Woodman's Rest Pub in Solihull

one star is for the lovely waitress. Ordered gamoon - told had no pinapple, ordered house slaw - told had no house slaw - it was only availble with meals that it was listed with. Food came - tiny amount of fries, (waitress said theres not enough on there, ill order some more) never came

Very disappointed yet again. Went for breakfast and ordered 2 eggs on 2 toast. Specifically asked for the toast not to be cut in half but lo and behold it was but it wasn't even toasted at all. It was just 4 halves of white crisp bread. It was awful. Sent it back and then waited 5 minutes to get 2 toast, whilst my eggs were sitting on my plate in front of me and obviously went cold.. it was awful service and presentation. Went a couple of weeks ago for the steak nights and again service was awful. Meal came out quick enough but then waited 5 minutes to get cutlery to eat it with. Will not be returning.

I've deleted my previous 5 star review and replaced it with this.This was my 2nd visit, my 1st being a quiet weekday lunchtime, and was the polar opposite of what I had previously experienced.We booked a table of 6 for 17:00 on a Sunday for a Sunday lunch.We arrived at 17:00 and were sent to an occupied table as ours through a point from behind the bar. We were then pointed to another occupied table, before finally being led to a table in the corner next to the gents toilets.The seat was torn and 'repaired' with masking tape, with food stuck down the sides.We were told that we could have the table until 20:00, which was fine. However, at 19:30 we were approached by a member of staff, whilst we were mid conversation, to advise quite abruptly that he "needs the table back now". So we left. It appears that the next group had arrived 30 minutes early, so we were basically asked to leave.....strange as the people in the table we had booked didn't receive the same approach.Now, given we went for a Sunday roast, we were advised whilst being seated that some of the Sunday roast were running out. We were advised to order at the bar or on the app, so we chose the app.Part way through ordering, a message popped up to advise that the pork had sold out, then the children's chicken, and the adults turkey was already greyed out. Before we could complete our order, a lady came out of the kitchen to advise that all Sunday roasts were now off and swapped our menus to normal ones.So for a Sunday roast, we had 5 burgers and 1 child's pizza.The food itself was underwhelming, nothing to complain about too much, just a basic burger with a few chips.Generally an unpleasant and disappointing experience, which ended suddenly and sharply, all of which being a bit of a waste of money.It is a shame, as the sandwich I had previously was nice and the staff friendly. However, this experience will leave me to not revisit.

Very much a local and (rightly) popular neighbourhood pub - and a rather large one at that. The mark down is because there was no water in the toilets to wash your hands and no provision had been made by Management to account for this. Not very good in these "Covid" times as the toilets were in constant use with no hand washing possible. When I raised the matter though, some hand gel was immediately supplied. Why was it not there in the first place?

We as a group of 6 ladies really enjoyed our lunch out ,the food was lovely . We were seated in a warm place and quieter space. Which was exactly what we requested . Thank you for your patience with us ,we will most definitely call again.

Came in on an the evening during Christmas week, the pub was busy and we couldn't find anywhere to sit so we stood at a high table, (for the time of year that is no surprise to me,) the Beer was crisp the atmosphere was great and the service was quick, we had a great time thank you!

Have been and eaten at the woodmans many times, normally decent size portions, but sorry Xmas lunch today was very disappointing. Turkey dinner was a single slice of turkey, and it was obviously from a turkey roast and not a proper turkey crown. The rest of the dinner was also on the small side.Service was good as always, environment is always nice.Will still eat here again, but will avoid it for my Xmas lunch in future.

Good pub!! Purity on Tap so that’s always going to be a good thing! Haven’t eaten there in over 5 years so hard to judge but all in all a good locals pub

I have loved this pub for years due to the friendly atmosphere good food and great service. However I was there with friends today for Lunch and we were very disappointed. The food was lukewarm. The worst thing was there was no heating in the place. There are artifical log fires which were switched on but giving out inadequate heat. All the radiators were switched off completelyThe ladies toilets were freezing too with no running hot water in the taps.Shame you can't reply to my complaint. That proves something!

Frozen, microwaved Sunday Lunch.Freezer burn visible on the veg.Tasteless.Pork slices had that signature 'school dinner' sponge texture and no flavour at allMicrowaved Yorkshire pudOnly reason this is not 1 star, is because the venue is great for drinks.Just don't bother with food here.
