I always go here for Sunday lunch and the live music whenever I visit KZN from the UK. The food is always good and the service fairly prompt, i'm usually there with a lady friend for the afternoon so never in a rush anyway. The...staff are always friendly and some of them are quite a good laugh, or maybe that's the effects of the beers i've had in the course of the afternoon. All in all a good, down to earth place with good food, good drinks and decent staff, if you're visiting from the UK Sundays are best.More

6 people from our table ordered fillet steak. Waited an hour before being served sirloin instead. This was not our waitress’s fault however. When she went to fetch our food from the chef, she was only told then, after the food was cooked that they...had run out of fillet. So when we were served sirloin, it was a case of like it or lump it! Not impressed. Won’t rush back there in a hurry.More

A family orientated restaurant, the ambience is very chilled... You don't want to give this place a miss... booking is essential... food is beautifully served , you just want to tuck in... safe parking..

Too dark and dingy inside with no atmosphere.Food is very plain and may be sizable portions but lacks flavour and freshness.Live music on Sunday is quite good. Woukd only recommend it for a pre super drink if you are very thirsty.More

Lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Found this restuarant where the locals hangout. Wide variety on menu. I had one of the most tasty beefburgers in a long time. Wife ordered potato skins which were well presented and very tasty. Wide variety of beers (bottled and...on tap). Relaxed friendly atmosphere contributed to enjoyable luncheon.More

My son loves meat, so Woodcutters was the place to go. Nice, efficient service and the food was good (wasn't average, but also not very good or excellent). My steak was cooked as requested but had sinew and gristle - dampens one's enthusiasm at the...best of times. My son never commented on his steak, so I assume his was great.More

Good day Sorry to hear about your steak.Sometimes we do get a steak, in the delivery, that has sinew. Its not always visible and we are only aware, when the client points this out.Our policy is to always redo a new steak. Regards

Average is perhaps unfair on this spot. Our food was above average and in all fairness we didn't try many of their options. Perhaps if we return and experience a 2nd time we might rate it good to very good, which one could rate it...now if one considers the variety; outside area undercover with live bands sometimes, inside restaurant, pub and casino with ample parking after hours.More

A heat wave met us when walking into Woodcutters, it was extremely hot and if it was not for the fact that we were part of a group meeting for a farewell dinner we would have left. Although the airconditioning was supposed to be on...it does not circulate throughout the restaurant. The menu stated that you could have chips, veg or salad with your ribs but when I asked for salad I was told it would be an extra R20. I pointed out that according to the menu this is not an extra but a choice with your meal so hopefully the extra R20 was not added to the bill. The ribs were average but we probably would have enjoyed it better had it not been so extremely hot inside, we really just needed to finish off so we could leave. Sitting outside would probably have been better but then this would be a smoking area so it was not an option.More
