Good food friendly staff good atmospere good pub grub not overpriced but the price of the drinks make it to some a over priced meal for familys where drinks are dearer than the food.

Today we celebrated twenty years since we first met, so wanted a nice lunchtime meal out to celebrate. Hadn't been to the Woodman Inn for over five years and have to admit we were pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely superb, with everything cooked to perfection, in fact my wife said it was probably the best steak she had ever eaten, which is praise indeed. I had the Halloumi flatbread with Tikka sauce which was extremely mouth watering. The side dishes of chips and onion rings were perfectly cooked too. We finished off with two ice cream sundaes that had Mars and Maltesers pieces in them. If you have a sweet tooth I can truly recommend those Sundaes. The staff in there are extremely friendly, really helpful, attentive and really make for a welcoming atmosphere, which is really what you want to celebrate a special occasion. The prices are extremely competitive, so will certainly be returning there again.

Haven't been to the Woodman for quite sometime, but after recommendations from a friend I decided to take my family there for a Sunday teatime treat. Will we go back again' Yes most definitely...Good food, reasonably priced with a great range of Beers & Cider. The Three lads that were working behind the bar and front of house were a credit to the Pub, very polite & attentive...nothing was too much trouble. Thanks Guys for a lovely afternoon.

This pub is a little gem. The food is delicious and exceptional value for money with various deals on offer most days of the week. The staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. We have been coming to this pub, off and on,for over thirty years and have never been disappointed in either the quality of the food on offer or the friendliness of the staff. If you're in the area and looking for a welcoming place to eat where good quality, tasty food is served and the assurance of excellent, friendly, customer service, then there is nowhere better, in our opinion, than The Woodman at Codsall.

Been a while since I have been to the Woodman but I was pleasantly surprised. Service was good and the food came out really quickly and when it did it was also delicious. Went again and not as good as the first time, no burgers available, staple food for a pub like this so was surprised. Table sitting near were swearing and being rude so not really recommend it you have small children.

Popped into the Woodman Inn on Sunday, part of Greene King. Pretty quiet for a Sunday especially with football been shown. Ordered turkey carvery via the Greene King app but told that the turkey was gone so opted for beef instead. Only £8.49 for the meal and a cup of tea for £2.19. Food was good though meat seemed very square shaped. There were only 2-3 vegan main meals available on the menu. Service was reasonably quick. Gents was a bit smelly though looked clean. Plenty of TVs on the wall showing the footie.

Having been here several times over some years, we expected the same standard and service. Unfortunately we were very disappointed on this occasion. The three of us ordered our meals which were all different. One had Hunters Chicken, another had Steak and ale pie and the third had gammon on a skillet. When the meals arrived the gammon was not served on a skillet missing the onion rings, the Steak and ale pie the pastry casing was to thick and dry. As for the Hunter's chicken well what can I say. It was ordered with mashed potato which looked greenish the chicken breasts was in fact one breast cut in half with a very small amount of cheese and barbecue sauce. It was returned as it looked extremely unappetising and not to the the description of the menu. When I asked a member of the staff for some mustard I was told that they had run out as well as the onion rings. One ordering further drinks they had also run out of lemon's. From a replacement meal of Steak and ale pie, beans were ordered instead of peas but no bean's arrived on the dish but peas. For a pub of this size and being very popular the standard has greatly dropped even under new management. This destroyed the whole evening as in previous visits it has been excellent. To make matters worse there was also a power cut.

The fish was exceptionally nice, so fresh and lovely thin and crispy battered. Both meals came out quickly and were served hot! Honestly couldn’t fault it. Lee who brought out our meals was attentive, nice and polite. Shall definitely be going again.

Positives? The two staff serving were great, very polite. That's the good bit over with sadly. The food took a long time considering the place wasn't busy and the best I can say about it would be that it was edible, the "signature" Jamaican chicken stew looked very little like the picture, there was very little effort made. None of the sliced spring onions, chillies, peppers as described, was just some tasteless chunks of chicken in a rather stodgy brown gloop. We added peri peri sauce to it to give it some moisture and taste. No-one came round to ask how the food was so I didn't get the chance to talk about it to a member of staff until we had eaten (we were very hungry and didn't feel like running around trying to find staff) and I'd paid, the guy behind the bar apologised and said they had recently had a new chef. An excuse we've heard before. It's just lucky for the pub that the nearby Chinese takeaway was closed last night or we would probably have left the food there and then. New (old) management, same old issues unfortunately.

Havent used this pub for visited some time, but good menu and food was served well, good portions especially as on a deal Staff pleasant. As a Wed and early evening, lounge was quiet. Only thing that let it down for me was the ladies. The ledge and skirting behind the door really needed a clean. And perhaps toilets need a regular recheck. But on the whole a pleasant meal. We will try to visit again when in the area.

Decided to grab some dinner about 1pm as we were passing by, we ordered the millionaire’s burger, fish and chips and lasagne with a side of chips. All of the chips must have been yesterdays leftovers especially since we were one of the first people to order, as they were all brown, shrivelled and rubbery. The mushy peas were crusty and dry and the lasagne (or lack of as there was barely any there) was burnt. The best thing about the entire visit was leaving! Cost £40 for three pops and three crap small portions of food.

Didn't go for food so can't pass judgment. However, we visited for the Newcastle United vs PSG game. The bar area is rather small but this only adds to the atmosphere. The locals aren't afraid to get involved and happy to talk with you. Nice little fireplace, a shame that it wasn't used but has potential. The service gets a 4 rather than 5, only due to at times, there was a considerable wait despite being the only one waiting. This is the only thing to let it down in all fairness. Will be returning for future games.
