Woodman

An attractive solid-looking brick, flint and tile building with some late gothic flourishes in the form of a circular turret room with conical roof and weather vane. One bar pub with food available all day from 12 till 10 (9 Sunday). The guest beers change regularly; sometimes there is only one available. Real cider is sometimes available, occasionally from one of the handpumps. There are also regular promotions (50% off food on Mondays) and events (poker on Tuesdays, quiz nights on Thursdays and live music one Friday a month). Outside is a large and pleasant garden with a sandpit for the kids to play in and a lit and heated smoking area. In the summer there are various events held there including terrace barbecues on Sundays. The village only got its pub in the early 1900s when it was built as an annexe to the local manor house. Be warned: it is a long uphill walk from Woodmansterne station! There is a CAMRA discount but the staff sometimes have problems finding it on the till. Mondays are Cask Ale Day when there is a large discount for everyone on pints, the CAMRA discount is only applied to the full price so would only be worth having on halves on a Monday. There are two televisions for terrestial sport and a woodburning stove in the back on the left. There is free WiFi and dogs are made very welcome.
