Tried to overcharge us. They claimed they forgot to charge for a round, although they make you pay before the drinks are served. They ended up sorting it out, but not worth the hassle. They ended up refusing service for their lack of competence.

Paul was an absolute gentleman, so outgoing and friendly. Thank you

Fantastic pub, great mojitos, great food, rooms are lovely but most importantly we love Paul. Had the best time staying here. Will def come back. Thank you so much for having us xx

£3 a pint, arguably best deal in london for happy hour

Really clean room you can open the window excellent friendly helpful staff discount for guests for food Perfect well priced Thank you

i had excellent service from the bar staff, the atmosphere here is perfect relaxed and chill, havnt tried the food but very eager

I used to really really love the food here, but every time I've gone recently its been awful. Had breakfast and they put this horrible guacamole on everything, I didn't even know it was possible to make guacamole taste bad. I used to love both the fish and chips and the vegetarian burger there. Both are terrible now. Sad. They must have changed their chef or other staff who knew how to cook. Even the coffee is bad now, somehow.

Excellent Sunday roast ! Good atmosphere and well enjoyed!

Had a delicious Sunday Roast, Roast Chicken and a Roast Beef with a child’s Roast Beef. Service was so friendly and hospitable and the food was delicious! Great portions and tasty Yorkshires!! Definitely will be back!

We recently held our wedding celebration at the Woodman and could not fault anything about their service, food and how easy it was to arrange. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about hosting events and really helped us making it really easy to arrange. Having a few rooms above the pub for those travelling was very useful too. We had an amazing day and all our friends and family had the best time - thank you!

Food was tasty and good portions. Service was good. Good atmosphere. Clean. Nice pub.

Great Guiness great pizza , friendly staff , a great Bar, inexpensive, looking forward to going again

Great pub been a couple of times and the staff both times have been excellent.

It’s a pub not a hotel. Great food and drinks. Garden is awesome.

Visited early evening for food and drinks. Previously have enjoyed visits there,good food good choice. However everything from warm proseco which we sent back ..head waitress was very good when we complained and charged us no service. Food wise it was all pretty basic and chips that came with burgers were pretty bad. So all in all not what we expected. We would go back for drinks but stay clear of food. Shame as the food used to be good they must have changed their chef.

We recently hired The Woodman for my brothers 50th Party. The staff were absolutely amazing, they went above and beyond to help and made everything so easy. Thank you so much.....would definitely recommend this venue for private hire.

Rooms are TINY, no ability to control temperature. Literally on top of a pub. They sold out the pub for a private party with the worst music pumping until well past midnight! And we got locked in!

LMR soul party event was great yesterday Saturday 8thh June

We loved this place! Especially Ana's attention! She was very kind and attentive! Besides, the place is very cool and very stylish!

I really enjoyed going to the pub until the hygiene rating dropped to a 2/5.

We booked 2 rooms for 4 people for 4 nights, with our friends in the room last night bugs were in bed. The floor in the room and bathroom was dirty and smelled unpleasant. The owner was not seen after the check-in or as soon as you paid. We were told that the rooms are not cleaned every day, which in itself is not a problem, but in the 4 nights the towels were not changed or the rooms were cleaned. On the very first day we noticed that the bedding has probably not been changed since our predecessors, as it was full of stains. In addition, the room carpet has not been cleaned and the sun protection hung down at the roof window. There were blood stains in the bathroom that were not wiped away. This accommodation is not recommended! We booked 2 rooms for 4 people for 4 nights, our friends' room had bugs in their bed last night.

Unfortunately, this accommodation cannot be recommended!

Had a Sunday lunch.....although seems popular....I thought rather disappointing considering the price....I'm sure also it was reheated.. £17+ frozen potatoes..... not worth it I would not recommend!!!

Excellent experience! We attended a friend's birthday party and everything was lovely. Nice back garden, very cosy. Service was very rapid and staff were very kind. I will definitely visit you again. 😁

A heart of the community pub, the Woodman is a simple, no frills pub offering a selection of keg beers and DoomBar for those that prefer a pint from a cask. This is also a hotel, if you wish to stay. A birthday being celebrated today, so quite busy. I enjoyed a good pint.

Great fun with the pool table and darts - staff are fab!! Will come again with the whole fam 😎🫨❤️

The best pub I've ever been to, I recommend it. Ana and Paul are excellent people. 😍

We stayed 2 nights @ standard double room (#202) Reception: Friendly and good explanation how to unlock the door. After, we did not see them again. When we left, the reception was dark. It felt like they don’t care about guests once they collected money. Room: Very tiny loft conversion. Not much space to move due to slope roof. Stained carpet, broken insulation door, a hanging cable, a stick ring out TV corner (easy to bump your head. No safety?) very disappointed. Shower room: Decent size and not bad shower. Toilet flush is random. Quite often no flush at all. No toiletries, no daily cleaning and no changing towels. Not very good service, except some discounts in the pub below.

Beautiful and Scenic, Thank you!

Se volete vivere una vera esperienza londinese, vi consiglio di soggiornare in questo stupendo pub, situato a Wimbledon Park (zona 3 della metro). Innanzitutto partiamo dagli aspetti più comodi e utili: 1) Fermata bus 156 di fronte il pub (utile per chi viene da Gatwick), 2) A pochi passi dalla metro District Line, in 50 Min si è nel pieno centro di Londra, 3) La comodità di sorseggiare una birra o un cocktail la sera o al rientro dalle lunghe passeggiate, con la scontistica riservata agli ospiti della struttura. Infine ma non per importanza, la proprietaria è super disponibile, simpatica e cortese. Una vera esperienza londinese. La stanza confortevole situata al primo piano, con cassaforte, set per thè, phon, kit cortesia. È possibile usare il wifi. Consigliamo la struttura anche per il buon rapporto qualità/prezzo, non è facile trovare una stanza nuova, pulita in una zona tranquilla a Londra. Per la colazione ci sono diversi bar nella zona (anche uno gestito da italiani) e un supermercato a pochi passi. Un grazie per aver reso unico il nostro soggiorno Da Daniele e Umberto

The pub is perfect for drinks, Sunday lunches, a game of pool or to watch a football game. This is why we chose it for a private function, Ana and Molly were absolute superstars in helping us plan and execute a gathering, where the drinks flowed, the food was delicious and plentiful and all of our guests commented on how good everything was. Thanks to the whole team. Highly recommended.

Had a fab lunch after the Warrington game . Paul really looked after us . The food and atmosphere were amazing. We would definitely recommend this place for food and music and sports.

Fantastic ! Had a great pint with freind !! Great pint of doom bar !, polished it off , great Friday treat !! Great ! Will be coming back ! Great customer service !!! 100% !!

Had a wonderful evening, first time at this pub. Live band. Everyone so happy and friendly. The bar staff worked their socks off all day and all night. Anna and Paul were first class in hospitality and customer service, wish they lived near me i would be in there every night! Anna and Paul you are stars!!!!!!!

Brilliant and friendly service, great Sunday Lunch, lovely environment. What more can you ask for? We really recommend the strip beef Sunday lunch. Really tender and tasty and the accompaniments were brilliant too.

It’s an amazing pub! Wonderful staff! Ana is super friendly and always takes care of you! New pool table and dart board is a great touch. Food is always delicious and every night has a different theme which is so fun! P.S. love the new pizzas on the menu 10/10 would recommend!

Been to the pub a load of times over the years for football either England internationals or before/after Wimbledon games. I have now learned they are hosting Franchise fans for the game tomorrow, therefore you have lost a customer and I know I am not the only one.

Ordered a chicken burger and it had curry seasoning on the chicken which put me off, womp womp -BH Skinny fries were ok, not enough in a side though. - LH Absolutely class skinny fries, I mean I’m a fan of a good old chip but that was absolutely exceptional, brilliant from all. thanks Chef, up the barra soccer - LP

Sono innamorata di questo posto!

Been here a few times. Love the vibes. They have 2 for 1 cocktails on Friday nights, and I can't lie, the Long Island Ice Teas are bloody gorgeous. The lady behind the bar, Molly, is obviously an experienced mixologist. I've watched her perfectly craft the best drinks for an ever grateful crowd. The clientèle is pretty great here, too. It feels like a close family unit of patrons there, that know each other's names. Great vibes, great drinks, a fun night.

I went there just after new years for a quiet pint, ended up watching the Darts Championship with Fabian and Molly. Amazing service from them both, they made my time engaging and a lot of fun.

Friendly bar staff. Good beer. I love the tables. Enjoyable experience.

Great atmosphere on Christmas Day. Paul was absolutely fantastic too

Had Xmas dinner here. Great service. Fab food. There was an issue with the pre order, the staff were absolutely fantastic with how they dealt with the situation. Merry Christmas :)

I love this pub .I always feel so welcome by both staff a regulars. I have 2 dachshunds who are also loved and spoilt with treats. All the staff are friendly. I've got to know Amy and Anna very well they are kind and always make my day .Great place to go x

An okay pub for a drink, had live music which was nice, but wouldn't eat here again, food was nothing special.

Went there on Friday 8th December 14 of us. Would not be going back there. Unfortunately it was the only pub that was not booked up after trying a few this pub was still not booked up and could accommodate 14 of us. First impression was good but as soon as I got served by the barman who looked very smart and was pretty old it went downhill. Put it bluntly he was very rude. Food was very basic and over priced for what it was. Only good thing they had a singer she was good. As said all 14 of us would not return and definitely would not recommend.

First time coming into the pub and was served by a excellent worker named Amy who made my time at the pub 10 times better quick and easy service with a cheerful attitude would definitely come again

Nice place to drop into after the AFC Wimbledon match, good beer at a decent price

Great place to go before watching AFC Wimbledon lose!

Don't agree with dogs inside pub trying to have conversation.jumping round on seats barking.came out for social drink.wont be going there again

Shocking service,, no beer, unfriendly staff,,, was supposed to warmly welcome away supporters...far from it... any other away supporters avoid this pub with a barge pole..

Great friendly service, good pub food. Lovely evening in lovely surroundings.

Good choice of beer and quick service. Not much of an atmosphere, though, plenty of tvs around, so good for that.

Went there for a wake and was a nice atmosphere and staff very helpful

Nice pub in a nice location - shame about the service, can't remember the last time I left a pub because there was no-one behind the bar to take an order

Great food, fabulous selection of drinks. Added bonus of many discounts throughout the week too as well as lowered prices if you're staying at one of their great rooms. About which, the quality of fixtures is great - rooms even come equipped with a fridge but then no light switches for bedside lamps, how bizarre! Staff are absolutely great - always attentive and welcoming! Added bonus of being a very short walk away from Wimbledon Park.

Everything was amazing. Especially the staff and the food; and the beer of course! Definitely our favorite accommodation in London. We are going to be back for sure!

Loved the place and vibes. The owners are supernice and helpful. Rooms were beautifully done, neat and clean. They made sure our stay was confortable. Food is good too. 100% recommend the place!!

Stayed here on my own for 2 nights while attending a work course nearby. Good food in the pub and the hotel room was very clean. Everything you need in the room. My only issue was I couldn’t get the wifi and when I connected to the pub one it kept dropping. Would stay here again.

We booked a last minute trip to London and I came across the Woodman whilst looking for somewhere to stay. My husband and I hand never been to that area of London so we were keen to see it. It was about a 3 minute walk from the tube station. Check in was quick, but the door locks are very high tech and I’m sure some people will have problems with them. The room was very clean and modern, and we got 30% off in the pub because we were staying there. We would definitely return here because we met one of the nicest staff, called Paul, who was so friendly and informative about the area. The Woodman are lucky to have such a nice member of staff. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Nice and warm place people are very friendly drinks are at an affordable price

Revisited after 3 years. Great pub and atmosphere

Thank you for the hospitality shown towards the Stockport County fans yesterday. And a special mention for the state of the men’s toilets, which was very nearly immaculate!

We held our sons 1st birthday party at the Woodman last weekend and it was an incredible day. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to make the day so special. They sectioned off an area for our guests and allowed us to put up decorations as we pleased. I wasn't sure how much food to order but in the end, we had more than enough and everyone raved about how great it tasted. I bulk bought 6 bottles of wine which they gave me a great discount for too. Overall, I would happily book the Woodman for another event. The quality of food and alcohol for the price charged, especially for the area, was superb. Thanks again for a memorable day!

Week 3: the booze tube ,around our world on a freedom pass: Measures are 25ml or 50ml so English More dog groomers than pubs,but we found the woodman and it's lovely here . Amy was the perfect host and even though there was drizzle outside ,inside just us dribbling our beer Amy chose our next station on the random app and it's......... Bayswater !

Lovely pub good atmosphere with live singing on the weekends.

Fantastic pub for away fans visiting Wimbledon FC

Great pub, perhaps one of my favourites in London. Paul, who was on shift the two days we went, was great and made the place feel nothing at all like London.. friendly and local! Pints were good, and well priced on happy hour (!!) and the pub quiz was great too on the Tuesday.. all I’ll say is that the poor pub quiz master needs a microphone, because he had to shout pretty much all evening!

We were at the Woodman for Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday. Sadly the vegetables with our otherwise tasty roast lunch were cold when it arrived which rather spoiled the day. The problem was fairly quickly rectified and replacement hot vegetables were served, and a nice touch of a discount applied to the bill. There was a little lack in attention to detail - friends who ordered sharing chicken wings - which were perfectly good - were not given plates to eat from and we had to ask for serviettes. In all a reasonably priced meal but a little more care could have been taken.

Friendly service and comfortable chilled atmosphere. Tasty and filling food.

Great pub and very efficient staff 👍

A good place where we were celebrating the beginning of our holidays 🍻 The quiz night was also so good, but the questions were too difficult. 😮‍💨 The food was amazing too 🍔

This pub has so many going for it, the staff really go out of there way to make you welcome. The pub hold regular events, I particularly enjoy the soul nights, great fun.

Sehr schöner Pub und sehr gute Anbindung zur Innenstadt

Great pub, always worth a visit

This pub was quite good but did lack the cozy feel of traditional pubs. More of a casual restaurant feeling. The young lady that was working behind the bar was obviously new but she was great. Very polite and really friendly. Food was a bit average, which isn't bad but certainly isn't worth making a special trip for. Overall a solid 4 star place in my opinion

unbelievable pub, unbelievable club sandwich, unbelievable shawtays ! would recommend to all my friends

Best pub in Wimbledon ! Great food and even lovelier staff

Good choice of beers, good menu and very friendly.

Very friendly staff, had a lovely meal there

Went with people from work. A nearby pub with a happy hour for beers. Stayed outside in the rain but under cover. Its ok. Difficult to park.

Excelenye comida, bem limpo e organizado. Recomendo tomar uma guinness, mas qualquer opção que você selecionar vai ser uma boa escolha. Dias quentes tem um ambiente bem agradável na parte externa.

Went for a quick drink. Very friendly bar staff - and Amy was wonderful.

Great little pub, fine food, great staff.

Excellent staff and great selection of activities on different nights (Quiz night, Open Mic night, Sky Sports)

Stopped in mid afternoon and they had tons of vegan choices. #lucky

Very warm and inviting place. Jerry who is the manager was fantastic. Food is outstanding, and the prices were reasonable. We will be back soon!

Service was brilliant, food was amazing. The only downside is a funny smell in the toilets that lingers for a while. Other than that a great place.

been going here for a good few years had no problems before until now .staff friendly and kind they couldnt do more manager well its meant to to dog friendly ?he has his favorites im not the only one who thinks so he needs to learn dogs bark !

Lovely atmosphere. Nice and friendly staff.

Had a lovely time! Good service and a overall a decent pub. Could do more/ better Vegan options.

A beer and a good feed for a £10 before the football. You’d pay double the coin at AFC Wimbledon and it wouldn’t be as good😃

Great place to watch a live game with multiple screens available. Camden Beer on tap, what not to like!

Pleasant pub offering food and a good array of drinks. Quite spacious and very relaxing. The staff were very nice too.

Good & modern irish pub in Wimbledon

Lovely staff, nice food, apart from the burnt sausages although my friend did say she wanted them well done,

Great evening. Soul night. 👌👍

Lovely venue with inside & out side seating , food area, great dance floor space, fab evening dancing

Soul club night. Great music. Great night, bad head 😁🙃🤘👍Great staff
