The Woodman, Claverley

Never thought I'd go to somewhere like David Austin Roses. It comes to us all! CAMRA provided no pubs of interest.So put our criteria into BITE & came up trumps, would have awarded 10 if they had local beer. 2 pints of Spitfire were excellent & my wife's 2 big slugs of Chianti hit the spot. Delicious beef sandwhich & the meals passing by us looked appetising. Somebody knows what they are doing in the kitchen, which makes a change. Saturday lunchtime & the place was nearly full,which speaks for itself, and there's lots of local competion. Professional, attentive & pleasant service.( No young t.ssers pestering you about the eating experience) We don't normally bother to eat out in the UK as it's overpriced & cr.p. We do spend mega bucks on food in France & S Europe. We'll tell our friends & revisit if in the area. CC Tewkesbury
