[url]http://www.woodmanpub.com/[/url] Their site needs updating but looks like sarnies and ploughmans type pub grub. Used to be regular there myself but don't get in there these days - there's nowhere nicer to sit outside with a pint on a sunny day for sure.

At present I am on dial up cos BT cut the broadband off early. Top marks for BT!!!! Yes, Woodman open all day Monday and yes, food on offer, albeit sandwiches, baps and "ploughman" lunches. Hot food available from Tuesday lunchtime.

Well, at last both Tony and I are in residence at The Woodman. We look forward to seeing old and new customers there, and would thank everyone for their past custom at the Black Horse. Linda

I visted this pub for the first time, and it is very nice indeed - exactly the reason why I love coming back from exile. I was however slightly surprised having ordered a pint of IPA and a fosters shandy to receive only £2.80 change from my £10.00 note. Either it's massivly expensive or a mistake was made at the till. A lesson learnt there in that I should check the change before it goes into the sky rocket. Ah well.

That is expensive and has to be a mistake. Come back and we will refund. IPA is £2.70 and Fosters £3.10. When were you here? Please accept our apologies. We do have a new member of staff, but that is no excuse. One question however, how do you know how much change you were given if you did not check it before it went into your pocket?

I went there yesterday at around 1630. I know how much change I got to the penny because I only had folding money on me and put the change directly into my empty trouser pocket - which I only took the trouble to check when I got back home. Thanks for the offer of the refund - however to take you up on it would blow my cover. The fact you offered is enough.

Very good. Mistakes happen, especially when one starts a new job. You have a lovely little pub there, my friend and I had a grand hour or so sitting in the beer garden and I was very happy with the ale. Hertfordshire countryside at it's best.

Took a stroll up to the Woodman for the beer fest on Friday and Saturday. There was some top top music both nights outside. Beer brilliant and the barby was great too. This is a fantastic pub!

Visited for the first time late this afternoon. Had the little one in tow so was well suprised by the play things in the garden - she loved it. She loved the ducks wondering around too. A nice pint of IPA to boot. Keep up the good work Tony & Linda.

Tony very kindly kept my beer cold in the back room while I drove back to Hertford to collect the good lady (after I'd been told off for going to the pub without her).

Called in tonight with a couple of friends. The beer is 100% first rate, the garden is lovely, the food looked good and, sitting outside and chatting, relaxing after a busy day, I just thought to myself, THIS is what a country pub is all about. Fantastic!

Went here on Sunday. Lovely place - will visit more from now on. Do you open during weeknights? I ask because a few pubs on our cycling route have odd opening hours ..

Went to the Woodman today. Reception frosty. Ordered two cheeseburgers and chips for over £7.00 each. Even though there were only six other people in the pub, the food took over an hour to arrive, and even then wasn't cooked properly. Two procesed burgers, rare in the middle....nice. Won't be going there again. [:(!]
