The Woodman, busy for Sunday roast

Read this post on TravelFeed.io for the best experience



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.

Unfortunately it ruined a little bit my day, because the plans were to get some work done and chill a little bit out of the house and that goal was not accomplished. But well, could have been worst :D

I too tend to have a bad experience with coffee at a pub 😅

Yeah the majority of times is not the best. But the one I am trying today and will be sharing later it came with a big surprise.

Hello @sergiomendes,
You've got to love an old good English Pub, especially one with live music (but at the right time or for the right mood). I absolutely love an English Roast, or I'll have a Steak Pie, or anything hearty that ticks my fancy. Heading to a pub on a cold wintery day is the best, as it lifts the mood. Whether it be for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or a few pints with friends. It's hard to find an authentic English Pub outside of the UK, so it's great for me to come back and visit them again.
Have a lovely week!

yeah no matter which pub you visit you always feel home because all of them are so similar, so you get that familiar feel. In Algarve, south of Portugal you have many. It is a heavy touristic area with the majority of English people, even some "english villages". One year I remember visiting one of this pubs and no one could even speak Portuguese! LOL

Yeah, I've always heard about those communities of ex-pats that stick together. I rather mix with locals and get fully immersed in a culture, wherever I go!

That is way more fun. I was never into mixing much with other Portuguese people here in the UK! If I wanted to live as a Portuguese person I would be living in Portugal eheheh
