The best restaurants serving British food in Central Bedfordshire East of England

You won’t find a better bang for your buck in the area .. decent food always and huge portions.. always a safe takeaway option

A heavenly little pub that is beautiful inside and out. Established in 1433... amazing!!!! Fabulously friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. Definitely returning!!

This is a real hidden gem and well worth the trip! We have dined at this pub a few times now and you really can’t beat it! The food is absolutely excellent - both in terms of quality and presentation. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff very friendly. We will definitely be returning in the very near future. Highly recommended!

Efficient and friendly service. Tasty and clean tasting food. Reasonably priced. Great vegetarian. options! Fabulous quintessentially English tea room. Very good job for table of 8. Would definitely go again.

We had our Wedding at Priory House September 2023. It was an amazing day. We had started the planning with the wedding coordinator back in June 2023. Jackie and her team were amazing. Our ceremony took place in the Jacobean room which was perfectly decorated to match our colour theme. While we enjoyed taking photos out in the Priory gardens they turned this lovely little room into a flawless cosy setting to have our afternoon tea. The food was delicious, prepared and served with the utmost care, catering for the dietary needs of some of ours guests. We've given them Five stars, but they deserve a million.

We visited the centre and tea rooms on a whim on a random Sunday. Hoping to find a gift for my rail-enthusiast dad, we managed just that and so much more. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a lovely lady who took the time to show us around the building and gave us a tour of the ticket office. She was so very knowledgeable and really friendly, answering our questions and making sure we had a great experience. We stayed for a spot of lunch, which was lovely and great value for money. I managed to get one of the calendars made by one of the staff, which was an extra special present and great to hear the stories of the photos he'd taken which were in the calendar. We'd definitely recommend the centre and tea rooms to anybody looking to spend a couple of hours.

Sadly shut forever unless someone comes up with extortionate price Fullers want. Could be such a great destination pub with right chef

Took a friend for afternoon tea for her birthday, lovely little tea shop, excellent afternoon tea, would highly recommend

It started well with a good selection on the menu. When we came to order our breakfast sandwiches my friend asked how much it would be to add an egg to her bacon sandwich, at which point the waitress advised that the prices on the menu had increased so weren't correct & could only say they had gone up by about 50p. On asking for a sparkling water she advised that had also gone up by 20p maybe 30p, these increases were due to the cost of living increase. When we questioned why the menus hadn't been updated she advised there were new owners & it hadn't been done yet but that there was a sign on the wall inside the shop advising of the price increase, we were sat outside but to be honest anyone entering the shop wouldn't have seen it as it would have been behind them. She then brought out the A4 sign. She also tried to find an updated menu which she couldn't find. Firstly I am sure this must be illegal to advertise one price & charge another & secondly a hand written note could have been added to the menu or a copy of the price increase attached to the menu which everyone would have seen. Maybe the new owners should hold fire on the price increase until new menus are available as it may save their reputation. The breakfast sandwiches were very tasty, however the 'glass' that accompanied the sparkling water was in fact a jar with a thread for a screw top. Some might call it funky but not to everyone's taste. Needless to say it wasn't used. There are standards which have to be met & the clear advertising of correct pricing is one of them. We are all effected by the cost of living crisis & on occasions when we do our bit to support local businesses we might be watching the pennies too.

What a delightful hotel! Quiet, comfortable, quirky and above all the staff were without exception brilliant! We sat on the terrace for a pre dinner drink Looking at restful views and very busy rabbits on the hotel lawn! Dinner was delicious, fresh, tasty and well presented. The restaurant staff both at dinner and breakfast couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Our room was definitely “ quirky”, clean and spacious with lovely views over the lawns and fields. We had a peaceful night’s sleep and would recommend a visit to Flitwick Manor to anyone.

Had the loveliest roast dinner with the family this afternoon- was delicious 😊 and highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding for dessert too!

Lovely cafe for a catch-up with friends. We enjoyed lovely home cooked food and delicious cake, there really is something for everyone. We saw others enjoying the afternoon tea, which looked impressive. They catered really well to my requirements as a vegan, and we had brilliant friendly service from all members of staff.

We visited for a family party in the Pool Bar. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough. The food was really nice and most importantly the toilets were spotless. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Pefection. Venue = Stunning, team = brilliant, food = amazing, Value = outstanding. We visited back in October with a view to book our Christmas party in December. Mark and Jackie were more than accommodating with our questions and requests. fast forward to the evening in question and it couldnt have gone more perfect had we tried. the venue easily hosted 50 of us for reception drinks. move through to the gorgeous conservatory for the meal which I might add is michalin type food. the staff were attentive and polite, also adding a little fun to the evening. after dinner we enjoyed a disco in the second room, with ample room and despite what looks like a small bar, no one was waiting to be served. Mark, Jackie and team you made our evening super special. you have a perfect venue for Birthdays, christmas partys and weddings. we look forward to using your venue again.

Expensive and poor quality of the food. Cold food and unfriendly boss. Not recommended Don't waste your time and your money Go away
