Woodlands Restaurant in South Staffordshire

We were booked in for a family anniversary celebration for a party of eighteen for a three course Sunday lunch . The meal was excellent all served at the same time no one was waiting for there meals to be arrive. The starters, main course and deserts were exceptional. The staff serving could not do enough for us, the drinks were bought to us promptly when needed . I would definitely recommend this restaurant the food and service was of the highest quality.

I was hesitant when booking as I had left it late and there were 12 of us but they were able to accommodate us with no problem. I had to make a deposit of £5 per head which was no problem. They asked if it was a special occasion and I told them. It seems to be a place where a lot of birthday meals take place. A lovely setting and the set menu is good value. The food is good quality and the staff are attentive. They brought out a board for the birthday bot with chocolate brownies on. A nice touch. The roast potatoes weren't great but everything else was lovely.

The restaurant was fully booked. In fact we were one of four tables that were there to celebrate a family birthday so there was a great atmosphere. We had a lovely table for four, right by the window so we had a fabulous view over the golf course and beyond. The food was of excellent quality although the menu choices were rather more restricted compared to our previous visits. The waiting staff were very friendly but young and inexperienced. They could have all done with some proper training as there were a few faux pas at the table. In spite of a few minor shortfalls, the overall experience was very enjoyable and very good value for money. We will most definitely be returning.

Annika tended to our table of 10 brilliantly.. We all made amendments to the menu and the whole team was nothing but gracious.. The service was incredible from start to finish and the food was incredible.. We shall certainly be returning. Not to mention the special attention annika paid to the fact it was my birthday gifting me with both a cake and a cocktail.. Service with a smile, professional and friendly she was certainly a fantastic advocate for the restaurant Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Based on reviews , we thought we would give the restaurant a go, as we were visiting family in the area. We went on the steak night which seemed a good offer and included a bottle of wine. On arrival, a waitress came over and said our table wasn’t ready and took our drinks order and gave us menus to look at. She then came back to take our food order which I found very strange while we were still sat in the bar. The restaurant itself lacks atmosphere which is very disappointing. It didn’t feel like a restaurant but more just a room. The food was ok/nothing special and no better than what you could cook for yourself at home. We had to ask for the bottle of wine of course that was included with the offer. Staff seem stressed and disorganised we thought and bizarrely trying to balance and carry too many plates at a time. Plus points are the location /golf course, but that’s about it sadly. Won’t return.

Very good food , in a well decorated restaurant . Service was brilliant on a very busy day. Would really recommend this venue

Absolutely amazing food with an awesome view and top class service from the very friendly and professional staff...Can not highly recommend enough...Thank you for a very memorable evening 😀

Service and food were excellent. Big thanks to Hannah for making Jayne’s Birthday special. We will definitely revisit!

Sunday lunch. Nice atmosphere, attentive staff. Starters were lovely and nice choices on the menu Beef was delicious, but roast potatoes could have done with another 20 mins in the oven - they seemed very pale and soft. We were also very disappointed with the vegetable selection, which was mainly more potatoes, a few mange tout and carrots, and parsnips. Hardly any greens. Missed broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower cheese, which I would have expected. We were not full by the end of the meal. Overall, it was tasty, but the roast potatoes and lack of veg let it down.

I attended this restaurant for an impromptu meal with a friend at the weekend. I enjoyed the experience of being seated in the bar area, having our drinks order taken, rather than being ushered straight to our table. As we arrived at the allocated booking time, I fully expected that we would need to go straight to our table. Not the case at all! We were welcomed warmly and not rushed in any way. The staff were nicely attired too. It was a relaxed start to the evening and set the tone for the overall experience. The bar and waiting staff were welcoming and friendly from the outset. We were too busy talking to look at the menu initially, so weren’t ready to order when asked. The waitress kindly said this was no issue and returned after giving us more time; with a smile, no hint of it being an inconvenience! The whole ambience of the restaurant was relaxed and enjoyable. Nice lighting, background music at a perfect volume and the whole place is beautifully finished. I can recommend the prawn starter, and the rump steak. I enjoy my steak blue and not many places can get this right. Extremely tasty and the perfect temperature. My companion had a burger which looked fabulous too! We rounded the meal off with a chocolate brownie which was just the right size, beautifully presented and extremely tasty. The staff were attentive throughout and checked our starter and mains were satisfactory, as well as topping up our drinks without having to ask. Couldn’t fault the experience, will definitely visit again!

My partner and I had the chefs special, this was the Lamb rump with a pea puree, fondant potato Absolutely amazing has of to the chefs The waiting staff was so attentive and friendly to.

Amazing food and service! You can come to this without being in the golf club. Hannah, Clare and Dolly served us, and were all super professional, friendly and down-to-earth. Not to mention how delicious/high standard the food was!

We came for a valentines meal with friends. Food was fantastic, service exceptional and the whole evening was just brilliant. Highly recommended and we'll be back!

First time at this restaurant and really enjoyed the whole experience. All the staff were professional and courteous. Our service from Hannah and the team was fantastic and the food was very good and reasonably priced. The chocolate brownie was amazing 🤩 Lovely small restaurant with a nice ambience….. Had a lovely anniversary meal and will certainly be returning! Thank you to all.

Excellent food and service attention to detail gluten free vegetation always great choice Best Sunday lunch in Stafford

Beautiful surroundings, delicious food and excellent service. Pleasant and relaxing room. Will certainly go again.

Delicious food. Great service, polite staff, staff went above and beyond, overheard that it was my birthday, and surprised me with a complimentary dessert with ‘Happy Birthday’. Would highly recommend. Will be coming back.

Went for Christmas meal with friends but the festive menu was disappointing, no Christmas pudding and poor choice of desserts. Another party there had crackers etc but we weren’t even offered any. Was told that they had a pre-ordered menu. My husband is a member of the golf club and on the email they sent him there was only one menu (which we had) with no option to prebook our choices, plus there was no mention of this on the website and we certainly had all the trimmings last year without pre-ordering. That said, the quality of food was good. Must improve before we return next year.

Lovely place, lovely staff, food 6/10! I feel the good could do with a little updating. Make it a little more exciting than run of the mill. Husband did y enjoy the steak was too tough. I did enjoy my meal as did the family. I really enjoyed my visit and shall be back. I just wish the menu had a little more exciting options?

Had an amazing time at the woodlands restaurant the food was exceptional and serves in a timely manner. The staff are excellent and the young gentleman than served us could not of been more accommodating and polite. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

Food good,service very good,added a few nice touches to our evening and we really enjoyed it.lovely surroundings in the country and not a bad golf course too.Will go again.

Restaurant was very clean and considering we were there in the heat of September the room was really cool. The choice of meals was excellent and all cooked very well and hot. The staff went out of there way to make you feel at ease and where very friendly. The evening was finished with a drink sat out on the patio, peace and quiet with just the evening bird song.

Another wonderful meal combined with impeccable service from Paul and Naomi. Lovely touch from the team with an anniversary message on a wooden platter. The food was divine and mouth watering. Not been for a while but the quality is still as good as always....

Had a fabulous meal here to celebrate a special event for 20. The food was amazing. The staff attentive and helpful. Nothing was a problem. Food was well presented and so enjoyable. Everyone was very happy with their choices. A big thank you to Hannah...

Excellent staff , professional but friendly. Food Was excellent quality and ambience was excellent. Really enjoyed my birthday meal Thank You

Excellent setting and excellent friendly staff. Made to feel very welcome. However food was mixed. Gammon was tough and fish was very greasy. However, salmon and chicken were good. Overall a good experience but let down by the food.

We were frequent visitors. The staff made you feel special, especially Natalie, and nothing was too much trouble. It appears she has now left as well as other experienced staff. This can clearly be seen with the service and food. Hugely disappointing especially as I...

☆☆☆☆☆ This place is my go to. Always can expect great service and wonderful food. We have been to functions, family birthday meals, date nights and every time it's wonderful. Our last visit was a Sunday lunch and it was just brilliant. Returning customer☆☆☆☆☆

We have been before and enjoyed it on this visit the menu was underwhelming food very mediocre mostly bought in, and the service was appalling owing to large groups being there. Will definitely not be going again.

Beautiful restaurant. Stunning views. Food amazing. Natalie and her team couldn't have been more attentive. Natalie went out of her way to personalised our experience and create a memorable afternoon. Our whole experience today was nothing else than perfect.

Just amazing!!! Thank you to Natalie and the team for such an amazing night. The food was perfect as always. To have a live pianist’s playing music whilst eating our meals was such a nice touch. I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Thank you...

We are regular visitors to this amazing restaurant. Food is of a high standard and always tastes fantastic. The staff are brilliant and the service you receive is always to a high standard. Would highly recommend Woodlands Restaurant to everyone.

Fabulous Sunday lunch today. All 5 of us had something different and all thoroughly enjoyed our food. Great value for money and service was fantastic. Slightly disappointed with the smallest crème brûlée I’ve ever had served in a tiny tea cup!

Fabulous evening enjoying steak night. Great price, food and staff. Well worth a visit anytime but highly recommend the Steak night every Wednesday and Thursday evening.

First stay at The Chase Golf and Country Club to break the journey home from Bristol to Hexham. What a find! Lovely welcome, shown to our very comfortable room by Natalie who was charming. Booked an evening meal in the Woodlands Restaurant which coincided with...

Once again a fabulous Christmas meal here. The food is always superb, and the staff cannot do enough to make it special. Can’t wait to go back again.
