Me and my dad came here for Sunday dinner. We asked the lady if this pub was dog-friendly and our experience confirmed that it couldn’t have be more so. For example, this same lady brought out pieces of spare meat from the kitchen for the dogs which, being insatiable labradors, was perfect. All the staff were extremely accommodating and polite, for example manoeuvring around the dogs a little to serve our food when it arrived. The food was exactly what I was craving after a nice walk in the countryside just outside York. All round I had a great day with my dad and the pub did an excellent job of facilitating this and making me feel welcome.

I have been to 2 funeral after services at this pub and am appalled, the first one elderly people arrived whom are in their 90s and it was closed , waited outside and rude landlady told them off for been early? We are not open yet she said , the buffet was the worst I have ever had , everything in the sandwiches we couldn't eat, mustard, pepper, horseradish with them all , few bits fish and cheap lemon drizzle , both times and I warned several friends who were going and all commented how un inviting the landlady is and buffet the same and horrible , avoid booking after a funeral please

First visit today with friends. Fantastic food. Excellently presented. The pub is decorated for Christmas and looks fabulous. We will be back in 2025. I had the soup and venison sausages-just great. My husband had the pie, one of our friends had the posh fish pie and her husband the gammon. Everyone was happy with their choices.

La decoración es agradable, pero con la excepción de un miembro del personal que trabajó duro, el servicio era terrible. Esperó tanto tiempo para que le sirvieran bebidas, comida y luego la factura, todo lo cual tuvo que ser solicitado varias veces. El personal era muy joven, así que tal vez en entrenamiento. La comida estaba bien, pero mucho mejor comida en los lugares locales.

Overall just ok - the service was very friendly and attentive and the food was well presented but it was very much style over substance. Most of us found our food to be quite bland, though they were very apologetic about one meal that went unfinished and took it off the bill, which was appreciated. A few vegan main options available but no vegan desserts

Interesting I went last night and I loved the place. Young waitress was so smiley and friendly and made me feel welcome. And the food delicious. So as I am in a campervan alone at nearby campsite I decided to go again. Different waitress. And the manageress who was also on duty last night seemed to be in a bad mood and boy was it felt. The young waitress did not yet have the skills to realise being a bit friendly especially to a woman eating alone is the way to be, and the way to get a tip. The manageress was rude she even took the salt off my table to give it to someone else and then plonked it back on my table as though I wasn’t there. Unbelievable. And the food tonight was just average pub food. But it was the general rudeness of the way she served me and not even acknowledging that I had been the night before. Bad management I felt.

Came off the A64 looking for a nice pub for lunch last month. The Woodman was a wonderful find. It was early and they quickly accommodated us. The 2 waiters were welcoming, very pleasant and attentive. We enjoyed a well kept and great local beer while choosing our food. There was so much more to the menu than we realised, as so many items were completely cooked from scratch. The fish goujons were stand out! We loved the variety of sharing platters and chose the ‘From the sea’ one as our starter and had lots of great main courses to choose from. We each had a lovely meal freshly cooked and with perfect vegetables. We were not rushed and had great service throughout - nothing was too much trouble. Thank you 🤩

Visited while on a short break to celebrate our anniversary. Could not have been more disappointed. We both ordered steak which was so tough as to be virtually inedible. No-one asked us how our meal was. and when we came to pay, the hostess was indifferent to our presence, did not ask if we had enjoyed our meal, did not even smile, just handed me the bill. I should have complained, but did not want to spoil our anniversary any more than the experience already had.

Only stared 3 for atmosphere as we were sat outside, but I'm sure it's great. Food was excellent cooked to perfection, we had the Sunday lunch. I would advise to book though, we went spurr of the moment and it was busy with Food and were hosting a christening party, we arrived 1.50 and had to wait until 2.30, then Food arrived after about 20mins later. We certainly will go back again. The staff and Bar lady can't be more helpful.

A disappointing meal compared with our visit last year. The steaks were tough and the starters of garlic prawns and chicken wings tasteless. We had to ask 3 times for water to be brought to our table even though we asked for it when we ordered our wine. Fish and chips were good however but probably won’t be rushing back as there are plenty of other pubs/restaurants to try in the village.

Second visit here for lunch after a shopping trip to York. Got a table straight away as it was quite quiet. Drinks were served again at the perfect (cold) temperature for lager and white wine. We ordered our mains and the landlady actually remembered us from last time and that I had ordered the same meal (the lovely mixed grill)…it was early October the last time we came here so that is certainly a good memory for customers! As last time, good food served fresh and a bit of local background from the friendly landlady ( told me all about the ice sculpture trail in York which was happening that day). Can’t fault it!

Have visited this Pub many times over the years and after our son visited recently and came back with a glowing report I decided to pay a visit after a long absence and try it myself again. On entrance a smiling reception from the ladies behind the bar was a brilliant start, there is a good range of beers and lagers on offer , myself opting for a pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord bitter which was excellent and obviously the Landlady knows her stuff when it comes to keeping and serving beers. The food on offer was varied and not overpriced and veggie options are available. I chose the Steak and Ale Pie and was not disappointed, the pie in short crust pastry was packed with meat, the chips were great along with the garden peas, in short the meal was delicious. It would probably be a good idea to ring and book a table rather than be disappointed if very busy. Good sized car park at the front of the pub and large beer garden at the rear. All in all a great venue, smiling and helpful staff, great beers and great food. What is not to like.

We visited The Woodman as a group of 17 last night to celebrate my son’s 30th birthday. We happily paid a £5 per head deposit & pre-ordered starters & mains. The staff were happy for us to bring balloons & some table decorations & brought my son out a birthday dessert with candles, a lovely touch. The whole evening was fantastic, the staff were brilliant, we had everything we needed & nothing was too much trouble. The food all came out together & was delicious, everyone really enjoyed it. Thank you for making our evening so special, we were able to enjoy celebrating together, while the staff managed our large group with ease. I would definitely return in future.

We booked to bring my Mum for lunch but unfortunately at the last minute she was not feeling well . Husband and I decided as we were in York we would still go for our lunch and so glad we did . We had the farm sharing platter which was amazing value with so much food from 4 thick cut pieces of Ham, sausages in honey scotch egg and an Asian beef that was so good . There were various mixed salads loads of Chunky pieces of bread and a big slice of pate that was too strong a taste for me but my husband enjoyed. I will bring my sister next time to try the fish platter . This is the 3rd time we have shared a meat platter and each time they have been different but all really good value .

Tasteless pate as a starter. Did say which they took of the bill. How ever out main come total over season. The chips where covered in salt was so over power on the whole off our meals. So I said something to the staff who took and just laughed at me. I asked why she was laughing. She said not at you at the situation. No one else said out and I’m the first to complain. Paid £40 for some break and 2 drink as the rest was t edible. Your customer service is completely shocking.

Not the warm welcome we were expecting by the lady with the dark hair , she was abrupt .. bad start … the young man who took orders and brought out the food was nice but didn’t ask if anyone had any allergies which is a standard thing for restaurants nowadays , wait for food after order was taken was 50 mins which was a bit too long in my opinion . I was looking forward to the twice cooked chips but I got some white undercooked chips … the flat iron steak seemed to be cooked well but was tasteless ,we asked for barbecue sauce and salad cream but didn’t have any and they use a pot of sachets for condiments which is a bit cheap for the cost of the meals which in my opinion was overpriced , sorry woodman won’t be returning , very disappointing PS , I didn’t complain on the night because I was in company and too hungry to send it back …

We recently booked the Woodman Inn for the our Aunts Wake. We visited the Inn before booking and were made welcome and given all the information we needed to complete the booking. We rang the week before with numbers and the menu we had chosen. On the day the buffet spread was amazing and there was plenty of it. The fish goujons were especially good as was the lemon drizzle cake. Everyone who attended commented that they enjoy the food and we would definitely recommend a visit. Once people dwindled away, the family stayed and some had an evening meal which again was delicious with good service. We found the staff helpful and friendly, we will visit again

Another lovely meal with friends (and our dog) last night at the Woodman. Comfy cosy atmosphere on a chilly evening. Food was great as always and the staff are welcoming, friendly and well organised. The chef or chefs behind the scenes really know their trade. The bar always looks inviting and has everything and more than you would expect, including a couple of guest beers which change regularly to offer the opportunity for beer drinkers like myself to try some less familiar but always tasty treats. We will be back 😃. Fantastic place. Fabulous food. Owner super friendly and accomodating. Staff well trained, respectful and friendly. Highly recommend this pub. Best pub food in York area.

So glad we found this place. The food was amazing, the waiter/ess were welcoming and always busy. Food was served with a warm smile and interacted with the baby. The lady who runs it, was run off her feet, but still had time to regular talk to all customers and ensure everyone including us were happy and comfortable. Great find!

We visit Bishiothorpe 2 or 3 times a year, mainly for York Races. We always return to The Woodman as the menu/food is outstanding! All the staff work tremendously hard, and this resonates in the warm welcome you receive during your visit. The beer garden...

Came here last weekend with my Parents! We aren't from the area but luckily stumbled upon this little Gem! It was very busy due to the lovely weather and the owner politely told us there may be a 30min wait for food as they were busy, The food arrived after no time and all the staff were helpful and polite! Not to mention the food was amazing! Very accomodating of my parents two dogs too! Can't reccomend this place enough! Lovey atmosphere. Lovely people and amazing food! Will deffinatly be back!

Staff are very friendly but a bit slow. We went upstairs as no seating downstairs but the atmosphere was full of damp air and all windows steamed up with black mould on walls and general cleanliness not good. I think they maybe need more staff here as service slow and empty pots and trays everywhere.

The actual place itself is easy on the eye and comfortable, it’s just a shame the staff have to be so rude, allowing people to push in at the bar and being very abrupt when asked about particular beers, poor attitude from both behind the bar who seemed to be competing for the award for worst attitude, they should take a leaf from their namesake around the corner who have a much better work ethic, first and last visit here…. Not impressed at all !

Popped in for a bit to eat and last time we came here, we had our dog with us and sat outside. This time we were seated up stairs and it’s clean and staff very attentive and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The Yorkshire breakfast was lovely and a bit too much for me, but the poached eggs were the star, perfect and thank you.
