How on earth does this pub not have more reviews? Another of Lancashire's incredible pubs -…read moreservice not overdone and food executed perfectly. Just what one expects from a classic English pub. And I think I might have possibly had the most amazing cut of venison I've ever had here and the wine selection made the meal perfection. Our group ordered several main dishes - cod, steak & ale pie, and lamb shoulder. We also ordered way too many starters good grief, but I think the terrine was an absolute dream so it was worth it. Basically you can't go wrong here. Ask for the waiter's suggestion if you're unsure what to order. I'd also suggest coming with a big party since there's a lot of room.

Dogs are made welcome and cyclists and walkers who have taken advantage of the local countryside have welcomed the warm wood burning fires in the winter months. I like that you can personalise your meal by choosing a main course and then adding vegetables as desired. The desserts are also home made - cheescakes are a speciality. The pies are made with a family heritage pastry from the owner's grandmother. The chef offers specialities on a weekly basis. We visited on Christmas Eve 2021 and Valentines Day 2022 and enjoyed the set menus. Well worth a visit.

It's is a lovely little pub in a little rural village near Preston. The waitress was very welcoming and even gladly welcomed our (slightly wet) springer spaniel!

We decided to try this place for lunch yesterday. We had been in for a beer over the last month but…read morenever tried the food. The Woodman although not reviewed on yelp has many reviews on other sites. Nearly all the reviews are bad and that's why we didn't eat here till yesterday. However we heard there was a new team in charge and decided to include them in our fact finding for the area after moving to Clayton Le Woods end of 2014. On arrival at the bar we were greeted by a nice young fella who offered to let me try both the real ale's they had on. I decided on a pint of Wainwright's which was very nice indeed. We said we would like to order some lunch so we were asked to choose a table and somebody would come to take the order. I like that I don't like all this order at the bar with a table number. So we had baguettes and chips, me tuna melt and Sharon chicken and bacon. Both served with a bowl of homemade chunky chips. We both enjoyed the food very much. Nice presentation, good quality and homemade. One check in by staff as we ate which is the right thing. We couldn't fault it. Nice beer, good grub, nice table by the real fire and 19 quid for lunch including a pint and a Bacardi and coke. I hope that the new team at the woodman keep it up all power to them.

Turned up to be told there…read morewas 'no lights' then got to my room to discover there was actual no electricity at all (funnily enough though they were still able to use card machines and take contactless payments). Waited as we were told the electricity would be back on at half past 7 latest (bearing in mind this was about half past 4 we got there. Had to speak to manager and explained that it wasn't really okay and surely the least that she should be doing is offer us a complimentary drink while we couldn't use our rooms to which she eventually agreed after a debate. Went through to bar sat in total darkness had to request a candle (no one offered one) waited and checked with manager a few times to be still told repeatedly that it would be back on by half past 7 latest so ordered another drink and sat in bar as it was pointless going to room but as time went on started to feel like nothing was happening and they were still cooking with no extractor fan so the whole place was smokey so went to room and went for a little walk then came back and went to request a refund as the situation was not acceptable. Explained how I had already paid for an uber there and was going to have to then pay for a taxi back as didn't have any power in my phone so had to request a taxi be phoned which was another huge debate ( at this time the chef had to come out to tell the manager he couldnt keep cooking bevause it was breaching health and saftey regulations). During this process the manager started to cry in front of all the other customers which then caused a debate between myself and another couple who had just turned up. This then escalated to a point that I had a pint thrown in my face. I find it highly unprofessional how the situation was dealt with and the fact that the manager created more of an escalation by involving other customers who had just arrived. Tried ringing multiple times to no avail even though the power is back on. After I eventually managed to get a taxi out of the hellhole and I then was so flustered and worked up that I left my wallet in the taxi and I can't get in touch with the cab company because I don't even know which company the staff rang. This is beyond a joke I have emailed and called with absolutely no response the place is an absolute joke

It's a must for me on Sundays in summer. Easily found just off the A6, this complex of thatched hamlets making up the pub, restaurant and hotel rooms is remarkably peaceful and a real retreat to bygone times. I often find myself sampling the wine list during the afternoon, succumbing to the menu at dinnertime, slipping into a comfy chair in the bar and then booking a room for the night! Residents can also make the most of the 'nightclub' a bit of a locals night, but great fun in a rural way. The restaurant and pub menu is part of the 'Taste Lancashire' acceditation scheme, which guarentees local produce wherever possible, as well as high standards of service and hygiene. TIP - Make sure you book a room with a whirlpool bath - just don't have a blonde moment like me and go overboard on the complimentary bubble bath - not fun to clean up! Another tip is to check out when they hold their annual oyster festival - usually in early September.

This was one of the only times in the UK I had to take a to-go box home (hooray leftovers!). There are games you can play and plenty of seating. Also this establishment is dog-friendly!
