What User doesn't like about The Woodpecker:
Stopped by on way out to dinner. The pub didn’t serve food so stayed for a couple of drinks. This is a locals pub set one street back from the main road. Friendly barman, pool table was busy at the back View all feedback. What User likes about The Woodpecker:
Could not fault the food and service. Very welcoming, the chicken strips were cooked in the lightest of batters. You can tell that it is home made abs not from a package! View all feedback.

The Woodpecker is a bustling bar located just off the main road, popular with locals and offering a variety of food and drink options. While some guests were disappointed by the lack of vegetarian or pescatarian options, others raved about the tasty food, friendly service, and affordable prices. A mix of pub and restaurant, the Woodpecker seems to cater to a variety of tastes and occasions, with Sunday carvery lunches being particularly popular. Overall, the restaurant offers a comfortable setting, great food, and attentive service, making it a place worth checking out for both locals and visitors alike.

The food choices are varied and very good. The service was prompt and friendly. Hours are limited though so be sure to go on a day when they are open.

This pub is one of the best in town with live music, a state-of-the-art pool, and darts room.

The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff is very friendly. It's a delightful pub to check out.
