Just been to see a friend and he took me to this lovely pub. It had a good vibe and friendly staff with a view of the field. Food was good even if pricey. I would say that the dessert which was tiramisu was too heavy cream, it should be lighter and with more soft biscuits inside.

Tried twice in the last 6weeks, both times had the pie of the day, the steak and ale being particularly good, not quite so keen on the chicken and bacon though. Excellent triple cooked chips and the beer (wherry) and good service.

Food was exceptional. Our 3 starters were olives, cauliflower fritters and pork& peppercorn terrine - all delicious. Then 2 of us had burgers which were excellent and 2 of us had the pie of the day, which was chicken, bacon & tarragon - a beautiful individual pie with perfect pastry. Desserts were wonderful too, even though we didn't really have room. It didn't matter hugely, but the service was very slow, particularly at the start when we made the mistake of asking for 2 minutes to think about what drinks we wanted when we sat down and then waited 20 for anyone to return. Would definitely return for the food though.

This is a local eatery riding on the coattails of its previous Michelin Guide inclusion. The tired repetitive menu is only equalled by the horrendous attitude of the owner. Despite spending the best part of £200 between 3 of us on starters, mains and wine - the owner took umberidge and decided to lay out her expectations for guests 25years the junior to herself in full earshot of the other diners. Apparently telling stories and enjoying company is inappropriate in such a high-brow public house. Had such high hopes after a visit with 6 guests 6months previously - but even after offering an olive branch to hear the landlady's point of view we were told "it's my opinion, it's my resteraunt" My opinion is - You can keep your overpriced bad attitude. (Your soda bread does stack up - but as Iriahman I can make that with my eyes closed on a Sun afternoon for a lot less grief!

Best place for a roast in Biggleswade area. I had the roast beef. It came pink and tender with all the trimmings on the side. My girlfriend had pork loin which was juicy and came with lovely crackling. I've also been in the summer before for drinks only where I enjoyed beautiful Bedfordshire countryside views from their beer garden with a cold pint of German lager in hand 👌🏼

As you'll see from my review history, I very very rarely post a bad review except in exceptional circumstances. This was one of these. I was expecting a lovely three course meal in a cosy pub out of London, based on the reviews. We were looking for a bit of a treat, as I was catching up with an old colleague (of a charity we both worked for) and her partner (CEO of a Mental Health charity). However I was severely dissappinted and appalled at how they treated us. The barman was gracious on arrival but the waitress who served us (couldn't have been much over 16) was absolutely clueless and seemed to not care about her job or the customers under her service. She was clueless about the menu when queried and kept having to nip off to the kitchen to ask, whilst giving us strange looks for having questions about the food/ breads/ menu. We felt judged, immediatly. When the food finally arrived we had ordered a sharing Camembert. The camembert was delicious but the bread it came with was burnt, unevenly sliced and looked, quite simply, like it was from the bottom of the barrel. Why the chef thought that exceptable to serve I have no idea. Not a good start. Next I had a vegetarian main (curry with cauliflower rice), from a very limited veggie menu. Quite frankly, it was bland. I make much better at home. When chased, the service was rude and the landlady/ manager was abrupt with us for having some issues, despite us being warm and kind to her - always giving the pub the benefit of the doubt. I was not even offered a dessert menu. Finally, the ambience was soul sucking. It was quiet and joyless, like eating in an old folks home. In fact some people near us got told to quieten down, despite it being early on a Saturday evening. Just such a shame that the staff and food don't live up to the hype. Genuinely would not recommend this place to anyone. Not worth your time, energy.

I went in July and was immediately disappointed to see that the menu hasn't changed since last winter. It's a small menu anyway so not much variety to be had if you go more than once. The landlady (I assume) is also very rude and clearly favours some customers over others for no clear reason. Service was lacking. We asked for sauces with our mains which never arrived and we weren't offered a desert menu. Not worth the price, we won't be returning.

The decor is nice, the food was tasty, well presented, nice enough. Maybe a bit pricey. But unbelievably limited options for GF. Especially in 2023! We had told the pub on booking one of our number was GF - so it was not a surprise/unexpected drop in. They didn't seem to care. Particularly as the menu a) has a huge "bread" bias...brioche here, toast there, burger buns and soda bread elsewhere and b) is not easily available online. When there we asked what was suitable for a GF diet...there was such a limited choice unless you wanted mussels/baked Camembert/pate/soup with nothing to have with it. Surely in this day and age it is not beyond the wit of man/restaurant to have a GF bread available? Especially is 80% of your dishes contain bread! When asked, the response was rude and defensive. "We bake our own bread so don't have any alternatives". Service both before and after that point was OK...but no warmth or welcome felt. And I felt appalled on my GF friend's behalf. I am not sure I would bother returning, despite the reasonably tasty food.

Another fantastic Mother's day meal, great service & (in my opinion) reasonably priced for 3 courses. My only issue would be that I don't normally eat 3 courses, 2 is generally enough for me so it would be nice to be able to have a 2 course option but if I have to eat more than usual, I can't think of a better place to do it!

I don't want to say too much about it for fear it will get so busy that I will never again be able to get a table. If you are in the area and looking for a fantastic place to eat and drink and in a wonderful setting then you will be hard pushed to find a better choice!..and I didn't even mention the stunning garden!..if you have not paid a visit, do yourself a favour and book a table, you wil not be disappointed!

Our first Sunday Lunch but not our first meal here but what a really nice surprise to have a ‘proper’ roast dinner served by lovely friendly staff and landlady. Plenty of meat and was given the choice to have one or both choices on our plate. Crispy roast potatoes, fresh veg (not out of the freezer like so many others offer) and lashings of gravy. We even got offered seconds on the veg and stuffing balls! We ate at 2pm and there wasn’t many others eating although there may have been earlier diners but the atmosphere was still very friendly and inviting. This won’t be our last Sunday roast and I hope this review will help make others choose this little gem of a proper pub offering good quality and quantity fayre.
