Woodcocks By Marston's Inns

Food and service was very good and the menu was priced very competitively. The food was hot and enjoyable and our waitress was very attentive and helpful. The initial reception on first arrival was a little slow but the staff were busy and it was not a major issue. We had a frail pensioner with us and the lighting at the front entrance could do with improving to light the pathway from the car park.

Generally good food, though it was relatively long wait. This we were made aware of on arrival so was not unexpected. Food came and was good size and tasty for pub food. The brownie dessert was very tasty. Staff were friendly, though could have been more available when waiting for food to give an update.

Our room was excellent, especially to meet my wife's disability issues. Our dinner and breakfast were absolutely fine. Best of all were the staff, all of whom were friendly and helpful. I must mention Beth, our evening waitress. She could not be faulted and improved our dining experience. As well as great service, she simply made us smile. I had 4 or 5 conversations with Matt.. He is super efficient and professional. We would not be looking anywhere but Woodstocks the next time we stay in the area. Thank you Andy Harding

Excellent arrived and was immediately shown to our table (we had prebooked on line) Within a few minutes we were asked if we would like to order drinks which we did, and also gave our food order. Five minutes later our coffee arrived, on asking for some more sugar the lady immediately went to get some. About 20 mins later our main courses arrived, generous servings, tasty, and attractively served. The pub was very very busy so a 20 minute wait was more than acceptable. After our meal we asked for the bill which was produced with the card machine. All staff were neatly dressed, friendly, helpful and professional and are to be commended as the pub was exceptionally busy and they managed to keep everyone happy. The pub was clean, with a pleasant ambiance, cutlery and tables were clean and the pub operated a table service only Overall a good experience and we will not hesitate to return

I was recommended the Woodcocks by a friend as a place to stopover whilst completing a charity bike ride. Nothing was too much trouble from arranging an evening meal for 14 and breakfast the following day to the just simple courteous and friendly attitude of all the staff. Well done to Matt and his team Gary (Endon Jolly Boys)

Stayed here for work loads this year its absolutely brilliant, one of my favourite stops. Rooms are spotless and modern. Biscuits left every day and cleaned. Location next to canal is perfect for walks and runs. Love it. Been for food couple times which is great value when you do the daily offers. And double up on the chips!
