The land lady (from previous success as a trouble shooter) has come from good background to make the pub a better place and serve competative food. So what do you need to do? You cannot have your cake and eat it, there are far more foodies in Saxilby, with no place to go than you know, and this is your opportunity. Get rid of the pool table and gambling machines, put the giant TV on for day time viewers (And NOT sport) then you will get the people who will pay for a better local place to eat. So, the next thing is to avoid anything that comes out of your kitchen fans that smells like cheap burnt oil and place a good competative plate of food on the table for local support..Saxilby NEEDS to get rid of drunken teenagers and you are on the right road for success; keep it up.

Staff are friendly and attentive. Food a little pricey, but quite delicious and varied. Lovely fresh vegetables!

The best way to get to the pub, on a summers day/eve is to walk along the canal path of Britain's oldest man made waterway, the Roman built Fossdyke Canal, from Brayford Pool. (about 20 mins) Careful walking back hic :0) It is set on the water in about 4 acres of parkland. If you have a Barge or Longboat, a kyak or coracle then mooring is free to customers. They also have a lodge where you can rent a room with kingsize beds. (Not stayed so can't comment). Food yum..you can eat on the terrace until sunset. The main courses are between £9 and £19. Huge steaks. Pan Seared Sea-Bass Fillet.Oven Roasted Salmon Served on a Bed of Wilted Spinach and Sautéed Potatoes with Lemon and Herb and veggie dishes for moi. Lovely place. Four stars because they looked at me a bit snottily as I had a leather bike jacket on when I went it.

The nicest two for one pub I've eaten in. They tend to be full of pikeys with screaming kids (who…read morethey in turn scream at,) but the Woodcocks is a much more civilised affair. I've been several times at lunch as I work in Burton Waters and have always found the service excellent and it never takes a full hour to get served and get back to the office. I've eaten here in the evening once and it was superb. The food was great and the service was a cut above - I'd normally expect to order at the bar, but it was full table service with a very friendly and helpful waiter. I had Wensleydale chicken which was delicious and my girlfriend had an Angus burger which she reported was fantastic. With a drink and desert each the whole meal came to just over £20 - I'll definitely go back.

Woodcocks, or Woodies as it's known locally, is a great 2 for 1 pub. The food is of a good quality,…read moreparticularly if you order something that needs to be grilled there and then , such as gammon or a steak. There can be a significant wait though, so make sure if you visit on a weekend that you're not starving hungry when you arrive. Woodies have just added a Garden Grill, set in their already excellent and child-friendly gardens. The grill is an entirely separate food ordering point, and offers burgers, steaks and chicken in a variety of breads or with salads, all at reasonable prices, and there is a separate bar out here too. This addition has cost a great deal, but has added to what Woodies can offer throughout the spring and summer months. NOTE this garden grill is NOT part of the 2 for 1 offer though.

(So obviously, they're that easy for everyone to use!). This is my first time here, and first impressions were not great. It took awhile for someone to come over and get us a table. Once seated I started to look around and couldn't help but admire the state of the light fixtures (see picture), tired floors and shabby upholstery. Looking at the prices on the menu it was hard to connect the dots! Service was slow to come over and take our orders, even though we gave her drinks, apps and mains in one go! Staff were extremely pleasant when we had their attention, but I think they were either new at this or just struggled keeping a handle on their tables. The apps and main plates were quite good, the desserts were a little disappointing and sounded better on the menu! Overall, if you have two hours to spare and not in a huge rush for dinner this is your place!
