    The best roast dinner I have had in ages!! Gutted I haven't been here sooner. Lovely pub, atmosphere and people. Rob served us and he was lovely, can't wait to come back and try the home made ice cream 😊 would highly recommend!

    Had lunch here today. Plenty of choice - a very varied menu, and lots for a fussy vegetarian (me). You can see from the photo what I thought of the food (vegan sausage and mash with peas and gravy) :-). Rest of family group enjoyed their meals too. Comfortable atmosphere with excellent service. Car park is small, but there is a public, larger one on the opposite side of the road.

    Yet again The Woodbine delivers superbly. We stopped by just before 1pm on a Sunday on the off chance of getting a table for lunch as a reward for some serious DIY success and although we hadn’t booked and they were getting busy they fitted the 2 of us in We both went for the 4 meat roast dinner. As we saw the enormous portions being delivered to a nearby table my wife joked that we could have just ordered one and asked for a spare plate!! When ours arrived they were huge portions as the picture shows. We did manage to finish them all off but wifey had to sacrifice her usual sticky toffee pudding and custard. Every time we have eaten at The Woodbine it has been great. It’s a proper old school pub with great food, excellent drinks as they pride themselves on their very high standard of ales and there is a real welcoming atmosphere which makes you feel like one of the locals. Bravo! i

    Great selection of extremely delicious vegan and normal meals. The home made ice cream was out of this world and the vegan chilli was amazing, plus the Not Chicken Tex Mex salad is a dream. They are dog friendly and also super friendly with humans. We felt so cared for and we are just absolutely happy with this place and the staff and the food. We will defo come back. Thanks for everything

    Do you ever go to a pub, realise you've found somewhere special? This is one of those for me! Wonderfully warm welcome from the owner and his clearly very happy staff. Clientele all looked happy and relaxed. Food was amazing! Locally sourced, home made, generous portions and extremely tasty. They even made my girlfriend a meal which wasn't on the menu - amazing customer service! Beer selection is fantastic - plenty for anyone, including craft beer fans. I even bought some to take home with me. I couldn't fault a thing. I'll definitely be back. Long may this place last!!

    Excellent Sunday roast followed by walnut dessert with home made vanilla ice cream. Charming staff with attentive but not over powering service.

    Went for a light lunch and a beer with a couple of friends while down for a work thing. Great service, food was really nice and a good price for the area. Only marked atmosphere down by 1 star as it was a wednesday afternoon. I'm sure when the place is busy it'll be a cracking wee venue.

    We were let down by another venue, phoned the Woodbine Inn and they were able to accommodate us last minute. Service was great, so friendly and great atmosphere. Food was exceptional. An amazing Sunday roast with so much choice. Highly recommend, we will definitely go back and remember to book in. 5 stars!!!
