Eight of us Came in for dinner on Friday night. Not a bad place for a quiet meetup. Seafood was decent. They could improve the stock flows. The server was friendly too.

Delicious food every time and always a lovely vibe with great 80s music
Great spot! Ribs were supreme, my partner took the grilled hake. Both lived up to their promise, being well-presented and tasty. Quiet atmosphere midweek. Easy parking and clean restrooms. Enjoyed our evening there. Adding a few decent craft beers to the menu would be a bonus.
Went to Woodcutters for Valentine's day dinner. I kniw what you thinking "odd place for a Valentine's dinner venue" but in my defense we wanted to try something different that didnt have "Set menus" most other more romantic settings had satet menus that cost on average R400 pp and didn't offer all that much for the price. Woodcutters offered no set menu and even had a steak special that consists of a 21day aged rump steak, chips and onion rigns for R50! Yes R50! The steak was only 200gs but with a starter was more than sufficient. My girlfriend had ribs as a main and it was delicious. Probably their best item on the menu. Me deing a sucjer for a good deal opted for the rump steak and dare i say it was one of the best steaks iv had in some time. The meat was tender and cooked ro perfection. I ordered medium rare and it came "you guessed it" medium rare. Not medium like so many other establishments that are way more pricy and known for their steaks. I wont mention names. Woodcutters exceeded my expectation. The waitress that served us was curtious and friendly and i really cant find much to criticize the service. If i had to be pedantic i would crit the fact there wasnt enough napkins on our table and i needed to ask for more but that is me being overly critical. We had a wonderful evening and i applaud an establishment that dosnt push Valentine's day and try capitalize set menus with no other options. Well done Woodcutters and i hope you keep up the great work you doing in the kitchen. You will be seeing us again thats for sure. Any resturant that 2 peope go to for a romantic dinner and the bill comes to R410 (incuding tip) that includes two starters two mains, two glasses of wine and two cokes is great value for money. The biggest issue i had as someone that dosnt drink is the price of their soft drinks are on the high side. Over R20 for a 300ml coke is in my opinion a little too expensive. But as i only payed R50 for one of the best steaks iv had its again a very small gripe. Iv heared a lot of criticism on the interior of the restaurant being a little dated but i dont agree. Its filled with pictures and even tools used to fell trees in the old days and i find it a breath of fresh air compared to the minimalist venues that are so abundant everywhere you go. Woodcutters tells a story and i personally like that. I recently hurt my back so i was rather uncomfortable on the chairs but im sure that was only due to my injury and not the furniture. My girlfriend found the chairs to be perfectly comfortable. They also have booths available with very comfortable benches. There is no smoking inside but outside there is a smoking section. All and all im impressed and i hope this establishment is still here long after im not. Salute Woodcutters you have made my top 10 places to eat a wholesome meal.
Homely service from the manager and staff. There was live music outside and those folks also had a roaring time. Prices are good with special events on certain evenings.
