Woodlands Pub in Derby

Just a typical local sports bar.

Superb Bass Brilliantly served by Abi...👍

It was ok. A very busy night. Poor selection of bottled lager. Gent's toilets were disgusting #paddling.

A craft union pub linzi entertained very friendly staff and customers.prices ok look forward to going back

Went to the Woodlands to attend a friend's funeral/wake.

Not much experience of this pub yet but service for a drink was fine and provided a good location for our group.

Not been in this pub for a long time. Went in with family on Xmas day and it was lovely, clean and inviting with friendly efficient staff, which wasn't our experience in the past. Welll done to the new tenants

The last few times I've been in it has been very quiet. It's a good place to watch sports.

I went to see a band called J Quad. It's a really friendly local pub, the young barmaid was on her 1st ever shift & was so nice, as was the barman, the landlord & landlady.

Lovely staff... Amazing atmosphere.. Well priced

Pub is due to change proprietor.

Only stopped for a quick one, it is what it is, an estate pub. Very friendly staff and customers felt very welcome

Good pub and fair prices! Food is good too.

I usually go with my dad once a week to the Woodlands the food is very good for the price you pay ( good valve) , the real ales are well kept, and you would have to travel far to get as good a pint of pedigree and for the price it is excellent value. The Staff are most welcoming, and the landlord is doing a ongoing project to do the Woodlands pub up which he is doing a good job , the Bar seems to have more people than the bar and the bar is very good for watching sport , the lounge is less used , which is a shame as it a nice place to have a spot of lunch

Love it here, great place to watch the football. Has improved loads since I started coming here. Always get great service

Fantastic service from the moment we walked in. Sport on the many tv's, 2 new dart boards and what looks like a new pool table. Although we didn't eat, the pizzas looked great. Definitely will return now that things seemed to have massively improved.

Great pub with friendly staff! Had lots of work done to it and it’s improved massively! Would definitely recommend!

Friendly team and has a great community vibe about the place

Very nice pla e to stop by and have a meal. Would happily go again.

Nice community pub. Came here with my family for lunch. Loads of choice, including good options for the kids.

Great service. Warm welcome from friendly staff. Nice pub food nothing too much trouble. Will be back X

Stopped in for lunch with the family mid-week. Large menu with lots of choice including veggie/vegan options. Decent beer selection too including cask ales. Everyone enjoyed their meals including the kids.

Loads of choice for adults and kids, and the food was really good. My kids are picky, and they loved it.

Had a family lunch and drinks, all good and pleasant atmosphere in nice relaxed surroundings switch helpful staff, happy to recommend

We've drank and eaten in this pub since moving to the area 8 years ago. It's always had potential, with a seperate dining room, bar and outside area but nobody has ever put the effort in... Until Now! Visiting today, the dining area has been re-decorated, pool table re-surfaced, new TVs, outside area going through a refit etc. New beer lines being added.. This should soon be a contender to the popular locals Red Lion and Markeaton. Bar staff always friendly and approachable, great family pub. Speaking to the new manager, it's clear he cares about the pub doing well, and is already putting in the hard work. It's a Stonegate pub, so you get the great food and prices and regular updates to the menu. I mean who can go wrong with a alcoholic drink and burger for less than £10! Weely quiz every Thursday which you can do on your smartphone and play for big prizes nationally. Keep up the good work and we wish you every success for the future

Just tried a hot and spicy pizza! The pizza's are new today! So tasty and light and good value! Can't wait to try the other pizzas that are available

Great food and welcoming atmosphere

Absolutely fantastic 3 pints of Guinness, thanks to the new boss John and his staff. Great range of drinks around

Been for a family meal last night, great food, great service and brilliant new look, recommend a visit!

Great atmosphere, good range of beers and lager, inexpensive, top quality pool table, 2 new dart boards and 4 screens to watch sport in the main bar. What more could you want?

Lovely meal and great atmosphere, has definitely changed in recent months since my last visit and will visit again.

Went for lunch. Cheap and cheerful. Can't complain at £35 for 4 of us eating 2 courses! That includes our drinks! Good on a tight budget.

cheap carling on a Monday £2.15p a pint

Visited for a retirement party, room was great, beer was great, only slight issue the room was very hot, but didn't ruin a great night.

Friendly service and a great pint.

First visit in quite a while after being told there were vast improvements being made so it was incredibly disappointing to find tasteless food which didn't even come out with all the associated greenery on the burgers as stated in the menu. I could possibly understand this if it was busy but there were only 2 tables having food and the other table got mains out before starters! On the plus side it was inexpensive and my coffee was fine.

I visited the Woodlands and was greeted by the kind staff in a very polite manner. I received great service and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The atmosphere was very homely and the range of drinks and food was very good. The quality of the food is great and I would absolutely visit again! Thank you.

Wonderful local now clean Beers really good. The landlord is really doing his best to address any issues and smarten the place up. Well done to all the staff.

Great experience upon visiting the Woodlands, the staff are all lovely and provide a really wonderful service, I ever so enjoyed my evening and throoughly look forward to visiting again in the near future!

Excellent service from amazing bar staff and delicious food from the Adam the chef. Will be returning to this pub as often as possible

Lovely little community pub. Brilliant food. Amazing service. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Would highly recommend to bring the family in for a lovely meal

Vastly improved in the last few weeks, there seems to be a lot of work going on to improve the customer experience and freshen up the venue.

Quiet and lacking in atmosphere. ☹️

Great pub, great beer, friendly staff, will be back for sure. Nice to see a good atmosphere. Darts boards and Jukebox too.

First visit for a few years, new landlord seems to have made significant improvements. The lounge was clean & fresh. Husband said the beer was good, which it hasn't been for some years. And not a dog in sight 👍 unlike other pubs in the area. Will go again.

Highly recommended..fantastic place to eat and drink

New Manager has taken over and the atmosphere has changed completely. Jukebox is back too. Well worth a visit.

Under knew management and very impressed. Very friendly and clean with some needed improvements. Good food and drink. Definitely recommend a visit

Great pub serving good food with a amazing atmosphere

Gents toilets need attention. They absolutely PONG possibly due faulty flush mechanism on urinals. Very unhygienic. Ongoing issue, not being resolved, not acceptable.

An average pub offering basic fast food. Friendly staff, fast service.

Great food for good price! We really recommend it!

New landlord and assistant manager really good. Real ales good and consistent, nice and clean, very plesent staff, doing a very good job.

Amazing team lovely place to go

We went on a Monday lunch time, very quiet, food okay lots of choice but Toilets are disgusting, not planning on going back.

I felt bad for the staff who worked here because it was evident that whoever was in the kitchen was not a chef. Almost everything that we ordered was missing an item because they didn't have it, and the staff weren't sure what was available...

Had our Christmas meal at the woody's tonight the food was really good and the service was excellent we sll went home stuffed and very happy

Warm welcome from the young barmaid, beers excellent and a good price too.

Visited on the 28/10 and was extremely impressed. On entering the venue I was greeted with such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The team working was very approachable when I went to the bar and constantly smiled. After visiting some venues in the past it was nice to feel like the people serving actually wanted to be there. The food I ordered was definitely one of the best I've had in a pub in a long time and will definitely be visiting such a nice place again soon

I’ve been a local to the area for a long time and a regular at this pub since I was old enough to drink. I’ve never really felt welcome here until the new landlady took over. Even the staff seem happier to be there now. Thankyou Natalie for making me want to spend my money locally and making me feel part of a little family. And thankyou Yazmin for all the drink recommendations 😃😃

Yet another fantastic visit. The staff were very happy to help and went out of their way to accommodate one of my party who has a gluten allergy. They explained the policy on allergens and we felt very safe eating there. This is definitely a...

Nice pub. Loved the cauliflower 'wing ' starter. Friendly and helpful staff too 👍

One of the best steaks I have ever had. Been waiting all weekend and it did not disappoint. Its great to see steaks back on the menu. Again great service. I would highly recommend

Great friendly staff and inviting environment. A must visit !!! My vist here was great and made to feel very welcome Good beer great staff. Cracking pint of guiness

We have not been to pub for years, it’s on our doorstep but we never felt welcomed and didn’t fit in for reasons unknown. We visited as were aware of new management but thb expectations were low and thought we would stay for a drink...

New manager, very impressed. Very clean, good beer selection at good prices. Fantastic food, quick, hot and delicious. Good access for wheelchair Definitely worth the visit. We will return !

Great food, great atmosphere, friendly bar staff

Tim is fantastic, such a happy chap! Yaz is always smiley and a credit to the business. George amazing as always

Came out for a birthday meal with my other half. I had the Lasagne and my other half had the bbq chicken melt. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food was lovely and great value for money. The Woodlands has a great atmosphere...

Amazing friendly staff great with kids! Great variety on the food menu great value aswell. Overall great pub

Staff were fantastic as was the food. Waiting times were very short even though there were a few tables already seated. Overall fantastic visit and will definitely be back.

Lovely friendly pub, bar staff are welcoming especially Tim and the landlady Natalie

Warm friendly atmosphere, food was lovely and bar staff are welcoming especially Tim and the landlady Natalie

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Excellent service with great food at good prices! Would definitely recommend.

The woodlands is fantastic, amazing staff, brilliant atmosphere. I could not recommend the woodlands enough, I will definitely returning here in the foreseeable future for a brilliant night! My favourite staff members are Yaz and Callum.

The new landlady is lovely always makes us feel welcome! Great pub with a really nice atmosphere!!

Good service, great pint and very reasonable priced soft drinks,

Fantastic visit from start to finish. The team are super welcoming and food was fast and spot on! Would definitely recommend!

Excellent value for money and lovely atmosphere. Great prices and staff very friendly. Great place to socialise or even set up lap top and work for an hour or so

Me and my husband, use to come here regularly for food, today we decided to go for lunch, never again, gone down hill, the fish was cooked in old oil, the mushy peas were microwaved to were they were dry, the bread you got with the meal was the crust of the loaf and toasted to make it look better, but was Rock hard, the butter that came with it was like it had been in the freezer, couldn't spread on his bread, when asked how the food was, we told them that it was poor, all we got was oh I'm sorry, we run a pub, and if my kitchen staff had of sent the food out like that,.they would be told to redo it and not send it out

I’ve been to the woodlands a few times and every single time I come here and it’s a great atmosphere staff are very good the food is amazing I would highly recommend the woodlands to anyone it’s such a great place to come and have a few drinks with your friends or family

Awesome staff and brilliant service 👍 I recommend a visit. The meals are really tasty as well 😊😁👌

Brilliant service friendly staff

We want the old lovely owner back! The New Young women is very RUDE !

Good food family meal quick service consider there were 15 of us

Popped in as our favourite chippy was shut. Food excellent value piping hot and tasty. Great service from Pete behind the bar and lovely food cooked by Tim. We'll be back.

Great food and brilliant new menu. Cheap beer on a Monday 🍻

Brilliant price good variety brilliant service if we ever this end again definitely drop in here again

When we first moved to Allestree over 20 years ago this was a great pub full of people all day and great pub food the landlady Mrs Toe (Dave Toe's wife) run it and it was full every day and night then the brewery for some reason decided to change the landlord and it has gone down hill since.they have done a refurb which means less seating in the bar and the prices have gone up so do not go any more apart from the occasional pint on my way to town. I used to call in every night when it was popular but nowadays every time i have been in there are only a few people in there the old regulars dont seem to turn up apart from Mr Jones the Allestree legend Roy Jones.

Very quiet and very clean -(£2 Carling on Mondays) Deserves more support from locals

Good place to hang out. Decent food

Wednesday is our lunch meeting day. Today we didn't want to go far so decided on the woodlands again.Not a bad choice !!. Everywhere was clean and tidy as usual. Wednesday is pie day but we decided to go for fish and chips. Service was good and the meal came in good time. All was hot and the fish was flakey and firm, spot on. Gentleman on another table had a pie and jacket potato, it looked enormous , far too much for both of us !!!!!. If you haven't been here its well worth a visit. Clean , tidy, good service and food at a reasonable price.

Comfortable Pub, good reasonably priced beers

Absolutely fantastic, wonderful staff and people in there

Stoped by here for tea after a family day out. The food was nice enough, if anything better than I was expecting. Food for 4 and drinks were a little over £30 which seemed reasonable.The place appeared clean and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I would go back again for a cheap and cheerful midweek meal.

Bar staff are friendly and just a all round great pub, it’s affordable and has nice food, would recommend

Wednesday 22 May 2019 12.00. Now as this pub is fairly close to me i never seem to go there for some reason. On getting to the front door you can tell it looks well presented. On entering the lounge you will find it spotless. Clean carpet , very seldom found in a lot of places. Tables clean and not sticky , in fact you have to go and see this for yourselves, we couldn't get over this for such a busy estate pub. We were greeted by Lauren who was very helpful and a credit to the management. Although Wednesday is pie and a pint day we decided to try a steak for a change . These can vary big style between pubs so its a good comparison. We both went for a steak with cheese topping ,tomato and pepper sauce, onion rings , chips and peas. Service was in good time and the presentation was good, but now the test, how is the steak?. Spot on , cooked perfectly and tender , well cooked chef !! . All was very good. For a change we decided to have a pudding , Sticky toffee with custard , yum, went down a treat to finish an excellent meal. It takes a lot for us to give 5 stars but this was very well deserved. Nice surrounding , excellent food. We will be back.

Not sure why under 18s not allowed in main bar during the day. Not very family friendly

Very nice the menu was good and the place was very busy

No decent beer - everyone drinks lager in this pub.
