Summer evenings in the beer garden are just lovely. The sun shines as you tuck into a delicious roast, some crunchy fish & chips or a great burger. The range of ales, lagers and gins is excellent. The service is pretty ordinary and couldn’t be called quick or efficient. But on a summer’s afternoon it’s hard to beat.
Large pub with outdoor, covered outdoor and indoor seating. We stopped by for lunch. Service was good, we were seated quickly and the server was attentive and friendly. For a Saturday lunchtime they seemed quiet to me. Their was a seafood menu as well as a regular menu. The food was good and prices not bad for London.
Wow! Halloween party!
the rooms look awesome.
The bar staff all dressed up and had excellent service CHUCKY recommended us some zombie cocktails! That went down a treat🤩 thanks the woodman will be back again!!!
Had an amazing experience at the woodman. The Shepherds Pie with mature cheddar on top was simply divine. Friendly staff and quick turn around for food. Would defiantly visit here again with the misses.
One of the best pub experiences I've had in a while. Fantastic food (with great vegan/vegetarian options).
The dream London pub - My friend and I went here to catch up over a summer drink and a bit of dinner and we were both so impressed!
The Woodman has loads of indoor and outdoor seating including a summer marquee and a covered terrace area in their pub garden so it's ideal for summer evenings.
Everything from the wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to the incredibly friendly, attentive and polite service and the very tasty food (we had the blackened salmon and grilled prawns as well as some super delicious warm flat bread and olives to start) made it a 5* experience.
It's also really good for groups and the table next to us brought their bikes (bicycles) and were easily able to park them along the side fence/by the tables.
Highly recommended 10/10 we'll definitely be coming back very soon!
Went here for lunch/dinner last evening. The food was gorgeous, which I've come to never expect from pubs, so that was a nice surprise! The plaice kiev was nice and moist, definitely a one to try, and the miso glazed salmon was surprisingly filling, not a rip off at all (unlike most places) and also not overdone, chips were very nice too.
One of my cocktails wasn't mixed properly, which was disappointing, but it didn't dampen the experience at all. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, didn't come too soon or too late either about the food order, which people usually don't get right, so I found that impressive too.
The rooms are nicely lit and there's a pleasant ambience to the place. I'm not a fan of old men pubs and I definitely wouldn't refer to this as one: all ages were present which was a nice change. Not too busy or packed, plenty of seating and lovely decoration.
Will definitely be back for more food.
We went to the Woodman for dinner and drinks and had a great time. The food was really good, staff were friendly and the service was quick. I’d definitely come here again. Their covered garden is really nice. Due to the hospitality crisis in the uk, we’ve had our fair share of rubbish dining experiences recently, so it was refreshing to have a good one!
Had the nicest Shepherd’s Pie here - it was super-moreish! The oysters were incredible - made me like oysters for the first time. The service is great - really lovely and friendly staff. Drinks selection is great. Will go back.
Came into the woodman two weeks ago with a friend for a few beers and lunch, we were served by a waitress called Hope who was very welcoming and helpful. She recommended the chicken club sandwich which we both thoroughly enjoyed. Would go again!
My wife and I went twice to this pub. It’s a veggie burger wasn’t very special, but beer and shandy were indeed, excellent!
Just writing a review about the ambiance and service as I didn't order any food (menu looked enticing though but I have leftovers to work through!) Got myself a tasty berry cider on draft on the sweet side and bartender had described it as such when I was picking between two choices. Great music playing in the background, good lighting and superb decor (see posted picture). Definitely not a smelly old, cramped pub and definitely not some painfully hip cocktail bar either so it really hits the spot! I would also highly recommend visiting Kenwood House before this and then strolling through Hampstead Heath for a well deserved beverage after ;)
Upmarket retelling of a good pub. Friendly young staff and crowd. A but directional about where to sit rather than just walk in, but guess it is necessary with such a heavy focus on food. It does what it does really well.
A nice big pub. LOVELY garden. Really nice staff. Great for a sunday after a nice walk.
