Woodys Bar And Lakeview Restaurant

The service we received at this restaurant after booking our Christmas party was absolutely terrible. The beer tasted as if the pipes hadn't been cleaned in months and the service staff were very rude. We will never go back there again as it was a complete waste of time.

Visited Woodys on many occasions over the past 8 years but the last 6 months or so the food quality quantity has gone down hill with prices going up staff turnover is high. Staff at times are obviously very busy yet witnessed a new manager walking around doing very little and talking down to staff the lady with short blonde hair (think her name is Angela) and her colleague John are friendly and work hard, often battling queues at the bars with both wedding guests as well as walkers yet with a smile on their face some cheery banter when they can take a breath they do try to make a visitor’s experience positive so its disappointing as a customer to hear management make disparaging comments to staff. Woodys surrounding area is a lovely location with fishing lakes, nice walks, inside lounges with cosy seats and a winter log fire plus an inside dog friendly area so it’s great when we take friends there who have dogs. We do hope the food gets better and management show more appreciation for their hardworking staff as they’re the ones keeping it ticking over maybe we’ll think about eating there again. .

The food at this restaurant is excellent and the staff is very polite. I would suggest mentioning that the apple tarte tatin contains raisins, as I cannot eat them. The atmosphere is also very pleasant. Thank you, Broomfield family.

Slow, unprepared and borderline rude. Arrived 2pm, told thy had a hold on ordering food. Had to wait 1.5 hours to order food. Only managed 2 rounds of drinks as at times only one staff member on the bar and large queue. Ordered whitebait special £6.95 literally got 6 small whitebait and a garnish. Shocking value for money. Waitress staff were nice hence the 2 stars not 1. No apologies from the bar staff who were mega stressed. Avoid busy times as they simply can’t cope despite not being what I would class as busy!

Don’t order extra tomby !!!!!!! £1.75 for a small boat Very Clit. Nice however friendly bar.
