More Information

The Woodman Inn is in Witney, a historic market town on the River Windrush, 12 miles west of Oxford in Oxfordshire. It is one of two pubs that cater for 1500 adults in the local area. There are over a hundred thousand people within the 20 minute drive in the catchment area. This target consumer is looking for a great pub with great food.  The current offer is  a traditional pub with a good range of cask ale and draft products, complemented with a core range of wines and spirits.  There is only a small food offer so a great opportunity to expand this.
