The starters were amazing, if you like garlic, defo get the garlic prawn, very garlicky! My partner got the steak and he enjoyed it, the peppercorn sauce was slightly salty we think. I ordered the confit duck leg and sadly some part of the meat was quite dry which I couldn’t chew it, a bit disappointed on it, cuz I was looking forward to it. We shared the cheesecake at the end, not bad, better to share, cuz I don’t think I could finish it myself cuz it’s a bit heavy, tastes good tho. Extra point is I like the atmosphere there, very cozy and lovely pub. I’d go back again for drinks only maybe

Good old style traditional country pub with bags of history and character. Good honest food at very reasonable prices. We have been a few times for Sunday lunch. Parking can be tight when really busy

Excellent steak, very well cooked. The peppercorn sauce is certainly recommended. The side salad was still very rocket heavy, great if that's your thing, be cautious if not. The beer battered cod, lamb shank, salmon and chicken burger are also excellent. Well worth a visit, and the website gives the menu and prices.

Delicious food. However, was not felt welcomed. The manager (I assume, the man in charge) had a stern unfriendly face. He didn't speak to us. He was piolte, but not chatting.....the waitresses were friendly enough. We had to change a chair because my friend had a bad back, he wasn't impressed. Such a shame, for us it ruined the environment.

Great chef and authentic French proprietor who cooks a mixed French/English menu. Good casual pub atmosphere and didn't feel at all awkward taking children.

A good restaurant pub. Refurbished cleanly after many years (the 20 year old carpet was the first thing the new folkes removed). Excellent pies and well presented steaks. Vegetables uninspired but pleasant

Let me just say, the food was pretty good obviously a good team in the kitchen, not too long a wait and all very well presented. This is however where my praise finishes. It appears that even if you pre book a large group to eat on a quiet Saturday lunchtime you will not be given the best of receptions. We decided for ease of everyone to pay separately for our drinks at the bar this was not taken well and a frosty response from the woman at the bar made it clear we were already not doing things the way she wanted. Food orders were taken shortly after followed by an arm to the face as cutlery and sauce pots were pushed past us in no polite manner. Once our meals were delivered we were left alone to eat, no service followed. After our meals we decided to pay up individually so we all paid for what we ordered. At the bar. All was well until one of our group decided to ask if a service charge had been added, the reply was from the landlord of yes it had. Our group member asked for it to be removed in a polite manner as he explained it should be down to the customer to pay this not automatically. Having worked in pubs for many years myself this is a perfectly reasonable request, the fact we did most of the service for them by going to the bar to pay and get our drinks and no follow up after food served, meant the service charge of 10% not even shown on receipt, deceiving customers who leave a tip not realising the service charge has also been added. The landlord flew off the rails calling my group member a F@#king W!@#£er and a horrible man many times infront of the other customers, raging and abusive behaviour followed when he cornered my group member outside the pub as we were leaving. This behavior was so unacceptable and unbelievable, towards a man in his late 60s who never raised his voice once. So to all potential customers check your receipt before you leave the establishment and for a bill breakdown brace yourself for a full torrent of abuse before you are kicked out of the pub because of a service charge they have not declaired properly. Never visiting again!!!!

The Woodman Inn is one of my favourite places to visit. The food is always outstanding and Francois is a friendly yet professional host. The lamb shank was delicious.

I booked a Saturday lunch for 14 of us (8 adults and 6 kids aged 7-16) at less than a week's notice. As we were a large group we were asked to pre-order our starters and main courses by the day before (by email), which made the experience much smoother for us as well as the staff - the food arrived promptly and we didn't have to interrupt our chat with food decisions. All the food was excellent, freshly made and well worth the price, and service was welcoming and prompt without feeling rushed. We had a corner of the pub to ourselves with some extra seating so the kids could play games and chat once they'd finished eating. A number of us had desserts / coffee too which were similarly delicious. It has a lovely old country pub feel and everything including the loos was scrupulously clean. I really couldn't fault it in any way - it was a wonderful lunch and the whole experience from booking to departing was pleasant and easy. It's not always simple to manage this with such a large group, so thanks to everyone at the Woodman!

We stopped here for a drink whilst out walking. Nice decor and atmosphere but the range of beer available was a bit disappointing, maybe we came on a day where stocks were low?

Lovely pub in a very attractive village (look out for the thatched cob walls). Warm welcome in the pub, good selection of ales and well prepared food. The menu may look a bit limited (burgers and salads) at first glance, but hides a wide range which suited all tastes in our group.

Quite the poorest value fish and chips I have tasted in a long time. The extortionate price of £10 was not reflected in the quality of the regular-sized meal I ordered, nor in the surliness of the individual who served me. The piece of fish was not freshly cooked. The batter was thin and the contents were dry and unpalatable. I had to throw the meal away. I feel that a score of 2 is over-generous as there were few-if any-redeeming features.

I called them at 17:05 to place an order for myself for delivery. I tried to explain the delivery address as some people have a job to find it for some reason (especially in the dark) but she didn't want to know and cut me off! I then called them at 18:12 to check where my order was and she told me it had left....I live 8 minutes away but due to having a drink I had to get it delivered! It arrived at 18:30 and it was slightly warm! (The only thing that was still hot was the curry sauce!) My prawns were soggy and to be honest I couldn't be bothered to phone up and send it back I say clearly made it clear they weren't interested when I phoned it 18:12! I generally have no issues with the food and especially when I collect it myself as It's nice and hot. I'm just annoyed as this is not the only occasion it's happened but slightly warm food isn't great and when you're spending over £25 you clearly want hot food! I walked down my drive and waited for the delivery driver. When she turned up she had a passenger that was holding my food just in the carrier bag. It wasn't in a insulated bag which it should have been which might have kept it hotter than it was. They seem to be quick enough to take your money, but they deliver your food in a poor way. The lady who delivered it was pleasant enough but my food wasn't delivered in the proper manner and it spoiled my meal.
