Nice food nice staff. Good selection of drinks. Outstanding value. Must try.
Just be aware of the £1 kids meal offer, you need to register on their website in advance and download the code before you can get the offer, been told it would take 24 hours to activate.
Tuesday lunchtime: nice atmosphere with an open fire in the middle of the room. Ordered the chicken, bacon and avocado salad. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was very good.
We had an awkward number for a booking (12) and we were unable to book online and tried to call a few times but unable to get through. I tried a ‘work around’ by booking separate tables on line and requesting via notes that we sit together. This was frustrating, but a call from the manager Chris, who explained why we couldn’t book online, resolved our issue completely. He ensured that we would be able to sit together and also that the staff on the night understood our requirements and would look after us. Excellent service from everyone involved. I didn’t eat as I am a support worker supporting the group to attend but they were all pleased with the food and the value.
Lovely place to catch-up with friends & family. Good atmosphere. Is busy most evenings so if you want a seat down meal it's advisable to book in advance. Various deals on different days, these are very good.
Service is friendly and efficient.
Food is OK for a pub. Ans a good choice available.
Popped in for a quick drink, nice service from the young lady behind the bar, ordered nachos and breaded mushrooms, Guinness and wine, very nice, went down well, clean tables too
The main was pretty standard is the same as all chain pubs. But it's worth the price. Pudding was exceptional but very expensive. Service was excellent, very helpful, and very attentive. I will be returning
Very nice pub / restaurant. Fairly varied choice of food to cater for.most people. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, only thingnis that you order at the table like a lot of establishments now so you lose the personal touch, but overall enjoyable experience. Very reasonable prices as well.
Great pup with Great entertainment tribute singers, the last one being UB40.
Can be very busy that being said never at the bar for too long the delivery of food is not to long a wait. The staff are very friendly & do work hard as mentioned in the above waiting times... Food is recommended just a little more in the portion side would be good but on the whole with current climate still worth ordering.

This meal was lovely & speedily delivered to us. Pleasant staff. Been going to this Ember Inns for many years and usually very happy with the visit as we were again.
Fantastic food and service as per normal. My mum in law is in a wheel-chair and the staff always go out of their way to look after us. We love the Woodmans!
Fantastic services by general manager Chris (I think is his name)
Booking wasn’t in the system and with a busy pub he went above and beyond to accommodate our party. Food was slow to arrive but everyone loved it and had a great time.
Organised a lunch outing for a local dementia support group - on site staff, in particular Rachel Muckley, went above and beyond to support us during the visit.
You need to improve your email server - pub not receiving information being sent which leads to bad communication
Friendly clean pub, I didn't eat but the menu looked good. Doom Bar at £3.90 for a pint. What's not to like?
Lovely place for a meal, friendly staff and nice food.
