   Would have preferred carvery to be using full joints of meat not pieces of a full joint. No beef or pork available only gammon & turkey so can’t really be classified as a carvery. No sausages available. Good choice of vegetables cooked to perfection and plenty hot enough

   Great experience, food amazing, freshly cooked, not mass produced, tasted like the chefs really care! Very like a home made roast. Good choice of veggies and amazing roast potatoes. Meat very tender and tasty. Dinning room a little cold, but that’s the only slight issue we had Will definitely be back, and will recommend to friends Thank you Woodman

   Horrid calamari, horrid chicken wings, lovely Brie bites, Cold stuffing on the carvery, chips weren’t great, onion rings very greasy. Long wait for food, not a great meal. The website made it look good, shame it wasn’t.

   The pub was quiet in the eating area so we had our choice of seats. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was tasty and there was plenty of it. Overall we had a lovely meal and it was good value.
