THE WOODSMAN IS A TRULY BRITISH RESTAURANT
We use the best British ingredients, all sourced as sustainably as possible.

We love using Wild food, and harvest much of it ourselves. All the meat on our menus is “nose to tail” so the menu is ever changing, and we waste nothing. We even employ our own head ranger to keep the deer herds on the land we manage under control, and have our own deer larder in the Cotswolds where this amazing product is processed.

Our fish comes from day boats in Cornwall.

We work with the seasons, ensuring the very best truly local veg is with us the day after its picked. Our food is cooked over wood from local plantations, and charcoal coppiced less than 20 miles away.

We know the story of everything on the menu.

Our lovely staff are extremely well informed, so, do ask questions on anything you’re not sure of.

We hope you love this restaurant as much as we do and keep coming back.

    Really enjoyed the food, general feel and the staff attitude. This was for Sunday lunch and they were very busy, hence the noise level being high. Would recommend it as a great place to meet friends and enjoy a relaxed meal.

    The whole experience was ruined by a table of rowdy people obviously under the influence of something screaming and shouting. The waiting staff were also disturbed by their behaviour but the management refused to take any action. Food was very good but if you had a dairy allergy it was difficult to find anything that didn’t have cheese in the description so ordered the special for the day which had know dairy in the description only to find that the cabbage had been dressed with cheese. Not sure this complies with Natasha’s Law ??? Over all a very dissatisfying experience. Not sure we will return.

    The food was excellent. At a very busy time the service was brilliant and our waitress Illona a real professional. A great evening.
