The Woodland in Cheshire West and Chester

Bar staff are brilliant and work really hard.

Good food . Anna is absolutely amazing

Absolutely lovely pub. Popped in for a bit of lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. A lady called Anna was very funny and just made it a good experience. I'll be coming back next time I'm in town.

Delicious food worth every penny. Very pleasant staff. Service was good

Very good atmosphere, thanks to.the bartender Anna, a very nice person 😁

We spent a nice evening with good food, great service and especially Anna 🥰

Cool place, nice atmosphere, great service from Anna

Great budget food, Cheap pints and a nice service. Highly recommended. Courtney, April and Anna were a dream team and made me feel welcomed. As a local I appreciate places like this.

Food was delicious. We had the sizzling salmon and it was to die for. Atmosphere was nice and staff on hand ready to assist with anything. Shout out to Anna who made our visit very special. We will be back. Also great value for money.

Nice place, good food Anna was fantastic.

What a beautiful looking pub. It was my first time there. Courtney and Anna were able to advice me on drinks and food and the meal was delicious. Great chefs and staff and wonderful atmosphere.

I really like coming here.. The food is good and Mrs. Anna who works there is amazing..

Visiting from Australia 🇦🇺 Most warm and welcoming venue Great food and great value Excellent service and attention from Paige and the crew

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?)

All food arrived quickly to our large table and all the staff were extremely helpful.

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.

There was 4 of us ordered food 2 meals came out and was eaten before the other 2 came out was not happy with the excuses it's the time of year and we're busy used to love coming here never experienced this kind of thing before

Went again this weekend and was so impressed again by the value for money and the meals were generous portion.

Not cheap but good value - great staff, comfortable seating in bar and seperate restaurant. Very welcoming.

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.

The pub was packed! It is Friday before Xmas!! Danny found us a table straight away, he was absolutely lovely, bar staff were great, when our food came out, it was gorgeous Courtney was also very nice and helpful

Courtney recommended the gobi Dansak and it was out of this world. Would highly recommend

Came to visit my son and his girlfriend, along with my parents. The food was lovely, mum and dad loved the fish and chips!! Only downside was the delay in the food being served however it was during the 40% off week and it was very busy. Would definitely come again

Amazing food had fish and chips who I believe was cooked by Matthew also service from April were amazing definitely would return

We go often but last few times gammon was awful my husband used to have mixed grill but after a rare steak blood out if it .i had gammon again and again awful and stuff.then to top it all dont knows if she is the manager. But very loud lady then starts shouting from Behind the bar screaming and swearing st a lady customer have no idea what it was over but goes on to run from behind the bar swearing at her shouting.it wasnt very nice to see especially when you have children with you.

Came on 40% off deal. Food was lovely, and staff were amazing, ran off their feet, but still had a smile and made sure everything was to standards Management should be proud

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.

Lovely staff, great food, fabulous atmosphere

Relatively good service, staff friendly, food and drinks competitively priced and reasonable value for money but a 55min wait for our order wasn't reasonable. They're running a 40% off promotion this week, so surely you staff appropriately.

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

I had a wonderful experience here. Vanessa is extremely helpful, food was delicious and all staff extremely pleasant. Will be returning

Courtney and ellie are absolutely amazong love coming in ro see them they make my day

Fantastic staff, excellent food, always have the same when I’m in, can’t fault this place

If I could give this pub 0stars I would she told me to bring my kids up Halloween that was 3 weeks ago for the Halloween party when we got their she told us she had to book a table witch is lies never have to book a table their any other time it took her 10 minutes to come up with that excuse after when we caught her out in lies she told us they have plenty sweets for the kids and staff seem to be very unsteady on their feet

Bar maid insisted I'm gorgeous so I've now got new favourite pub in port

Food is great, especially the sizzling plates, my favourites are bbq beef or salmon. Can be noisy sometimes.

Great. Food and the pub. Back there again tomorrow.

Bit outdated but ok for a beer 🍺🍺 or 2 looks like it needs a good renovation and a bit of a face lift

My meal didn't come with peppers on my VE burger. So disspointed.

Well kept Beer, staff are polite and friendly 🙂.

I use this pub regularly but it could do better in terms of quality to the customers.

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

Would love to give a better review. New offers on staff did not know what they doing not been informed of promotion even though it was on the billboards. The curry we had had at 2 other locations before but this one was like eating magma. Way too spicy

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.

Ordered takeaway from here. Loved the ability to customise items on my order. Wonderful chicken burgers and chips, ready on time. Staff were very friendly.

Food fab as always, nice clean and friendly pub.

Booked a table of 14 and service was brilliant by our waitress

First time back here for a while and it was far better than last time we visited so hats off to you for the improvement.

Woodies as we call is fine for a cheapy, tasty meal. Staff are friendly and helpful

Had a lovely lunch here with my brother. Food was lovely, tasty,and well presented. Staff were really lovely and really helpful. Great experience, thank you 😊

Food was kinda dry and some of the staff weren't very friendly, but the drinks were tasty ... as a traveler I was confused by ordering and different staff instructed me to do different things so I didn't really enjoy my dinner here

Came here last night staff were amazing especially Courtney who looked after us and my kids

Amazing food great staff epically rebecca who goes above and beyond

Good value for money. Delicious food. Friendly staff.

Always do well with the sizzling pubs, and this place didn't let the side down. The food is bang on every time, never over priced for what you get and staff are always friendly. Big place and plenty of parking!

Lived this place better staff Sarah and fal are fab energy through thr roof

It was the nearest local pub/good & cheap place to eat while I was working away from home. Staff friendly and helpful.....especially Courtney who stopped me missing home

I dine here weekly food is fantastic and the staff (especially Sarah) are friendly and welcoming 🙂

Always received a friendly welcome from the staff. Relaxed pub atmosphere.

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.

Just like a WS, food ok at a fair price. Nothing glamorous but ok

Traditional pub with substantial menu of delicious food. Huge drink selection. Great prices. Would return anytime.

Came in for some lunch and some drinks, Indi behind the bar made some really nice cocktails

Came in the other night,Indi and fal were behind the bar they were really friendly and gave some good drinks recommendations

Came in the other day for a meal and drinks with my family, Indi behind the bar was very friendly and rebecca who brought out our food was very helpful and gave some good dessert recommendations

Took advantage of the £11.25 for two meals Mon --Fri deal.( Fish chips pea's) Told45min wait....Came in 15. .. Two Huge battered fish. Nothing shy of incredible value. Coke ( pint) £2.85 So couldnt pull a face at that either. Lovely weekday experience....Thanks .

Don't order online. They won't give you your rewards.

Popped in for a quick tea and I had the steak, was cooked perfect... Really enjoyed it. My hubby had fish and chips and upgraded for £2.50. He had 2 massive battered fish with curley fries and mushy peas. Couldn't fault it. Defo be back for more.

Absolutely love this pub. Our first visit here. Really friendly service from the barstaff and fantastic food. We will be back very soon.

Food was amazing service from Kate and sarah next to none made sure we had everything we needed and made use feel comfortable will definitely be back

Good little place this for a quick bite and a pint really nice waiting on staff to lady with blonde hair very attentive the Saturday 6/4/24 working around 6pm if this is you make sure that management acknowledge your great work. Thankyou

Came in last week for some drinks…The guy at the bar was ace, couldn’t have been nicer even though he was clearly rushed off his feet. Saw a shortish lady with glasses just standing watching whilst playing on her phone. I can only presume she was the duty manager, so a pretty poor show from her, would have been nice to see the kid behind the bar get some help! Felt for the guy behind the bar. Great gin though!

Had fish and chips cheap and cheerful in the afternoon.

Service was great, friendly. Food was served ALL together, on time, nicely cooked and good value.

Consistently good. decent prices

My wife Chris won a meal for two after leaving a comment about their new menu, we turned up with our daughter willing to pay the extra for her meal but the manager would not hear of it in not only did he allow the extra meal he also included all of our drinks.All of our meals were extremely tasty and the whole experience was excellent.I would not hesitate in recommending dining at the woodland .10 out of 10

Thanks for the great service.the team are lovely and so helpful

Great food and drinks. Brian and the team were really welcoming. Not too expensive and definitely a place to go with friends

We come here 3/4 times a week staff are so polite and friendly manager is lovely to talk always get a lovely welcoming wouldn’t go anywhere else love coming here if i could rate them more than 10 i would x

Okay pub for food Our starters were excellent

I went to eat with 3 of my band members. We were well looked after, the food was lovely. What more could you ask for?

Local community pub. Fairly busy on a Friday night. Plenty of parking. Lounge & separate bar. We didn't have any but the food looks cheap & cheerful. Anything you want as long as it's with chips 🙂 Friendly staff.

Great ambience, professional, courteous and friendly bar and kitchen staff, nice location, good selection of competitively priced food and drinks. I'm happy to recommend this establishment.

Good pub - decent pint and the food here is really good and fairly priced. Loads of parking too.

Freshly cooked food, good value for money

The food was amazing. The house sharing platter was great, very tasty the only thing is I wouldn’t have a big meal after sharing it as I didn’t eat my main meal

Staff are lovely,nothing to much trouble xx

Disappointing meal, chips soggy and cold. Burger bun soggy, bacon fatty.
