Woodman Arms in Isle of Wight

We’re here for the week, came to the Woodmans for dinner on Saturday night and ended up coming back again on Tuesday. Some of the best pub food we have had, the Cajun chicken burger is to die for, as is the steak and frites and the pork belly starter. Just absolutely delicious, fresh, generous portions and great service. Highly recommended.

Visited whilst on holiday here and the whole experience was just fab! The staff were super friendly, the food was delicious, the whole place just had great feel. We will definitely visit again if we come back. Thank you!

Went here as we were visiting the steam railway. Its a short walk up the hill. The pub is very clean and the staff are friendly. The food was fresh and tasty. We had lasagne and my husband enjoyed a steak. All presented beautifully and tasted perfect. Perfect meal to our day out on the trains.

We looked on line and it said the pub shut at 10.30pm. We walked along from the Cedars as it was in our way back to out cottage. It wasn't even 9.30pm. The Pub was shut. Very annoying. We should have stayed in the Cedars. We had a meal in the Woodmans. Nice but expensive. Going to The Cedars from now on!

Tuesday night in early July, 7pm. Not overly busy. Very pleasant staff, in fact really pleasant, Just not that on it. Food was really good, good quality and quantity, reasonably priced too. But there were 9 tables occupied, and the service generally (not the food service which was quick) was, well it was lacking. Waited 15 mins after the bill had arrived to pay and in the end had to go to the bar to seek someone out to pay. When the height of summer arrives and all those tables in the very well appointed garden are full I’d hope the service game will to be upped. It was only the service that let it down, really good otherwise.

Dropped in for lunch, and met with friendly staff. We chose two meals from the specials board, I had the curry, my wife the pork, both meals were fine, and very flavoursome. They are obviously short of staff, as we requested the menu for a sweet, and then sat for 20 minutes waiting for someone to take our order. We were told it was table service when we entered the bar, but after the said 20 minutes decided to pay our bill and left. Staff need to be more attentive.

Really nice little pub, very well located for the Fishbourne - Portsmouth ferry. Family run pub with friendly and helpful staff. We're a family of gourmet who went for Sunday lunch. Food plentiful and tasty. Three of us went for the largest portion roast lunch that they do and it was enormous! Despite it being well prepared and tasty, none of us could finish it. You need a really big appetite or don't have a starter! I'd happily recommend this pub snd we will happily return.

I came here with my mum and dad for Sunday lunch. Food was amazing, a proper home cooked Sunday lunch with quality ingredients at reasonable prices. I really appreciated choice of portion sizes. All of the staff were really friendly and would definitely recommend.

One of the best, if not the best Sunday lunches we have ever had. Extremely pleasant and friendly staff. Real value for money. Would highly recommend.

Attentive staff, Excellent menu choice , Excellent gluten free options, Family run & home cooked food, Hot & well presented food with great flavour. Definitely worth visiting, whether on holiday or living on the Island. .

A group of us met up for a meal. Generous portions and all but one had an excellent meal. We had a problem with one meal which we explained to the manager. He couldn’t have dealt with this more professionally. He really knew his job. Would recommend the lamb tangine, it was superb.

Food lovely and staff very friendly. First visit and definitely wont be last. I had tuna which was on special board, really tasty. Would def recommend, staff very attentive and friendly. Can't wait to visit for their lunch special with a cuppa for a ten pounds.

Nice friendly lunch time meal with friends. Great choice of food on the menu, and also specials board with more choices. Food served quickly and efficiently, piping hot and all very tasty. (Recommend the liver and bacon, not available at many places). All reasonably priced especially the deserts.

We booked last minute for a birthday meal. Staff are lovely and we received a very warm welcome. Food was superb. Don’t know how they are cooking their chips but they are so tasty! I couldn’t finish it all but wanted to. We always recommend this pub as it’s one of our favourites.

Went for Breakfast Highly recommended, Best I've had ,staff very friendly Fab service! Will be returning.....

We had The Woodmans Arms recommended to us at the beginning of our holiday and so glad we decided to eat there. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious and served in a timely manner. I would highly recommend a visit.

Fabulous friendly pub, beautifully home cooked food. A warm friendly atmosphere with good customer service. The dog was even made to feel welcome with biscuits & water. Great value for money, same we are going home tomorrow or we would of been back.

We tried to visit this pub earlier in the week when we visited the steam railway but didn't realize that the food wasn't served all day. It looked a nice place so we were determined to return. The pub had a nice atmosphere to it and was surprisingly busy for a weeknight evening. I had a lovely seafood linguini and my partner had lambs liver. The pub is easily accessible by bus which was great.

Really enjoyed our lunch @ The Woodman's. We both went for a burger, me the chicken breast and my partner the Woody burger and we cleared both our plates, super tasty. Staff were really friendly and attentive. 😄

Early dinner on a Sunday, really really good chicken pie with lots of tarragon and a really nice homemade gravy. Super comforting really well cooked food, exactly what I wanted to eat. Loved it.

Absolutely fabulous experience. Warm welcome by the Landlords Harry, and Ronnie. The food was amazing, simple fresh food cooked with love, some of the salad and veg I believe was grown on site in their vey own allotment. We can't wait to return. Thank you so much for an amazing evening X

Excellent breakfast served from 9.30am. Includes toast and tea, coffee. Good quality bacon and sausage.

We would all like to congratulate everyone at the Woodmans Arms for a brilliant bonfire night. Great organisation and fantastic...

We stayed in a lodge on the Isle of Wight and was going to eat at their pub until we...

Whilst visiting the IOW railway, we got off at Wootton and walked up the road to the Woodman's Arms. It is a very friendly pub and I was able to take my dog inside. I had a BLT sandwich with chips and it came with a lovely side salad. It was hot and more than enough for me for lunch. The staff were friendly and service was quick despite the restaurant area being quite full.

New owners have made a big difference to this establishment with a sensible range of tastes catered for,

We had an event planned at The Woodmans for the afternoon - about 45 of us for a buffet meal. Lovely room set aside for our use - clean, bright, sunny and plenty of space for the group to sit and move around. Great food - good mix of traditional and modern, well presented and huge amounts. Staff very helpful and excellent bar service if needed. Would highly recommend for such groups and delighted with the whole event.

Just had a great meal at this family pub. Service was outstanding, beer and food very good. Good value for the size of the meal. My Gammon Steak was really nice cooked perfectly and very large.Another venue we will be returning too.

Great food and service. Well worth a visit. Had a great Sunday roast. Understandably gets very busy!

Went here for dinner last week. Was served by a lovely, friendly young man. There was a great variety of food on the menu so lots to chose from. The food was delicious, really tasty.We sat out in the garden which was really nicely looked after and had a great play area for the kids.Would definitely recommend it here and will definitely return.

Already left a review in June this year and after another meal here today I felt it only right to say that it is every bit as good on a second visit; lovely food,friendly service and a great atmosphere in that every table was occupied yet it was apparent that the service was friendly toward all despite being a very busy Sunday lunchtime. The only sad point was the weather restricting being able to go out into the lovely garden area this time after our meal but that is a minor thing! This time we both had the salmon,new potatoes and salad with honey and mustard dressing and it was absolutely delicious. Will certainly be returning and highly recommend to anyone thinking of dropping in as even the bar area was as well-occupied as the restaurant. A well-deserved high score on here and a really pretty pub with wonderful food....all anyone needs for a treat from home or a drop-in on your hols!

After arriving on the Island,we saw "The Woodmans Arms" as we drove around.Although it was a Saturday,it was quite busy,but our food arrived quickly.The staff all seemed very friendly. The food had great portion sizes and great value for money...Will definitely return!!!

Decided to visit to have lunch and we were mindful that the owners have recently changed. The food was very good. Really loved the smoked haddock bake. Staff friendly and helpful. Good gluten free options for my friend. Will return.

We tried here on our last night on the Isle of Wight and wished we had come on our first night so we could have come again!Outside does not look that welcoming but inside staff were very friendly and helpful, we got a table in the bar and had really great food and service, lovely.

Since the guys took over this year totally different pub, we live locally, love it food and playground

Really nice country pub serving good quality, wholesome food. We hadn't booked and the pub is very popular, but the staff were very accommodating and found us a table. Friendly staff at the bar, food was very good, and the puddings were to die for! Highly recommended.

Great food and service from friendly staff. Lamb burger was excellent. As was the scampi.Great stop if you are on the Steam rail.

Had a family meal here to celebrate my 30th. We were a large group of people and arrived on a fairly busy night. The young waitresses were very polite and coped very well with the varied requests of all our guests. The drinks order was taken quickly and efficiently even though there was a lot of noise. The food also arrived quickly and was hot. There main menu was a little boring but the specials board made up for this. We would recommend choosing quickly before dishes sell out.There is plenty of parking spaces and a good sized outside area for children to play in.It would be best to book in advance.

Good all round friendly pub that is good value for money especially the Sunday carvery, which is tasty and good portion size. Visited a couple of times during a week's stay on the island and always left feeling satisfyingly full.

Whilst on short break to iow- had evening meal here . Nice friendly staff- good menu - food brought to table very quickly after ordering. food cooked well and very generous portions. This pub will only continue to improve with the new management. would have no doubts to recommend to others.

We had a great family birthday party on Wednesday steak night. We brought our own cake and it was no problem to bring it out for my 83 yr old mother. The waiter made a bit of mistake with the order but they dealt with it in a very professional and obliging way. The young man who's name we don,t know was very attentive and nothing too much trouble. The food was all so hot and excellent quality. They were happy to swap chips for veg. We have been before and will be back. Thank you very much.

Three of us ate here on Sunday at lunch time. Service is friendly and efficient. The two of us who had roast beef (you can choose a large or a small roast) were very pleased with our generous meals, as indeed was the third member of our group, who chose "Greek lamb" ( lamb steak with feta cheese). Garlic mushrooms as a starter were excellent, an imaginative variation on the usual mushrooms in a dish with garlic sauce.). Two of us had king prawns in filo pastry - again, imaginatively served, and delicious. Eating here, seated in one of the window bays looking out at the garden is a lovely experience. Fully deserving of 5 stars.

booked table for 12 on a sunday , food and service was very good sunday roast was superb lovely gravy, you would be hard pressed to get a better lunch anywere on the island ,p.s the chefs special cheese cake the best i have ever had 10 out of 10 .

Quite expensive for what was an 'ordinary' meal. Toilets were cramped with the baby changing facility. Not a very welcoming atmosphere. Maybe it would have been better if we had booked but we had just followed the directions given outside Wootton station. One of us had lamb's liver but it had been very overcooked and was black on the edges. The apple pie seemed to have come from a freezer, to a fridge, to our plates. Tasted as though it needed cooking as the pastry appeared 'raw'? They did make a small deduction from the bill but no real apology given. :(

The Woodmans has been taken over by two enterprising brothers who are leading the pub and its restaurant in a new direction Today's lunch had a good selection of well presented and cooked traditional pub fare but with a interesting special menuThe food and the wine list is well priced allowing people to visit on a regular basis The staff were friendly professional and attentive, keep it up and we will be back

Our food was terrible, service like they didnt care, pricy and over run with staff to the point were everytime you looked up someone different was there.

Visited three times during our one week stay on island. Very friendly staff. Great food at an average cost.

It is my Birthday today,June 16th 2017 and have celebrated with the most delicious lunch in this lovely pub/restaurant. I had the creamy bacon and mushroom pasta and my husband had the scampi meal,both were plentiful and beautifully cooked. The service is so friendly and immediately on entering this establishment after many years since last visiting,I just loved the pretty bar,then the airy dining-area which has a beautiful garden area viewable from the windows and then to sit outside in it with a large wine (a Birthday gift from Harry!)...was just a joy in itself. No doubt we will be returning in a heartbeat. Highly recommended in every respect;the venue,the service,the meal and the lovely garden to finish off. Just beautiful for my sunny June Birthday and has absolutely made my day! Thank you,all of you..especially "Prince" Harry!!

Handy pub that's only a few minutes easy walk away if you find yourself at a loose end in Wootton before or after a trip on the local Steam Railway. It's slightly bigger than it may appear from the road; looks like a dining room extension has been added at some time to the back of the more conventional pub area. All very bright, open and airy, with some very evocative artex-style walls and ceilings in the main room.The specific dining area seemed quite popular, although my pals and I easily found a table opposite the bar at prime weekday lunch time. Clientele throughout very much on the mature side.No funny business on the menu, all dishes staunchly conventional and very familiar. Food arrived pretty swiftly after ordering, and my scampi and chips was perfectly functional. I did like the effort to make the accompanying well-dressed salad more visually interesting, and the perfect cherry tomatoes were especially tasty. My pals had chili con carne, and ham eggs and chips. Not dishes to generate a frisson of excitement but, on the other hand, everything was consumed so there can be no complaints. Subsequently spotted a reference to "specials" on a blackboard (out of our line of vision) by the dining room but nothing was mentioned when ordering. We were on pints during whilst in situ and there was an ample well-kept selection of real ale to keep us lubricated.Staff were friendly and efficient, and it's always nice to get a cheerful welcome when you're not a local.Worth a safe-option visit.

Me and my partner been coming here at least once month for last couple years always loved the food here but unfortunately with what we were served today we will not be returning. Starters have changed to basically a plate of garnish and the onion rings taste like there from Iceland and the so called cheesy garlic bread well terrible there was more greated cheese on the napkin melted so u couldn't even pick to add to the garlic bread. Such a shame really is. For what we got price is not worth it!!

We are regular visitors to the island but have never been to the woodman arms until recently cannot speak highly enough about it fantastic food good value good service we liked it that much we returned the following night for more and would have done so again but run out of holiday we be on the island again in august and we will be back at the woodman arms many times

I held my mums wake here on the 17th May 2017 the owner was very accommodating nothing was to much trouble, the Buffet food/cakes was excellent and all the music was taken care by the owner,I had nothing too worry about, The flowers looked a great they were as well taken care of by the Woodmans. The Staff were welcoming on arrival and thanks to the owner i brought my projector in i was very thankful he agreed it was such a lovely personal touch to see at the wake. Thank you for all your hard workTracey

This is a superbly clean and pleasant public house, that has offered a wide range of delectable foods. I can highly recommend the service and the meals. I have eaten at some of the best restaurants throughout this country and find this establishment to be among the best. The young man that has served us Harry is most welcome in his manner and made our evening very pleasurable. Please try this hostelry out!! You will not be disappointed!!

We had lunch here on Saturday whilst away for the weekend on the Isle of Wight. Very friendly and helpful staff. Our baguettes were excellent and good value too. Good choice of real ales Sat out in the garden which was spacious with plenty of seating. Good size car park but very busy as the pub is clearly very popular. The main meals menu looked very inviting - probably a good idea to book if wanting to eat in the restaurant part of the pub.

As a large family group, we went for an early evening meal. The food was very good, lots of choice, it came quickly and everyone was happy with their meal. There was a children's menu, and options for coeliacs. There was an outside play area for the children. I would go back.

We took a ride on the Steam Railway which was a delight. I saw that a pub was marked at the end of the line, at Wooton, on the OS Tourist map. A Station volunteer said she'd 'had no bad reports' (!) so we walked up the Station Road. Pub was clean and unfussy. A draft beer was recommended and was good. The menu included Liver and Bacon, with potato mash, peas and a tasty gravy. We chose a 'pensioner's portion', (we fit the description). It was generous and fine for a lunch. The dish was freshly cooked, tasty and in all, everything you might want.

My girlfriend and I have been here a few times, for diners and breakfasts. We've generally been quite impressed. The breakfasts are quite big and so a good value. The steak for dinner wasn't the best quality, but it was cooked to perfection. I had it with the surf and turf and the scampi came on a skewer with lemon chunks, which looked pretty cool and the scampi took on the flavour very well and was delicious. The gammon has been a favourite too as it isn't too salty like gammon can be, instead it's fully of meaty flavours. The service was fair to good everytime we've been and I do enjoy a pub that let's you have a taste of the ales before you choose which one to order. They seem to always be trying to improve it too. Would 100% recommend to anyone in the area.Only 4/5 because of oven chips, not the best desert menu, old grubby toilets and few nitty-gritty points along those lines.

We decided upon the woodman arms as it was just 5 mins from our accommodation whilst on the island for few days. I read other mixed reviews but we were not disappointed, the food was great and the staff were friendly and attentive. If we go back to the island we would pay another visit.

Just visited here again and what a remarkable change. Terrible customer service, very young children playing violent war games on the tv. School girls waiting on the restaurant with no idea of service or why they are actually cleaning tables. Tables so sticky its unwise to touch them. The steak was so much grissle and fat we gave up. Musooms from a tin, frozen chips, cold sauce and no offer of refreshments. This eally has becme a dive and one which will never get our custom again

Great family run pub, lovely home cooked food, had roast last two time and both times really enjoyed.

Stopped here for a light lunch after a walk nearby. We only wanted a light lunch and had 3 soups which were very tasty and a pate starter that was also nice.There was a selection of good beers and the service was friendly too.

Ok. Very quiet when we arrived - about 2pm on a Monday. There's 5 of us and we are on holiday on the island. The locals rate this pub and I can see why. We can't comment on the beers etc. but the food was delightful. The menu caters for appetites of all shapes and sizes, starters, light bites, more trad gastro pub fare, fish dishes - then there's a specials board to tempt too. The mixed grill pictured was mine. A habit. I can never decide what to go for meat wise, so there you go. That's a large one. It's as big as it looks! And do bear in mind that the meat is locally sourced. It was beautifully cooked too. All of it. Three of us went for burgers; these are 7oz and come as you are, or you can add a range of sides or toppings. Special mention for the chips! Thick cut and crispy outer, fluffy inner. Chippy awesomeness. The Woodmans Arms isn't part of a chain. You can tell too, the produce stands out. It took me a while to savour my way through the moist butterfly chicken breast, two herby pork sausages, spot on steak and gammon steak... So everyone else had dessert too. The choice was broad, plus a range of ice creams. Given that my meal was £22, (no argument from me!) the total of £80-ish for five meals, 4 desserts and drinks was pretty good. Happy family.

What a find , we are from shanklin decided to try somewhere different for lunch , we all enjoyed our lunches liver and bacon was spot on . Burger was brilliant Silton sauce and fried onion s. Lovely wine. Staff very friendly and professional. Beautiful gardens at the rear. Loved it.

We visited the Isle of Wight Railway with Breamore Club and found this restaurant near to Wootton Station. Quite a few of our party descended on the restaurant at the same time unannounced queuing out the door! They coped very well and we had an excellent Sunday lunch at a very reasonable price. Our drinks were a little more on the expensive side.

Me & my husband visited for a meal, I had ham, egg & chips, the Ham was obviously cooked & sliced on the premises, it was beautiful & the triple cooked chips are amazing, my husband had a gourmet burger that he also said was lovely, he also loved the chips. We were too full up to have a pudding. A lovely little pub, we just walked in on the off chance on a Sunday at 5pm but I would recommend booking a table.

Very disappointed, "gourmet burgers" very dry and not tasty at all. Brie & cranberry panini had lots of the cranberry sauce, not so much Brie. Liver & bacon mash was enjoyed however. Had a long wait as was fairly busy.

We were staying in Wootton so had decided to visit the Woodman Arms while we were there having heard good reports. Three of us were eating there and of the three I was the one most disappointed with the meal. Both my wife and son ate from the main menu and this seems to have been the best choice. Particularly, my son's steak was excellent and the chips outstanding. I tried something more adventurous from the specials board and I have to say that this seems to have been a mistake. If I was basing the review on this dish alone, it would not rate more than two stars. I had bacon wrapped pork fillet stuffed with apple, with a port and mushroom sauce. It reads better than it eats. The sauce was odd having a rather strange glutinous quality. The pork seemed a little overcooked, whilst the bacon was soft and limp. Surprising that both could be achieved, but this was the case.We ate early and the service was OK. A little slow so at busier times this could be a problem.

We came here off the steam train for lunch. The staff were very friendly and we were happy with our food which was good value. The kids really enjoyed the outdoor play area so overall all a lovely visit.

Pretty average actually, but not really worth the journey up from Sandown when there are so many similar places on the way. The food was competent, but the service was painfully slow. It is simply not acceptable to take a booking for a particular time and then tell people when they arrive that there's a 45 minute wait before you got your food.

Stopped off here after lunch for a play and drink before heading back on the nearby steam train just a short walk away.

It was nice that they accepted dogs, so we took our pooch!We ordered our drinks and the Pinot, despite apparently being in the fridge all day was room temperature but we were told that it is cooled and no resolution attempted by staff!!We had a variety of food orders from spag bol, cheese burger to steak. The steak was requested medium rare and was delivered medium but was good in flavour and little fat/gristle. The gammon steak on the other hand was very fatty and the chicken was just a piece of chicken I'd expect from MacD's!Do not question the English mustard that is served as apparently that is what it is! I am yet to purchase English mustard myself that tastes exactly the same as American mustard!!Overall the staff were neither friendly nor arrogant and the food was ok'ish.Wouldn't be visiting again so if you visit with little expectations you won't be disappointed!

We were staying just down the road in Fishbourne so practically on our doorstep. The first two times we managed to luckily arrive and get a table but booked on the third night as it was a Friday and expected it to be busy. We were right but still a very enjoyable meal. We were informed that we would have to wait 30 minutes for our meal which was fine. The other two evenings had excellent service too. We tried a variety of meals but my favourite has to be the mushroom stroganoff. If you have a big appetite then the mixed grill is the way to go. The choice of desserts is also plentiful. We would certainly recommend and definitely visit again when we are back on the island.

Dropped in here for a sarnie lunch and had very pleasant meal in the garden. The children chip tasters approved. There was a nice play zone in the garden as well. Would like to have tried in the evening the menu looked nice.

Having lived on the Island for a few years now I can say this is the best. The food is really well priced with many meals under ten pounds. All freshly prepared and cooked, really delicious. Wednesday is steak night with steak, chips, onion rings, tomatoes, peas for 6.50. Amazing value and the best steak done perfectly.

Having visited this pub several times we always find the food is good, the staff pleasant and the place gets busy after noon. Well worth a visit, children and dogs welcome and a play area for the younger children. Plenty of parking, it's on a bus route and not far from the local steam railway.

We selected this pub as it had good reviews. Lovely setting. Big garden with children's area. Inside clean with friendly staff. Menu classic pub menu. Wednesday steak night at a really good price. Plenty to eat. Good value for money.

Lovely local pub, which serves lovely real food! very nice atmosphere, friendly staff! Has a children's play area outside and outdoor seating! Serves local real ale! Great place

We enjoyed a lovely meal here last week. The portion sizes were generous and staff very friendly. Food arrived quickly which is always a plus! Lovely outside area to sit and play area for children too.

We stopped off for some food at the end of a great day out. The staff were very helpful and the food and drink were really nice. There were plenty of customers enjoying the food and the place had a very relaxed fealing to it. The play area out the back was great for our two little ones and we could keep an eye on them whilst we finnished our food. Would definitely recommend it.

Even giving a couple of days notice we could not get a table on Saturday so we gathered The Woodman Arms was popular. We changed our plans to the Friday evening and even then they just fitted us in. When we had such a superb meal at a reasonable price we understood why the demand. We will certainly call again next time we are on the wonderful Isle of Wight

Lovely food, friendly staff and dog friendly. Good service and the regulars were good too. I had the fish and chips which was really nice.

We met a friend for lunch, but were disappointed by the slow service. When the food finally turned up it was ok, but nothing special. We ordered a coffee at the same time as the dessert, but it never materialized.

This establishment has a lot going for it but let's itself down in other areas. The pub has its own large car park and a lovely well kept outside area including a children's play area. Entry to the pub is directly from the car park but the entry door frame and glass are very dirty and do not create a good first impression. The meals are satisfactory but nothing more than average. Prices are about what you would expect to pay. The table had been cleaned with a dirty cloth and was covered in dry grubby streaks. Service was very good although staff wearing jeans and different casual tops did not endear itself to an establishment serving food. The Woodman's arms has a lovely location and helpful staff but they need to up their game with regards to the food given some of the local competition who are providing better meals at similar prices. Not a bad experience by any means and will try there again in the near future.

Having arrived on a Friday for a long weekend decided to book for dinner. Reviews looked quite good for this pub but I have to say we were quite disappointed.Restaurant was quite empty and the waitress didn't look exactly happy to be there.Starter of pate came with one slice of burnt toast, a prawn cocktail made with the smallest pawns I've ever seen. Main of cottage pie tested ok but looked like sloppy school dinner sitting in a gravy puddle. Gammon looked good though. Pear crumble was stodgy, tasteless and pretty inedible. I wont be bothering again.

Not a great choice. The omelette I had was so burnt it had to be returned. Would really only choose here if there were no other option

Lovely food, great service. Would definitely recommend. The family came here for a meal based on the trip advisor reviews and we weren't disappointed.

Great welcome, good menu, speedy and friendly service. Children's left overs were put into take away containers to be taken home and enjoyed later. The children very much enjoyed the well built climbing frame with slide and swings. We have rarely received such a warm reception. We will certainly visit again.

This is a lovely country pub. Good lunch deals for senior citizens. Just a 300 yd walk from the station.

we popped in here on the off chance and its my new favourite place! The kids really enjoyed playing outside while we waited for the food. The stew was cooked to perfection, and I already want the dumplings again! great kids menu and a decent size too.

On arrival the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We were asked if we were going to be eating, and once we confirmed this, where shown to an available table and given a menu. Food was good pub grub, and was served quickly. The portion size was generous and the food was freshly cooked. I had the chicken burger, which contained a fresh piece of butterfly chicken, which was very tasty. The atmosphere was relaxed and felt like a local pub but new visitors are made to feel welcome. Will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends.

All the food is freshly cooked, and they have an extensive menu. If you are a pensioner and cannot eat a full meal they do a seniors menu which also includes a cup of tea or coffee and there about 10 different choices.

We called in here for lunch on my wife's birthday. There was a great choice on the menu, and the food when served was brilliant. We both had meals that included chips and they were to die for, big thick, chunky and crisp. The choice of draught beer was good and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. All in all a first class experience Thank you.

wonderful setting, and garden area, but really needs updating, food was average . staff are friendly, but definitely for the older style pub and bar

Had an amazing meal here!!!! It was huge and tasted perfect!!!! Really friendly staff too! Highly recommend! The pub is very pretty too with a big pub garden and outside children's play area and good parking!

Visited the Woodmans Arms for a family birthday today and had a great time. A good range of real ale as and a warm welcome. Service was prompt and the food plentiful and hot. The Chilli Con Carne was lovely and spicy and the liver and bacon a huge portion but could have been rarer and with another rasher and more onion gravy.A good place for lunch.

We ate here as a family of 4 (2 kids aged 6&9) - we had tacos, kids nuggets & sausage & mash, and chicken burger - the portions were large, and they catered for French fries, even though it stated fat cut chips on the menu. Overall average pub grub & looked like they appealed to the 'older' generation...

We try breakfasts across the IOW and this one of the best we have tried. Great value for money and the food is excellent. Well recommended.

My husband and i ate here during our stay on the Isle of White and the food was perfect, maybe the prices are a little high, however the quality absolutely justified it.We was in a rush leaving due to bus times and wanted to thank the chef personally, but unfortunately didn't get the chance.When we left we saw a young tattooed woman come out the kitchen and speak to a staff member, if she is the chef then i hope the message gets to her that i was very happy!Thank you

Good food all fresh veg and very tasty .friendly service .we had not booked but we're easely acomedatad by very friendly staff.

Wonderful food. Great beer. Good wine list. Awesome specials board. Young couple work hard to provide good service and good food and wine. Well recommended. Also for families and groups
