The Woodman, Sydenham

This is a really nice place, it is by far the best pub (perhaps with the exception of the Dolphin) in Sydenham. I think it suffers a but from being a little out of the way though, because it's always pretty quiet.

It has a nice homely atmosphere, with a log fire, wooden tables and candles. The bar staff are always really friendly and welcoming. I think a lady runs it, and you can tell because it's got quite a feminine feel!

We've been in for Sunday lunch which was excellent.

Two things though, firstly the music can be really awful James Blunt type music, put some decent music on or don't bother with it, but not James Blunt please!

Also, although they have a good wine selection the choice of beers aren't too good, they could do with a decent bitter.
