About the Woodbine Pub

History in every pint!

We're keeping the tradition of the English pub alive with every pint we pour. The moment you walk through our door, you'll think that you've just been transported back to a better, simpler time. But our assortment of the finest contemporary local brews, our renowned cider selection, Fine Wines, 20 Gins & Premium Spirit range mean we have something for everyone! Our modern take on traditional English cuisine & specials (all homemade including our fabulous Ice Creams) tells a different story. You've actually stumbled upon the best of both old and new, all under one roof.

We offer an excellent range of locally produced ales from Essex & Hertfordshire Brewery's. With 6 pumps on all the time there is always something new and interesting to try!

If you like ciders we are the place to come! Voted top Cidre Pub regionally and in top four nationally (hoping to get top spot this time around) we have over 40 ciders to try including CAMRA Medal-winning London Glider Cider, a company we have recently acquired, that makes cider from the apples of local residents gardens!

Great Food:

Featured Daily - Fresh Grimsby Fish. You can't have fish and chips without the fish, but we don't just bring in fresh Grimsby Fish. No, we feature a daily fish catch that you'll love.
