Woodside and surrounding area, locate the restaurant called The Village Pub

In its picturesque home of Woodside, The Village Pub leads two distinct lives. On the one hand, it is a comfortable pub that flaunts traditional trappings like coffered ceilings with dark wood beams, a roaring fireplace, and low lighting. At the same time, it is a place for fine dining amid elegant table settings, a suited waitstaff, and plush velvet banquettes. Expect this pub to be fully packed with an affluent clientele of locals, couples, groups, and a sophisticated, casual-chic bar crowd. At the bar, peruse the pub menu of charcuterie, cheese, burgers, and refined small plates like a perfectly rich pork pâté, balanced with tangy port-soaked cherries and the traditional accompaniments of cornichons and a bit of frisée salad. On the full dining room menu, find a delightful combination of earthiness and richness in the tender abalone over a creamy pillow of cauliflower mousseline, topped with a soft-poached egg and fluffy truffle foam. Other highlights include the puff pastry almost overflowing with crispy sweetbreads, root vegetables, porcini mushrooms, and rich Madeira-veal jus. Desserts may show a refined take on classics, such as a creamy white chocolate-and-banana cream tart.
