Woodman Inn in South Staffordshire

Seems like a great local pub with good food at reasonable prices. Fantastic selection of drinks and deals on food on different days.

Recently refurbished. Great for sport and a catch up

Food mixed some good some dry or cold . Advertising 20 per cent off food until end of January but nothing taken of all three courses ordered from group of use so bit misleading .

We had an amazing experience here today! The pub looks amazing after the recent refurb, the food and service was second to none! Cant recommend this place enough

I've been to this pub a few times over the years. But since the refurb and I think it's chloe and jemma have taken over management. It has been a lot better. Warm welcome. And great service through out. Would recommend this place to everyone.

Came in for food after the refurb with my partner and the food was amazing and the atmosphere was so good! Deffo be coming back again!

Popped in a couple of times before Christmas, steak was cooked to perfection! Son thoroughly enjoyed his burger too. Nice friendly staff made it an enjoyable experience

Another great trip to the Woodman with a warm welcome from Jemma

I had the mixed grill, was amazing. Came out quick and was piping hot, Katie and Demi were attentive and service was quality.

Food was absolutely fantastic great service would highly recommend

Have used twice since renovation, food is value for money, nice to have the pub back and tidy. Always good for pre-gig drinks whilst waiting for friends or taxi

Lovely food and made to feel extra welcome by the staff who took time to chat even though it was busy-thanks Andrea. We'll definitely be back!

Ordered 2 starters/big sharers. A very annoyed woman came to the table and started asking if we expect food, when we confirmed that we ordered food she started asking what exactly we are having with the worst attitude possible, I felt like I am at exam or back to school 😳🤦 After finally confirmed that is the correct order she decided to start shouting that the table number is wrong and because of us she walked all around with this food. Dropped it all on the table and walked away. The sauce on one sharer was wrong and the pulled pork on the nachos was completely missing ( we paid extra for it 😂 ) Very quickly all this was sorted with a sloppy watery new portion which the woman so proud of herself said that she took somebody else order to give to us 🤦It's great that the pub had a new look, but definitely need to improve a bit more on the service. People should have a good time when they decide to go out... especially on Boxing Day - it's once a year 🎄😁

Excellent food and service, highly recommend a visit

Lovely happy place, with wonderful service, pet friendly for my small well behaved dog will return.

Didn’t go myself personally but my sister took my kids for breakfast with Santa. I’m writing a review because I’ve never seen such bigger smiles out of my sons face ( who doesn’t talk to anyone or talk at school) apart from family and he spoke to people at this pub and came home and said he wanted to go straight back. I’m so pleased with how the staff were with my children, so thank you for making this experience perfect for them. And they said their breakfast was amazing and they wanted to go again for breakfast! ( they loved the Elves! And Santa) Thank you woodman inn

Went to here with my family for a meal the food was amazing the staff were so kind abouslutey beautiful place to be well done to all the staff for making us feel so welcome will definitely be coming back

Wow, such a change since the refurb, it was always a great venue, but now it is excellent, service by Saffron was fantastic, she couldn't do enough for us, food was great plenty of it and very tasty, good value and a great atmosphere.

Brought my son and nephew and niece for breakfast with Santa, the staff went above and beyond to make sure my family was looked after, the food was delicious. I can’t rave about this place more! Will definitely be going again! The kids had a wonderful time. Big up to Tom and saffron for making sure the kids had a wonderful time( and Santa of course)

Pleasant staff but service very slow even though over half the tables were empty food average

Really good food with some good deals as well. Service was really quick and effective with the staff being really polite and attentive. Ben was our bartender - was really easy to talk to and good at his job. Will definitely be returning:

Recently visited the woodman with my family. As a whole, the experience was top notch! food was delicious and served with a smile. Steak and Ale pie was amazing! highly recommend! Servers really friendly and welcoming - will definitely be coming again!

Brilliant brunch! Great work from Brendan and the team. Drinks were flowing

We booked a brunch in the Woodman after popping in for a few pints during November where we spotted the offer for Bottomless Brunch. We turned up with not much expectation as we had booked it without thinking of the outcome. IT WAS SUPERB!!!!! We arrived and were welcomed into the pub by our server . We were seated in a section with our own personal server who literally bent over backwards to keep us happy. The options for drinks were excellent and the waiter was so attentive that we had enough drinks to sink a battleship before our food arrived. The food was great with options for breakfast, lunch and Vegetarian. The whole team were so attentive and friendly that we will be back here as soon as the opportunity arises. Absolutely 10 out of 10. Bilbrook is back on the map

Chloe was amazing.She was so attentive and gave us such a great experience at bottomless brunch

We went to this lovely newly refurbished pub a few Sundays ago for Sunday lunch. The food was excellent and nice and hot too, good variety of meats to choose from and excellent value for money. Service was excellent, Holly attended to all our needs. Would highly recommend this cosy pub. Will definitely be returning 👍

I purchased a drink in cash for my daughter on the day of Bilbrook christmas fayre. I got charged £100 parking fine for parking 20 mins on the car park. Not a great way of getting a bit of extra cash out of your customers really, particulalrly at christmas and also when every £ matters these days, and also when other local pubs do not charge. Have been a customer of the woodman for decades, not very happy you have done this to a loyal customer. Wont be coming back as a result, be careful anyone going to the Woodman. Response from owner noted: As i have said in my review i paid in cash, you are making it difficult by stating only proof of payment will enable you to rectify the £100 parking fine, yet other reviews below (Gary Pearson) also had the same issue and paid in cash, but you were happy to rectify his £100 parking fine but not mine. Not only are you preying on people busy lives to yield you parking fine income, but do not treat your customers equally either. Not a great business model is it really? Even Michelin starred restaurants who serve the best food, do not try and yield income from parking fines.

Couldn’t decide what to have and one of your servers Tom recommended a beef burger that had all the bits and pieces on. Great recommendation. Still thinking about it now.

Lovely food , happy staff , nice atmosphere would recommend

Had such a lovely meal here with my nana and grandad on Tuesday they made me put a review! They LOVED their food and especially the service from Thomas! They’re always chatting peoples ears off when we go for food but he was more than pleased to keep the conversation. They genuinely had a great time.

Lovely pub, amazing staff, super yummy food!! Can't fault anything from this place!! Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Food was spot on 👌🏼 definitely recommend and will be visiting again!

Great service today at The Woodman from Jemma and Chole , we really enjoyed our meals. A lovely new pub great decor , will definitely re visit.

Visited Saturday with my family we had the 3 course festive all planned by jemma comunication from start to finish was amazing she couldn't do enough for us food was also lovely we really enjoyed it thanks so much we will be back soon

Tried bottomless brunch out for the first time since the pub has reopened it was amazing super fast service jemma took good care of us and was really attentive

Had a fab evening. Jem was very welcoming and her service was spot on 😊

Food was wicked!!! Jemma was an absolute gem - great customer service 👌

Great food and atmosphere lovely service from all the staff will be back

First time back for lunch since the refurb! All the food and drinks were lovely. The place looks great, love the new decor. Great service too from Andrea.

I am writing to share my disappointment regarding the service we received during our recent visit to your establishment. We arrived at your pub with a party of seven, excited to experience the refurbished space and its offerings. Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by the unhelpful attitude of the manager on duty. When we requested a table for seven, we were informed that it was against pub policy to either add a chair to a table for six or combine two tables of four. When we rang 2 days before, we were told to come in at 6 as there would be space. This decision was particularly frustrating given that the pub was far from full, and it was evident that there were reasonable ways to accommodate our group. The refusal to find a solution not only lacked flexibility but also left us feeling unwelcome. As a newly refurbished establishment, one would expect efforts to prioritise customer satisfaction, especially when the request was manageable and would not inconvenience other patrons. So we left and had a lovely meal somewhere else. Regrettably, this experience has deterred us from returning, as it left the impression that customer needs are not a priority. We had been looking forward to trying out the updated pub and its atmosphere, but this incident has overshadowed that anticipation. I hope this feedback prompts a review of your policies and approach to customer service so that future visitors have a more positive experience. Sincerely

Very prompt service from Rhiannon, will definitely come again.

Always friendly, love the new refurbishment, looks comfortable and stylish, exactly what you want, food was lovely

Lovely service. Didn't have to wait long for food every one very friendly

Good service and friendly staff, pub looks great after the refurb! great choice of food but steak was tough, I know it happens so no biggie, all other meals were top notch!

The pub has a friendly atmosphere and the refurbishment is wonderful. We went on a sat early evening and the football was on the tvs (quite loud) however our food was lovely and I will return for another experience

Tasty food Good prices Friendly staff

Son had steak and was great. Daughter had burger which was also great, husband had scampi due to no fish and also good. However my meal was the steak and ale pie and the pie was doughy on the bottom.

Lovely to see a busy pub full of family’s

Tacos were spicier than expected but very tasty and service was always quick and nice

Visited today for a family birthday, not very impressed, child meal came out undercooked cheese/tom pizza, freezing cold corn on the cob, sent it back and although was rectified by the time it came back the child had eaten off the adult plates so didn’t want his meal, pizza came back with just a little bit of cheese in the middle ! And corn had been reheated in the microwave so was dry! Don’t know how they won award for the beef and ale pie was very salty, gravy was a congealed thick blob in a side dish and the mash was flattened on the plate and very dry! Curry was ok but not fantastic, the 3 plates offer on menus where you choose what you want was good, Roly Poly dessert was a sweet mess, a dry suet in the middle of the plate jam poured over it and a side pot of custard, with needless to say we will not be coming back, staff were very helpful shame the food let it down !!

Friendly.Great service. Good food. Lovely atmosphere. Looking forward to our return.

Visited this pub for the first time in many years a week or so ago. It was a Friday night about 10pm and dark. Today I had a parking fine posted to me for £100. Disgusted. Needless to say I will never be back.

food was lovely and staff were really friendly and chatty

Love pub Lovely food Just a bit chilly inside

Great free customer parking . Lovely food. Excellent customer service. Will definitely e back again.

Very good love the new layout friendly staff very good served hot food not a long wait either highly recomended 😀🥰

The food was absolutely beautiful, I’d definitely recommend the Salt and pepper chilli chicken and the lasagna. Andrea was very welcoming and told us we needed to register our car registration on the iPad to stop any chance of a fine. We will definitely be back. Thank you all.

Popped in today for a couple of drinks and a snack. Staff very welcoming and invited us to sit anywhere, even though we had a dog. Treats and drink for Kim were sorted. Wine was good and the hubby said the beer was good too. Lovely clean, spacious, welcoming place . We’re going back next week!

Both my wife and I had a meal at the Woodman this evening , which was exceptional. We were made to feel very welcome by the staff, particularly Tom who provided excellent service. Our meals were cooked exactly the way we asked, please thank the chef. Overall, the service and experience was second to none, we’ll done Craig and the team we will definitely be back soon.

Popped in for a drink on the way home and now a week later have received a fine for £100 for parking outside the pub. Unfortunately I paid cash for the drinks, so no proof of purchase. Beware if you are going here. I will not be paying without a fight.

Nicely refurbished but a tad chilly, we never took our coats off. Staff really friendly and helpful and quickly rectified a problem with our food. Meals were nice but nothing special for the price. When we next go out for a meal would the Woodman be near the top of our list? Probably not.

Firstly I would like to say is what a Fantastic Refurb The Woodman has had ... However I requested no salad with my lasagne and there was a plate full of it ?? I had Gammon and it was full of black pepper both sides absolutely ruined my meal we ended up wrapping it up for me dog .... We had no check back to feed this back ..So so dissapointed !

Lovely look clean pub however the was food bland and over priced will not return for food not worth the money paid

My son and I decided to give the newly refurbished Woodman a try. Wow . Firstly a lovely clean and welcoming atmosphere Food was served within a short time after ordering and was delicious .and all the staff were very polite and cheerful. The outside garden at the rear is amazing . We will be back soon. .

Really enjoyed it here. The salt and pepper and chilli chicken was lovely. Much better than I expected. Service was good too.

Didn't have food . The decor is very nice inside theyve done a great job and it reasonable

We had lunch here,It was lovely. We were served by Saffron, she was very polite and very helpful and friendly. I would recommend the Woodman George

The pub looks nice but it was very cold with no heating on. The barman Thomas was very friendly and nice. However he was on.his own, serving drinks and taking food orders. Having to make the coffees and take them to the table. It meant customers waiting a long time to be served. The pub was quite busy and so understaffed. The coffee served in tiny cups was not very hot especially after adding cold milk. The food was very nice and reasonably priced.

First time visiting here since it re-opened following the refurbishment. Interior is much better and a lot cleaner. We had 3 soft drinks and 3 Sunday lunches ( 2 beef and 1 turkey) total cost £51 so not cheap by any means! Meals arrived piping hot, roast potatoes were nice, peas, carrots were also good but broccoli was under cooked. There is a serving of cauliflower cheese that comes in a small pot this was disappointing the cauliflower was also under cooked and the sauce was tasteless without a hint of cheese. There was a generous serving of beef but on mine well over half of it was inedible as it was fat and gristle. When asked if our meals were ok I did point this out to the waitress who said she would tell the chef and that was the last we heard about it 🤷‍♀️. On the whole I would not recommend here for Sunday lunch. ☹️

Came for a meal Thursday, pub lovely beer ok can't say the same for our meal, starter bought out with the main, not even the starter we ordered, our steaks were as tough as old shoe leather and half the chips weren't cooked through. A huge disappointment.

It’s been a long time since we visited this venue, after seeing that it had a major refurbishment we decided to give it a try. Staff were extremely helpful and polite especially Saffran who waited on our table, food was very well presented and tasted great. We gave it 4 stars as there were only 10 people in the pub as it was early but there was a table of four ladies who were very loud and were constantly swearing at each other. As they were sitting directly in front of the bar I expected someone to have a word with the group. Don’t let this put you off trying the pub as this group will not always be in and we will certainly be going back.

Food and service was excellent, Saffran who waited on our table was very efficient and extremely polite.

Absolutely beautiful...You didn't feel you was working into a pub.It was walking into your own home. Very friendly staff couldn't di enough for you so welcoming. Food was superb quality was off the finest....Definitely will be coming back....Absolutely fantastic...

Lovely refurbished local pub, so nice to see it busy, decor looks so nice, this was very much needed for the community. Staff were very attentive and polite. Food has improved, will definitely be coming here more often.

First visit since the refub and lovely it is too. Menu offers a good and varied choice. We had food from the lunchtime menu, which was superb value for the money. Highly recommend is the Halloumi with hot honey, in a wrap. Bar staff on arrival were very attentive, sorry didn't get his name, and our server Tom was very friendly, polite and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again.

Would definitely recommend a visit to the Woodman. Great atmosphere, friendly welcoming staff and excellent value for money food. Great menu with something for every taste and the Monday - Saturday two for £15 offer is fantastic. Already planning our next visit!

Come here all the time, refurb looks fab, the whole team are great especially Demi always friendly and happy to recommend things, she cannot do enough! Definitely recommend a visit

It was a family birthday meal with my daughter and Grandchildren. My husband and I had a meal in there the day it reopened and thought the food was nice and good value for the money.

Visited on the 15th October 2024. Was served by Demi, who was extremely professional and polite with great product knowledge. An overall excellent experience.

Demi was our server and she did an amazing job making sure the kids were more than content and satisfied with her service.Big thumbs up to her and the rest of the team on doing amazingly while having just reopened and new menu.👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥

First time since re opened and food was amazing staff were great and no waiting times and can't fault Chloe and her team well done

After a £650,000.00 refurbishment I came into this establishment on its day of re-opening. I can safely say that the investment was well and truly needed. This is now one of the busiest pubs in the whole of Wolverhampton.

Why does it say the pub is at the heart of Codsall. When it's in Bilbrook?

Excellent Sunday lunch, beef rib amazing. Staff very attentive and friendly. Prices really good. Can’t wait to see it after the makeover.

Good food friendly staff good atmospere good pub grub not overpriced but the price of the drinks make it to some a over priced meal for familys where drinks are dearer than the food.

I can't understand why the Carlsberg lager is 80p dearer than the Harrowby arms 2 miles away.

Nice steak.Could of done with a bigger 1 on the menu

Today we celebrated twenty years since we first met, so wanted a nice lunchtime meal out to celebrate. Hadn't been to the Woodman Inn for over five years and have to admit we were pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely superb, with everything cooked to perfection, in fact my wife said it was probably the best steak she had ever eaten, which is praise indeed. I had the Halloumi flatbread with Tikka sauce which was extremely mouth watering. The side dishes of chips and onion rings were perfectly cooked too. We finished off with two ice cream sundaes that had Mars and Maltesers pieces in them. If you have a sweet tooth I can truly recommend those Sundaes. The staff in there are extremely friendly, really helpful, attentive and really make for a welcoming atmosphere, which is really what you want to celebrate a special occasion. The prices are extremely competitive, so will certainly be returning there again.

jo was amazing very helpful and attentive

Very nice and clean and friendly

Food was good value, service seemed a little slow considering how quiet it seemed but friendly staff. Would definitely return.

Haven't been to the Woodman for quite sometime, but after recommendations from a friend I decided to take my family there for a Sunday teatime treat. Will we go back again' Yes most definitely...Good food, reasonably priced with a great range of Beers & Cider. The Three lads that were working behind the bar and front of house were a credit to the Pub, very polite & attentive...nothing was too much trouble. Thanks Guys for a lovely afternoon.

great burger had The Cheesy BBQ Stack and it was very good

Great food. Great drinks. Great staff. Couple of things out of stick but that's not a big deal. Alternatives were had and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Tandoori Temptress burger is an absolute must, wow. Will definitely return.

The Tandoori Temptress burger was immense. Great good overall, staff were great. Absolutely no complaints. Had no Lamb Kofta for the flatbreads but had an alternative that was damn tasty. Will definitely be back

Great food, staff and experience. Will be back!

This pub is a little gem. The food is delicious and exceptional value for money with various deals on offer most days of the week. The staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. We have been coming to this pub, off and on,for over thirty years and have never been disappointed in either the quality of the food on offer or the friendliness of the staff. If you're in the area and looking for a welcoming place to eat where good quality, tasty food is served and the assurance of excellent, friendly, customer service, then there is nowhere better, in our opinion, than The Woodman at Codsall.

Great food at a great price. Friendly service.

Poor menu choices for Vegetarians. Staff are brusk, when asked about menu. So we left. Dog friendly but not welcoming to all people.

Been a regular for a number of years now (9 ISH) and seen GM"s / staff come and go but can honestly say the current staff members are spot on! All helpful, friendly and IF any issues will resolve straight away. Fantastic team and believe a new GM is due after losing Dom who was a FANTASTIC GM ! Lets hope the new GM carries the positive momentum on 👍🏼

We love the Woodman, Jo the barmaid is always very welcoming and friendly and goes the extra mile. We forgot to order a starter for our daughter she sorted out in seconds, no drama. Great service.
