Café Rouge - Center Parcs Woburn Forest in Central Bedfordshire

En vacance from Lichfield❤️❤️ we are almost oldest patrons on Centre Parcs our most senior is 85 this year. Food has been exceptional all week and the Cafe Rouge did not disappoint. Don't miss out great beers wines and food is cooked perfectly. Our waitress was called Bella and looked after us and our dog Well done. The Craggs

Bella was an absolute star. We was a last minute call for breakfast and after running and entering the cafe at 11.29 we was met by Bella promptly and with her alertness and guest understanding, we asked if we was late for breakfast she quickly took our order and seated us quickly to then taste some Amazing french toast which we was craving all week. Bella was a star and was really attentive to our needs.

Excellent food, brilliant atmosphere, but the spectacular service is what convinced me to leave a review, which I hardly ever do! Thank you Bella and Amelia!

We had a lovely lunch, which was great value (lunch special) and served by friendly staff.

It's not often a chain lives down to your expectations but sadly this was a terrible experience. Mussels shockingly overcooked and then we waited well over an hour for our main courses. Eventually we just got the bill and left without taking the kids' desserts. I could hear a lot of other tables having the same experience. Service gets a star back as the waitress was very apologetic and gave us a discount. Still, won't go back.

outstanding food for a very low price compared to the other restraunts. absolutely amazing

food was amazing, super kind staff

Had the luxury to go here for my birthday, was not disapointed, great food and lovely service and staff. Bella and Daniele were brilliant, we could clearly see they were up against it with the place being very busy.We went to all of the Center Parcs Woburn restaurants and to be quite honest, they were not good enough. However, Cafe Rouge was exceptional.

We were really disappointed with our experience at Café Rouge in Centre Parcs Woburn, especially as it was our last morning and we hoped for a relaxed lunch before leaving. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow and the overall attitude of the staff left a lot to be desired. Our group was a little larger, but we were happy to split up and sit at separate tables. Despite this, the manager was unhelpful and condescending—not even attempting to be polite about refusing us. One of the servers was similarly unwelcoming, which made the experience even more frustrating. Two people in our group did end up eating there, but even that didn’t go smoothly. They had to repeatedly ask for tables to be cleaned, and one of the poached eggs had shell in it. The food was bland, lacked flavour, and overall did not justify the wait or the poor service. This branch seriously needs to do better—it represents the Café Rouge brand, but it’s letting down the locations where the staff are actually polite and the food is genuinely good. As far as we're concerned, the food and service here deserve a 0-star rating—but unfortunately, Google doesn't allow that.

My family and I came for my birthday and had a wonderful evening, food, staff, service and atmosphere was fantastic. Everyone went out of their way for us and couldn’t recommend more especially if you’re celebrating!

Delicious food and amazing atmosphere.Special thank you to Kirsten who was spectacular and incredibly welcoming!!!

Delicious food and wonderful service! Highly recommend if you’re staying in Woburn!!!

We had a fantastic meal, service was brilliant. Thank you team cafe rouge!

Really great meal, Kirsten was amazing

So so Friendly staff ! They even gave us games to play while server played with our kid ! Love the atmosphere! Second time here and always great !

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Café Rouge centre Parcs recently, and I can confidently say it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with the perfect blend of classic French charm and modern comfort. What truly made our visit exceptional, though, was the incredible service from Joe and Carl. Both were not only professional and attentive but also genuinely friendly, making us feel welcome and valued throughout our time there. Both Joe’s and Carl attention to detail and menu knowledge were impressive — they both made fantastic recommendations that we absolutely loved. brought a great energy to the table, ensuring everything was just right with an effortless grace and a great sense of humour. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of delicious food, a cozy ambiance, and service that goes above and beyond. Joe and Carl are true assets to Café Rouge centre Parcs for their top-tier hospitality.

Aliyah was amazing !!, So lovely to me and my friend. Food was also amazing 💖

Amazing restaurant highly recommend amazing

Great place with incredible staff... We loved the food!

We had breakfast here twice. Very limited menu and the food was bland. Defo expected more options across the park but this was the only one that really offered a normal breakfast. Disappointing.

Carl was wonderful, very attentive, polite, friendly & made us feel very special. Couldn't have had a better service!!! Food was lovely too. Very enjoyable evening!

Really good place we have enjoyed drinks in the Sunshine during our stay and decided to eat here on our last day. Minute steak and the truffle burger were delicious. Our server Bella was so helpful and lovely. Would highly recommend Thank you

The food (French onion soup) was 8/10. Should have had way more mozzarella cheese & bread. The waitress (Bella) was exceptionally polite & friendly, so A+ for Bella’s service.

We had a fantastic experience at Café Rouge during our stay at Center Parcs Woburn! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect.The food was absolutely delicious;especially the beef bourguignon and the cheesecake, which were both spot-on. It’s a lovely spot whether you’re grabbing breakfast, enjoying a relaxed lunch, or treating yourself to a special dinner.Highly recommend and would definitely come back on our next visit

Wonderful restaurant superb service

I came in with my family and the staff were very attentive and had amazing service. Food was great I recommend the sirloin steak!

Excellent food will definitely be coming back here again when im next at woburn center parcs

Came in to have breakfast this morning and was served by 3 very helpful waitresses named Danielle who brought me my order which was a full English breakfast, Donna who got my drink of water and Amelia who got me a latte. Very lovely atmosphere and very lovely staff with excellent quality food with minimal wait times and made me feel at home 😊

Went here for dinner whilst having a spa visit at Woburn. Excellent service by Bella and Carlos, good food and attention to detail. Way better than lunch at the spa's cafe vitalle!!!!

Amazing food and great service I recommend! Breakfast was fantastic and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive! Will definitely be coming back!

Lovely atmosphere and great service, highly recommended!!

The desert took way too long for it to come.

Food was good, as always. Cafe rouge offer a varied menu, with good options. Plates are brought out on a automated trolley host, exciting for the kids. It's a large restaurant, with only 5 tables dining, it was very quiet.

There were 8 of us who came for breakfast and unfortunately we asked for lemon for the soup, but they brought me lemon peel. And one of our orders which was eggs was brought to us after the breakfast was over. I really do not recommend this restaurant to customers because of the higher cost than the quality provided.

Awful food. Supposed scrambled egg served on Sourdough bread was actually served with awful supermarket sliced white bread. Priced at over £10 this is basically one big rip off. Not recommended.

No sourdough bread only advised after ordering by waitress. When food arrived expected at least a decent bread substitute ended up with cheapest of cheap white scliced bread. Added Cumberland sausage to scrambled egg an awful sausage didn't even resemble a decent ordinary sausage!! CANCELLED our evening booking. If breakfast so dire wasn't going to risk evening meal. Taking our custom elsewhere

I've always been impressed when I've been to Café Rouge. Some very good French dishes. I highly recommend the French onion soup. The pinot noir is some of the best I've had. The service was very good. No complaints highly recommend.

Brilliant service, friendly faces Kirsten the manager was especially helpful when deciding on my food as I wasn’t too sure, 11/10 would recommend to absolutely anyone

went for our last dinner of the holiday, food was incredible and service even better. was seated quickly by cirsten who i assume was the manager and then served by maisie who was attentive but not too in your face. the garlic breads are definitely big enough to share so don’t get one each(we made that mistake) however they are very nice the poluet breton was perfect and so was my other half’s beef bourgionion. Thankyou maisie and the rest of cafe rouge

The food here is lovely with lots of options. Staff are also really friendly and attentive!

Had a great morning at cafe rouge the french toast was delicious food come quick and brilliant service 😀

Pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of the food, service was great! Something for everyone on the menu. Our server Halle was sweet, attentive and not overbearing.

Don’t believe the bad reviews ! I had low expectations because of the Google rating but I was very much pleasantly surprised ! Halle took amazing care of us and was attentive and welcoming. Yummy food, something for everyone !

Amazing restaurant! Great service and delicious food!! 10/10!!!

Hmmm I think that Cafe Rouge are very lucky their staff are so lovely because the food was a lottery. Our starters were ok. Tarte was lovely. The calamari was ok but over floured. The minute steak was a gristle and fat occasion which was unpleasant. The waitress was very attentive and comp’d us a chocolate fondant which turned out to be massively overcooked. Shame.

My family went today for a nice meal at Café Rouge and Macey made us feel like home, great service and was a delightful experience. Will recommend going. We will surely be back.

Had some great food and amazing service here when visiting with my family! Would highly recommend, thank you

Lovely breakfast. Kevin was amazing and helped us choose the best alternative to accommodate our allergies.

Great service and great staff. A really friendly place!

Average food experience! Extremely slow service due to being busy and a bit crowded! Got carton Orange juice instead of a fresh one (which was stated on the menu). Steak was average at the best!

Well it’s just not good. I’m sorry but it’s really poor. Seemed no effort was put into any of it. Maybe it was a one off, I’m sorry if so. But it was poor from start to finish. -freezing cold coffee -cold soup (gravy powder, a few onions, shop croutons and grated cheese) - overpriced -slow service, super slow, with lots of the team just standing about or having a dinner break. Hefty bill. Why should they get away with it when small businesses can’t?

Some lovely breakfasts here this visit. Kevin and his team looked after us well.

Came here for lunch with friends really great service and food. Staff went above and beyond with anything we needed and made it a really great experience for all! Really recommend!

fantastic service , great tasting food. A great end to our holiday.

An amazing experience at cafe rouge, from start to finish it was lovely. Kirsten was extremely helpful and accommodating made the experience 10/10.

Wonderful restaurant, fantastic atmosphere, tasty food!

The best French restaurant around! Lovely environment and great food

The camabert burger was spot on and the chocolate fondant was melt in the middle gooeyness! Will come back, i recommend

What an absolutely wonderful evening for our table of 13 tonight! We would like to say a special ‘Thankyou’ to our table staff headed by Simone (I’m sorry l can’t remember the other names but you were all so lovely which really did make our meal just perfect!! Thank to the staff behind the scenes as well and again.. Thank you Simone 😍😍😍 100% above and beyond!!

Good food but not really what I like. But good brownie for dessert.

Not that many options here and yet this one is pretty bad overall. Service is slow, food is tasteless and the prices are crazy.

Thank you to all the staff and Kevin the manager for a great family meal, attentive service and lovely atmodphere.

excellent service, very nicely decorated restaurant. i asked for pineapple juice but it wasn’t on the menu but i got it which was nice 👍

Food was decent, service was great, but is quite expensive and no cheap options. If you are trying to eat out at centre parcs on a budget it’s hard and this is not the option.

The food and service was all great. It was a bit of shame we were surrounded for the entire time by dirty tables. Pity.

Went for a lunch, sat outside to enjoy the British weather as well. Food was not amazing but good. Had soup, garlic bread, beef, salad and mac and cheese. The French onion soup was not favourite I must say. Mac and cheese was good but it think it would be better without the bread crumbs on top, personal taste. Service was quite attentive.

Absolutely fantastic staff. The food was wonderful.

Service and food was amazing at cafe rouge. I had the beef bourguignon and it was amazing, full of flavour proper comfort food. Will definitely be going back just for that

Very blant, boring and slightly overpriced

Absolutely amazing food! Came here for an 30th wedding anniversary and it was just the perfect place! Excellent service from Vyte and Kevin!! Had such a lovely experience again at cafe rouge ❤️

Went here on our last night at center parcs and ended up with food poisoning 2 hours after eating here, this was the only meal I had different from the rest of our party throughout our stay so it must have been the food here, it's made me incredibly ill!

Service soooo bad that is amazing that people are still sitting in. We waitied more than 1h for food. Steak was over done. Instead of so 1.5h lunch it took 3h

Had small issue but Kirsten was brilliant Very professional Excellent service Kirsten

Absolutely awful, we went for lunch at 1230. Ordered a starter and a main. We finally got our main meal at 2.30. It somehow took 30 mins to cobble together 3 balls of ice cream for the kids pudding. The food was dry and salty. Definitely try one of then other restaurants in the parc. Also some items on the menu missing ingredients, such as no bacon, and no crispy onions.

Smallest, driest, most miserable French toast I've ever had, not great when you can easily make it better yourself, why eat out. Others at our table were denied changing what they wanted on the English breakfast. Coffee tastes like water, all in all pretty shocking...

Lovely hot fresh veggie breakfast! Service was super friendly. Nice relaxing environment to enjoy a coffee in

Always love visiting this restaurant while we are on holiday! The servers are always really friendly and the food is great! Thanks to Aliyah and Kevin for our great service today!

Poor service. Drinks left on bar without anyone picking up resulting in us having to ask (twice). Some food turned up cold, some baking hot/burnt. General standard of food was average for the prices charged.

Lovely friendly staff and great food too

Came for afternoon tea at 3pm. Very quiet which was fine. Waitress was quick to take our order. Unfortunately after being asked for dietary requirements (I'm pregnant) they had no decaf tea available and it took a while for the waitress to say they had decaf coffee. The afternoon tea was a bit rubbish. The toasties that come out instead of sandwiches are good and probably the best bit. . The cake selection was just different sponges (one almond one chocolate and one with candied fruit peel in) and really disappointing for an afternoon tea. You get one scone each. They were a bit burnt but taste OK. You get plenty of cream but hardly any jam. We were not offered any other drinks while eating and the plates were not cleared away even after we had paid.

Best restaurant in center Parcs by far now. The other seem to have all gone massively downhill. Rouge has all the favourites, good quality and good service. Only issue is everyone else has worked out this in best place to east so it is very busy.

Staffs were friendly and smiley. Food comes relatively quickly considering it’s the busy season. Fries/ sweet potatoes were crunchy, steaks were ok, burger was a bit small, approx. £35-40 pp.

Probably the best restaurant at Center Parc Woburn but it's a pretty low bar. Service and staff good.

Lovely service from Mia! She was friendly and helpful . Great 👍 Thank you

Amazing restaurant. Food was amazing, the service was good and the atmosphere was great. As someone who’s visited Paris a few times it really reminded me of Paris. I recommend the Camembert and Truffle burger, it was amazing.

Don’t normally write reviews but we walked in at 11am and told us after we sat down that they had no eggs when we went for breakfast/brunch and over half the menu items have eggs so didn’t leave alot of choice. Some people up and left because of this. Could they not just go and get some more eggs from the shop? Our food came out and extra bacon was forgot about and had to remind them, one of our meals did not come out and had to ask. The black pudding was burnt and crunchy like burnt toast. You could not excuse this as there was only 5 tables of people there so it’s not like it was super busy. Would not recommend.

A lovely breakfast had by my wife and I.

Food was excellent, service was top notch, attentive, polite, tolerant, respectful. This was consistent across 3 separate visits at different times of day.

Vyte is a great waiter, who served us professionally. Thank you

The staff were not good at this place which was a shame cause all the other restaurants we had been to were amazing

Disappointing faux French food. Every French restaurant I have ever visited puts complimentary bread on the table. Cafe Rouge does not. I ordered French Onion soup, followed by confit duck with sauté potatoes and spinach. The onion soup was not bad but lacked the rich melted cheese you get on the genuine article. The duck itself was OK but the sauté potatoes were boiled not sautéd . The helping of spinach provided was extremely small. About enough to fill a teaspoon. The Eleve wine was quite decent. I chose the food options most likely to be found in a genuine French restaurant. Many of the options are actually burgers and pies etc that you will find in a thousand pubs across the country. Of course if you are a Center Parcs resident then you are a captive customer. Out in the High Streets I would avoid Cafe Rouge if you are looking for a French food experience. This is a chain run by accountants providing a poor facsimile of a great gastronomic tradition.

Went in for breakfast, had really nice English breakfast, all very well cooked. Staff were great. And prices as expected. Well recommended.

A lovely « Cafe Rouge » well decorated with tasty meals (not quiet the level of the average French restaurant but this is true of all Cafe Rouge tbh). The service is really friendly and efficient. We had a good time there and really enjoyed it as part of our Centerparcs holiday.

Oh my Cafe Rouge, how you have gone downhill.... Up until now this has been a bit of an annual ritual for my family with great food and a nice atmosphere. For a start the restaurant is mostly empty. Ants were marching along the table during the meal. The food was "meh" and somewhat overcooked. They had no draught beer and ran out of bottled beer (all they could offer beer-wise was gluten free). Just no, I do not recommend this at all anymore - avoid at all costs.

Yummy food. Chicken options are halal. The service was super slow.

We served by a very nice gentleman, Kevin was very good and interacted with my children too!

First time using Cafe Rouge and we were really impressed. Alice was attentive helpful and kept popping by to make sure everything was going well with our evening. Food was to a very high standard for a chain restaurant and our steaks were both cooked as requested medium rare. They even have a little play corner which kept our toddler amused while waiting for our food which was also served in a timely manner. Out of all the restaurants in Woburn Centre Parcs this is the best tried and tested. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Mya was excellent and made us feel welcome. Shame she will be leaving at the end of this season.

Although very nice, overall its very ry expensive for what you get.

I really don't like leaving negative reviews and I don't believe in being negative just to have a rant but I'm hoping this will move things to improve customer service and happier staff. I had the burger and my wife had the steak. The fries were thinner than wafer and the burger no bigger than a mcdonalds quarter pounder. £15.95 for that. Then my wife had the steak for a similar price and it was tiny with absolutely no salad to go with it. Had to pay an extra £2 for any sauce though. Staff seemed very stretched as they seemed to completely forget about us once the food was served. Don't get me wrong if it was in a cheap place I wouldn't have complained but this is Good money we're talking and we've had better customer service at a fast food restaurant. One star for the fact that the beef in the tiny burger was decent quality. We've never asked for the optional service charge to be taken off until coming here. Just woeful. Management - please do better. Thanks
