Woodlark in East Hampshire

Awesome service. I love it here cheddar and mozzarella bites are yummy

great staff great food drinks are worth the money

Service was nice and quick but food was definitely not as good as the last few visits.

I visited on Sunday 29th September i just wanter to say how helpful Bianca was I have visited several times and she is always so chatty and helpful she makes me feel welcome

We booked here & upon arrival, greeted, seated very well. Waitress very efficient untill it got busy. Then it all slowed down :( Maybe staff hadn't turned up, however, a great meal. We all enjoyed it. One thing restraunt could do is turn the heating up! It was freezing !

Really slow, went for lunch and waited 40 minutes for basic food

Had a table booked for my mums 78th birthday. It was absolutely freezing in the building, we ate our lunch in our costs! Service was terrible! 5 staff members behind the bar cleaning leaving 1 poor girl to wait on tables. Took ages for our food to come out with only 1 jug of gravy between 4 adults. I asked twice for more gravy, which did eventually arrive. Once home I looked at the receipt and realised we been charged for another jug of gravy! Unbelievable!

Good food great service by very pleasant staff

My daughter loves The Woodlark and we come for most of her birthdays. It was a bit annoying to get a call on route saying cash only due to failed card readers. I use apple pay so had no cards. Fortunately my mum who was also coming had cash but I felt awkward inviting her out then making her pay. (I have paid her back). The food and service was amazing as alway. Coffee machine was also out of order so had to have instant. Could you turn the heating on pls!

In the 18mths I've been coming, I've only ever had one issue, but it was resolved fairly with no hard feelings. Every other time, and I'm here more often than I'd probably care to admit... 🤣 It's been good (+). The food is well priced and well cooked: be it fish and chips on a Friday, or steak or burger on one of the specials nights (with a pint 😁). It's become my go to pub if I want some hot food and a cold beer and dont have beer in the fridge and CBA to cook.

Short staffed and service quite slow, food was half decent once it arrived.

We waited over an hour for our food. The food itself was less than satisfactory , and all the steaks on the table were way too overcooked. Very disappointing service and terrible food.

No nonsense, what you see is what you get. Basic food at reasonable local prices. Unfortunately my "rare steak" was medium at best. A basic mistake, but overall good value.

Attentive and friendly staff, the food was really, really nice at an unbelievable low price, just one negative in that our table could have been wiped over a bit quicker after the previous customers left, never spoilt the evening for us though.

Amazing customer service from front of house from start to finish. Food was lovely. Personal choice wasn’t a massive fan of the onion rings or macaroni cheese. But there was nothing specifically wrong with them just not the best ones I’ve ever eaten but still nice. The burger etc was lush. Great service. Price was very fair based on 2 courses.

Steak night, delicious meal, perfectly cooked, and a drink, all for £12.95. Very good value

We visited the Woodlark last week. We ordered starters, mains and drinks.. unfortunately we had an emergency call from our babysitter and had to leave just as the starters were coming out. Kindly, the manager allows us to pay for just our starters and took the mains off of the bill and he seemed genuinely concerned for our situation. What a lovely gentleman! Staff very friendly and food was awesome 🙌🏻 Thank you so much Woodlark staff for your kindness and understanding.

Excellent food Really nice fish and chip's

Good service, good food and good price. Very similar atmosphere to many other such pubs but it was good and we will be back

Excellent food, Very reasonably priced worth every penny. Super efficient friendly helpful polite service by all staff. Quick service with hot and well presnted food. We had the roast Beef. Friendly greeting as as we arrived

Great food, cold beers, lovely atmosphere, pizzas are delicious

We ordered our main meal and sweet together, this meant that when our empty main course plates were picked up and the sweet served my ice cream had melted all the way down the sundae glass and the wife's sticky toffee pudding was stone cold. There were some very drunk (or otherwise) people in there who were exceptionally loud and we,and others, gave up and either sat outside or went home. The steak was frying steak.

Fantastic friendly staff, great food, lovely atmosphere. Fully wheelchair accessible Definitely worth a visit

On two occasions I have attended the pub on a Sunday. Once at 2130 whilst many other patrons were drinking to be blunlty told they were closed and turned away. This evening I have attended 45 minutes prior to close to find the place locked up.

Quality service, great value and selection, tasty food and welcoming friendly atmosphere.

Great food, lovely staff served by Steve who was brilliant, full of personality and really helpful too.

Steve was really good thank for a nice evening

Lovely meal. Friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Steve went above and beyond for us. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Steve was an amazing server created a good atmosphere

Went out for a meal at the Woodlark. Food was very good and came up hot. The steak and ale pie was one of the better piesci have had, it actually had meat in it. The service was very good and our server Steve did a great job, was very friendly and helpful. All in all a nice evening

The service was impeccable a very busy Tuesday evening our Server ChloeM was very informative explaining they were busy

After a bad experience , I put a negative review on trip advisor , Was requested to phone and speak to Steve , No one answers the phone , I have spoken to other customers since ,that have had a bad experience , Staff need to communicate,and compensate,

Very satisfied with .friendly staff Lovely food .the whole pub is very clean Very good value for your money .

Lovely young girl who gave us a lovely comfortable table and was very cheerful all the time that she assisted us. We all really enjoyed our meals and know that we will be back soon!

Great food, lovely service...thank you

Great pub. Good food. Awesome people. Recommend to visit.

Took my daughter out to the Woodlark for a meal. Was blown away with the food and service. My daughter has trouble eating certain foods due to the fat content. But as customers we wood certainly visit again.

Stopped in on a whim, was greated by friendly staff, that even though being busy were more than accomidating to get us something to eat. Staff were attentive to our table, and made is feel comfortable for people not from the local area. Food arrived promptly, hot and was excellent tasting! Would highly recommend!

Amazing team and good food , avoided this place for a while due to negative review but definitely seems to be major improvement after our last visit , will definitely be returning soon

Over from the Philippines seeing family and they took me to the woodlark for a family meal out, Steve and the team made us to welcome we had an amazing night, you English fish and chips was brilliant, crispy batter and lovely chips

Can't fault anything at all from our visit, great atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again in the future when next this way.

What a fantastic place! Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Food nice n hot and well cooked. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic place, the manager Steve is brilliant, very welcoming and warm Highly recommend to anyone

Amazing venue and great food. Steve’s the best!

Really good food! Great beer and all round great service. Management extremely friendly along with the staff! Made to feel very welcome on a first time visit! We will deffo be popping by again!

Great service, lovely food and a good price

Went here a couple of years ago and it was shocking however yesterday was much better. Service was great. Bar staff really nice and interactive with my children. My only hang up is that there was no roast dinners left. I didn't know If there is a set time period for them to be ordered or not though.

A lot better under new management.

Hardly and food on the menu. There was no chicken, no mixed grills, no peas, no tomatoes and no mushrooms. The lady that came over to our table to tell us about the above no’s was very rude and abrupt and not friendly at all. The young girl Millie-Jo was very polite and any question we asked she went out of her way to answer them. If it wasn’t for Millie-Jo then our experience would have been rubbish. This was an evening out for a family member, and it was his birthday. I had to Apologise to my family members who came from 2 hours away for a meal with us, as it was not a good experience.

Went to woodlark for lunch today. Very dissapointing. After 35 minutes asked how long our food would be. After 10 minutes someone informed us it would be 5 minutes. After a further 10 minutes my husband asked how much longer our food would be. He is diabetic and needed to eat. A member of staff informed us it was being plated up. Finally got our food after 55 minutes. If someone had informed me when ordering the food that it was going to take so long I wouldn’t have gone ahead with the order. I did complain to the manager? Who said he was sorry and would sort something out. He never did sort anything out. Left dissapointed.

Food arrived hot but over cooked and was very basic. Bar staff seemed to forget where they were, near family section, and language used was appalling with young children around. Would not return for family meal again in a hurry, disappointed as waiting staff seemed friendly.

Nice friendly pub. Serving Tasty Food. A great place to catch up with friends.

Excellent evening, food, drink and service was all on point

Food awful, microwaved to boiling point!

Hadn't been here for a very long time though we would give it a try and very surprised food was hot and very well cooked staff very polite and welcoming

Fab night with the karaoke! Absolutely packed out. Great atmosphere and even the table who left the negative review seen to be having a great time! Well done Steve and the team!

Arrived at 7.30 pm for a booking, was tols to sit anywhere. Service was slow, the pub was practically empty. Took 45 minutes to order pudding as the server was missing our table. Just slow servace and food was average Disappointed for our local pub No one asked about allergies, or informed us that they served coke and its pepsie. Lack of knowledge on drinks. Server was not wanting to engage in conversation much

Came upon this pub by chance, they were very busy in the restaurant but offered to make us a pizza, I am not a pizza lover but went with it. Well I was blown away, hats off to Daniel, the pizza was the best I had ever tasted... amazing will definitely go back.

The place has gone down hill, fast! We were regulars and always enjoyed visiting but what the hells happened? No staff left! We came in, didn't get served for over half an hour. Myself and another customer had to wave down the only gentleman behind the bar, who was also the only one serving tables. Food came out in drips and drabs. When they collected the plates, they didn't ask if we wanted puddings, and we just assumed they'd come back... they didn't! We had to, again, wave over the gentleman who took our order. He then went off shift and our puddings didn't arrive!! 30odd minutes later I had to ask the lady who'd taken over from him, and the puddings weren't even ordered! This place used to be so lovely, with lovely friendly staff, and quick service. Where did everyone go!? Such a shame

Nice food plenty of seating indoor and out ..only 2 disabled parking spaces .

We visited this restaurant yesterday and it became apparent quite quickly that they had no staff. Everybody seems to have left and apart from a lone man serving behind the bar I saw many tables with people just sitting there with no drinks looking abit bemused. We left and went to the chocolate frog in oakhanger

Hot tasty food, good value for money. Friendly team.

We are regulars at the Woodlark but just recently the service and the food have gone a bit down hill I don't know if it's a change in staff but there is just no customer service and yesterday was the final straw for us we were left sitting at our table waiting for service and eventually had to go to the bar to order then when the food arrived I had to ask for some to be replace as it was way over cooked so disappointing we liked our afternoon meal here we will have to find somewhere else now

Hy it's was the first visit thourghly enjoy my visit very busy place could do with more staff 😀

Something different on this occasion different staff no female staff service terrible not ask once if everything was ok if we had been ask we would have said the 2x gammon steaks we ordered were terrible under cooked and stringey the sweet we had were not warmed still cold rocky road sundie not in a glass desert dish but in a soup bowl and not compete bits missing normally we can rely on a good meal out not today not what has happened?

Enjoyable evening at the woodlark. Tasty food with quick service. Highly recommend

Every time I come I end up thinking I must come here more often. Generous portions and old school pub fare that won’t break the bank. I considered giving 4 stars for the food because I usually reserve 5 for something spectacular however for what it is the food here is top notch. There is a great varied menu with vegetarian options and loads of pub classics. I’m over going to over-priced “gastro pubs” and being disappointed.. this place is local, friendly, good value and they have a MENU FOR DOGS!! not just biscuits which they do give for visiting pooches (and regulars) but you can get sausages or even a Sunday toast for your furry friend. I’m a little more dubious about the veggie options on the dog menu but hey they have got you and your weird ideas covered! Looking forward to taking my companion species for another visit soon!

Great value for money and excellent service

Staff are always friendly, atmosphere is good. And generally always have a good time.

The food and drink was good value for money

We had user in a Wheelchair and were really impressed with the access and the high (but not too high) tables which we could all sit round. Food and service were excellent despite them being really short staffed onthat day. Will definitely go back and recommend!

Good selection of food, especially Specials. Decent enough for vegetarians. Good daily offers too. Great staff and atmosphere.

Whilst the food was great, the service was terrible! It took over an hour for us to get our dinner. We would usually have pudding but didn’t as it was too late for our youngest by the time we’d finally eaten dinner.

Booked a table for our wedding anniversary. Got there, food was over an hour wait. Very disappointed. Had to go elsewhere

Friendly, efficient and very good food

Lovely meal, good service waitress chloe made the evening very polite and bubbly.

First time I had been back to the woodlark since new management. Staff very polite and helpful. Easy to book a table online. Food very nice and reasonable prices. Will definitely be back. Thank you

Great steaks and great service - we were well looked after by Chloe M

The woodlark is a our local and we love it. Definately recommends it

Staff very welcoming on arrival. Drinks order taken swiftly and food delivered was on time, very tasty and hot. Service was extremely efficient.

Website and Google state 11am open time. Is now 11.30 and no one is answering the phone or unlocking the front door. Terrible place AVOID

Lovely evening out. Staff friendly. Food good.

Party for 13 of us tonight. Great food, good service. Reasonably priced. Really had a good time. Hate the ordering app though! Will get used to it!

A pub/restaurant close to home that we really don’t use often enough. We found a table, relatively busy but still tables to choose from. We ordered the ultimate chicken burger each and were pleasantly surprised. Good pub grub, piping hot, the burger was huge. The pub has a lovely feel to it, which I’m sure is helped by the lovely staff they have. We will be back sooner rather than later.

Everything was fine. My only issue was that several of the vegetarian dishes were not available. We were also surprised that a regular Margeritta pizza was not available.

Although a lot not on the menu due to you being so busy what we had was very good . The service was also very good . The live music was an absolute bonus and fun .

Great food with excellent service at a very affordable price.

Nice meal, all the staff were lovely. Friendly, helpful and very efficient.

Visited with my sister for my birthday meal, the food was lovely and all staff very polite and helpful. A really nice environment to relax and enjoy our meal.

We went down The Woodlark for a meal without realising it was their weekly Sunday evening bingo! As we were there, we decided to participate for a bit of fun. The lady calling the bingo (Vicky I believe) was really lovely and very helpful. She explained what we were doing regarding bonus games etc (we've never played bingo properly before), she kept checking in between games that we were OK and understood and was managing to follow her ok. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely being going for the Sunday Bingo more often. Great place, lovely food and really lovely friendly staff!

Food was really nice big portions for me but very much enjoyed clean and tidy place

We live locally to the Woodlark, so it it very easy for us to pop down. They have great variety and is good value for money. We mostly come down as a family for a meal out. Every 1-2 months. The only thing I would like to see on the menu would be a fruit option like an apple pie/crumble something like that to add to it. It’s always been a very positive experience at the woodlark and i especially love going there to have a roast.

The family had booked Woodlark for a wake. They were very efficient. However, they forgot that I have allergies and nothing had been prepared for me to eat. They did rectify this issue by offering any meal I was able to eat from the menu. The food was excellent, very well cooked and tasty. I would definitely recommend the fish and chips! There needs to be more Disabled parking spaces as I wasn't able to park where I needed to. The staff were amazing and very apologetic. They had a full section of seating prepared for all who were attending. All in all, it's a very good place to eat and would highly recommend Woodlarks

Nice food if your not expecting anything special. That said the food we had was very good and nicely cooked. A quiet atmosphere, this was in the evening. Staff was pleasant and polite. Would recommend as somewhere to have a nice meal

Birthday lunch with friends. Very enjoyable all round.

Great value for money and very attentive and professional staff. We visited at a busy lunchtime and there were several retired couples enjoying lunch which is always a good sign that an establishment offers good value for money.

A lovely evening with family celebrating my daughters birthday, food delicious, atmosphere lovely and staff friendly and helpful.

The service was great, food was lovely and very efficient. Nice atmosphere to dine in. Waitress was helpful with special menu requests. Reasonably priced. Would visit more often if there were more vegan options on the menu.

Great place for a Sunday roast very good price

Excellent service and excellent food. Will visit again and won't leave it so long.
