We’ve always been a fan of the Woodstock since we first went when we lived in Didsbury, ten years ago!
Today we visited for the first time with our new baby daughter to celebrate our third wedding anniversary with a roast! The Woodstock we believe, do the best roasts in the area. This one didn’t disappoint, and the chicken was as succulent as ever. We also enjoyed the puddings afterwards.
It was a really jovial atmosphere and it was also relaxing and nice to have a meal prepared for us with such care. The service staff were also excellent and happy to help. Overall, I rate this meal 10/10.
Thanks again for making our third anniversary special and relaxed. As new parents, we really appreciate being looked after, cooked for and cared for!
Visited this lovely and lively pub for our office Christmas party and it was absolutely amazing. They have their own parking space. The place is very well made. The staff were very friendly. They suggested the best wines and to top it up the food was lip smacking. I ordered the Prawn Linguine in Shell fish sauce and it completely blew my mind. Will definitely visit again. The best part was we found a small little fox in the premises when we were heading towards the parking area, maybe even the fox came to enjoy some drinks 😁
Excellent traditional breakfast, great value for money. Lots of choice for vegetarians too. Service friendly and prompt. Cant fault it

My now wife and I recently had our wedding reception (4.05.24) at the Woodstock in Didsbury and let me tell you it was amazing!!
The staff were so helpful in the planning of it, always there to chat about what we wanted to do and very accommodating with the set-up. This really made things less stressful for my wife and I, as we only had a short space of time to organise it. 6 weeks in fact, but the team took this in their stride and walked us through the menus, drinks package all very reasonable in price. I can’t thank them enough in doing this, as it helped so much knowing they had it under control. The chef even came out to speak to us which was great, again putting our minds at ease.
All this really makes a big difference and shows they actually cared about our day, we felt so comfortable that everything was in hand. Even the few tweaks and changes, not a problem. What we wanted, the Woodstock delivered and then some.
On the day the staff were so welcoming and lovely to our guests, everyone really felt really at home. The food we got was outstanding, compliments to the chef and the team there as they worked really really hard getting everything out to the party.
Everyone enjoyed it from start to finish and I want to say a big thank you to the team at the Woodstock, they were totally first class, they really were.
Thank you so much Woodstock team, you made our day so special, which will stay with us the rest of our lives.

Great value lunch time deal. Nice relaxed vibe. Friendly staff. The food tasted great. The Guinness was a 6.5/10. Highly recommend this place
We had the BEST time!! All of our family and friends are still talking about how great it was and what a lovely venue it was. We booked in for our gender reveal announcement, a get together of 30+ bringing everyone together. Our friends and family enjoyed great night .The staff made everything so special for us. They couldn’t have done more! The food was absolutely delicious we never had better pizza!Very easy to book and communicate. We want to thank you all for the best night! We will remember it forever.Thank you so much to everyone who look after as again and the G.M aswell who make this happen for as
It's been over 20 years since I was last in the Woodstock and remarkably it still seems to have the same vibe. Friendly place with great food and a good range of drinks. I just called in for a lunchtime drink and steak sandwich (which was excellent). It brings back happy memories. So glad it hadn't changed
Better managed now, with friendly staff. Quiet during the week, but crowded Friday and Saturdaym when the upstairs, but not its bar , is opened. Usually only one or two cask ales on, yesterday just Black Sheep, a decent session beer in good condition, but over £5 per pint! Lovely beer garden in the summer.

EDIT.
Been invited back after our last meal. They completely turned the table. Really loved it this time. Food was great, all of us massively enjoyed it. The service was spot on. Thank you for having us back and definitely see you again. See new pics (the one after the pumpkin) to understand.
My starter was the Korean chicken and it was really tasty and juicy. The marinade gives it a kick. Home made nachos were superb. Not too crispy, very good. My main was the pork belly. So tender I wouldn’t need a knife to cut it. Mustard mash and the sauce were great too. We also had the home made bread which came piping hot, amazing. My bf and my friend all enjoyed their food too.
Came for a bday with some friends.
I ordered one starter, Prawns and chorizo. Perhaps I shouldn’t have. 5 frozen overcooked and tough prawns with 5 slices of chorizo (not the one that should be used for cooking) which was quite tough too.
My main course was the roasted pumpkin. I’ve taken a bite of it and left the remaining. Completely unseasoned, not even salted. And, opposed to the starters, undercooked. A real shame. When mains arrived, I still had my starter plate in front of me which hadn’t been cleared in time. Half the table still had starter plates when mains arrived. When the waitress cleared my main course, perhaps she noticed that I had barely touched it but nothing was asked nor checked if something was wrong with it. Therefore I did not give a feedback at the time, because I wasn’t asked for one. Ordered a drink on the QR code (not a cocktail) and it took 25 minutes to arrive. My friends at the table ordered cocktail after me and received it before me.
I really can’t tell if there was a problem with staffing or if this is the usual way you run the restaurant side of your business. If the latter, please look into it and perhaps try to better it.
I can usually empathise when something goes wrong, but the service and food received on my visit was just really bad. On top of it, the food costed me £21, which I would have happily spent If it was good. But by the quality of it, the whole thing is overpriced.
Sam was amazing, she's made us happies.....and not sober very much anymore
Group of 10-15 lads booked tables to watch the 6 Nations rugby and celebrate a 28th birthday. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, food was excellent and the pub had a great atmosphere. Would definitely go back.
Food was nice, service was good. I’m giving 4stars because they had run out of most of the menu so could only order pizza (7:00pm). The portion of chips was ridiculously small!
Been here a few times, most notably on the afternoon I retired on a sunny late summer day. Martin Meerkat says he has cold feet! (OK..it is the lads local in the TV series Cold Feet.) Had a pint of Stiff Upper Lip Pale Ale from By the Horns brewery, Surrey. Lovely 3.8%. Martin had Peroni. Lovely airey bar with great outdoor seating. Outdoor summer bar. Large car park but gets busy. Function room for up to 120. Food sold e.g. £14.50 for Haddock n chips. Do Scoobie snack bar snacks..3 for £15. ( Scotch eggs, chicken bites etc.) Well worth a visit.
Love this place! Good vibes, beaut building and good drinks.
Milo (I think was his name!), gave good wine advice, what a great bartender!
I am a wheelchair user and the friend I had lunch with had 2 small children so booked a table for 5 although only 2 of us would be eating. Staff really went over and above to make having lunch at the Woodstock Arms a great experience. They moved chairs and adjusted the table so I could get my wheelchair in and a push chair and high chair. Roast Beef was lovely as well. A really treat
