Woody's in Kingston upon Thames

It used to be a great place with quality food. last few times the quality of the food was really poor, serving us undercooked chicken in a burger.

Love this pub on Kingston Riverside. Have never actually tried the food, but atmosphere is amazing. Staff is super cool and friendly. They have authentic Czech beer on the tab. And sometimes, if you are lucky you might have live dj's performing. Don't wait no more. You will thank me later

Peach lager was exquisite in the sunshine

One of my favorite places. 💕💕 My friend and I randomly sat down while walking and it turned into one of my favorite places. I don't have the chance to go there often because I live far away, but I sometimes stop by Kingston just for this place. 👉 The staff is very friendly. 👉 All the snacks are delicious and the cocktails are affordable and sooooo tasty can compete with good cocktail bars. Huuuuge bonus, it is pet-friendly. 🐶 🎷 You are lucky if you come here especially when there is a live jazz music outside!

These guys are amazing! Great staff and lovely place for a drink 😀

Let me cut up my mango, thank you :)

Woody's is a cool hang on a beautiful part of the river Thames at Kingston upon Thames riverside. Great selection of beers, cocktails, wine etc. Punters are mainly students but they know how to behave. Manager is Fran (awesome) and staff are wonderful Good vibes only. Highly recommend JV

Staff is always friendly and helpful, love the vibe and their fries and garlic bread are really good

Nice outside space for drinking into the evening

“Smash” burger is 4 inches thick. Bhagies taste like nothing. Chips need salt. Service slow despite more staff than customers.

Always pleasant and wonderful location. A few more dishes to accompany wine

Do not order chips, it sucks all oil

Nice selection of cocktails, menu is handed to you in what looks like a child's Ladybird book! Riverside & interior seating. Seem to have events (ie Vinyl nights, MarioKart tournaments etc) every week or so. Staff were friendly enough. Slightly on the pricey side, however taking the riverside location into consideration it probably fits.

The food was amazing, service was excellent, and the selection of alcohol were top. 👍🏼

We only had coffee there. But very nice

Nice spot by the river. Decent pint too.

Great independent cafe on the bank of the Thames with good selection of beers, including craft beers. Great burgers here. Conveniently located for shopping in Kingston.

it's ok but one look at the poorly photocopied menu should of told me all I needed to know. don't bother eating here.

Great service. Expensive. But it's Kingston riverside. Expensive is expensive is expected. L

Woody's is a super trendy pub with unique interior decor (check skateboard seating booth with skate park style floor, mannequin covered in lights & bath). Just went for a cold beer & sat outside on wooden seating/table to enjoy views of river Thames. Received warm welcome & good service. Toilets well maintained. Accessible for wheelchair users although not sure if same for toilets. Recommend.

Great atmosphere, girls behind bar were kind and cheerful.

It's great to have a drink by the river on a sunny day, but drinks are a bit pricey. Great place for Inclusivity and makes you feel very welcome.

This is the ideal pub to have a drink by the river.

Pretty dead during the day. Service was alright but the staff seemed a bit stuck up.

Lovely location, food and drink

Great location! Decent beer. Didn't have food, so can't comment on that but really nice little place.

Walked in Woodys lunch with friend .I didn’t order off menu .Checked with girl at bar .Asked what type of chips they serve .She held up her fingers to show me size huh .And said “WE ALSO do SWEET potatoe fry’s “which I ordered with Vegan burger .The burger was a mess fell apart .The fry’s Covered in ton of SALT.I complained of the SALT on my fry’s .Very rude waiter “It says on menu ,salty fry’s “Ivexplained I didn’t see menu ,I ordered from girl at bar .Saying she should of told me they are covered in salt .Had I known I would not of ordered them .We all know salt &pepper mills are on table for those that want can put on their food .”Again rudely said “it’s on menu “? I say ordered from bar ,girl should of informed these chips are salty “told him how I don’t put salt all over my food “He replied “oh dietary requirement,you should of told her “!Huh ?? Then continued to argue with me .”I explained NO where in the thousands of restaurants iv visited has any body covered my food with tons of salt “..”Then told me it’s standard flavouring “!! We all know salt is used in Cooking .But NOT thrown all over your food when served !He continued to talk down to me &walked off in a huff !! Also the staff here are just concerned with having fun ,screeching around .The staff made us in welcome &uncomfortable.Like we were an inconvenience not paying customers.Thanks Woodys staff ,for ruining our lunch paid for from hard earned money

Great independent pub, great vibes, and great music inside. I realised how much I love this place just recently guilty of giving it for granted too easily

Just had drinks here while watching the swans on the Thames. Very relaxing and delicious frozen margaritas! Couldn't wish for more.

We only had drinks, which were lovely. Great venue location, vibey and friendly service.

My favourite haunt in Kingston. I love the diversity and inclusive vibe of this place. The staff are always lovely and the location on the river is perfect, especially in good weather. Also, the vegan food options are amazing 😍🤩

Had early dinner ci sitting of burger and different dishes like tacos and dirty fries. Ordered a bottle of wine, too. The food was fairly good , and my husband loved the burger. The bill was £72 with £8 gratuity. I'm not sure that overall, the meal was good value for money.

Great independent place by the Thames. Super lovely staff, great (vegan) food and a good range of brews on tap. Highly recommended :)

Nice place, with adequate prices, the cleanliness is a little neglected

Very unique, interesting and particular pub, very school/college vibe hangout style. Some of the deco among others, is having a skateboard chair booths. Of course you can enjoy the view of the river in their dedicated terrace. It’s worth mentioning that is Pet friendly. Certainly in the summer it’s a place you cannot miss.

Lovely location and staff were super nice my only gripe was they were expensive compared to other places in the area i.e. £17.20 for 2 pints & a packet of crisps apparently they charged £1 for a splash of lime cordial in one of the pints which I thought was a bit excessive!

Nice place but didn't have any bitter on tap. Plenty of the modern pale ale types of beer, though.

Always great service and nice cocktails

Right on the Thames. Lovely on a sunny 🌞 day.

Great pub. Friendly staff. We didn't eat, but the food looked amazing.

We had my daughter’s 21st birthday party at Woodys. The staff couldn’t have been more chilled and helpful. Everything ran so smoothly and we had a wonderful, memorable evening! Want to say a big thank you to the 3 staff members from Saturday night. Many thanks 🙏

Riverside bar, lots of good options for drinks but the espresso martini is not the best! Nice selection of beers to choose from and the staff are very welcoming 😁

Nice ambient by the riverside and craft beer. Good for having a drink afterhours.

Friendly, funky and in a great location.

Great bar with a cool vibe. Suited to a younger crowd.

Woody's is a nice place for cocktails and mocktails and not expensive at all.The owner has a lovely doggy too.They do comedy nights on some weekdays.

Just had the worst roast dinner ever. The roast potatoes were burnt as was the pork. Couldn’t cut either as both were rock hard. Had to ask twice for some apple sauce plus extra utensils for the celebration cake we had for a friend’s birthday lunch. This cake was brought out after most people had already finished their coffee. The table was booked for 2pm yet didn’t get any food until after 4pm. Did not complain as we were invited by friends and didn’t want to embarrass them. Avoid this place as food and service terrible.

Cool vibe, you're right on the water. I enjoyed the atmosphere overall. My concern was with the service and food. We understand it is Vegan... but we sat and waited 45 minutes for our food. Only a few other patrons were inside. And Vegan food typically is not a long process. We had to ask a couple of times.for the status of our meals. One of the two servers/bartenders seemed to show concern but the other couldn't be bothered. Food finally arrived. Nachos consist of: tortilla chips, canned salsa and frozen guacamole along with a spoonful of sour cream. Everything store brought. If I'm paying a higher £ and the nachos described as the "featured" item - can't you make some house salsa or guacamole?? For the long wait, lackluster service, and the grossly overpriced food - there are better options in the area.

Good atmosphere, nice friendly bar with seating outside overlooking the river.

The location is nice lots of Canada geese swans nice river people boating across it but the food I'm afraid is not burger pretty overcooked chips on the other hand undercooked some were pretty hard given that Thier so many other choices I don't think I'll be coming here in the future

Fantastic place to sit next to the river and watch the boats go by.

Amazing selection of beers, nice staff. I was hesitant about the loaded fries with Jack fruit, all of the food was delicious. We'll be back

There were 6 of us having dinner, in two orders ordered one after the other. the first took 15 minutes, the second 50 minutes.

Cool place. Young vegan vibes. If you’re a fan of Budweiser Budvar (yes, the original one), then a) they have it on tap, and b) they serve it in the iconic glassware. The service a bit slow but friendly and always with the smile.

Haven’t had food here so no comment. But they do Bear Island beer. Excellent beer

The worst meal out that I can remember

Yum! Sat on the patio on a beautiful day. Great service and delicious vegan food! I would highly recommend the fried "chicken". I had a tasty beer with peach flavour! So yummy!

Whilst this does appear to be one of the better places in Kingston, the service was so slow and stand-offish that we didn't actually get to sample any food or drink. Waited patiently to be served but the staff appeared to swerve around us. Shame, may try again next time we're here

Amazing pub, on the river side, good music, good beer :)

Great outdoor riverside location to boat and people watch

Great they have Jubel on tap my only complaint are the toilets are really really grim!

We would like to thank the Ladies at the service, all of them!!! Always with a genuine smile on their faces! Food we went for the nachos and fries and was very tasteful. Nice selection of IPA. Next to the water nice!!! First time we managed to find a seat and for sure it will not be our last time every visit in Kingston area.. Keep it up guys. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Predominantly a student bar vibe, it does attract a wide audience of those looking to take advantage of the riverside suntrap without the stuffiness of the pub gardens further up the river towards Kingston. Inside it's clean and bright, pipe benches and mismatched seating. There's a nice selection of beers on tap - Lost and Grounded "Wanna Go To The Sun" flies out of here, as well as Budvar which I think has a deal on midweek. The Gipsy Hill always tastes a little funky so I tend to swerve it, consistently so, I'm assuming it's the beer. The cocktails are excellent, boozy slushies and spicy margaritas are dangerously drinkable, and leave you a little wobbly without breaking the bank. Food wise they've changed it up, they had the Carribbean Kitchen menu a month or so ago and now it's Vegan Junk food which looked banging when being brought out. Speaking of which, it's mostly table service if you sit outside, which is nice not having to move from the sun drenched perch. The staff are kind and attentive, quick to make recommendations, and manage well with the highs and lows of busy periods. I've not done many "bar" posts on here but after years of just walking past Woody's, I'm happy I've been able to indulge and appreciate it the last 6 months or so. A good spot to head after devouring a Poor Boys round the corner, or to break up the walk.

The location is so perfect along the river. Seats outside get filled very quickly with the nice weather. I've only been for drinks a few times and the service has always been friendly.

I love Kingston and when we are there, we always go to Woodys. Great pub along the Thames.

We’ve had Eloise for a sunset drink and she’s been really attentive, sweet, and has given recommendations along the way I really recommend coming to Woodys

Great mocktails, fantastic bar with outside space, great decor

Lovely vegan food. The Vegan Fried Chicken was amazing!

Interesting wee bar, down on the water. Nice selection of beers and great staff. Excellent music selection too!

We stopped off for some drinks by the riverside. It has a lively atmosphere. Table service with attentive staff. Even though it was busy, we didn't feel rushed.

Awesome atmosphere, lake side view

Was so excited to try this vegan independent pub's food with a friend!!! (I'm vegan) Table service and lovely river view but staff weren't very friendly and the food was overpriced. The fried crispy mushrooms were DELICIOUS but the portion was starter sized for £11 and it didn't come with chips. My friend's nachos were cold, didn't have chilli non carne or beans on them and had cheap salsa and brown guacamole on them. Wouldn't recommend. Nice chips but also expensive for £4. Won't be coming back sadly :(

Put some rubber or felt on the toilet door to stop it slamming every time someone goes in or out! Drove us mad! Love it otherwise:)

Lovely bustling location, awesome outdoor space to enjoy a vegan meal or a few pints right next to the river. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It is also dog friendly 🐶 Also had a great bit of graffiti in the bathroom (see picture) 😃

Terrible service - the staff were busy talking to their friends. Terrible drinks - wrong drink made and not in correct glass. I ordered gin and lemonade and she made it with soda water. She did change it free of charge which was something. Terrible toilet hygiene - speaks for itself No last orders bell just a blunt we’re not serving drinks. We will not be coming back.

Amazing atmosphere and great staff! Everytime I come here I love it! Great vibes and great people hell yeah man!

Sun, good beers and attacking doors

Can't go wrong with a hot dog from Woody's. Would also definitely recommend getting the loaded chips. The staff are incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is really good.

Vegan nice food options and nice price for drinks or mocktails

Nice selection and nice staff. Toilets could do with a spruce up

Awful place ! The bar was cold & food was horrible & very expensive definitely would not return

Ordered 2 decaffeinated coffees..cost £6! For granules! Awful taste. I would give NO stars if I could. Definitely won't be going back.

Low stars because small portion and over spiced It was ok. I was really looking forward to going here. The naked chicken box was almost a child's portion and the chicken was way to spicy. Garlic prawns were adorable though and rice and peas to die for.

Great coffee and milkshakes! Nice place near the Thames with very kind staff!

Amazing pub along river Thames…sip your beer with a view

Good, welcoming and well priced

Nice tea & coffee, good tacos🌮 & crisps, beautifully presented delicious food

Nice place, great location for a lazy weekend if the sun is shining. Right by the river

Really nice place. Good drink selection.

Genial, ubicado en un sitio estratégico a la orilla del río, la atención muy buena

Been here a few times for drinks. Visited last Friday and had a good time. They have a good selection of drinks, beers specially. The service was top notch and very attentive. We tried a couple of starters as well and they were really good.

Honestly, had to leave a review because the hotdog was so bad. Considering it was the main feature of the menu you would think they would be decent. Completely stale roll, ‘brisket sausage’ sounded promising. I’m baffled as to how a sausage made from brisket could be so dry. Next to no sauce. Had to ask for ketchup to make it edible. Drinks were good and staff were friendly but yeah, food completely let it down

Staff friendly , place lovely, my BF loved the milkshake and when he came all over Coventry again, we went to Woody for a milkshake and a breakfast for me. We got nothing. Chef was sick, and they had some issues with the shakers. Too bad....Next day, the same. 🙄

Staff friendly and have a smile but we had fries and sauce was bad .we ordered mayo and ketchup but I didn't like them they smelled egg.Beers were great and location is very quiet and nice .

Perfectly positions and great food. Service could have been better. Got orders wrong and took a bit of time to get simple things however wouldn't put me off going back. Still a good restaurant.

Best smutty fries ever! Fries, nachos and beer with my daughter during shopping expedition. Far from a boring menu and good choice of beers. Lovely little find.

As far as sitting by the river and drinking it’s fine but I would never ever come back here again. The food was disgusting. Under cooked slimey, soggy hotdog and chips so hard they were crunchy. Waiter was also extremely rude and petty that 2 of our friends that joined us (and ordered food there) told them to go stand outside the ropes to finish the drinks they brought in from the next pub! Unbelievable. Lost for words. Shame I can’t give a zero rating

Basic, no frills, tables and chairs in a room type place. Pretty chilled. Riverside frontage if you can get a table. Young vibe. Quite a few students. More a vibe for drinks than eats.

Very nice river view and friendly service

Distinct lack of wood which for names sake was a bit of a let down. They did allow me to run to B&Q and bring back some ply wood which was a nice gesture on their part.
