John O'Gaunt Inn in Central Bedfordshire

Service a little disappointing as not easy to grab attention of staff. Very friendly, professional and polite though

Food was delicious and came out quickly. Great atmosphere and waiter was so nice.

A lovely out of the way treat. Delightful service. Gorgeous food. Very happy, recommended, and we will return.

Cannot fault the food, perfect roast pork Sunday lunch and amazing desserts. Very friendly staff and classy but comfortable surroundings, great experience

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.

Very friendly staff , clean well decorated pub Steak pie nice with chunky chips gravy a bit to rich/salty for me Two real ales on bar

It's run by lovely friendly people. The decor is nice. They have a good selection of wines and beers. The food is very good. I had the roast beef this time and the beef was cooked to perfection.

Great place with really good food

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.

Beautiful views from the garden and fantastic food, would highly recommend

Great bar and dinning fantastic garden.well worth a visit or make it your local.

Nice food and service, poor selection of proper beers, biased towards “euro fizz”. Get some decent beers in and you’ll be a 5 star for sure.

Fantastic pub with great food and service. They were obviously busier than normal but the service was still great. A slight wait for food but this was fully explained.

No problems with the food and service. Parking is a problem especially as my wife is disabled. She had a long walk on the road as the pavement was blocked by cars.

Always delicious food and a warm welcome.

Wonderful meal as always! The tempura prawns, sirloin steak and apple tart all fantastic! Shout out to Jane for looking after my folks so kindly over the years xx

Fresh and delicious food. Loved the pie!!! Thank you for letting us have lunch just a min after your kitchen had closed. We will be back.

This was a delightful find with some tasty food. Staff and service was exceptional.

Absolutely thrilled to have found this wonderful restaurant, it is absolutely the best meal I have had in years. My husband and I had lunch on a Saturday to celebrate a birthday and we intend to come back as often as we can manage! The service is relaxed, friendly, efficient and professional. The food is exquisite.

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.

Beautiful pub. Cosy atmosphere, REALLY good food and they serve Bitburger. What more do you need? Highly recommend.

Love this pub, great atmosphere, especially in bar area, very tastefully decorated, great food, highly recommended

A lovely Roast Dinner and the best Bread and Butter Pudding I've ever had!! Would love to return.

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!

We've really enjoyed each visit over the last year or so. Delicious food and great service.

Great service fantastic food, and nice choice of real ale. Has a snug bar if you or not eating in the restaurant side. Great place. Particularly good for office outings or taking clients to lunch.

As always very good, top food. Lovely and friendly staff

Do l have to tell you ! I want to keep to myself...

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.

The pub serves better food than some restaurants you have to book but it is so worth it very helpful staff and the decor is superb

really nice place with fantastic food

Location/decor, staff and food (especially the lamb) were all perfect. Thanks everyone, looking forward to returning.

Ignore Kimberly Ellis and Amba Swain. A great pub, great staff and great food. We've been going here since Jane and Jago took it over as well as when they run the Hare and Hounds. You won't be disappointed 100% recommended

Delicious food served quickly in a great atmosphere

Lovely staff, modern decor & great food locally sourced.

Second time here, had the sirloin steak, it was fantastic, just melted in your mouth. Staff were very friendly and efficient, atmosphere great.

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.

Lovely pub .shame the beef I had was too rare for me so only ate round the edges. Husbands steak was very fatty. Pud was nice but they didn't have any alternative milk eg soya or oat so could not have coffee.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Lovely country village pub, lovely interior and large garden overlooking the countryside. Restaurant is really nice, great menu choices and drinks. Friendly welcoming staff Throughly recommend

Top pub/restaurant enjoyed the visit

Beautiful food , lovely atmosphere.. Great service 👏

Visited yesterday with friends. I had the chicken liver parfait for starter which was simply divine and for the main I had the sea bass which was beautifully cooked and accompanied with grilled vegetables.

We went here for an evening meal. The staff were really friendly and service was great. The only downside was we felt the starters were over priced. Three bits of asparagus and an egg £11. It was nice though.

Very friendly and attentive service, clean and smart restaurant with tasty food, slightly higher priced but locally sourced meat

From entering the nicely decor restaurant to leaving the whole experience was tops. Food staff were excellent faultless. Thanks.

Good pub we stopped on a bike ride for coffee. The food looked good too.

Nice atmosphere inside, food OK but service not quite up to par in timing as we arrived in a group of 12 and the staff forgot my order for lunch and by the time it arrived the rest of the group had finished their meal!! Food quite expensive.

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!

Excellent pub great decor brilliant staff

Food and service as excellent as ever

The pie!! What more can I say. The menu isn’t extensive but what it has is quality. Service is quick and the staff are friendly and attentive. My only feedback would be a bigger coffee machine. As one cup at a time seems counterintuitive when you have a larger table!

Had an amazing dinner thanks to all who work here.

Great ambience, friendly, professional staff and terrific food. We will definitely return

Once again everything was superb Thanks to all the staff

A nice walk across the fields from us, pretty pub with good food and beer which has benefitted from new mgmt team from last time we visited.

This is one of the best pubs in the area. We are regulars here and you couldn't ask for a more welcoming pub. The food is outstanding, They have an excellent selection of ales and beer and the staff are superb. 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!

Went for lunch on a Bank Holiday Monday and it was fantastic! Highly recommend and we will certainly be returning.

Lovely atmosphere, Great food and service.

Excellent pub, good ales, great food, friendly staff, dog friendly too!

Amazing food! We sat in the garden as it was warm and the restaurant was fully booked. Great menu with a separate fish menu. The fish pie waa delish!

We love this pub, a Sunday walk across the fields from Potton. All the staff give the fondest and best of welcomes. I have recently noticed they call themselves JOG, we have lovingly mentioned a JOG to the JOG for ages.

Great pint of Woodforde's Wherry beer, which is the regular solitary cask beer on offer. Good food in the restaurant half of the pub and table booking is probably recommended.

Love this country pub with a great selection of ales, beers and ciders

Landlord (I assume) very rude and unwelcoming, very arrogant. Ridiculously high priced for what our party thought was very bland food. Wouldn’t go back or recommend

Very nice place and location Great hospitality, food, drink and service. Reasonably priced

Amazing food, picturesque location and the most beautiful staff. Such a pleasure

This is a beautiful country pub and the food is amazing. The steak melted in your mouth and I can honestly say it was the best I've ever had. Staff are lovely and friendly and very welcoming

Great place, the food is awesome!

Very nice, well-run establishment and the food is delicious. Very good experience for a family meal!

Great garden, lovely food, great Sunday Roasts.

Nice country pub with garden. High quality restaurant with changing menu. Good beers and local cider.

Excellent evening with friends in a pleasant atmosphere, service and food to usual high standards with a good range of choices for starters, mains and desserts. Would recommend for a meal for two or for that special occasion with family and friends.

Really enjoyed dining at John O’Gaunt. Amazing service and hospitality…and the food is on another level.

Absolutely lovely. Great staff and fab food. Always good.

Stopped by for a Sunday roast and it was excellent. We had the beef and chicken roasts and both were delicious. The bread and butter pudding for after was very creamy. The price was also reasonable for such high quality food.

Excellent food and great service

Really lovely restaurant, food was perfect, nice atmosphere and great staff would definitely recommend.

Great food friendly staff. One of my top places to eat.

Fantastic food, excellent service and friendly staff. Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic meal, welcoming staff, excellent service food and wonderful value. Highly recommended

Lovely food, reasonably priced, nicely presented.

Always welcoming, great food and service. Amazing bar with a gorgious fire and places to eat. The resturant is worth a visit too!!

Exceptional food and very well run with great friendly staff

Great food and lovely service. The website could do with a little modernising around table booking as we had to email instead of booking online but our email was responded to quickly and politely.

The food is well fantastic service the same would recommend it 100%

Great Sunday lunch. We'll cooked and good service

Lovely food sitting in the sunny garden last weekend. Friendly staff and nice selection of beer and non alcoholic drinks. Definable visit again soon.

We had an amazing 3 course lunch. High quality food with very friendly service. Will definitely go again.

Lovely as always, food was excellent

Always great food, great drink and amazing staff. Can't fault. Highly recommended.

Lovely food Lovely staff would definitely recommend 👌

Great food, excellent beer, superb service

Superb venue, welcoming hosts and wonderful food

Gourmet food from Michelin star restaurant. Smallish portions and higher prices but must admit it was delicious.

Top gastro pub - their bbq meat was amazing, and their selection of fish dishes quite something as well. One of the best places in the area. Not my first visit and I'll be going back.

Really good and tasty food served by friendly staff. Definitely recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed. We've been going for years.

We have been going here for a few years now and there is always a good cozy atmosphere and amazing food. Would definitely recommend 👌
