Woodman in Peterborough

Love the woodman but disappointed I can never have a hot drink as they don’t have non dairy milk. I was offered semi-skimmed! Not great if you’re lactose intolerant.

This pub is fantastic, staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble, the menu is great with plenty of choices for everyone, plenty of drink selections, great view over the golf course, sit outside or in the lovely conservatory, can’t recommend it enough.

Must be one of the worst Sunday roast tried

My first time here friendly staff and and fantastic meal I will be going there again for mine and Sarah's siver engagement anniversary 😀 😋 😊 on 1th January 2025

Called in here on Friday 4th October. Have just read some bad reviews regarding food but, as we only called in for a drink and bowl of chips, cannot comment. The Chips were good. Loved the pub and its location. First time we have been. We stay in our motorhome at Ferry Meadows and normally bike to The Boathouse but the area was flooded. One of the wardens recommended The Woodman and so accessible from the park. Will definitely visit again. Sat in conservatory overlooking golf course. Nice outdoor seating area when weather good. Also, dog friendly.

Had a wonderful evening at the Woodman with 23 of my family to celebrate my birthday Food was served all together and was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were very friendly. An ideal venue that we have used previously and would certainly book again. Thankyou

I do alot of walking and I came across this pub lucky me they had a deal on a pint Carlsberg £2 was feeling hungry decided to have hunters chicken 11.99 or 2 for 15.49 what a great deal plus the best thing it tasted great.

Not bad value and convenient location for the golf course. They do tend to underfill drinks especially when ice isn’t added.

Cosy, welcoming venue. Had a meal with family and friends here. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was arranged for a large group efficiently and communication was seamless. Food served in a timely fashion, everyone enjoyed their food. Veggie and gluten free menus too. Excellent choice of drinks. Dog friendly and child friendly location. Children's play area to keep the little ones busy and colouring sheets/crayons too. All against the lovely backdrop of the golf course. Thank you Carol and Team.

Noisey, poor quality and little or no interaction with staff. My Pie was hard and the veg was luke warm my wife's Lasanga was tasteless, my firnes meals were less than the best. Unfortunatley we were the when a football match was on in the bar area which was fairly busy so overall the antmosphere was of a pub and not a resturante.

Terrible customer service! Avoid!

We are footie fans so the Woodman is our local when we play Peterborough, wouldn't go anywhere else! We look forward to visiting and it's out local away from home. The food is amazing and service is so fast. The staff are lovely and the view over the golf course is beautiful. Visited yesterday and roll on our next visit.

On Tuesday 17th Sept 2024 the Woodman, Carol organised what seems to be an annual fund raising day for macmillan cancer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Carol and her team for all the hard work they do/did to make the event a total success, the weather couldn't have been any better for golf .we where welcomed with a smile,bacon sandwich and a nice goody bag with water for our round of golf .most of all I believe there was something like £1300.00 plus which I think on behalf of Carol,staff and the Woodman was a great achievement. Thankyou Carol for all your hard work and I hope this annual day will continue to raise money for a wonderful deserved charity

We went last night and it was a terrible service. We ordered chicken shawarma and beef burgers as our mains. The food came in 5 mns. It was horrible. I had returned my dishes back and asked for hunter's chicken. The burger was below average. My food never came back even after waiting for 40 mns. The service is absolutely terrible. I guess the place is now mostly catered to drinks and nibbles. Very dissatisfied.

Lovely meal Sunday evening. And enjoyed listening to the quiz, and will participate next time! The service is always great.

Fabulous food, nicely cooked and well presented

Wonderful roast dinner and Carol brought us extra gravy, it was delicious and plentiful, definitely coming again

First time at the woodmen. Sunday lunch, food was delicious, service was first rate and very friendly. Price was very reasonable. Would well recommend to all my friends

Staff and managers customer experience skills are second to none.

My wife and I went in to the Woodman for lunch. It was very pleasant to sit in the conservatory overlooking the golf course. The menu was as extensive as any other chain pub and our food was delivered to our table in good time by a cheerful lady who ensured we had evrything we wanted. The food was hot and tasty and you cant ask better than that. We were there at lunch time and the place had a good atmosphere going with two or three families a few golfers and others just enjoying a drink. The garden on the edge of the golf course would be a perfect place to sit and I saw that they will deliver food too your table outside. All in all a lovely visit with great service, lovely staff and food.

The food could have been better, but the service and the pub itself were very good.

A very pleasant pub , food was great, reasonable price, staff were friendly and happy to help

Had a lovely meal gammon and chips

My children used this location for a surprise party for me and they were very accommodating, its in a lovely location nice area outside too

The food is very reasonable price. Two mains for £15 is excellent. Quality is ok. Service was very fast. Staff friendly and came to check food was ok. I think it is reasonable to say that the pub is overdue for a refurb though. The menu was filthy sticky and covered in food residue which was off putting maybe just the one on our table? But maybe something that could be checked from time to time? Some of the chairs are grubby the floor still has Caution tape covering a trip hazard that has been there some time now. So come on Greene King spend a few quid tidy the place up a bit. Give your hard working staff a nicer place to work they deserve it.

Food was quick and reasonably priced. We got there just after 12 and nearly every table was reserved. The one we did sit at was sticky and gritty, the whole place could benefit from a deep clean.

Lovely Sunday brunch with Carol and the team, fantastic service and the beer was lovely and cold, couldn’t of asked for a better late morning

Came with a couple friends for something to eat and a drink. When we arrived we went to the bar and was served by a female bartender who was really rude. She was really short with my friend and everything seemed an effort. When I asked for an ice cube in my wine she said ‘you could have told me beforehand to make things a bit easier for me’, which is appalling. We were then essentially told no when we asked for napkins because they were busy with an event on in a function room. The food, albeit pub food, was shocking. Everything came out lukewarm and we had to send a couple things back. Menus and tables sticky. This pub has really deteriorated. Event on or not, I don’t feel like the other users of the pub should be effected, should plan and have more staff off and friendlier staff too. Won’t be going back.

We decided to have a meal out as it was our wedding anniversary and it was a nice day,we did not book, butt was pleasantly surprised that a table was available near the French doors onto the patio. we ordered our food at the bar and the waitress was looking after my wife as she just had a knee operation.the food was lovely and we did not have to wait long for it.

Fantastic steak ciabatta with piping hot chips.

Came in for a family meal, I had the buttermilk chicken burger and it was excellent! Service was great & the staff were lovely

After a long drive from Eastbourne, my wife and I booked into a nearby hotel and (after checking the Woodman's website that that food was 'served until 9pm'), we walked to the pub, arriving there at 20.43. The server behind the bar was busy putting cakes away, and served me at 20.47. I asked for two drinks and a Nacho sharer. She replied that the kitychen was closed. I explained that the website said 2100 hrs but she responded that 'last orders are called at 20.45', i.e. just before I arrived. I saidthat I was not happy because that was not what it said on teh wensite. I explaiend that we had had a long drive and just wanted a light bite and a couple of drinks. However she got teh chef who told me the same thing. I then said that I was disgusted and would take my momney elsewhere. We then left. Due to the way I was treated, my party the next day was 5 people and I had booked a table for lunch. We did not turn up and we wont be going back.

Had a fantastic meal at The Woodman. 10/10 will be returning.

Massively disappointed with the whole experience after a recent visit to the Woodman. A table reserved for a meal for 2, the first issue started with trying to order a meal. My wife wanted to order a starter but five out of six options were not available. She settled for a burger. I fancied the fish and chips but was told it was not available. I ordered steak and chips instead with a sauce. I went to order a round of drinks but it took a long time to get served. I eventually did get served and retuned to my table to find my meal was waiting for me. The steak though was only luke warm and half of the meal was missing. I was informed by my wife that the sauce, onion rings and some chips were lying on the floor nearby. The waiter said she would return soon but forgot. When they eventually arrived the sauce was cold and the onion rings were burned. My wife’s chips were also luke warm with only a handful of chips. I then tried to visit the Gents Toilet to be told that it was closed. We will not be visiting this establishment the next time we visit which is a shame as a meals at a Green King restaurant in Cambridge are always excellent with excellent service.

Every time we visit here (weekday) they've got some aspect of our order wrong. Often forgetting the vegetarian meal altogether or confusing it with a meat option. It's a great location. So it's disappointing that so frequently we have had issues here.

Went for lunchtime drink and snack. Shared bowl of Nachos, was enough for 2.

Food & service excellent. I would also like to say a big thankyou to the young girl who served us our meal, she went over & beyond the normal service as she could see that I had a bad knee.

Warmly greeted by Kush and Becky - nothing was too much trouble. Delicious main course pork dish. Will definitely return.

This pub enjoys the benefits of being in a great ambience outside and in a good location. The food, service, etc were all good and we would certainly visit again.

Everytime we come to the Woodman, we are greeted with a warm and friendly smile. Nothing is too much trouble. Carol and Nathan are professional and friendly and go above and beyond for their customers.

Absolutely great food! Service with a smile and such a great atmosphere! Carol and the staff really welcoming and make you enjoy every moment!

Not the first time we’ve been in and is always Great tasty food and amazing service, both carol and jasmine very welcoming as always

Fabulous place. Excellent food, great staff.lovely beer garden looking over the golf course Recommended

Afrer 18 holes of golf.. we went for a beer.. The San Miguel was flat and then was poured into a bitter glass and topped up. Any bar person knows you don't put lager in a bitter glass..beer was still flat. There were no apologies. Very disappointed. It was busy but no excuse for the service we had

With reference to the review from Mr Arnott. On Sunday, the golf club had their biggest competition, The Open! Carol and her team at the woodman were tasked with serving 150 golfers throughout the day, which they did very professionally and what's more, they did with a smile on their face. There was not one complaint from anyone. I would recommend this place 100% if you want good honest grub and great service with a smile, this is the place to go.

Came here for what should have been a BBQ and ended up with sub standard food cooked in a kitchen This place has seen better days and the quality is worse than Wimpy

Great experience landlady was the best

In response to the reply. 60% isn't a bad review. What you could do, is have a wider selection of beers. But I guess you're limited by GK? So nothing much you can do, no.

Went for a lunchtime snack with colleagues, fishfinger wrap was lovely. Will return.

We booked here for my mums 60th a few weeks back it really was lovely the food was fantastic we opted for the buffet great portions lovely staff and lovely garden we all had a lovely time and will definitely be going back 😊

A lovely place for a more relaxed pub atmosphere, good variety of picky food for a spot of lunch, with lush views onto the golf course

No breakfast menus in the week and they had run out of the spicy 🌶️ sources-not there best day

Enjoy a social drink here with friends, nice and chilled. Friendly staff.

Great location and lots of seating. Service was excellent. Very nice beer garden overlooking the golf course.

Absolutely shocking. Never have any decent meals available. Can apparently only have a mixed grill if you are having 2 because they can't order steak in the correct size and "can't cut raw meat during service times" Absolutely pointless going to this place unless you want gammon, or hunters chicken everything else is always sold out. Wouldn't waste my time in future which is disappointing as it's a lovely place.

Pleasant surrounding hearty pub food and friendly staff

Nice little place to go for lunch after walking your dogs

Food was really good for the price point. Staff super helpful and friendly Would definitely recommend 5*

We had the most amazing afternoon today at the woodman for a baby shower. The two staff on in the morning were absolutely amazing!! Nathan and Ringaile were sooooo helpful and I was high maintenance!! They most definitely went above and beyond to help and make the afternoon perfect!! Highly recommend for any occasion or just for a nice afternoon 🥰🥰

Loverly place Good service Professional staff

Great variety of drinks, nice conservatory area, plenty of outside seating with nice views of the golf course.

Have to I reviewed this pub 5years ago as 4star but wow how things have changed didn't have things on menu wine selection poor and for atmosphere awful as very noisy and lots of foul language think I be giving this place a miss unless it greatly improves

Food was good but not exactly how I expected it. Service was good and the young lady who served us was very nice.

We went there after a long walk at Nene park. The beverages where fresh didn't try the food.

The pub is great. Unfortunately the food could be much better however, the staff are very nice and always provide a great service. The pub is a great place to visit👍

Always good!! Good customer service always enjoy it here!!

The best meal I’ve ever had. Amazing portion sizes and overall a lovely experience. Will definitely be coming back !!!!!!

Had a very lovely time at Woodman. Not many people, great service, amazing burgers, perfect presentation. We have purposefully come to try burgers of the month: chicken kiev and signatures burger and did not disappoint at all. Will definitely come back for another time to have dinner here. Thank you woodman.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. Very well priced and high quality. Will definitely recommend to everyone!

Great food and excellent service

The food was lovely. We felt it was understaffed so they were all rushing around. This affected their customer service, but it was not their fault.

Firstly the wobbly tables that are differnet heights. Why not place two similar height tables together when seating 4? Plus give them all a good wipe down so that hands and sleeves do not stick to the surface of drinks residue. It's the simple things. As for the food, well we waited 45 mins for our lunch to be served ( it was a quiet weekday back in February). The food arrived cold. It had obviously been sitting on the side for quite some time before it made it to our table. The lady did take it back to the kitchen and they reheated it but it's just not the same. Would I return, hmm ???

Pretty mundane experience... The wait staff aren't terribly attentive, half the menu is sold out (genuinely) Ended up ordering the corn ribs and chicken tenders... The corn ribs a were unseasoned and had some mayo and cheap sweet chilli sauce on them...really grim! The chicken tenders were out of a bag, were mega dry and tasteless. Coffee was decent though! It seems they've gotten complacent and lazy as they've got the golf club as a captive market.

Had a good time was not too busy which was good and they have a pool table would recommend if your looking to have a relaxed night but fancy a pint

Had the Signature triple and Chicken Kyiv burgers and they were the best burgers we have had in a very long time. Staff were very friendly and professional. Great view of the golf course as well. Definitely recommend.

Food was tasty and staff was very polite and helpful

Ordered food at the same time but paid separately (three couples) & food all came out at different times. Other half had nearly finished his by the time mine came out, and when it did, it had the wrong peas (mushy instead of garden). Generally not a pleasant experience. Won't return.

Booked the function room for a party, staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice room, fair prices and good food

Absolutely fantastic halloumi fries, scampi and burger. Best cup of tea I've had.

Unfortunately you now have to pay £3.30 to park at the car park used by The Woodman, this has been instigated by Nene Park Trust. No thank you, won't be returning.

A good place to go BUT on the website it said there was free parking. As the only carpark is pay and display, I asked about what to do and the concession has now been removed so you have to pay to park. I am not at all happy about it. There is no street parking anywhere or alternatives.!

The food was absolutely amazing. I must say the service was good too.

Waited over an hour for food, lasagne was dry, no fish left, chips were warmed up and dry. Won't be returning

Polite friendly staff food great and tasty, just need to sort the lights on the sign so you don't miss it.

Loverly food and great service great place to watch the football ⚽

Fantastic establishment led by Carol. I used to be a regular at her previous venue & have now become a regular here! Great food, great atmosphere & their karaoke nights are always a hit!

Good sports on tv, good range of beer and a pool table with a good view looking over the golf course. We definitely recommend

Lovely pub with friendly staff and excellent service. The food was really good and served quickly. Will definately be back.

What a great little find, the Lasagna at lunch was to die for, so authentic. The open fire crackling in the background. The staff were amazingly attentive would highly recommend and can’t wait to taste the lasagna again which I’m sure will take me back to being in Italy. The decor may need a lick of paint in some areas but overall the view where I sat was delightful

Awesome place. Great view of the Golf course and a spectacular burger and pint. What more do you want in life?

Booked a family meal at the Woodman and the staff were fabulous. My lad only wanted dessert, which was brought out with our main meals. Thank you for a great afternoon Carol, Ed and Jules.

The woodman is a nice pub backing on to a golf course. They do nice food and every Sunday they do a quiz which starts about 6.30pm it cost £1.00 per player and you can have up to 6 players per team. Carol,the landlady does the quiz and is quite funny trying to announce some of the questions. It would be nice to get some more teams as sometimes we only get 4 teams. So please come along and try the quiz, you may enjoy it.

What a brilliant pub! The manager, staff, food, atmosphere, everything was perfect. We had 60 people and everyone said what a lovely time they had. The food was delicious! Big shout out to Carol and Nathan who helped me decorate ☺️ they couldn’t have been more helpful. We will definitely be back for food in the near future! Thanks guys x

Chips were cold and brioche bun rock hard, no cucumber on salad.

Friendly staff, average pub food, sports on the tele and usually a good crowd!

Came in after the driving range and super busy. Great service behind the bar with Julie looking to see who's next all the time. Hats off the team.

Had fantastic meal at the woodman with my family .food was lovely and the staff and service was excellent. Highly recommended

Why is it so hard to do home made roast potatoes frozen just not good enough sausage with no bacon don't call them pigs in blanket no extra gray bowls dinner was not hot enough wouldn't recommend for what you pay

Came here for lunch a few days ago and wasn't impressed at all.. The service was good, but the food was terrible... Ordered lasagna which arrived over cooked and burnt, was told it wouldn't be a good idea to have a replacement as that would be over cooked too.. So I had a burger and chips and that was over cooked as well.. A waste of £30 for lunch! Reading other recent reviews it looks like you guys can't do anything right at the moment! Only reason why I didn't put a 1 star is because the lady serving was trying her best!
