it, do you want free drinks on me??? After deliberation I asked her to blank off the toilets that wernt working so nobody else with IBS gets caught out, I seen her push a member of staff into gents toilets with tape, I don't know if he closed loos off Owner of pub " give your head a wobble" Vanessa "duty manager" you're better than this place

Service was amazing . The lady that served was lovely and made sure we got reimbursed for the food issues. Food was very disappointing overall. The steak was well over cooked and they left the end of the lettuce on the plate There were brown bits on the salad and onion skins on the plates. Also they changed the salad completely from a superfood salad to a basic salad, which isn't great at all.

I have highlighted the state of your toilets in a previous post, you replied “much has changed’, really? Visited last week, and I can tell you that you need to sack your cleaner. See image. (That’s filth, built up over months and months) Btw, is this the same cleaner that’s cleans the kitchen? On my review, around 8 months ago, I sat at a tall table that is by the entrance. There was a piece of chewing gum stuck to the wooden menu stand, I took a photo of it durning THAT visit. On my visit last week, I took a nosy look at the same table, and after comparing images of then and now, I noticed the EXACT same piece of gum was still there. Your menu pages were even sticking together. Your hygiene standards are disgustingly. In case anyone thinks, “well don’t go there then”. I only visit as part of a group of friends who prefer this pub. No food. just drinks.
