The Woodman, busy for Sunday roast

The Woodman, busy for Sunday roast

February 2022 · 3 min read · London

Sunday Roast time

Have decided to leave the house and explore some more places around the area that I live. As I said, there are not many coffee shops around and I am running out of new places, but there are still some pubs that I want to visit and check out. The Woodman was one of them but actually it was not the first choice for today.

But when I arrived to the place I was planning to visit there was someone playing live music and it was really busy, and to be honest I was more looking for a more quiet and relaxed place to be able to sit for a while and get some work done. So I have decided to move and try the Woodman.

I will start by saying that this place was pretty busy as well, but since it is such a big place with a lot of sitting area it was still fine. Inclusive the outside area was busy as well. That is another great thing about this pub.

I kind of forgot that Sundays it is Roast day and it is kind of tradition to go to your local pub, grab food, a couple of pints and just enjoy the day. So I only can blame myself that I was given a terrible table by the door. I was only having coffee so obviously they want to give the best tables to customers that would be spending more money.

On top of me not being really very happy with the fact that the place was more busy than I was expecting, that I got sit in a terrible table, then it was the cherry on the top of the cake. 

They brought me the worst coffee I have drank in a long time.

Everything about the experience today was not as good as planned. So by the time I had the first sip of coffee until I left the levels of frustration and stress just kept adding up.

I also know that selling coffee is not the Pubs priority and their main service so I was not super mad about. The reason I did not enjoy my staying and this visit was an accumulation of many negative factors. 

As I said the Pub look great, I had a nice service, they seem to have cool and nice events and I feel that if you are coming with friends or family to grab a drink that you will have a really nice time.

When I have decided to leave I wanted to capture some more photos of the place but this image on the top shows that I was really not having fun or enjoying to be in there anymore so I was just in a hurry to leave and get back so I could get some work done, as planned.

You can see here the place and it looks amazing. This photography above actually made this trip out of the house worth it. The grey and rainy day helped me create this fabulous image and in the end even if everything else didn't went as planned I came back home with this really beautiful image.
