We thoroughly enjoyed our carvery, we came out from Cockfosters, and will certainly return on another Sunday in the very near

VERY small potion of meat compared to when we came last time, and I upgraded to the large plate! ...it appears the cool has changed again....the potatoes tasted like they were not seasoned and were dry ( plenty of salt , pepper and oil / crispy , would have made them so much better ...but they were soft , mushy...Staff friendly as always, no issues there, just the food...shame, as its a nice place

I am delighted to extend the most heartfelt thank you to the Woodman Inn for the impeccable experience we had with their private room hire during my partner's 30th birthday celebration on 01/03/2024! Despite having a tight budget, opting for their private space proved to be the best decision and we had a wonderful time.I would like to express my gratitude to Jana and the entire team for their exceptional assistance and professionalism throughout the planning process. Their guidance in selecting suitable catering for approximately 35 attendees, which also happened to fall within our budgetary constraints, was particularly appreciated, as was Jana's patience with all my questions!While the option to utilise the venue's speakers was generously offered, our decision to bring our own was seamlessly accommodated. Additionally, the flexibility in allowing an early setup for decorations was a testament to the team's commitment to ensuring a tailored and memorable event. When I got there to set up, I was blown away by the thoughtful organisation of the space, with a designated annex for the dancefloor and cake presentation, as well as a separate area for guests to sit down and eat, which was definitely appreciated by my grandparents who weren't a fan of the playlist!The food was all served on lovely warm hotplates (those typically used for their delicious Sunday roasts). It was the perfect accompaniment to a night of heavy drinking for many of us that we could return to throughout the night! I also couldn't believe that none of us ever had to wait for a drink, the team were always attentive, despite them having a busy Friday night on their other side of the pub!I truly want to extend my sincere thanks to Jana, Jack, and the rest of the team whose individual efforts culminated in a seamless and enjoyable celebration. I also want to apologise if anyone else told me their names - the wine isn't quite letting me remember! The team's willingness to assist with post-event cleanup and the gracious handling of minor requests, such as the disposal of confetti, underscored their commitment to guest satisfaction.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the Woodman Inn for events of varying sizes. Despite our party numbering about 35-40 attendees, there was ample room for more without being cramped, though we also never felt the room was too big for us either! My deepest appreciation to the Woodman Inn team for contributing to the success of Patrick's birthday celebration, and we eagerly anticipate returning for future lunches!Kindest regards and see you soonSaskia x

Staff are attentive and helpful and the atmosphere was good as it was full (or nearly full). The food was ok, meat was cooked well but the accompaniments were let down a bit but that might be because it was a carvery. Its well priced and the beer is positively cheap (less than a £5 for a pint).

Kid-friendliness: Very nice to toddler,children's menueWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access in main carvery area.not so easy in main pub area ,because it's smaller.we went at lunchtime,so it was quite.

Lovely, welcoming staff and delicious, home-cooked food. Try the specials board! This is not food that has been bought in and reheated. This is proper food. Really friendly pub!

I first went to the woodman bar, carvers and restaurant in August/September 2023 and then again in December 2023 and January 2024. During summer I went there for lunch with friends and then December I went there for news eve party. The pub is soo beautiful with lovely bar tenders, they are soo lovely and eager to help always. The atmosphere is soo conducive I really enjoyed the food too. I will recommend it to anyone who visit London. It is a country pub but soo lovely if you need a quite place though lovely to chill.

A cosy quaint pub on a Saturday afternoon.The 2 ladies working the restaurant were absolutely wonderfully attentive, but equally gave us the time to decide what we wanted to order and checked back with us several times to ensure we were OK. 5star customer service.
