Woodland Bakery in Brentwood

As a couple we were seated. We were told they were short staffed and was a short wait however they say this all the time and we normally get drinks and a salad bowl quite quickly which tides us over. This time however we still hadn't been personally acknowledged after 25 min, we just sat there, got eye contact a couple of times, smiled but nothing. By 30 min we just left and don't think we will go back The food is lovely, the staff are friendly but they are constantly understaffed and it's wrong for higher management to think it's okay. The staff look worn out and I really feel for them. This place used to be packed but people are avoiding it now. We have had a delivery before but the portion size was tiny.

under new ownership, it is much better, the last landlord was a total bellend.

On Sunday 6th April, we visited the Boars Head as we often do as a family to celebrate a birthday! The staff are very warm and welcoming and helpful especially Meg, Ollie and Amy. The food is always good quality with great choice and the atmosphere is always nice!

Ordered coffee, but was disappointed as it wasn't as nice as usual. Not sure why, but we'll still go again as I'm sure it was probably a one off...
