Had such a lovely Sunday roast today, food was delicious, service was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was lovely. If I had to be nitpicky I’d like a bit more mash on the plate however this is a side option so could also be ordered. Overall thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would return!

Lovely lunch with family. We had Woodmans pizza, Woodmans burger and chicken supreme. All well presented, tasty and reasonable value for money. We had a couple of glasses of the pinot grigio blush which wete lovely and also a couple of diet pepsi. Foe dessert we didn't have food, so we had lattes and a hot chocolate. All lovely and just enough after our main meals. Altogether a lovely meal in a lovely setting.

Loved our valentines dinner at the woodmans. The venue was lavishly decorated with flowers. The staff were immaculately dressed. The service was fantastic and the food was divine. We look forward to revisiting the woodmans in the future.
