Lovely homely atmosphere, food arrived hot and delicious , always a decent selection on the menu which has just been revised. Kate ,our server ,was very attentive and helpful (starting up the log fire to help keep us warm) , very welcoming and the life and soul of the Woodman, where nothing is too much trouble. Nikki and Russ say hi, and thanks for another excellent meal and coffee.

Very disappointed with the food and service today. Have eaten here before and they are often short staffed but generally good has been good. Not the case today. We were there to celebrate our mother’s birthday, ordered the rib of beef Sunday roast. Waited 40 years for good to arrive and when it did the roast potatoes were clearly Aunt Bessie style, but edible, just disappointing that they weren’t cooked and roasted freshly. The main issue was the beef which was not only fatty and grisly but was so salty it was inedible, ( and I like salty food normally). We complained to a member of staff who said’ leave it with me’ and preceded to do nothing. After about 20 minutes he had not moved from the bar or come over with a resolution. I complained to who I believe was the manager on duty at the time. I explained we had complained about the food but not had any response, She said ‘ yes, it’s meant to be salty, I’d give you another but it will be the same- I explained that my mother’s wasn’t as salty as ours so may not be the same, the response was , ‘ oh that’s strange- do you want a side dish or something, or I could give you some Turkey? ‘ we declined as we were now over half an hour post food arriving. No apology was received, no refund and no acknowledgment that this was an issue and she should be trying to resolve it . Worst customer service I have experienced for a long time.

I know this pub quite well and it’s fine for a drink with nice bar staff. However Ember Inns should be ashamed of the quality of food they dish up and the fact their pubs are always so understaffed. Last night, the first 4 main courses we ordered were out of stock. I mean what well run pub runs out of all their different steaks, their chicken and pretty much everything else on a quiet Weds night? I eventually had a bacon and cheese burger. The ‘chef’ clearly thought it was ok to serve this with skinny, rock hard fried that were dried out from being under a heat lamp for ages. The burger itself was a cheap patty that probably came from a frozen budget pack. It was topped with a slice of cold cheese. It was served without any cutlery or sauces and when we asked for some the waitress said ‘you’ll have to get it yourself, I’ve got more orders to get out’. The hierarchy and Regional manager at Ember Inns need changing if this is the type of rubbish they are willing to serve their customers and they cannot even have the regular staples on their menu in stock. Go to The Brewery in Ashtead instead

Visited twice this week for a meal and it feels like the heart has been ripped out of the pub. Food is standard pub fair which is what we expect but some real characters in there which is why we visit. They always make you feel welcome and always assist us getting back to the car. Let's hope the bar staff start to assist us as only the gentleman by the door have done in the past.

Not going to lie the atmosphere and venue is really nice. The service though was bad, my son’s meal for £5.49 was just a tiny bowl of pasta so I asked the server if that was it and his response was yeh, that’s it. I spoke to the manager and he sorted it with a manky piece of garlic bread. For the price it’s terrible.

About the worst boozer one could attend. I’m 19, but had no ID and was drinking in a corner with my dad and some random staff member takes it upon himself to come over to me and ID me when I clearly look within age. He then proceeded to take the pint off of the table without asking. What a rude man. Who does he think he is? It’s not his business, nor is it his job to do that. His job is to serve booze, not go out of his own way to prevent someone for having a Guiness with his father. Grow up, stop being tight.

The new menu has some good new food choices and I had the chicken schnitzel however it was a bit over cooked. My husband had the gammon which was fine but unfortunately wasn't able to finish it so decided to take it home. The chef accidentally threw it away and cooked a new one. My concern is the lowering of the alcohol volume of some of your best wine the Shiraz alcohol volume has been reduced to 10.5 which is unhead of for an Australian Red wine. I get that this is occurring with other brands but if you are going to do this why are you not reducing the price accordingly? By doing this you are changing the character, quality and depth of the wine. Other brands are doing this Whitbread, Mitchell and Butlers but are not giving the savings in tax back to the customer which is just not fair.

A large sprawling pub with a big beer garden that I would consider typical of the Ember inns brans. There was loads of comfortable seating inside, with plenty of room to move about and the staff were cheerful and courteous. A couple of large fireplaces are highlights in the main area giving it quite a warm and welcoming feel. The Guinness was excellent as was the London Pride.

Came on Saturday evening, the girl that served us behind the bar was very moody and clearly didn't want to be there she kept huffing and sighing when taking our order...the food wasn't great the mac and cheese side and ultimate burger were really good but nachos didn't have proper cheese on it was like burger cheese or squeezy horrible cheese instead, chips with both mains were stale, cold and tasted old, the half chicken was more like a chicken leg and was very dry , not worth £45!

Experience with a rude staff member. Ordered takeaway delivery - two full meals with extra sides. They gave a delivery driver (who was apologetic) a single burger ONLY which got delivered. Asked for the full meals to be sent including a fresh burger to eat WITH the meal rather than having to either eat it while my wife waited for her meal and I waited for the rest of my meal or had to eat it cold with the rest of my meal when it arrived. Only response received ‘no we can’t give you a free burger’ 30 minutes later, still no rest of the food. Awful customer service to not fix the situation they caused.

so usually go down to Woodman for a easy celebratory meal with the kids usually a birthday and usually quite pleasant and very good value for money but I’m afraid last night Monday, the 8th of April. The best night they’ve stopped doing the nachos that I think were handmade in Howes to a generic nacho so that’s off the order menu now starters were all over the place to finish before others were coming out, and one of the steaks was incinerated rather a medium rare and then was replaced with one that have been shown the grill, but was blue inside. That’s always good value for money, but those little things not right spoiled experience. But to be honest it won’t stop me from going there

Had a great meal with a friend, ordered the mini desert with a coffee through the qr code on menus, when you do this there is no option to choose a coffee, basically paid full desert price for tiny desserts, when we asked about the coffee we were met with rudeness and arrogance from one of the staff members, I was so angry we hurriedly finished the deserts and left, on the way out the manager deliberately stood in my way so I had to walk around him. I've been coming to this pub since I was 8 years old and I'm sorry to say I will never go back again.

Service itself was fine as was the food. However having arrived at 7.45pm we ordered starters and manin courses only to find they stop selling deserts at 9pm. It hardly gives you much time to eat. Fortunately they accommodated us when we ordered deserts at 9.15pm. We were then told at 9.45 that they were closing early at 10pm as it was quiet - like the fact that we were there didn't matter. We were then chased to pay the bill at 10pm, which we did. We were able stay at the table a little longer, but without any drinks, which meant our evening meal wasn't curtailed to just over 2hrs. We then stayed until about 11pm, but somehow someone else arrived and was served 2 pints of lager, way after 10pm. All very odd. Why do these places now just choose to close early. If you've made plans to ho out with friends, a 10pm closing only amounts to a couple of hours - pointless. It was ok, but just that, I can't see us going back in a hurry, not if there's a risk they'll close early just because they fancy an early finish!

Service good, food bad. Crispy prawn sandwich had 3 prawns and came dry. We had to ask for the Marie rose sauce. Server was very apologetic. Prawns had most of the moisture cooked out of them. Shepherds pie tasted ok but was tiny. Cabbage came on the side but hadn't been strained properly, so sat in a puddle of water. £30 lighter and hungrier than when we went in.

Very annoying to find it was quiz night. Really loud questions over the speakers and nowhere in the pub to escape from it. Food was mediocre at best. One meal of half roast chicken was so dry as to be inedible. We received most of the money back for that Three vegetable dishes were badly cooked, either hard or limp.

Was my first today at this pub and My experience was horrible!! First the lady who got my order was in a bad mood. Secondly we wait 45min to get our food ! When 30min passed I asked for my food and the waiter said that they were defrosting the fish fingers! Seriously?!? After 10 minutes they brought me the fish fingers and I told him that we asked for nuggets NOT FISH fingers. After 5 minutes they brought me the nuggets kids meal but this time with peas when I asked baked beans arghh!!!😩 ahhh and of course they forgot to bring my 2 sides. I had to ask for that and they brought it within 5 minutes after 45 min waiting... Ridiculous. I've should asked for a refund. Very disappointed.

Went for an evening meal and was first told there would be a 1 hour wait - not sure whether that was good news or bad. We ordered our food from an uninterested waitress, visibly irritated that we were keeping her awake. The food came quicker than the hour expected however it was average at best - nothing special to distinguish it from everywhere else although 2 of our party did not like their meal but were just too hungry to not eat. The ambience wasn't anything to write home about except, and I don't know if this was planned, the venue felt comfortable enough to eat but uncomfortable enough to discourage staying longer than needed. All in all, average - nothing more and nothing less.
