What roytomlin likes about The Woodpecker:
Friday lunch in very pleasant surroundings. Excellent furnishings but somewhat lacking in atmosphere, mainly due to the few diners. I suspect that bit is completely different at weekends , especially for the Sunday carvery which is always well supported. The choice of main courses is varied but basic and home cooked. View all feedback. What kenc470 doesn't like about The Woodpecker:
We had a few pints in this pub on election night. Good selection of ales and lagers on tap, good service in a big well appointed pub. But there was nobody in the place. The one other patron and the bartender where watching Emerdale on the telly and the switched over to some other soap afterwards. Nice place but needs to do some work to increase the atmosphere.

The Woodpecker is a warm and inviting pub with a great selection of ales and lagers. While the atmosphere could use a boost, the carvery lunch was a hit with delicious meat, veggies, and gravies. The service is top-notch, making it a great spot for family celebrations or large parties. The Sunday carvery is impressive, with generous portions and a friendly, clean environment. With excellent value, tasty food, and accommodating staff, it’s a must-visit for a relaxed meal or watch sports. Just be sure to book in advance, as they tend to fill up quickly.
