The Woodmans Cotage in Fenland

I went to the woodmans cottage on Saturday to have a lovely stake snd the waiter was lovely and so kind snd helpful I must say that it is one of the best stakes I've had in a long time.

We came for the Sunday Carvery and were made welcome as soon as we walked in. All four of us had the carvery which had plenty of choice and was delicous. The lady at the bar the lady who came to the table and the chef who served us looked after us very well. Highly recommended and we will definitely be coming again. Thanks to all at the staff at the Woodmans Cottage.

Wow. Very pleased with last nights meal. We were expecting pub grub and received restaurant quality food. I went for the surf and turf which was exceptional and my wife’s fish and chips were better than most chip shops. Additionally the rooms there offer a great nights sleep

We booked this place based upon its location , it was easy to find and we booked two rooms to stay in as a resting point for our journey . Considering its a pub with four rooms the check in experience and knowledge was amazing. The rooms were immaculate and warm , the first time I had been so since leaving my home far south of this. We had a table for six and did not feel the wait between courses was unduly long , it gave us time to digest , drink wine and catch up with old friends. We were not rushed to vacate our table in any way , the staff were absolutely fantastic In the morning a light breakfast was offered which we greatly appreciated and enjoyed. As someone with many years in the facilities and hospitality industry The Woodman's Cottage far exceeded my expectations based upon their price point and Id strongly advise anyone looking for a place to stay to take advantage before they realize just how good they are , kudos to the owners and staff . Thank you Paul C White

Had lunch here, long wait for food service poor, when food did arrive in fits and starts overwhelmed with amount and could not cope. ordered large scampi and chips, no chips only five potato skins/wedges peas you could have used as bullets ten pieces of scampi overcooked. have had sunday carvery before and was very good. this was a complete reversal. never again for midweek.

having not been to the Woodmans for quite some time to eat, but many times to drink. Our “eating” experience was very disappointing from ordering the food to having it delivered to the table. The appearance alone followed by the flavour pallet was absolutely awful. To start the garlic bread was served on sourdough bread, the cheese overcooked and burnt & because it was served on sourdough bread, the flavour pallet was totally an utterly incompatible with the “garlic bread” Now referring to the visual impact of the garlic bread, once placed upon the plate and delivered the table. It resembled something that my dog would excrete after a really rather large meal & was totally & utterly un pleasing to the eye & smelt revolting. We now turn to the main course, my wife ordered Hunters chicken and again the visual impact on the plate was equally as bad as the garlic bread. It looked like something My daughter would’ve excreted in her nappy. When she was a baby the chicken breast was soggy. the bacon was overcooked & burnt, the sauce was bitter and the oval appearance was absolutely disgusting. My wife had one mouthful and that was enough I had the gammon which because it was so dry and overcooked the chef had to soak & smother it in maple syrup to give it a modicum of moisture, the texture and flavour, was utterly revolting. Upon requesting to speak to the Owner, who was in the bar & making himself very obvious to other customers, & also seeing the chef pop out & looking in our direction, I then requested to the server that I may speak to the Owner or the chef to discuss these matters, but neither of them had the courage to come and speak to me in regards to the above matters & I speak from a point of view of being the son of an Owner of a very successful pub for some 25 years, they didn’t have the courage of the convictions to come & speak to a customer about the revolting & disgusting food that they placed in front of us. Also to add insult to injury, they had the total and utter audacity to want to charge us for this revolting assault on our culinary and visual senses. The only plus point of the evening was the servicing staff, I can’t say that of the management they’re just cowardly, but the serving staff were utterly professional. Very kind, warm and welcoming.

We had an amazing Family Dinner on a Saturday afternoon. 9 of us and two of those were children. Service couldn’t do enough for us . New owner was friendly. Wait staff were attentive. Food was freshly prepared (little wait as a result). Tasty, great portion sizes. Highly recommend.

Excellent Sunday carvery, with great friendly welcome. Cannot recommend this friendly little village pub highly enough. Good luck to the new manager- it’s a great start.

This was our first time visiting with the new owners, we had the carvery which was lovely, had everything you could want! The outside looks so much nicer now it’s been renovated too The midweek menu looks great so we’ll be returning to try!

Young enthusiastic team behind the bar and serving, but the menu is dull and boring after a few visits you will struggle to to choose, specials are ok but not anything really special and sometimes remain on the board for 2/3 weeks, pity there are no themed events especially around pay day weekends e.g end of month beginning of month. Could do with a review of main menu been the same for years, perhaps look at 4 menus so they change every 3 months, it’s just standard chili, lasagne, fish and chips, pie, burgers very old fashioned so it won’t draw in new trade for its food or help existing customers who want something a bit different.

From the moment we walked into the restaurant I was greeted with Happy Birthday by a waitress to the service and the standard of of the food every aspect of the evening was excellent. Our party of 10 had a lovely time, thanks very much, i'm sure we will be returning very soon.

Wow what a super pub & restaurant ❤️ First impressions on arrival superb Greeted my a lovely young lady & served drinks by a nice young man tooooo Given menus also offered specials…. A great choice of delicious food Had a lovely afternoon and can’t wait to return when I’m visiting from Spain 🇪🇸 again x I strongly recommend anyone to try xxxx

Stayed at the Pub last night, booked in, which was quick and easy, had a couple of beers in the back bar, which for the middle of the afternoon had a few people in. We put the underfloor heating on, the room was nice and warm by the time we got back from the beers. Nice Hot shower, clean, tidy, nicely decorated, comfortable bed, room nice and quiet. Had a meal in the restaurant, the food was cooked well. My wife had fish and I had a Burger, which was home made and certainly not from some catering pack. The staff we saw when we arrived were different from those we saw at night, the following morning we had breakfast served by another member of staff, every one gave great service and were very friendly, and we were made to feel very welcome, all in all this is great little pub, real value for the money.

Arranged our visit for my sons 18th birthday meal. We stayed in one of the rooms at the back of the pub, very nice, very clean and comfortable. We had a table for five booked and when we arrived we were welcomed very pleasantly. They even decorated the table and part of the walls with birthday bunting. Thoughtful touch. Food was absolutely fantastic, all 5 stomachs content and happy. Prices were very reasonable for the standard of food and service. Staff were friendly, polite and attentive. Ethan the waiter, couldn't have been any better. Breakfast was nice and light instead of a heavy cooked meal which made for a nice change. Overall we had a lovely stay and will certainly return. Thanks to all the staff! :). Jan and Richard

Enjoyed a great evening meal tonight at the Woodmans. Quality food on the wide ranging menu. The sharing platter is highly recommended. Service was brilliant and welcoming A highly recommended venue to visit Well done!

Fabulous ❤️ lovely proper pub with character & warmth of the clear surroundings and staff xxx Plenty of food choices available to suit everyone…. Delicious food x I had the Brie with salad (photo attached) mummy had ham egg & chips Great value for money back again tomorrow to try something else with friends 🥰 Plenty of parking

Visited here today , we had a lovely meal absolutely faultless!. The lovely waitress Claire was very efficient and nothing too much trouble for her. Will return.

Service wasn't great.No gluten free roast available but nut roast was nice. Puddings were cold and we were told no when we asked for them to be warmed up.

Have been quite a few times for carvery, always been really good, but today 19/01/2020, The food was quite cold, yorkshires are normally huge, today flat and stodgy, there were 7 of us, but that's quite normal for us, hope it was a one off

A straightforward pub menu, extremely well executed. I chose prawn cocktail with ciabatta, (a great alternative to brown bread ) followed by a vegetarian tart with sweet potato fries. My partner had pate which he declared was the best he had ever tasted, followed by a perfectly cooked medium rare, tender steak. Very competitively priced. Well done!

We held our daughter's christening reception here recently. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. They helped with the setting up and preparation of the room. They provided a delicious and well presented buffet. We were allowed to decorate and make the room seem homely. Many thanks to all the staff for their kindness and efficiency, and a particular mention to Sharon, Glen and Sahra for their help.

We decided to have an evening pub meal and chose this pub which is fairly local but have not used before. On walking into the pub we were given a warm welcome, we were served almost immediately with drinks and then we sat down at a table to look at the menu. Some of the special items were not available as it was just after the Bank Holiday weekend but what we chose from the main menu was wholesome a filling (Chili con carne and a sirloin steak) we were naughty and had a dessert we shared an ice cream which was full of flavor. The atmosphere was friendly, conversation as the bar was a bit loud but jovial will definitely be returning

Spot on, the starters were great, so good that i wish id had one for my main. Friendly people, the loud farmers that ive seen a couple of people whinge about are a great crowd and a good laugh. The beer is good and my Wife loves because she was born in Gorefield. Caz is top drawer aswell. Cheers all.

Can i say a big Thankyou for a wonderful carvery meal after we turned up unannounced. Friendly staff and great meal. Nothing to much trouble for anyone. Will be back for sure.

We booked a table for a family meal thinking the place looked nice from the outside........WRONG!!!We had to wait 10minutes at our table for a waitress to take our drinks order.Shortly after we ordered our mains.....45 minutes later the food arrived, well 4 of the 6 dishes did...a further 10mins later we had our fulll compliment..... however the 2 lasagnes ordered looked like a dogs dinner and tasted worse.The waitresses had no interest in being there and the service proved it...so much so they ignored our order for a second round of drinks.When the bill came it was unsurprisingly wong.All in all a digusting meal served with disgusting service.One country pub to miss!!!!

My girlfriend and I went here on a Saturday evening and was impressed by the service we got from the friendly staff all round, and my girlfriends half rack of ribs and my rump steak with hand cut chips etc was outstanding, then we ordered a desert each, but after around 20 mins I had to ask where it was, but only because we had the cinema booked back in Wisbech as otherwise we wasn’t in a rush, but to be fair to them they just had a large group turn up , and then the deserts were served and wow they were well worth the wait, and then when our bill and complimentary mints come there was a nice note on the bill saying “enjoy you’re film” which we thought was a nice touch, will definitely return to this lovely village pub/ restaurant

Went here to celebrate my Mum's birthday & it was Amazing!!!! The food was brilliant & my husband who is picky with his steaks said it was one of the best he's had! The staff were really accommodating & came up with some mocktails for my Mum due to her not being able to drink alcohol. I also asked if they could provide a birthday cake which they did. I cannot recommend this place highly enough & it is definitely good value.

This place is bar orientated with an exceptional noisy local clientele. We had to move from the bar which had tables to the restaurant part but the noise from the bar still intruded. The food was very basic and not very good, the only good thing was the service we received from the waitress, even so we were over charged. A place not to go back to!

We have been to the woodmans on two consecutive sundays with different family members. On both occasions everyone has agreed that the food and the service has been excellent. Sufficient meat and a wide selection of vegetables to suit all tastes. My advice to the restaurant, don’t change what you are doing and customers be surprised at the quality and cost. Very good meal at a reasonable cost.

I looked at the reviews, which were quite good, and decided this was a place to visit! How wrong can a person be!

Been twice midweek lunch. Nice steak bagette first time and good ham/proscuitto and tomatoe second time. very quiet as you would expect for midweek. Decent selection of real ales & ciders. freindly staff. Overall very good.

Very friendly staff accommodation lovely breakfast excellent lovely shower and very soft towels will visit again

Went here for Sunday dinner. Carvery was lovely lots of different veg, 3 types of meat. We were both stuffed after unfortunately no room for pudding. Good service & friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Meals were very good, lovely chips! Bar was busy but the service was good, not quick, but at least it gave a decent gap between courses instead of being rushed

Have lived in the village for 7 years and this is the first time we've tried lunch at the Woodman's - but it certainly won't be the last. We both ordered the beer battered cod which was freshly cooked and came piping hot on a very generously loaded plate. Best of all, it was delicious! No room for dessert so I can't comment on that, but the service was extremely friendly, welcoming and relaxed and the atmosphere was cosy. They've also recently converted some spare space into four extremely comfortable and well-equipped rooms which come highly recommended by our friend who stayed the night (this is what finally lured us into the pub). If you're looking for a friendly village pub or a place to stay, the Woodman's is ideal.

Sampled the new menu this evening..WOW!!! Absolutely AMAZING food..brilliant taste and presentation. Lovely portion sizes at a VERY reasonable price!!! Has To be worth a visit..cant recommend it enough!! BRILLIANT fast and friendly service😀😀😀 Will definitely be going back!!!

I booked The Woodman's Cottage for a group of 20 following an evening at Fens Falconry nearby. They agreed a group price, which was good, for Steak & Ale pie, mash & vegetables. Arrived a few minutes before the time booked, got a drink, went to our table and the food arrived promptly. We all agreed it was excellent, clearly a home made pie, full of tender meat, peas and glazed carrot & parsnip & mash. Tasty & filling. A few people had deserts and one group shared an excellent cheese board. Cannot fault the service or the food and value for money - well done! Only negative was that the real ale was a bit too cool (it's not lager!!)

We have not been to this pub for a considerable amount of time for food and on this day we had a choice of a chain pub or the Woodmans Cottage... we are so happy we chose this place. We ordered our food, Cheese burger & chips, The Salmon, Steak pie and gammon. It was sometime before our food arrived and as the place wasn’t busy you knew it was prepared and cooked fresh. All I can say is it was delicious and all of us cleared our plates. 2 of the group also had room for dessert in the for of treacle sponge with custard and the cheesecake both of which went down a treat. We wondered if they served Sunday roast and spotted on our way out a banner stating that they do Sunday carvery”s between 12 & 3pm so we will definitely be trying this soon. Not sure if you have to book or just tune up though

We used to live in Gorefield and ate here weekly loved the food that was in 2009 - we will be visiting this July from Australia looking forward to revisiting and having a meal

I frequent the Woodmans as often as time allows. There is ALWAYS a full on welcome from the local characters and the uber friendly staff, who always go out of their way, to make your visit special. The beers are bright and fresh, try the Abbot Ale, many do! And then theres the food, expertly prepared, by a superb chef. The choice is excellent, but the steak and ale pie, is the best ever. A crackling log fire greets you in the darker months and theres a live Jazz club on the second Sunday of each month.This is a treasure of a village pub, CB

Haven't been here for a few years but very glad to say it is back to its very best. Great to have another local back and the steak & ale pie is a masterpiece

Cuatro de nosotros comimos allí recientemente.

This place is lovely, the staff are friendly and the food is gorgeous. I highly recommend it for all the family

Mis padres viven a este pub/restaurante. Sinceramente puedo decir que es la mejor comida del pub que he tenido en mucho tiempo.

Food was amazing honestly the cottage only has one chef after being informed by the waitress. Which for the time we waited was brilliant, there were four other tables yet no wait on the food. The chef seriously needs to commended on the food he...

Comida familiar, absolutamente excepcional de entrar a dejar un servicio fantástico. La comida era increíble, entrantes y postres eran maravillosas, brandy de café para morirse, visitando la zona y alojarse en un hotel cercano, ojalá no habitaciones ya que sería volver 100% recomendaría este lugar...

Horrible lugar evitar como servicio es muy pobre y el personal le ignora. No sé por qué están corriendo un pub si no son amables.

Sólo tenía una comida deliciosa en el Woodman's Cottage, el nuevo chef ha llegado, y si algo de esta noche para ir por esperamos permanece. Recomiendo el Brownie sundia

Viven en el pueblo y han sido cada par de semanas desde que llegamos. Personal encantador y sentir siempre bienvenida y un buen servicio. Buena comida y música a elección. Recomiendo encarecidamente si te gusta un buen pub tradicional y amable que era excelente y...

If you want to take a chance on if food is available and if you like being ignored then this is the pub for you. Bloody awful, steer clear and go to one of the many other pubs in the area.

Moved to the area and had one good meal at the Woodmans Cottage but since then have been there for a meal four times on different occasions only to find they have no chef and no food available. We visited recently and got ignored for about fifteen minutes and ended up going to The Rising Sun at Leverington. Last night it was our anniversary and so phoned the pub to ensure meals were available but on arriving we were totally ignored even though people in the bar were being served. After a good fifteen minutes of waiting without being able to even get a drink while waiting to order food we walked out. Unfortunately when we said we are leaving becAuse we have been ignored a mouthy person in the bar (not staff) was very rude and abusive and the whole experience spoilt our evening. We strongly recommend that you eat at the Rising Sun in Leverington which us were we ended up again.

Could not get a table at West End (our regular Sunday lunch choice).Rang The Woodmans and booked a table. Good phone manner.A bit surprised/disappointed that the place was pretty empty, but met a local couple well know to us who, once again sang it's praise. Also met a couple of other people known from the past.Well done to all who have brought it back to life, used it often many years ago.Lovely place now, Sunday roast was very good (down side was all a little (inc plates) cool).Apart from the 'coolness', my wife rated the turkey as good as any she has ever had.Excellent meat, presume Gagens?Good portions and all in all a very good meal.A little concerned that the 'kids eat free' will deter many people.We sat in the main dining room, ours and one other table had 'older people', the other two tables had 3 and 4 children (all pretty well behaved I must add).Perhaps a segregated area?Service pretty good, but a few smiles from chap behind the bar (landlord?) and lady carving meat would help enormously.Landlady, after a lack of 'brightness' soon became much more 'smiley'.Any restaurant/pub survives/thrives on it's food of course but also on the 'hosts', remember Barry and Lucille.Sorry to our hosts for such an in depth report, but would you have it any other way.Definitely in top 5 locally for Sunday Lunch and other menu options look to be very good, will be back.

called in two sundays ago for Sunday lunch (carvery) and found the food very good with three cuts of meat to choose and plenty of hot vegetables to have as much as you want ,,no need to have a sweet as the main course was sufficient,,after dinner coffee was good and a good choice of beers.

Last night my husband took me to this gorgeous little pub/restaurant. From the moment we walked through the door we was made to feel so welcome, like we was a regular. The lovely lady was so friendly and asked if we'd like to eat there, which we did! Oh my goodness the food was gorgeous, and very good portion sizes! My husband loves his food, but he struggled to finish his mixed grill We will definitely be back with our little girl, as the cater for them too, with a nice menu.

Friendly efficient staff, very clean, tidy, traditional country pub. Excellant homemade cooking, lots of variety. Stunning Sunday carvery

The Woodmans Cottage is a short walk from were we have just moved to in Gorefield and we were delighted to find a welcoming atmosphere and truly excellent food at reasonable prices. Service was very friendly and at about 6pm when we arrived it was fairly quiet but by 7pm it was buzzing. A nice local pub with great food. We both had New York Chicken at £9.95. The presentation was really excellent and the quality was as good as many a fine restaurant we have visited. The meal was very filling and we were both full by the time we had finished our meals. We enjoyed a bottle of red wine (Shiraz) at £12.95 for the bottle. Nice to have such a good local pub/restaurant. There is plenty of parking if you arrive by car and it is easy to find on the main road through Gorefield (High Road). We noted that kids eat free on Sundays...that has to be good value if you have children with you.

Nice to see this place open again. We sampled the food. No problems very nice. Will return next time we are working in the area.

Came to the Woodmans Cottage at the start of the month for a family birthday, food was really good. We all have something different, the food came in good time! I look forward to trying the Sunday carvery this week!

Was passing by and decided to pop in for some food. Despite it being 10 minutes before the end of the carvery everything was fresh and hot and delicious. Literally the best carvery I've had in a long time. And really friendly staff too. Thank you x

Hadn't been to Woodman's Cottage for many years, but in the area so decided to give it a try. So pleased we did. Very welcoming village pub/restaurant really well decorated --warm and friendly atmosphere. Food was absolutely spot on. I had lemon sole with the trimmings. This was cooked to perfection and it was if a very good size to boot. My wife had steak and ale pie. Thus was made on the premises and was a "proper" pie. Full of meat and the pastry was superb. Staff very attentive and very keen to make sure all was good for us, the client. We shall most certainly return. Thanks to all at the Woodman's.

Old pub but decor nice,the food was excellent,very pleasant and friendly owner,would recommend to anyone.Would definitely be going back.

My brother, who has lived in Vancouver for decades, was on a short visit and wanted a proper pub lunch. Our first choices either did not serve food at lunchtime or were closed [temporarily or permanently] and we "ended up at" The Woodman's Cottage. I had, obviously, heard a lot about the place over the years but had never been there before. Perhaps I should listen to people more!When we arrived, we did not have high expectations because the car park was empty - on a Saturday lunchtime - but the weather was dreadful for June. The place was empty but we were assured that they were happy to serve us lunch. Although the tables in the main restaurant were set up, it was suggested that one was set up for us out the back where the heating was on. We agreed to take warmth over ambiance - oh, the joys of an English June!Service was strangely slow to start with [setting up the table, first drinks, getting menus] but it was probably because the landlord called in staff just for us. Once they arrived, service was just right for us.We ordered a selection of starters to share: Chicken Wings, Garlic Mushrooms and Beef Nachos. Wow! We were chatting away and suddenly the conversation was just about the great food. The mushrooms were nothing special but the wings and nachos were fantastic. For mains, my husband and brother had the T-bone and mixed grill while Mum and I both had the lasagne. All were enjoyable if not as great as the starters. I cannot remember what everyone had for desert but that is probably because I had the one with lots of chocolate and was far too distracted to notice!My husband and I have already said that we should make a point of visiting the Woodman's more often.

This pub has a Restaurant, and it is very comfortable, the food is ok, but used to be far nicer a few years back now, when I used to visit here on a very regular basis

Good family meal at a reasonable price. All the food was good quality and arrived in a reasonable time, bar service was good and the overall price was much cheaper than expected. Would definitely return again.

Recently moved to the village, have driven past many times but not really seen much activity. Decided to have a few drinks/dinner so called to make sure food was on the cards etc. 4 of us went on a Thursday evening, a dozen or so other were about while we were there, good eclectic music on & friendly & chatty staff. Ordered food which came out quickly (tho we were the only ones eating at the time) and we were all surprised with the quality - very very good food. We will most certainly return soon & have noted special nights on the calendar, shame it doesn't look as bustling as I think it should/could be!

Had a great meal today, Good Friday with all the family 11 of us.When we turned up greeted with a smile and friendly welcome.Good selection of drinks when we ordered our food the waitress was very friendly and helpful.The food arrived and the starters were very good pigs in blankets were awsome.(ace)The others starters were just as good.Then after a nice break the mains arrived cooked perfect we had a varied selection across a exciting menu the rib eye steak was cooked just right.Our grandson loved his meal All cooked fresh and to order.Will definitely be back again soon,and will Stay a bit longer.

We went following a recommendation from a friend and received a very warm welcome as we walked through the door, and very attentive service from the landlady.Superb food - top notch 3 course meal (1 sirloin / 1 mixed grill) - absolutely gorgeous.The only small fly in the ointment was the service between courses from the kitchen was very slow. If the place had been heaving I wouldn't even have passed this critisism but the landlady herself said it was the quietest day all January.However, don't let that put you off, the front of house and the food is fantastic ... most definitely worth a visit.

Took my dad for dinner for his birthday and it didn't disappoint!Had read many reviews and the food lived up to expectations. Had a great ribeye steak, cooked perfectly and melted in the mouth. Yummy chips and plenty of sides.My husband had the chicken and ham pie and said it was delicious. Good children's menu too.Great value for money and would recommend.

A group of us (20) had a fantastic night, We were greeted with a log fire, a friendly atmosphere and good beer, we were served a three course meal, which was well presented, in whole the meal was stunning only to be eclipsed by the gorgeous home made deserts, the waitress was friendly and always smiling, we all thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back

Bit apprehensive when we arrived as we were the only ones dining and a couple of people at the bar. We ordered rib eye steak and a tower burger. Both meals were amazing, home made chips and garnishes were very good and steak cooked perfect just as I asked. The brilliant meal didn't match the atmosphere as I wasn't expecting much but very plesently supriaed with the food.Two staff working, one on the bar and one in the kitchen, both came to say hello and made very welcome. Just a shame the heating wasn't on as it was cold and I had to keep my coat on. Would go back for the food.

First visit for years and not disappointed, friendly staff, extensive menu, good beer and good food. Photo showns beef stroganoff and pesto chicken pasta. Will be returning in near future.

We had good reviews so booked table for lunch. Turned up at 1pm for lunch. No point in booking the pub was empty. In fact only one other couple arrived and left before us. Friendly meeting on arrival and obviously no issue with where to sit. There are plenty of tables. Good selection of beers and drinks. The lunch menu contained various starters. Main courses mostly ciabattas, paninis, burgers, scampi, cottage pie (special!) and breakfasts. We ordered a plain burger, a full breakfast, cottage pie and chicken burger. The burger and chips was very basic with limited garnish. The cottage pie could have come from Iceland, the chicken in the burger was anaemic and the breakfast was ok. The meals were really nothing special. There was no offer of sauces etc and the server disappeared after leaving the meals. Two of us then ordered a sweet. Neither felt it was worth the cost. So all in all we have decided that we may have visited on an exceptional quiet day or the pub is less than busy normally at lunch time. The location itself is unattractive and we won't return.

My wife and I began using this pub/restaurant earlier this year, and found it had excellent food, and very welcoming staff. During early August, the Woodman's Cottage advertised a fine dining evening, which we went to on 14th August, it was fantastic. The price included 4 courses and wine, which was of very good quality. Everyone had a fantastic evening, and we cannot wait for them to repeat the evening.

Welcoming friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and the food was delicious and beautifully presented! You will struggle to find food such as this in the Wisbech area. We will definitely be returning!

Cosy feel, polite service and some tasty and rather posh grub! Take a look at the look of the pictures and cast your own opinion. The log burner is great too

I thought I visit here with my family because of the good reviews. We phoned to book and turned up at the time we said we was coming. We entered the pub to no greeting so we waited at the bar while the staff chatted with the locals. Then after a couples of minutes we gave the name of the reservation then told we can sit where we wanted, we ask where we order to be told that it is carvery only which was fine then after a couple of minutes they asked if we wanted any drinks which we said yes then we was told to go up to the carvery when every we wanted but wasn't told where the carvery was. We found the carvery to find out the selection where the young chef told us that the meat was gammon, pork or turkey. we asked for one slice of each apart from my mother who asked for gammon then we saw the selection of vegetables which was; broccoli, carrots, parsnips, cauliflower cheese, mash, and 'roast potatoes'. There was other extra like stuffing, sausages, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. I was a little worried that they had not allergy advice for the food because I'm allergic to apples but i thought that it should be okay i can get my parents and the staff was obversely not interested in us so i asked my father to try the food to see if it had any apples in it. The food wasn't great the mash potatoes was very lumpy and every fork full had lumps in it the other food was overcooked and disappointing and it wasn't great value. i would not visit again.

Friendly welcome upon arrival . Jane couldn't do enough for us closely followed by Mavis. The menu is varied and all meals are fresh and excellently presented. The setting is warm and cozy and has a true family feel. Will definitely return .

We went to this restaurant for an evening meal for two. We had the ribeye steak, chicken stir fry, fruit tart and fruit waffles. The service was friendly and the portions were generous. Food was a good standard. We would dine there again.

We popped in for a light lunch on the Bank Holiday Monday after not having visited for some years. It was excellent. The food was freshly prepared, well presented and totally delicious. Pleasant surroundings and friendly staff. Very impressed and would recommend. Will definitely go again.

We have visited this pub a few times since being brought back to life by Jane and her staff.The food is fantastic and the place feels like a lovely country inn.Great to pop in for a pint or spend the evening.

We happened on this pub by accident and went in in a very quiet Friday afternoon for a drink. The landlady is lovely and made us very welcome. We read the menus on the blackboards and decided to book a table for dinner. We were not disappointed!! The food (cooked by her husband) was delicious: all cooked to order so beautifully hot and well presented. The menu was not huge (which assured us everything would be fresh) but big enough to make it difficult to decide what to have. Three of us ordered from the specials whilst one had a gammon steak from the grill menu. We barely had room for dessert - but, luckily, forced ourselves and had four super home made puds. The pub is beautifully clean, toilets well appointed and, as mentioned, a welcoming landlady, with a lovely Dutch accent. The slightest criticism was that there was only one variety if red wine on offer. Luckily it was Merlot, so the men were able to cope! When we go this way again we will definitely re-visit. Highly recommended
