Woodcutters Arms

I've been coming to Woodies for years, I have only ever had bar snacks before though. Went a couple of Sundays ago and had the Sunday Roast. Amazing, the whole family where happy. Not surprised at all as the food I've had before has always been top notch!

Several visits in the past have been pleasant enough. However my first experience of Sunday Roast was less than happy. I invited friends and along with my family booked for Sunday lunch. As said, this was the first time I have gone"off menu" and ordered the lamb roast. The plate arrived with about 4 pieces of very thickly sliced meat, grey on the outside and pink inside with thick fat along the edge, probably about 20 -25% of the slice was fat. To add to this, the meat was as tough as rubber (even the steak knife given with cutlery wasn't easily cutting through it) and looked more boiled than roasted. Frankly my home roasted lamb is about 500% better tasting, looking and is cooked till it falls apart in shreds (pulled lamb style full of delicious flavours). Then a small helping of beans and carrots and the rest of the plate filled with yorkshire pudding (I didn't order beef!) and piles of potatoes. Gravy on the side. So I asked for a retry of lamb or a conversion to beef roast as this was inedible meat and as I don't eat carbs there was not going to be more than 2 mouthfuls of edible veg for my ZAR 120.00 I think it was priced at. Another 2 pieces of meat were brought, minus fat, but still too thick, still too rubbery and tasteless. Embarassing to have brought my friends here.

Nice pub,good atmosphere and decent food .We went here a lot during our winter stay inHout Bay and can recommend for live sport on the TVs in the pub.Also a nice terrace area if you prefer to eat outside.

Had seen this pub before but never stopped. Tried it out today and was pleasantly surprised. Was greeted by the most awesome smell of good food the moment we walked in the door. Service is casual but attentive. Owner was very hands on. Had a light lunch and everything was so tasty. Loved the sweet chilli jam. Reasonably priced for the area and season.

Excellent home made style food. Good portions at reasonable prices. Friendly hosts and staff. Nice pub atmosphere.

If you like the casual vibe of a local English pub, give Woodcutters a try. Plenty of beers to try on tap and by the bottle, plus solid pub grub.

Good food, good beer, good atmosphere, good prices. This little pub really is great, so if you're looking for something like a traditional Britih pub ... what are you waiting for? We look forward to returning.

Good food and good service, decent crowd of normal folks with sport on TV running discreetly in the background

Easy eating and friendly owners, a pleasant relaxed atmosphere. Food is good, has a dog friendly outside area. Parking available.

Can't speak too highly about this place --- the staff ( especially the manager) are more than welcoming!Food is good ( and over the years we have tried most of the food available,and cannot fault anything!)We didn't want to come back to Cornwall --- and can't wait to see everyone again next year.Pasties might need to be considered for your next menu Stuart
