    We went there today for lunch just the two of us , first time the wife had been able to walk for a…read morewhile so we gave it a try .... Before I get to the negative bits I have to say the food tasted good and looked good too , it's a nice looking place with plenty of room .... To be fair I expected it to be busier at 2 on a Sunday ? Anyway , before we ordered I asked the young waitress if I could 'swap' the Cheese , Leek & potato pie for the vegetarian tart as I don't like cranberries ..... she said she'd ask. Now then, bear in mind that the whole swap would just involve taking the tart off a plate and replacing it with the pie so I was really optimistic. Anyway she came back and said " The only way we can do that is if you pay for both " so I just clarified that she was asking me to pay for BOTH meals at a price of £31:00 !! She said "yes that's right £31:00 " ‍.......so I checked again with the lady who booked us in earlier and she agreed that I would have to pay for BOTH meals to enable them just to swap a pie for a tart !! You can see from the photo that they could have fitted both on a the same plate. Anyway it all went downhill from there , no horseradish sauce with the wife's beef , a teaspoon of red cabbage , a teaspoon of clotted cream , the mixed berry compote was actually cherry compote, no one came to see if our food was ok , no hand towels or hand dryer in the loo , the people on the next table were told they would have to pay extra for a small jug of gravy as it was " special Sunday gravy " When I left I did tell them what I thought , none of it was personal but the pricing strategy probably explains why there were so many empty tables ? The lady on the till knocked £18 off my bill and apologised but to be honest , we won't be going there again ...... it's not local and situations like this help you choose where or where not to go ..... I have to say again that everything tasted good and looked good but what a shame.

    Great place for reasonably priced and very tasty grub. The staff are very friendly and polite…read more The place is usually heaving and you usually have to get there early to guarantee a seat, especially for 4 or more people. They only take bookings for 6 or more people which is a real pain if you are trying to book in advance. Have turned up there and not been able to get a seat which highlights its popularity. Get there early for a good seat and great food!

    Thank you We appreciate the time it takes to provide…read morefeedback "Woodbridge was recommended to us by our host at our accommodation. We are pleased to say that we were not disappointed. The service was first class, staff very friendly and the food was excellent. We were trying to compare to somewhere local to us and were pleasently surprised that one of our favourite reaturants Worsley Old Hall is part of the same chain. Keep up yhe good work."

    Update: 27/11/14…read more Given that it was a Wednesday and no good weather the place was nearly full. The point of the update is that two colleagues and me went to use the vouchers from previous visits. I held 9 vouchers. 6 vouchers gives £12 of the bill. No problem. I mentioned that the other 3 expired 30/11/14. Not another problem, swapped for 3 that expire November 2015. Plus 2 more for the meals that had been paid for.... So, 5 new vouchers.... That's service..... and guarantees my return. 27/5/14 OK. They get their star back. Wife loved the place. The kids enjoyed their food too. Service was good. Had a slight problem getting to the place by taxi, as the driver didn't have the post code. I tried to ring the restaurant on the number they rang me back on earlier in the day. No answer. Eventually got to the place. BUT - IS THEIR PHONE FOR OUTGOING CALLS ONLY? OTHERWISE, ANSWER THE FLIPPING PHONE. The Bill was as follows: 3 x small Pepsi - £5.40 1 175ml - House White (Sauvignon Blanc) - £4.30 1 pint of Shropshire Gold - £3.70 1 Pate - £5.95 2 Seared wood pigeon starters (my 10 yo enjoyed) - £13.90 1 Crispy squid starter (my 12 yo daughter) - £6.95 Mains 1 Fish cakes - £10.95 1 Burger - £11.95 1 Children's haddock - £7.95 1 Lamb shoulder - £17.25 1 Bottle of (no. 49) Shiraz - £19.95 Total - £108.25 --------------------------------- Visiting again ..... Tried to book online, but time was greyed out. So rang three times but no answer. Time was about 3 pm. E-mailed as well as contacting their head office in Chester, and I presume the call to head office elicited the call at 3:30 pm. I like the opening of the call. You tried to call us during lunchtime.... Did I, at 3 pm! So that's the reason not to take bookings.... I explained the time I wanted was greyed out - they said that's was because it isn't available.... I said I just wanted to check..... I told them the time, and they sad....no problem.....If places playback their conversations, do they still believe it makes sense? Look I'm dropping a star, and quite frankly I wouldn't have tried so hard, but I previously raved about the place, so my wife wanted to go. They'll get the star back if my wife enjoys her meal, and nothing goes wrong. Just answer the bloody phone!!!!!!! ------------------ 7/5/14 Colleagues persuaded me to visit again last night. I had the same starter. The rump steak for the main (£17.95). Lovely and succulent. Nice chips and mushrooms. Pint of Shropshire Gold: £3.70, and large glass of Shiraz: £6.70. The place wasn't busy, as I have heard it can be. I'm letting them keep their 5 stars, but if when I visit again and find them slow to get the drinks to the table, and slow to get to the table for us to pay, when they have already delivered the bill, then I might drop a star. There are enough staff available to cope. The staff are very pleasant when serving, and visiting the table. --------------------- I couldn't fault the place. A colleague introduced me to the delights of the place. Superb selection of starters. Fantastic lamb shoulder, falling off the bone. Starter: Seared wood pigeon, black pudding and roast mushroom with a game reduction £6.95 Main: Lamb shoulder - £17.25 Also had a pint of Shropshire Gold - £3.70, and 175 ml of Percheron Shiraz/Mourvedre, South Africa - £4.60 I was too stuffed to have a pudding. I would have done, if I'd noticed their pudding wines. I know, I know.... greedy, but I have a rotund figure to maintain. :-) Well served by the staff...... Now the wife wants to visit!!!!
