About Woody's Bar and Restaurant
Woody's Bar and Restaurant is a Romanian restaurant in Northampton, on the Tesco Car Park, that runs as a gastropub through the week and turns into a nightclub at weekends. The menu pairs Romanian cooking, including lamb shank and papanași for dessert, with gastropub dishes. A breakfast menu comes with coffee included, and its vegetarian plate has veggie sausages, hash browns, baked beans, eggs, mushrooms, tomato and toast. On weekends DJs take over the room, and shisha is served on the terrace for guests who want to stay on after eating. The decor follows a traditional sports bar style, and the venue hosts events and birthdays. Tables are walk-in. The door on the car park side may be locked, so guests should use the other door.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the lamb, with one calling it tender and perfectly seasoned and another pairing a lamb shank with a burger, both described as delicious. Close behind are a steak cooked medium well as requested, juicy and flavorful, and papanași that one reviewer calls the best they have eaten. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as warm and inviting, and several mention friendly staff and an attentive, friendly owner. One reviewer held an event and praised the hospitality, and a group of eight left happy with the food. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who found the staff rude, said the manager always seemed busy while sitting outside smoking, felt the food was expensive for what it is, and noted the main area never held many people. Another reviewer found the door on the car park side locked and had to use the other entrance. Breakfast earns its own praise, including a huge vegetarian plate with veggie sausages, hash browns, beans and eggs, and coffee included with anything on the breakfast menu.

“I dined here today and it was one of those meals that stays with you long after you leave. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, with a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and clearly passionate about what they do.”

“An amazing experience at Woody’s! The steak was cooked absolutely perfectly, exactly as I requested — medium well, juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is phenomenal, warm, relaxing, and perfect for a great dining experience. And the dessert? Without a doubt, the best papanași I have ever eaten — absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this place if you want amazing food and a fantastic ambiance. Definitely coming back!”

“Staff are rude. Manager always seems to be “busy” when he’s just sat outside smoking. Food is really expensive for what it is. This pub never has more than 5 people in the main area, even at peak times. Absolutely wouldn’t recommend.”

“I had an event at this restaurant and I can say that I had a professional hospitality. I highly recommend this restaurant, whether you want it for an event, birthday, or just to have a meal with someone, it is extraordinary. Both the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere, a 20. We thank the staff and the owner, Mr. Liviu for everything we experienced on a magical Saturday evening.🙏🤗🤗🥰🥰😘😘”
