The Woodman - London

This pub in north London is pretty average. The food is decent and standard for a big pub located near a tube station. However, the quiz nights on Mondays are fantastic.

This beer garden is fantastic! There is plenty of room, including an indoor-outdoor area to escape to. The staff is very friendly and they offer a great selection of beers on tap.

This place doesn't use OpenTable anymore so we arrived and they didn't have our booking... !

We made a booking and were seated. We waited 20 min with no service (no water, no menus). I went up and had to ask for these. We then waited another 15 min and I had to go up again to ask for a server to take our order. We then waited for 45 min with no updates and when my partner went up to ask, the staff got very defensive, claiming it wasn’t their fault for being so busy and that food was taking at least an hour. We had my 6 year old daughter with me who was crying bc she was so hungry. We said if we had known that, we wouldn’t have stayed. When the meal finally did come, the food was average and our family afternoon had been ruined by this bad experience. I live locally and try to give the woodman my business to support local but after this experience, I am unlikely to return any time soon.

Went here for Brunch, service was ok, there a lot of people with dogs which makes it hard to relax and chat when trying to catch up with others. I had a chicken burger, it was nice the chips were delicious. Maybe I'll try a roast next time.
