    Went for a particular meal only to be told it was no longer served due to increased purchase cost - surely if the cost is 'passed on' it would be my choice. Big issue was no drinks menu - advised that wine was available but once we chose type we were not advised of cost in advance of purchase.

    Absolutely amazing. Welcoming and friendly from the beginning to the end. A lovely treat for my daughter wishing her a happy birthday was a lovely touch.

    We both ordered the dry aged sirloin of beef at a premium price. The beef was tough and very fatty. To be honest it spoiled the otherwise very nice meal.

    Excellent, a bit spoilt by the kids chicken meal. Chicken very dry and not eatable.

    Beautiful food, fast service, fantastic decor. We had a lovely waitress who’s a credit to the place but didn’t catch her name! Will definitely be back!

    It was our first visit, food was served too quickly it seemed just a few minutes after we had ordered it appeared on our table. The lamb was lovely but the roast potatoes were hard, we felt rushed and not a very relaxing atmosphere.

    We were given a table that you wouldn't fit a child on nevermind two lunches they would not move us although I can understand as they said they were busy We did not stay just left went elsewhere
    The Woodmans ArmsResponded on 21 March 2025
    Hi Iain, Thank you for choosing to book with us. It is a shame you didn't feel like you could dine on the table you were allocated. This is a regular table that diners use each day, but I do believe another table was offered once one was made available. We wish you could have waited a little longer so we were able to serve you there food, so this review could be based on your full experience, rather than a decision on your part. We hope yo managed to find somewhere else with food just as nice!
