Carvery At The Woodman Inn

We stayed here in our MH for the night on the way to France what a place great car park plenty of space food fantastic & the staff so friendly & welcoming will definitely be back when in the area.
A big thank you to you all.

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!

Woodman carvory is a lovely place to eat, drink and chill. Recommend the goulash. It was delicious. The pub is very cute and the garden is really lovely. Super tranquil and pretty with comfortable chairs to sit. Staff are friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Jana. I will be back again and again...

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 soon

Thank you so much Jana for organising such beautiful party for our daughter !!!!! She absolutely loved it, the venue was fab, the garden was so cute and we all loved the food too but mainly your warm king professional hospitality. We would definitely book again. We are also coming back as a family to have a meal at the pub soon. Thanks so much for helping us to make our daughters party very special. Everyone was extremely happy and had a good time.

We had a great time.. Lovely evening. So good to see staff that greet you by name. Yana is an absolute treasure. Xxx

Top quality carvery and restaurant/pub, not too crowded, just right. Food and service are excellent, very impressed. Nice unspoilt traditional country pub not far from Potters Bar and Barnet. The Abbott ale was fresh and smooth. Food is reasonably priced for what you get. Staff very friendly and professional. They cater for vegetarians and vegans too. Highly recommend this place. Miles better than the big chain places.

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

Sunday Carvery was fabulous. They have spaced out the tables and have screens up, felt very safe. Excellent quality food. Great beer, friendly helpful service, and good prices. Would thoroughly recommend this place.

If you pop there for a beer, they have table service currently, and they have a covered patio outside in the back garden - which is best to book.

See you soon, I'll be back

Best goulash I had in UK. Cheap beer and good selection of it. I'm looking forward to stop there next time I'll be cycling. Outdoor seating in front and plenty of space in garden. Gorgeous.

Fabulous pub, really great lunch menu and excellent ploughman's.
Staff are bubbly and friendly. The regular customers are also super friendly and chat to everyone, great atmosphere.
The hanging baskets are wonderful and make it look so inviting.
Their award is well deserved.

Great pub full of locals always willing to have a chat. Food has gone up a few notches and is excellent quality. Staff are second to none, always welcoming and willing to please. Highly recommended and well worth a visit.

A local Institution; the Sunday Carvery is amazing.
Lovely for Country walks.

We stayed over at The Woodman in the car park in our Motorhome. A very well looked after hostelry, it felt cared for. The gardens were beautiful, with lovely hanging baskets, all areas were clean and tidy. The toilets looked recently refurbished and were so clean. Very impressed. We had Caesar salad for dinner- it was excellent. Good choice of Ales, The staff were friendly and the service was great. I would not hesitate to recommend The Woodman.

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.

Food was pretty good, had the gammon and turkey carvery. Downside first, stuffing tasted great but was very little, only a small ball of it and the yorkies were more like the small frozen ones you get from supermarkets. Everything else was very tasty and nice, had the gammon and turkey, felt like I got quite a bit of meat unlike some other places. The roast potatoes and other veg were very tasty.

Could improve the yorkies and stuffing and be amazing, but it's still a great place with very nice food.

Lots of staff available. We must have gone at a quiet time as lovely and relaxed. Food was yummy, and the pub was traditional. Thank you for a lovely Sunday dinner x

Very good food, nice portion size and very fair price.

Great roast dinner, well worth visiting, staff are friendly and great prices..

This is a proper pub run magnificently by Jana and her team with an amazingly friendly atmosphere. The beer is always the best quality as is the food in the bar or the restaurant. Their home made goulash is so good and the Sunday Carvery always has fresh good quality meats. Cannot recommend it highly enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
