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.

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.

Beautiful dinner inside a converted church. Loved the high ceilings and stained glass windows…read more Definitely a cool ambiance! Dinner was tasty as well. We got a Chicken Pate starter that was pretty generously sized. The caramelized red onion added a very nice touch of sweetness and the bread added a nice crunch. I got the Prawn Linguine in chili garlic butter. Simple but tasty. Husband got the duck and it was very good in the sauce. Not a large dinner - left feeling satisfied but not stuffed - and a little pricey compared to other options in the area. Enjoyed!
