Always very friendly and a great atmosphere. Great selection of beers and good wine too. Such a lovely afternoon.

Delightful country style pub, with no fruit machines, stinking food or blaring music and in a lovely quiet spot. In my two visits I have been disappointed with the ale and feel more training of the very young (but cheerfully willing) bar staff is required. They do not seem to understand the cellar and clearly have no knowledge of the condition of ales. The faffing over barrell changes and pull through was clearly due to inexperience. My Tim Taylor's was flat and lacking condition and I watched a pint of very soupy Harvey's, clearly dredged from the barrell bottom, blithely handed to a customer. I'm assuming the actual recipient sent it back. Hophead was fine but freezing cold. I will persist with the pub as it's friendly and civilised but, at present, I can see why the Guinness is popular.

This pub is a bit of a hidden gem. Fine array of drinks and a lovely garden . Well worth a visit

Nice pub, warm county pub feel. Beer selection is ok. Only thing to really let it down was the miserable bloke behind the bar.

The Woodman is a beacon of community in a town that can sometimes feel quite transient given it's great commuter links into different parts of the City, and it's 'night-out' culture. The Woodman truly is a pub for the locals and we love it!

The Timothy Taylor's Landlord is about as well kept a pint you'll find inside the M25. No music and no Sky Sports enable those meaningful conversations over a pint with friends and family that we all treasure.

Nice little down to earth booze off the main road. The crowd are locals and not pretentious. They also pull a perfect Guinness!

A small pub but full of characters from the local community. Popped in for a friend's birthday drinks. The bar itself is small but two staff working promptly served with a smile. It was very warm in there . But had a few drinks . Will return. Give it a try

Basic, but old school pub, where people are encouraged to talk to one another, and not sit playing with their phones!!
