The Woodsman Kumeu

Beautiful food. I had the aged beef, delicious. Would definitely go again. There were 5 of us and everyone enjoyed their meal. Hubby had the pork belly. Said it was the best he has had. Jalapeno poppers yum yum

When it first started I was not impressed by their limited menu and there were many staffing teething problems. I came back the other day to give them another chance and very glad I did! Beautifully cooked steak and lovely flavours! The ribs were a bit tough though. Nice to have a middle of the road place with decent comfort food near home. Will be back.

Amazing experience. Everyone that served us were lovely and informative. Ask the main host man where his accent came from for some fun ahah, they’re super friendly and don’t take things too seriously (in a good way . A shame I didn’t get any photos, but the food came out so fast and I just wanted to dig in straight away. I had the smoked short rib taco which was amazing, two soft shell double layered tacos with lots of meat in them, super flavourful and filling for just two tacos. A couple bits of meat were a bit fatty so I just picked that out but algood. Then had the deep fried apple pie, the shape reminded me of a homemade version of the Maccas apple pie but 100 times better, puffy pastry and very flavourful apple, every bite bursts with juicy ness a tad oily so if you’re not into very deep fried things it may not be for you, however I still felt good afterwards it didn’t make me feel like other deep fried food makes me feel which was great. Paired with some nice vanilla icecream lovely creamy texture and a chocolate shard. Wasn’t too sweet either which was a bonus.<br/ Some of the other food included the Bro burger which they enjoyed it came with fries which for $15 I think is a great price and the fries were one of the best I’ve had ever! Super fat fries but the inside was so unbelievably soft like they were roasted!?! They weren’t too deep fried looking or tasting either so it didn’t make the burger overpowering. Then the sticky date pudding which was a special instead of the baked Camembert they didn’t have. Really big serving possibly a little too big, was described to come with poached pear and vanilla icecream but was missing both, we got the vanilla icecream in the end though. Never the less it was super yum with bits of thick caramel, came with a sauce to pour over but that made it a bit too sweet for my liking. This is what pulled my score from a 5 to a four I would have like to give 4.5 though. All around would definitely come again possibly for brunch or to bring some others to experience it. Lots of tables and not too loud and giant jenga to play! Super impressed being a new restaurant they have done so well! I can tell they are new not being right on the game but it was busy and they still impressed us more than any older restaurant we’ve been too, I think the authenticity is relatable and nice environment to be in not being a wall between staff and guests as much. So yea long review but I hope it helps anyone having a hard time deciding. I wish well for this place for many years to come : <br/ <br/ P.S. don’t mind my grammar the app wouldn’t let me see my text when trying to edit it ahah.

Family dinner today. Good food, excellent service, environment is neat. I definitely will come back . So glad to see kumue having another good place to eat!!!!!

Where do you start, I would highly recommend coming here. The staff were absolutely amazing, they were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was presented beautifully and absolutely delicious. One of the best restaurants I have been too. I will be definitely dining here again soon. Great job The Woodsman.
