The Woodman, Ashtead

Went to the Woodman this afternoon and was pleased to see that there was plenty of room and they were still serving lunches. Thought it was a bit odd that when we walked up to the bar, the two barmen walked out from behind the bar and disappeared. Asked who we thought to be the landlady if she could get someone to serve us and she gave us a mouthful about how busy she was. One of the barmen eventually reappeared and gave us another mouthful - demanding to know exactly how many seconds we'd been kept waiting. The thoroughly unecessary nastiness of the Woodman staff spoilt a perfectly satisfactory afternoon and we will never return - which is a shame as it is our local.
