  Located at the top of Sydenham Hill and only a stone’s throw away from the Sydenham Hill Wood, the Woodhouse feels like it is something out of a fairytale. Like Hansel and Gretel stumbled across that magical gingerbread house, here I was after a trek around the city forest, in the middle of suburbia, setting foot into this wicked refurbished pub which genuinely felt like a home away from home. The atmosphere here is warm and welcoming with a buzz that comes with being an extremely family-friendly destination. And the food is nothing to forget either. The menu is split into two being the restaurant menu of more refined dishes, and the bar menu which offers the standard burgers, sausage and mash, fish and chips etc. Today we opted for the informality of the pub menu with an order of the ale battered cod with triple cooked chips & mushy peas and the falafel burger with fries.As with any pub meal, you tamper expectations but the food here was genuinely very enjoyable. The falafel burger, though not particularly appetising to the eye, was more importantly appetising to the palate and even a carnivore such as myself had to go back for a few more bites. However, the fish and chips were the showstopper on this day; a generous piece of cod with the crunchiest of batters only surpassed by the accompanying potato. On my return, I will be getting this again. The peculiar thing about the Woodhouse is that, for all its look and feel as an independent, it’s actually a Young’s establishment, giving hope that a pub doesn’t need to sell its soul to benefit from being part of a chain.
