Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Awful burgers, ice cold with a raw beef patty. Hugely overpriced. I'm guessing going by the other reviews the normal chef wasn't working tonight and we were just unlucky.

Amazing choice in burgers and gluten free options. Not the normal choice for toppings but delicious. Would definitely come again. Really didn't need the fries.

Not as good as it used to be. Looks very tired, no milkshakes on order, food not as nice as usual not the best staff. We used to live going here but the food has taken a downturn. No where near as nice as it...used to be. I wouldnt go again.More

I’ve always been a fan of The Woods and I’ve always promoted restaurant to my friends and family that was until this Saturday. Wanting to take advantage of Woods new takeaway service which we do used once or twice before without issue, but this Saturday,...after ordering a commodore, I was left with a broken tooth and cut mouth due to a large lump of sharp burnt material slap bang in the middle of the burger, I contacted woods on Saturday to be told no manager was available and I gave my details for somebody to call me back Sunday time. Nobody return my call I contacted them again to be told somebody had picked up my number and will be back to me as soon as possible, Monday comes and goes I email no response finally get through on Tuesday afternoon to talk to the manager, whose only excuse for not contact me as I wasn’t in. Can we get back to you know I haven’t read the email and I am insisting that they deal with my complaint as I’ve had already been waiting since Saturday. He hangs up so when we arrive at the restaurant to confront them face-to-face of which I videoed and threatened with the police because I’m threatening or harassing them because I’m trying to make a customer complaint and he doesn’t want to deal with it so he’s text the boss who tells him to just call the police. This is how they treat their customers.More

Lovely friendly staff! Food was great! Only downside was the manager who was moping around not helping and having a go at his staff which was odd as they were already running round whilst he was just leaning against the counter doing nothing!

We had a great time at the Woods. The restaurant itself is nice, great location and very vibey. Me and my partner were seated very quickly and had great service all evening. The waitress was very accommodating regarding special requests and any questions we had....The food itself was really good! My partner had a burger and chips. I had mozzarella sticks and cheesy bacon fries! It is not the cheapest but the portions are all very large and well worth the price. We did take some food home and we ate it all the next day! We will defiantly be visiting again!More

We were staying the night on Worthing and booked this on the recommendation of a family member. We enjoy a good burger and had viewed the menu online before arriving at the restaurant. We had an initial hiccup with my husband having a cold burger...but this was quickly rectified with a freshly cooked replacement and indeed a discount of 10% on the bill at the end of the meal. When pre-meal budgeting be aware that fries need to be purchased separately and are not included with your burger. A small but great choice of wines and beers, something for everyone.More

Disappointing. The lights were out above the side of the restaurant where we were seated. We could not see the menus without using the torches on our phones. We asked to be moved and were told all the other tables were larger and booked. We...watched what happened and there was at least one table we could have been moved to. When we ordered curly fries we were told they had run out. Really? They only offer two sorts of chips and surely they could have enough ordered to service the restaurant over Xmas and New Year? Then we ordered beers and were told neither of the two bitters were available leaving just two lagers. Again, unacceptable when you only have a very limited offer anyway. How can you run out of both beers? The Asst manager did not seem very concerned about the lack of light or lack of basics on the menu. They have never had any starters but also now only have two desserts and no ice cream. Suggests that they just want to get people through quickly and not interested in customers enjoying a relaxed three course meal. The burgers were OK but not as good as previous visits. Coleslaw was very good. We noticed that the bill indicated they are no longer independent and under a wider umbrella of a burger chain. Perhaps this explains it. Last time we ate here in the autumn the Gents loo was out of action meaning everyone was using the one ladies' loo which was in quite a state as a result. Again, nobody seemed very concerned or apologetic. This time, the toilet had not been inspected for some time according to the sheet on the door. We have eaten here regularly over the past four years because we really loved the whole experience but it has declined steadily and we will be trying elsewhere now. Such a shame.More

They definitely do. My daughter loves them. They also do “adult” milkshakes with a shot of something in. My favourite being the vanilla with a shot of baileys
