I have enjoyed my visits to The Woodman, it's a well looked-after pub, the staff have always been friendly. Nice to sit outside and watch the passing scene in the Eastside Park, and listen to the kids using the science museum contraptions in the Thinktank opposite. Great location, good drinks. Recommended!

We visited on a Bank Holiday. Not much open on this day. Nice out of the way pub near the University. It's been sometime since I was in a pub with fresh Bass on pump. Service was good.
