  “Someone needs to get that kitchen team sorted out.. Last night's meal was an absolute disgrace.. Chicken wings, dry and rock hard, minimal BBQ coating! And mixed grill, cold, no egg, peas rock hard and dried up, steak tough, gammon rock hard. 2 tiny mushrooms, over cooked... Honestly, how the chef in that place gets away with serving crap is beyond me... It's basics... High end prices, low quality end product.... Will gladly come in and discuss this with the chef and manager face to face... I'd be embarrassed!”

  “We went for a multi generational family birthday meal. We had a three year old with us who can't sit still for very long and we felt relaxed enough for her to be able to get up and down and walk around our table without bothering anyone else. The staff were welcoming and the food was tasty, freshly cooked and hot. It also arrived much quicker than expected another plus with an inpatient 3y year old!! We had a really relaxed and enjoyable evening. Thank you.”

  “Visited whilst visting family in the area. Whilst extremely busy,which was clearly signed, the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Food was good and still hot which was nice. Hotel rooms were comfortable and quiet. Would visit again when in the area.”

  “Lovely setting. Easy booking We were staying in a twin room overnight Place was busy but all staff were great It was clear ‘MATT’ the manager was run off his feet as it was sooo busy.. however he never stopped and provided incredible service as did the others on shift that night. They were very professional despite the demands placed upon them. The tall young man behind the bar was under pressure but remained calm pleasant and helpful… they could have gone with more staff! We were visiting a local event and will be back next year. We recommended the woodcocks to friends at the event and they to will be booking for next year so impressed were they with our praises of the place Very happy 😊”

  “I highlight the scenic canal walk as a stroll. The place has plenty of outside garden with plenty of children playing areas. I highlight booking the table in advance because the space fills up quickly. Their steak is incredible the fries are crispy and burgers are moist. They have best chefs who cook well international dishes. They have modern toilets with disabled facilities. They have wireless Internet.”

  “Easy to book online. Good to park with blue badge. Bar staff friendly and answered all my questions. Drink prices reasonable. Good sunday deal of main and dessert and they were able to do my sunday roast gluten free. I would say the only disappointing part was that they didn't make a gluten free yorkshire pudding or stuffing that you get with a non gluten free sunday roast but otherwise tasty. Dessert came quickly and again was really lovely. Toilets clean and tidy. Nice atmosphere, not too noisy. A little cold with the doors open inside. Altogether very impressive”

  “Great range of food and drinks. Prices good. Very friendly staff, and do their best to make any changes you want for your menu choices. Lovely setting, with dog friendly areas inside and outside. Also let you know how long you can expect to wait for your meals when they are getting busy.”

  “Have been coming to Woodcocks for years but it’s pleasing to say it’s really improved over the years. Owned by Marstons, it also contains a hotel on site too, but as I live nearby I can’t comment on the hotel side. My partner and I arrived on a busy Sunday evening but were accommodated pretty quickly. We decided to order at the table as it was quicker and easier. We wanted a roast beef dinner but as it was so popular our Sunday roast order was limited to a half roast chicken plate. However, everything was really tasty and delicious. My particular favourite was the pigs in blankets. Could’ve done with more vegetables as standard as if you wanted more you had to pay extra for it. Maybe add a substitution option on the website. Plus the Yorkshire puds, whilst being a really tasty addition to the plate, had a peculiar aftertaste to them, like they’d been left to warm too long in the oven. Very minor things that don’t stop us enjoying the meal. The service for the starter and main meal took a little while, but that was because it was very busy. I myself ordered a sticky toffee pudding for after, and it was really nice, not too big a portion and the custard was delicious. Great pub all around and we’ll come back without a doubt.”

  “Food was fresh and flavourful. Service was great, happy relaxed staff with a great sense of humour, which they definitely needed as the placed was fully booked and there was a raucous group near us who were giving the staff a bit of flack, I have to say they handled it brilliantly. Fabulous place to eat.”
