Have been a regular for several years, going every thursday for the Jam nights with my dad since I was about 15, for the first time in the 4 years I have been going has the issue of ID been raised, we were all there watching the music, although I am 19 some of my friend's siblings weren't and were asked to leave, despite the fact they were not drinking, and definitely not making any sort of undue noise or disturbance. The manager was very rude and did not seem to realise the this pub for a long time has always been reknowned as a family pub. It took the guy who runs the Jam session to sort it all out, very upset!

just re-opened after a bit of a paint job.unfortunately had teething troubles in kitchen so had to stop taking food orders. bit annoying but i'll try again next week. also the carvery has gone!!! bring it back, it was the best thing about the place on a sundat.

Not a bad pub has a bit of a chavy element to the punters but there is generaly a good mix of people. The sheer size of the place means that there is plenty of space.
The bar staff are usually very friendly and its the cheapest pub around - you get change of a fiver from two pints!

Had lunch there today & waited half an hour for the food to arrive (this was a combination of my freind ordering roast chicken & there appeared to be only one person serving food). Nevertheless this incident wouldn't deter me from returning as it's a nice location with a pleasant atmosphere, considering it's on Durnsford Road.

Surprised by scowley's comment as have seen many a dog in the Woodman, namely the one that appears to be the landlord's as it's always behind the bar! Not quite sure what's going on there then...Regardless, it's an entirely acceptable pub, probably bordering on good! The dartboard, pool table, and quiz machine makes it more interesting than most, and the food is tasty and very reasonably priced. The staff, too, are very friendly, and has a lively atmosphere for sport, mainly football (and mainly Chelsea!). Great to have as a local, though may venture to the Pig and Whistle also if I was after a catch-up chat or a relaxed evening. The Woodman's all about having a few pints before venturing into Central London via the District Line later on...At that game, few can beat it!

Been using the Pub off and on for nearly 10 years. Today was asked to leave halfway through my second pint on the grounds that I had my dog, Guinness, with me and dogs were barred because they served food! Two points; virtually all pubs serve food without discriminating against dogs and secondly there were no notices that I could see, nor could any of the other regulars, stating discrimination against dog owners. New management obviously required

I would have give this place at least 8 out of 10, the
music on a thursday was great, the beer was good.
But sorry to say the Scottish manager who looks after this place is the rudist man I have ever come across in all my drinking years - I will NOT re-visit this place

What a fantastic pub!! It has great atmosphere, friendly service and good food! Def worth a visit!

Nothing good about it, nothing bad about it. Uninspiring choice of beers, uninspiring menu. It's really the only option if you're in the immediate area - but if you're after more than a couple of quick pints you're better off going down the road to the Pig & Whistle. The big screen is good for the rugby though.

My local pub and it's fabulous. Friendly staff, wonderfully cheap and tasty food, and good beer. Everything a good pub should have is here - give it a go!

What can I say about this pub, a great pint of Bom-bard-iar! The beers wet, the foods warm! Plenty of it also for a big lad like myself! A cracking pub.

Rugby supporting pub which is a pleasant change from the soccer-supporting hooligans in most english pubs.
Good atmosphere and friendly service.

Needs a good lick of paint, but does have big screen I suppose.

part of John Barras franchise. Traditional English Pub with a friendly Antipodean content. Lovely Beergarden.
