Woodman

Head out to Thorpe Wood and you'll find the Woodman doing exactly what a neighbourhood pub should do. It's the kind of place where regulars know the bar staff and you won't feel out of place dropping in alone for a quick drink after work. The food's straightforward — think proper pub classics that won't disappoint — and they keep the ales rotating, so there's usually something worth trying on tap. Nothing pretentious, nothing trying too hard, just a genuinely welcoming local that pulls in everyone from families on a Sunday to lads catching the match.
