| Recently called in for a pint and a bite to eat mid afternoon. Ok pint of London Pride, would have had the forty-niner but I was driving. Staff friendly enough, and I was offered a try before you buy sample of a real ale, We had two good value meals for £8. Only complaint was that they took a while to arrive, not sure why as the pub was pretty much empty. Barman talked a load of nonsense about real ales. All very clean.

| I have use the Woodman 2 or 3 times a month for the past 5 years,during th day and in the evening, and have never encountered anything but pleasant and helpful staff. Range of beers is probably more than average, and kept well. I have had the occasional "end of barrel" opint but always changed willingly and without fuss. Food and drinks are good value. My only complaint is that sometimes the food is a bit slow in arriving. If anyone has doubts about this pub, just look at the trade it does throughout the day and evening. surrey_sailor - 18 Sep 2010 22:15 |
| OMG! Yes, that dark haired member of bar staff is RUDE! Sje swears, ignores staff and it's wrong to have someone like that there! AlexJames - 21 May 2010 13:04 |
| Nice pub. Standard food and drink... Only problem is the bar staff. One girl there is terrible, dark hair, moody face. So rude and no personality at all. Looks like she's been slapped. I was there 2 weeks ago meeting a new business contact. Really should not have met here, took 35 minutes to be served. The girl swore at a collegue behind the bar (not professional in my opinion) and was so rude to me. If you don't want to be there, work somewhere else. There are plenty of 18 year olds that would do you job and do it ten times better. I think the management should look at their team and seriously consider losing the rude, arrogant ones. pub2009 - 10 May 2010 14:14 |
| This pub is totally lacking in atmosphere, and the beers are awful. The food is like dog's food, and the staff are extremely curt! I was told about the dire condition of this place by others before I decided to pay it a visit and see for myself..I could not believe how right the adverse reports of the Woodman were! It was shocking. The food gave my friend food poisoning, and we recommend that environmental health officers pay it a visit to deal with the obvious unhygenic conditions of the kitchen and food preparation area. It might or will probably be infested by rats and other vermin. The beer was truly bad, a limited and tragic selection of drinks that by any standards (and these aren't particularly good) tasted like, one can only state "like urine"; and the staff, especially the unaesthetic bar-staff were somewhat retarded, and definately required an education in etiquette and customer service skills, which were seriously needed. I can only suggest and beg others not to go to this "dive", it is terrible, and one can only hope that this establishment operates under new management, or the alternative to spare the good folk of Ashtead, that it is closed down; either way, God spare whoever vists The Woodman. kennethwood - 7 May 2010 19:41 |
