Woodhall Arms in Edinburgh, City of

I would class this as my favourite local within the surrounding area, staff are always friendly and the locals are great

Friendly staff good choice of drinks lovely atmosphere great place to stop off after a long walk up the hills always sports on TV fab!!

On my first visit to this pub, on entering it, it seemed like a nice local pub. I bought myself a drink and sat down with the friends I went to meet. About 10 minutes later, the bar person came over and briskly said that I couldn't park at the front of the pub. There was no sign saying I could not park. I informed the barmaid that the car park looked very dark, and as a single older woman, I was unsure about parking there. I went out and moved my car. I saw a fire exit into the pub from the car park but thought I should not use it as the rude barmaid may tell me off. I returned to the front door; the car park was very dark and had no lighting; there was a ridge between the tarmac and the gravel. I had a nasty fall as I could not see this hazard. I informed the barmaid that I had a bad fall because the car park was very dark and the ground uneven, and they needed more lights. I was not rude but simply gave fair feedback on the situation. The said barmaid did not even as if I was ok! Totally did not care. Her response was I had to to speak to the manager. As I do not live locally, I was not returning or phone another day to talk to a manager. Hence, I am writing this review. At the end of the evening, the grump barmaid asked us frostily to drink up at 10 pm. She was closing the pub. The Woodhall Arms is an unpleasant place for a drink with grumpy and uncaring staff. What happens to that war Scottish welcome you expect from pub staff? certainly you will not receive that at the Woodhall Arms

Amazing staff, friendly and inviting. Wide selection of beverages. Customers were also very welcoming and kind. Best pub in currie!

A big thanks to the Woodhall Arms when Claremont Walking Club came to visit. Despite not expecting us, due to a little mix up, the service and atmosphere were first class. We'll definitely visit again next time we're walking in the Pentlands.
