Woodsman in Chorley

Came for the Thursday night pub quiz. It is a fantastic interactive quiz. Very good fun. Nice friendly pub :)

Popped in today and what a lovely pub, food was great, not expensive and the beer was nice and crisp, the staff were great and attentive. Kate and Steve were very welcoming, great pub to visit.

Great night, good atmosphere and entertainment.

Fabulous evening with an amazing singer & saxophonist.

Popped in on way home after a day out. Good atmosphere in the pub and served by a nice team. The landlord introduced himself and it was nice to see him ask some unwanted customers to leave rather than just turn a blind eye. Would be great to have a well run local on our doorstep. Will defo be back.

🤩🤩🥳👏🏾👏🏾♥️This place is certainly rocking, since the new owners have taken over. Tonight (1 March 2025) had live artists on a singer and saxophonist my dancing feet. Great Leyland buzz, at the end of our road “The Regulars”. Keep up the fantastic work and a delicious “free buffet tonight” 😋🤤

Always enjoyed going into the woodsman ,it’s a great place to bring friends and family especially children with the new kids corner that is in place ,the staff are always welcoming and understanding and the food is of great value !Always plenty of offers on for food and drinks

The woodsman has been amazing since the new owners have changed the place the food is amazing and tastes so good and the staff are so friendly and nice and the atmosphere is always good, always lively and just a great place in general

Great local, can take the kids, enjoy football and entertainment that’s welcome for every age! Looking forward to seeing what the new bosses bring!

Great local pub with good vibes. Lovely food and friendly service.

A massive improvement in the last couple of weeks.

Lovely pint in the afternoon, nice chilled atmosphere

Popped in for a quick pint and a half of Neck Oil. Good prompt courteous service. We'll be back.... yet again! 😁

a great night out with li e entertainment good bar staff and great landlords too highly recommended

Only live local and my 6year old loves going to watch the football at a pub. So we tried woodsman at the weekend.. good atmosphere busy pub and good chips :) we will be back 😄 plenty of teles also!

Visited this evening just for a few drinks with friends. All was well and comfortable at the beginning of the evening, and then after about half an hour it was noted by friends and I that it was quite cold which resulted in us putting our coats on to keep warm. There were other people who joined our table later who mentioned the same problem of no heating and feeling the cold. We all mentioned to the bar staff how cold it was and to please turn the heating on which never occurred for some strange reason. A message to future customers during this chilly time is to wear layers of thermal clothing because the heating will not be turned on for you. Roll on the summer!

Only had a drink but service excellent and friendly and nice atmosphere on a Friday niggt

Pleasant suprise to find this pub has improved since I was last there around 18mths ago. We didn't eat there just had drinks. However we'll try a meal next time .

We have eaten here many times and all experiences have been great The staff and atmosphere is great The pub / restaurant is spotless There is plenty parking and outside areas to drink or eat food in warmer weather We will definitely be returning

Ordered The Chicken Platter for £15. Whilst edible this was a very poor meal. The southern fried chicken strips were so small it was laughable. The 2 chicken wings were very difficult to find chicken on as so small!! The 1 piece of Cheesey BBQ chicken was small and not cooked well. As for the Southern style gravy it was also tasteless. And don't let us forget the 2 onion rings.....constructively speaking the meal needs a lot of work on portion size and cooking quality so as to be presentable and worth the cost. Would not recommend this place.

Friendly & helpful & food delicious and good quality and tasty and good value.

Not impressed meal was not. Nice meat was chewy. All veg were frozen not recommended was looking forward. To a nice dinner but it wasn’t nice would not reccomend it was a roast beef.

This pub has definitely gone down hill , it needs a refurbishment,the pub felt grotty, it had a lot off single men in it , sorry I didn't enjoy at all , the food was below average, sorry

Just been here for a drink, had one drink then tried to order another the woman working there said she was just busy getting something for someone and wouldn't be long, but never came back. We waited a bit longer but no one came back, it seems like the pub didn't want our custom, very poor service, won't be coming back for a while.

Popped in for a quick charge! First in today! Great service and great atmosphere! Highly recommend!

The woodsman is another great British local from the Punch brand. I came here today to complete some work on site. Ellie and the staff are friendly, welcoming. Photos show this pub has lots of outside tables with a big screen TV, perfect for watching the live sporting events. The woodsman also offers Darts and Pool aswell as quiz nights. Serving menu food with ample seating for large parties this would make an excellent hub for socialising and families. Doug friendly and huge free carpark Great hospitality from Ellie and the team Thanks for looking after me 😎

Food is so tasty and not expensive like some places. Service and drinks are great. We come here all the time, cannot fault

Nice food.. dog friendly and really warm service! Ran out of steak.. but had plenty of other options. Will go again.

Stopped off here as it had two electric vehicle chargers, so I had a cheeky pint. The staff was really pleasant and had the Olympics on the big tv's.

Good place to go for a drink and chat

Lacks atmosphere more plants would help. Great music selection. Bar man clearly unwell and should not been there.

We visited in passing at lunch when in the area. The pub was decorated nicely and had a relaxing atmosphere. The menu had standard pub food but the pizza menu was separate and we didn't find it until after we'd ordered. The food arrived and was piping hot and very tasty. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The toilets were very clean. Had a nice time

Good local pub with decent value food

We ate in the afternoon so it was quiet with no more than 20 people service was immediate welcoming and friendly a tab was opened and I had larger shandy (driving) and partner had gin and tonic seating was varied wide open and even if busy wouldn't be squashed in, The food I had Stilton cheese mushroom burger chips and extra onion rings wow very tasty fresh and filling no cheap ingredients at all, partner had chicken platter and said the wings were the best she had tasted everything was clean tidy and overall very pleasant place to sit and chill while enjoying some amazing food, well done to the staff.

Only made a quick visit while charging my car. I really liked The Woodsman, lady behind the bar was really friendly and welcoming. Had an awesome playlist too which never hurts! Would definitely return when passing again.

Scruffy outside but good food on the whole

Great place for a meal serves piping hot food of good quality and great service

Was quiet when we came in but also dark 😂 the lights were being fixed 😂 food was OK steak could have been more rare to my taste but it was still a good steak bar staff are lovely but it's a limited menu

We stopped here on the way back home from Blackpool and so glad we did. Firstly, the welcome and service was lovely; friendly and professional, they made sure that everything was as we wanted it. Everyone was satisfied from age 9 to 75! Thanks for everything guys 🙂

Great family gathering and the team managed orders seamlessly as we were one of 2 big parties. Area reserved off for us and always on hand to help.

Very nice food,we went on quiz night which was a lot of fun,good service,and atmosphere.

Great food! Great service! Great pub quiz 👌🏼

The staff and food was lovely. Will be going again.

Thoroughly recommend this really friendly relaxed clean place ! Christmas lunch - a plate full of deliciousness! Leigh served us and was a top girl who couldn’t do enough to make your visit really special - thank you travelled from Southport as friends rated it - did not disappoint 😜

Great pub, we popped in on our way to the football at Preston. Very friendly, very welcoming, great beer.

Visited on Sunday for a roast and I will absolutely be going again! Service was brilliant, our server Leigh was attentive and friendly. The food itself was delicious, best roast I'd had in ages. Starters were lovely and kids menu had very generous portions.

Good food and excellent service, can't say more

The absolute best pub quiz I’ve ever been to. It’s so fun and it’s clear that so much effort goes into it!!!! Highly recommend.

Such a lovely pub, and really good service but unfortunately the food wasn't up to scratch. Rump steak gristly, some undercooked (although they happily rectified the undercooked pieces) and the corner edges of the lasagna were burnt (the size of lasagne was disappointing for the price, just as well we ordered a side portion of chips!). The pub wasn't busy so they weren't under pressure. Just a very disappointing visit overall.

Amazing food we enjoy it every time, nicest tikka curry I’ve had in a long time . . Leigh our server was so lovely and made us feel really welcome would highly recommend for food and a few beers

Amazing food! The staff are extremely friendly and always go above and beyond. Would definitely return.

Stopped off to use the EV charger outside on a long drive. Had a really nice lunch (I recommend the chicken burger because the garlic sauce was so good). Great service, pub was really clean and the bartender was really welcoming. Banging playlist too. Will definitely stop here again next time!

The service we received today was above and beyond. My daughter was a little bit of a pain, and the land lady made us feel so welcome and even exchanged part of my daughter's meal due to unexpected sauce issues

Food was great and staff very friendly and helpful - lovely tea out!!

Really good food and nice owners.

Staff went over and above to cater to our dairy free child to make sure she was not left out and enjoyed her meal. Thank you so much.

Fantastic staff and food. Chef went above to make sure our dairy free child was catered for

Loaded chips with Southern fried chicken & garlic dip, sounded nice on the menu what an utter disappointment, frozen chips and 6 of the smallest pieces of chicken that had been cut from again a frozen SF chicken fillet, no dio just a drizzle of it on the food, tasteless

Great local - food is brilliant and dogs are allowed.

Popped in to use the car charger on the car park had a drink and a light snack nice friendly pub

Always loved this place, now new management has taken over its so much better !!

Just a good place to eat and relax

Had a drink and food at lunchtime. Friendly smiling staff and good food. Everywhere was clean and tidy. Thank you.

Just been back for another Guiness. It was terrible. Nobody ther. How a pub can fall this far is amazing. Toilets over flowing with urine . Wot have you done to the pub.

There's a lunch deal until five, whereby a drink only costs an extra pound. The place is very near the motorway exit from yhe M6.

This is a lovely pub with a great choice of beers. The menu looked delicious but we didn't have time to eat on this occasion. We will be back. Dog friendly too, thanks very much

Great place for a bite to eat and a friendly drink. Friendly and helpful staff. Food, reasonably priced and very good... Now under new management, the pub has improved. A great little lunch menu.

Nice cold pint and good food with a friend

I visited the pub yesterday with my partner Very friendly helpful welcoming staff good food and service will definitely go again only little thing although the ladies was cosy and welcoming the toilets may benefit from a more regular check toilet roll hand wash but a lovely pub highly recommed

Great to see pub is doing well again with Carl and Ellie. First time we have been back for a quote a while.

Lovely clean pub with plenty of space and friendly staff. Stopped here with twin babies and two beagles on our way up to Scotland and the menu had a great range including veggie and vegan options. The food was delicious. Close to the motorway and definitely better than stoping at services!

Good place to break down in the car and have a nice cup of tea while waiting for the breakdown people. Shame I couldn't stay longer and try the food.
