Woodfire, Pizza and Mezze in Test Valley

Staff were not attentive and seemed to be unaware that you required service even though we requested a menu. Ordered pizza, salad and fries. At 50 minutes we still had not been served even though we had asked what had happened to our order. In the end I asked for a refund. Other tables were also experiencing a long wait. What a shame as we were really looking forward to the meal

Oh dear how this place has changed. Ordered a salad and a starter and after 30 mins asked at till, told be another 5 mins. 15 mins later our order was being offered to two other tables, food finally arrived no apology! Staff are all youngsters without any adult to control almost like they are doing you a favour by serving when they decide to. Three other tables asked for a refund due to the delay and lack of communication whilst we were there. Avoid plenty of better options nearby, such a shame used to be good.

We stopped here on the way round the lovely old village of Stockbridge and took advantage of the excellent brunch options which were varied and tasty . Service was good and although we waited a while for food to arrive the quality made it worthwhile , good coffees also . the ambience at the back terrace area wasn't great but then the place was full elsewhere !

Poor service, hubby tables, overcooked food…. Cannot believe how much this place has changed, used to be amazing. Had pizza and coffee, really not great, did complain but staff were not interested in our feedback……

Table server was kind and patient - really happy! The ham and cheese croissants are amazing. So so good!

This used to be such a great plce, but seems to have gone down hill massively. We placed our order, and found a table outside. Twenty minutes later and no sign of our coffee, so I went inside to find the staff chatting and laughing. Finally got my cofee, but the wring one, waited another fiftenn minutes for the correct one to arrive . Will not be returning !!!

What a fabulous pizza - I love a Hawaiian and calzone pizza and here you can have a Hawaiian as a calzone! Absolutely delicious and perfect! Will be coming again! Don’t miss this place!

I have never experienced such inattentive and surly service. The food is good, but totally let down by the customer service. I wouldn’t visit again.

Wonderful service, outstanding coffee and my husband says it’s the best pizza he’s ever eaten in the UK. Even though they were super busy, they treated us like royalty- especially Grace and Kalo

Interesting place which draws you in, but dirty, plate laden tables. Hard to find a cleared table to sit at. No acknowledgment on arrival. Water dispenser empty. No cutlery. Staff more keen on looking at their phones than serving. Bread display shelf was empty. Not a good vibe inside once you have committed yourself to staying.

Came with my partner and 2 year old daughter one morning as we only live up the hill for coffee and a cake. About £25!!! For 2 cakes and 3 drinks. Cake was awful aswell, had the most odd taste to it

Have visited Woodfire many times but seems to have gone down hill of recent had a breakfast on tuesday poor quality food and poor service seems to be run by young kids who do not care.

Stopped for some lunch - ordered sharing platter (for 2 of us) and 2 pots of tea. The tea came in nice pots and was very nice. The sharing platter comes in 3 sizes £16 & £23, but when I asked staff which to order for 2 persons they were clueless - all they could offer by way of help was to say more expensive one is bigger. As we were hungry we went for the bigger one. What turned up was two boards, one with a good selection of meats (although only 2 types) and another with olives, pickled artichoke, a large amount of oil and balsamic in a ramekin, and what was supposed to be pickled garlic. The rosemary focaccia bread was lovely as was the meats, but the garlic was not pickled - just lots of raw garlic cloves covered in oil. I ate two - very strong and instantly regretted it - nearly made myself sick! The balsamic wasn’t vinegar, but the thick glaze, so was like a thick gloop under the oil - again not very appetising. Could have been good - expensive for what we got (even if it had all been nice) and would have expected more variety at that price. But badly let down by inappropriate ingredients and staff who weren’t really that interested (“I don’t usually work here”). Suggest giving the platter a miss….

We are a local family who loved having lunch at Woodfire pre Covid. Sadly it seems to be a very different experience now. We booked a table, specifically requesting a high chair, which was not left out. The staff were disinterested and unfriendly, and didn’t show us to our table, instead misdirecting us to the wrong area of the restaurant, while we searched for the table with our name on it. The whole place seems disorganised and not very clean. Various bits of cleaning apparatus strewn over the first floor (spray bottles, surgical gloves, cloths) looked messy and depressing. We decided not to eat there and left to go elsewhere.

Was stopping to have a pizza with the wife whilst out on the bikes … positioned them next to us took all our stuff off just to be told they had to be taken around the back … errr bearing in mind you have to order within that means leaving our bikes unattended and out of sight. That’s a no for all cyclists ..

We drove down to the car show in Stockbridge today and stopped in woodfire for lunch, although busy the staff were very attentive. We found woodfire a couple of moths ago but today was a far better visit than the last. Well managed, good food...

We visited things lovely town, wonderful shops which are not normally found on a general high street. Right in the middle is a lovely building and Woodfire. That's the good bit.... just about every aspect of this place rates in my opinion 0 or 1...

An amazing building with lovely staff and amazing coffee, overpriced though. £3.20 for a flat white seems high, even for Stockbridge

Stopped here for coffee and cake and was so shocked by how expensive it was. Just isnt worth it. Coffee wasnt great and cake was standard.

I went a few months ago and didn’t leave a bad review bc everyone has bad days but wow. Staff are openly rude and difficult. Trying to serve a cold sausage roll with no cutlery, pizza oven ‘wasn’t on until 12’ so we’re not able...

Never again! Our table was dirty, the chicken on the Cesar salad reheated tough and dry. The service non existent with staff going outside to smoke and payment all upfront. So having been obliged to pay for the main course before we got it, we...

Poor service, we waited for ages and had to chase. We were then asked to move! An ant walked across on the table and the food was poor. The toilets were also dirty. Very disappointing.

Dreadful service, awful staff who appear not to care. This place has declined and needs an overhaul!

Great coffee, great cakes but prices seem to have gone up dramatically over the last few months. Flat white £3.20, cappuccino £3.35, tea £3.35 and all cakes £3.40 + seem very high to me. More expensive than all cafes I habeen to recently including Winchester!

Recommended by a friend to give Woodfire a try, so 3 of us went over for brunch. Pleasant friendly service at the bar, good coffee and 3 very tasty breakfasts. Thank you to those that served us, sorry didn't catch your names, and the chefs....

No masks not one of the staff were wearing a mask I can understand people being exempt,but for all the staff to not be wearing one I find that during this pivotal period of the pandemic it sets a bad example and I would not...

We used to go here a lot, the food was good then and it still is but everything else has gone down a long way. The place was cold and uninviting, rather like a school canteen, everywhere was really dirty, the focus seemed to be...

Woodfire is more cafe than restaurant, in that you order your food at the counter, so not full table service. The atmosphere is pleasant and functional - simple unlaid tables. Staff were helpful and friendly, and since this was a busy Saturday they had plenty...

We arrived shortly after 6pm and order 4 pizzas fairly quickly, Drinks arrived 15 minutes later - the waitress was faultless but like and actor doing her best with a bad script. An hour later our pizzas hadn’t arrived and we’d finished our drinks. No...

The pizzas are very tasty. Light, crispy base, but with good texture. Toppings are perhaps a little on the sparse side, but delicious nonetheless. Restaurant was quite (Thursday evening) but it is a pleasant environment. Waitress was efficient and welcoming. Unfortunately when my partner went...

Appalling customer service and will not be going back. Queued for 10 mins to order while young staff chatted and lounged behind counter. They didn’t know what the cakes were . As they appeared to be making Americano by dropping an espresso on a cup...

.... Oh yeah, it was everything else, even our drinks. It's such a shame as we were super excited to come here. It was a rather confusing set up the moment we entered, no clear sign posts or instructions of where to sit, so we...

Inept, curt and untrained staff, “ find your table yourself…” Tables and floor were filthy. Menu way off the mark. The pizzas are the only saving grace… just close your eyes to everything else! This used to be such a popular and fantastic place to...

I used to go to Woodfire a lot as live in Winchester but just had a terrible experience. The restaurant upstairs was filthy, we had to ask twice for our table to be cleaned, we had to chase three separate drinks orders, two of our...

We stopped off here for morning coffee and pastries. The almond croissants were delicious as was the coffee, however £3.50 for a pot of tea is ridiculous, especially when there was absolutely no flavour to it! More concerning was the lack of cleaning, especially during...

Such a lovely place to eat. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is so nice and relaxed. Just what you need when you are out for a meal. And the BEST pizza I've ever tasted. Wow just amazing. Will be coming...

The worst value and most costly meal that I have ever had. I took my mum out for her birthday; this was supposed to be a nice treat so I didn’t want to make a fuss and spoil her afternoon out. But £45 for two...

In the past we have had snacks at Coffee Lab which were very good. This morning’s visit to Woodfire was very disappointing. We looked round the building and noticed empty tables so decided to order a drink and snack. When we got to the till...

This used to be the go to place Everytime we visited Stockbridge. But we were shocked at how things had gone downhill. We used to have tea in a pot with china cups now it is paper cups. A cake was served in a paper...

Stopped for tea, coffee & an almond croissant. Very pleasant service - tea & coffee served to us on a tray outside. Real tea leaves, nice coffee (similar to Pret), and a delicious almond croissant which we shared. Table wobbled a bit but we coped...

We booked a table for three and got one which just about worked providing that two of us sat on one side. It would have been nice if the table was clean, but that turned out to be the least of the problems. A menu...

It would be really nice to eventually (it’s been 6 weeks ...) stop insects ... and in particular, wasps) crawling all over the cakes on the front counter, both from inside the display stand net and all over the uncovered cakes on top of the...

I have been to Woodfire quite a few times but recently they've changed the way to order. No more table service. I had brunch on a Sunday and we ordered hot food. When I went down to down to order we had to queue out...

Went here for a quick lunch and coffees/cakes with friends. All of us really enjoyed our pizza. And the coffee was very good. If you’re just after a casual lunch or afternoon pick me up I would recommend.

Went in the day for tea and cakes. Good choice of cakes - gluten free Jammie dodger cake, good cookies and smarties chocolate brownie. Great outside space to sit - some undercover too! Stockbridge lovely place. Becomes restaurant in the evening.

Visited with my 11 year old son yesterday - gone are the delicious garlic tomato pizza breads replaced with basically a lump of nearly cooked dough the centre of which contained a bit of garlic butter for £5.50 ( or £5.5 as the so trendily...

Cold, soaked through and morale dipping after a rather wet walk today however my mood was boosted at the sight and smell of an open coffee shop and some tempting cakes on display. The staff on were so bubbly, lovely and friendly. They said that...

Seated and forgot. Walked off after a miserable wait in the sun. Not even a nod from the numerous, slow moving staff. Slow, slow, slow and slovenly.

Well where do I begin? Upon arrival my mother followed the signs and proceeded into the establishment while I waiting on an empty table in the outdoor seating area and was a greeted or should I say slighted by one the waitress storming up to...

5 visits in the first week of reopen and loved each one! Take away coffees & breakfast sandwiches are fantastic, pizzas & brunch menu on point, tasty gins, lots of fresh cakes and treats with plenty for vegans or allergen sufferers too! All the staff...

Well, where do I start... After popping into my normal coffee jaunt after they have closed for a refurbishment …not only have many changes happened, all very confusing and not well thought out (one meaning complete congestion outside the front of the building and another...

Followed signage re COVID , politely asked for a table and told very aggressively and dismissively to go and look for myself. Needless to say we went elsewhere and spent our money there. I have been here a few times but won’t be bothering again....

Got a couple of takeaway pizzas on a Friday night, one margherita and one scicilian. It was kind of last minute and we had not rung ahead so we had to wait ~20 minutes which was fine. Good Covid controls and the pizza was excellent....

Great pizza , very good , drinks ,lol £10 a pint , really , not again , it's not a posh restaurant lol it's like a cafe , got their prices completely wrong ,

Quiet Friday service due to the Covid 19 however friendly service and great food plus Covid Friendly distancing and precautions for both customers and staff. Love the long fermentation of the pizza bases which didn't make you feel bloated like most manufactured pizza and lovely...

We popped in for a quick coffee and cake on our way down to the New Forest. The staff were friendly, the coffee and cakes were good, and they had a good track and trace process.

Popped into this intriguing place for a snack. No doubt the pizzas are good but it could do so much more. If you want a sandwich with an Italian touch the selection was tomato and mozzarella in a ciabatta roll. This would be so much...

I on a Saturday evening and it was amazing! The staff are lovely and provide amazing customer service. The atmosphere was lovely, the tables are spaced out so you’re never too close to another table, which I really liked. I wish the weather had of...

I've been here several times and the staff have always been very friendly, service has always been great and the food and drink delicious. I think the coffee is far superior to most other cafes in the area, and is one of the main reasons...

Had lunch on a Saturday.We both had wood fire oven cooked pizza, both pizzas were very tasty, good base, fresh toppings.We sat outside, they have good covid precautions, instructions are well publicised, hand cleanser and 1 way system, staff wearing ppe etc. Very pleasant surroundings with tables next to the river/stream.Woodfire have a good selection of cakes and pastries but we were too full to sample, we will be back to do so.

This is such an amazing restaurant with really delicious pizza and the friendliest staff. This is our favourite place to stop on our way back from Cornwall. This year was even better than usual. Lots of outside tables, great Covid-19 measures and even more delicious...

Called in for coffee that was very nice, also has a couple of Bakewell tarts that were good in size, I found mine a bit dry, wife loved her piece, total£10.80 Would have to say the pizzas that were served looked very good and place was popular with locals.

Lovely original wood fired pizza They created pizza combinations at our request Very helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble

My husband and I as well as other members of our family had joined us for visits to Stockbridge and always eaten in the deli cafe, but last Saturday the deli cafe and other places were full, so we decided to go to eat lunch at the Woodfire and my goodness we are so glad we did. LOVELY place, YUMMY pizzas, GREAT cakes, SUPERB breakfast etc, we will be going there again VERY SOON. HIGHLY recommended.

Stopped here for lunch with some friends. I had the smashed avocado on toast and it was delicious. Staff all very friendly. Would recommend my dish to any vegan passing by.

We had a New Year's day brunch with some friends and we all liked it very much. Service was very good and food and coffee were great. We will come back!

Amazing pizzas, some of the best we've ever had. Also great coffee and the cakes look delicious. Sadly let down by the fact that if you are seated upstairs you have to go down and queue at the desk to put your order in - on a busy day this was frustrating.

I have been to Woodfire on a number of occasions and it's always very good, the pizzas in particular but they have plenty of other options, which are also delicious. The manageress and staff are always very friendly and we have never had issues with long waits as some people have experienced below. They also do a good selection of cakes and coffees if you wish to go for a snack as against a full main meal. Definitely recommend!

Loved the filling of huge chocolate cake. Staff was very kind to sell only half of portion. Cleaning the tables although quick was not very accurate.

Always enjoyed the Pizza at Woodfire however would not go back. After going for a meal with a young baby/toddler (2yo), had a 50 minute wait for Pizza, common sense is to prioritise the baby's food who was very upset. After our Pizzas arrived, some of the toppings on two of the Pizza's were cold - as in from the fridge cold. We complained about it since the chef clearly forgot and banged it on after being cooked, which as it was meat (nduja) it was a big no-no. We got a very frosty response to the cricism, but after my friend complained to the chef, they offered free drinks and the Pizza's free of charge. The service was not good and one of the new waiters who came to take a coffee order looked at us with what I can only discribe as anger which was bizarre.We decided to leave asap and came down to pay, only for the restaurent to re-neg on what was offered and claim they never offered the free Pizza. The chef said 'I'm not calling you a liar, but....'. My friend repeated the offer back to him to confirm it was correct when she was given the free Pizza's, which considering we had a terrible experience and were a big party was the least they could not do.Unfortunately for them they have lost a family of regulars and we will be spreading the word You can have the best food in the world but treating patrens with respect and as human beings is basics of business, which unfortunately they failed at. If an owner see's this review, I would encourage them to reach out so I can give a more detailed account of exactly what happened as you need to know what your Sunday staff are up to.

Only stopped off for a coffee on Saturday morning but looked like they had plenty more to offer, lovely cakes for sure.Gluten free and dairy free unfortunately not both as my wife is intolerant to both, but hopefully on our next visit they may have something.Pleasant staff and you can gaze the high street, people watching while you rest your weary feet.

Visited here with my son at lunch and shown a table that was dirty but was told it would be cleared. We sat and waited and a waiter cleared and cleaned the table next to ours but ignored us. We waited a further 10 minutes whilst orders around us were taken on 2 large tables hoping to be next, but nothing. Being with a young child I wanted a quick pizza, once I realised this was not going to happen we left. I have been here before and the pizza was good, but this was with the previous management. I won’t be returning again..a real shame.

Went here for brunch for the first time and will be returning. The food was delicious and wasn’t expecting quite so much. Place had atmosphere and the staff were lovely. 😋😋

I met friends for lunch - We went for their brunch menu and had the most gorgeous meal. Avocado, sun dried tomatoes, bacon, poached egg etc on sourdough - Beautifully presented, filling and inexpensive. And the most incredible brownies for pudding!

Stopped for a coffee which was poor in taste, looks and to me undrinkable. They remade it and it was the same. Went to pay and was asked if it was OK, explained no and they then took unashamedly took full payment.

We visited with family on a Saturday evening. We were warmly welcomed and served quickly . The pizzas are superb, especially as they serve the delicious Italian N-Duja sausage on them if you want. Would love to see Woodfire open one night during the week as well as weekends!

Great stopping point for 4 for tasty lunch on a cycle ride!

Went to Woodfire to meet a friend for brunch. Absolutely fabulous smashed avocado, bacon, sour bread, poached eggs and salsa verde. Lovely place with great food and such good value. Love it

Three of us arrived for pizza. We were offered filtered water and then just waited.

We go to this restaurant quite often. We think the pizza is amazing and lots of other tasty things as well. I especially like the avocado on toast, the Italian sausage panini and the caesar chicken salad. My husband likes the Italian breakfast. The coffee is great. The staff are lovely and the new manager is very enthusiastic, energetic and friendly.

Good good...restaurant pleasant...eager young servers. Busy but not slow. Very good coffee. Feels a bit tired but ok.

Just stopped for lunch. This place is a hidden Gem. Myself and my Wife both had pizza which were amazing. The kids had pasta dish of the day. All fed and watered with no complaints. Highly recommend.

Luke warm and stewed beverages due to the delay in serving from prep area to table - a walk of approx 4 feet!

Popped in to Woodfire for a lunch with family. Service was great, fast and efficient and the food was outstanding. Wood fired pizzas are really tasty and the staff were really friendly. Would highly recommend and Will certainly be returning :-)

We have eaten here twice now and are going back again on Friday. Breakfast is sensational and wood fired pizza speaks for itself. Gets busy.

We used to really looked forward in going to this place.

Enjoyed lunch out with fanily on bank holiday monday. This place was v.busy but staff happy n helpful. Order at the bar and the staff then bring food and drinks. Chef on display making amazing pizza. We enjoyed specials inccluding mussels mouniere with amazing fries, pizza and soyp of the day. Food arrived promptly and reasonably priced. Lovely little boult hole and they do amazing food. btw many other people were enjoying coffee and sumptuous cakes

Stopped here after a walk on the beautiful Stockbridge Down.

I’m sure the staff change regularly but one they have there at the moment needs to be changed. Why oh why do you need to be asked if you have booked when the place is half empty and gets no fuller...and be told that they are very busy.

Really a coffee shop in Stockbridge serving cold coffee on dirty tables and serving the cakes on plates that are so badly chipped they should be thrown out not given to paying customers...would I visit again - never!

For the best pizza in the South of England, this is the place. We go here, a lot, because it just can’t be beaten for quality: See you soon Woodfire.

Booked this supper club immediately after enjoying the last one so much! Was not dissapointed, a well thought out, creative and delicious menu. Was hard to pick as I would have happily destroyed every course.

A great afternoon spent at Woodfire. Great service from the outstanding waitress serving our table of 13.

Wood fire was good for early evening dining with the sharing platter very good and enjoyed by all. The pizzas were also good and good value. Our only disappointment was that the restaurant stopped serving quite early in a Saturday evening.

Stockbridge is a township of passage, whether you be an angler enjoying one of the best chalk streams in Europe, or just an aspirant shopper hoping for a parking space to become available before visiting an eclectic and first class range of shops along the High Street. Woodfire completes a range of differing eateries, some charging toppish prices, but provides well-presented food at affordable prices, served by enthusiastic and polite staff. It could be a little smarter but those discerning clients who are prepared to ignore the trappings available elsewhere will be more than satisfied.

At long last! Supper clubs have made a triumphant return to the ever evolving foody landscape of Stockbridge!

Lunch with mother. Very busy and glad we booked. Service average,waiter vague unsure of ingredients of pizza. However pizzas were excellent.

This place came highly recommended by many friends and it didn’t disappoint. Good menu Nice fresh food, reasonably priced. Margarita pizza Mushroom risotto (amazing!) Siciliana pizza My daughter couldn’t finish hers so she took it home for supper!

We stopped off here for lunch and were so pleased we did.

enjoyed supper club fish night, ate well, staff welcoming. a very good evening. been here before always good.
