The Woodpecker, Waterlooville

Now refurbed and open, review and photos to follow once I get the opportunity

Currently closed for refurbishment, seems a big refurb loads of white vans & scaffolding, reopens mid May, when I will visit and post new review

Lunchtime visit, as part of group for Christmas lunch. Under new management for last couple of years, 3 hand pulls, one being doom bar. large inside, but mainly given over to food, they do have pub quizzes some evenings, and karaoke, so I guess the evening pub is very different from the lunchtime one Staff were polite, tidy & helpful Food was OK, not gourmet but not expected to be Has silent TV showing sport, which may change at night of course I would not hesitate to return, except it is not my local Worth a visit if in area, but not a special trip

Lunchtime visit, seems pleasant enough, clean & tidy, comfy seats + large car park Large varied menu, from burgers to steaks, has a carvery as well, 4 real ales on offer, all from different breweries, I had a Doom Bar at 2.70 which was nice enough I would go again

Took my wife here on our wedding anniversary for lunch, married for 20 years. Asked to remove my baseball cap, stupid policy, I am a 55 year old male that has never received a parking ticket and I refuse to be criminalized by a policy that is administered in such a black and white fashion. My business is obviously not wanted will never go back and neither will my friends and family. Good business practice in these hard times(?) well done.
