    Booked on the day and had a good table but unfortunately it was right under the speaker with loud Christmas music playing . Menu limited and no desserts on the menu , been a good few months since our last visit but other customers told us the place had been taken over again by new owners . Usually walk over in the summer to have a drink outside . Food very good , steak a bit pricey so didn’t feel that was good value , however fish and chips were excellent . Great to get home made chips . Not enough staff for place being so busy but the coped really well and were very friendly and worked hard to keep up with the customers at the bar . Dog friendly pub , only one in our area so another plus . Would recommend a visit .

    A group of 5 of us went for a meal. The service was great, staff very friendly and the food excellent. Good simple food (we all had pie), served hot and we all got our meals together. Good value too.

    Came for Sunday lunch to the Woodside. The food was very good, quite large portion and you could tell the food was made from scratch. The only thing I would say was the sprouts were still quite raw but other than that the food and drinks were good, however quite pricey. Service was good and all servers were very friendly and helpful with any queries.

    The staff were fantastic and let us move tables. Food was very good, even the child portion was substantial. Wonʼt hesitate to go again.

    Sunday lunch was nicely cooked but was only lukewarm. Not good value for the money. Waiting approx 45 mins for desserts and had to chase up twice. Eventually they arrived. Not sure why it took so long as only cakes and ice cream. Lemon drizzle cake was dry. Was not worth the money they charged.
