About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Woodies’ is an award winning, privately owned Free House tucked away in the depths of New Malden. We are a uniquely decorated venue with memorabilia dating back to the last century. Not only do we pride ourselves on the aesthetics of our pub, but we go above and beyond to provide friendly customer service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Our menus change seasonally and rely on what local produce is available. We take pride in supporting the local South West community and thus source all our food from businesses in the area. Our menus are a combination of new and old – we offer both traditional pub food and restaurant-style dishes designed by our international kitchen team. For those whose favour tradition, we have a Sunday Roast every week offering a variety of meats, the tastiest roast-potatoes you’ll ever have, and even a vegetarian option to please everyone! As Sundays often get very busy, we do recommend reserving a table in advance.

    The ale and beef pie was amazing. Never had so much good quality meat in a meat pie and te pastry was flaky and tasty. Excellent cooking skills. Service was friendly and efficient, but not overbearing. Would highly recommend a try.

    Not my first visit, food is always very good, excellent portions and very reasonably priced. Unusual little hideaway, very unfussy and friendly atmosphere. Good service, which is particularly highlighted by the manager, who makes everyone welcome, and makes sure all tables are looked after.

    We always enjoy the food at Woodies, the Sunday roasts are what we keep coming back for, I think they are the best locally, never fatty meat and very tasty. Friendly staff, local clean pub, great atmosphere, reasonably priced, easy parking, what more can you ask for?!!

    I first discovered Woodies about 20 years ago, but my last visit was around 4 years ago. I'm now back living in the area so rebooked for Sunday lunch and had a lovely time - the ambience has improved and I'm sure there's more space between tables, the food is still excellent value with generous portions, and the service was also very good. We will be back soon!
