Longs Inn Restaurant in Central Bedfordshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

After a long drive, passing through Woburn had us stopping for something to eat. Coming across this inn, we liked the feel about the place (it was like stepping back in time) and a quick look at the menu was enough to see just take a seat in the small restaurant. An old coaching inn, the place retains much of its original characteristics but serving food which the first customers would only dream about. A wide choice (see photos) which has something for everyone and at quite surprising prices (sirloin steak at under £20) had my wife and I deliberating over what to have. Settling for the steaks, we were delighted with the plates put in front of us. Lovely succulent steaks, cooked to perfection (1 x well done & 1 x medium well) with most adorable chips & grilled half tomato. Add a couple of drinks set off a brilliant meal. The service, not particularly speedy, was good and nice to have a waiter willing to have a chat with 'strangers'. Would certainly return again in the future to try some of the other menu items.

This quaint, rustic hotel was nice weekend stay, but i wouldn't stay again. Breakfast was ok, five pounds for two hash browns and scrambled eggs seemed steep, but whatever. It will do in a pinch.

A very friendly and helpful head barman who got us out of trouble with the internet and our phone connections if you visit Woburn you will understand !!!

Thanks to Tom, we spent a lovely evening with family being well looked after. Food being available would have been an added bonus but even so it we were made very welcome. Well worth a visit but bring along a packed lunch!

good staff and breakfast was good,nothing to much trouble.Room 2 was very tired texture peeling off the ceiling,shower too small to use with no hot water had to boil the kettle for a wash.Homemade ensuite door with no lock gaps all around.Whole ensuite very tired.The room was quite clean and warm.

Stayed here for one night recently and was very pleased with our choice. Warm friendly welcome from the off from Brogan and we really couldn't fault the service. Lovely beer, warm comfortable clean room, great breakfast. Parking and Wifi excellent too if that's important to you! The building is amazing and in a lovely area. All in all great value for money and would highly recommend. Will be back! Thanks!

Fantastic afternoon in a cozy pub. The young lady from Sheffield (apologies I didn't ask her name) was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, she went above and beyond for us and the others in the pub. She was multitasking like a boss and even lit the fire when we asked. She was friendly and professional, a complete asset to the place.

Stayed in Woburn for a single night due to a trip to Millbrook. Popped in for a pint or two, lovely welcome and great service from Brogan. Stayed for a bit of food and have to say the chilli was amazing. I thought I could make a decent one, but definitely got to up my game. Highly recommended.

A cosy eating area with superb friendly service. The menu is varied and caters for vegetarians and glucose intolerance.

Excellent reception, very helpful. Room and bathroom clean and very comfortable. Saturday night's supper was excellent, nice and hot and freshly cooked. The batter on the fish was lovely and light. Sunday breakfast excellent. We were given a tray of tea whilst we waited for our lunch guests to arrive. Lunch was really well cooked, again nice and hot and chef took note that two of our party are on Keto diets and arranged the meals accordingly. Woburn is a lovely village a visit to the old mortuary chapel`is recommended, a lovely, informative exhibition centre with helpful staff. a delightful village to explore with some fabulous houses.We will return.

Had a family lunch at Long Inn , food was lovely and they where so accommodating with children Thank you so much , we will be back

Had Sunday lunch here and it was so good we had our girls night dinner two weeks later Amazing food lovely staff so friendly Cute place would definitely recommend Great place to stop for drink and pud when dog walking

There were a number of issues with the food supplied for our party of 8. Only 1 was sufficiently bad to send back-the (small square of) belly pork with a roast, was topped by a a rubbery skin, as opposed to an expected crispy crackling, and the Yorkshire pudding had an inedible taste and soggy, stodgy texture. We were told it was Gluten free, but that wasn't something we had requested. It was changed with an apology, for a roast beef dinner, which was much more acceptable. Generally diners found carrots to be undercooked, but that could be personal taste. The sausage and mash came in a bowl, swimming in gravy- a separate jug of gravy would have been better. Burger was overcooked and a bit dry. On the plus side, my stroganoff with pasta had tasty, tender meat and was filling, despite looking a smaller portion. It was nice to have red cabbage with the roasts. The staff were pleasant, but not overbearing. Previous visits, some time ago, were much better.

We stayed at this lovely little hotel for the weekend and it was a very welcoming . The full English breakfast well presented clean and beautifully cooked ,there was also plenty of other choices and when ever we asked for more toast or tea/coffee it was never to much trouble. We decided to book in for Sunday lunch later that afternoon as we had been visiting our daughter and son in law . The staff are very helpful and the lunch was very nice .All in all a very pleasant stay this was our second time and will defiantly be staying again .

The new chef will be a credit to the establishment. 6 of us dined there and we were more than happy with our choice

Longs Inn has a ground floor that is called Bedford Street Kitchen.We stopped by there for some food and although the place was very quite, in fact empty, we were well pleased with the quality of the food that we bought.First, a fish finger sandwich, now think Captain Birdseye fish finger between two slices of bread, is that what I got ?, no 3 fillets of cod cut to something larger that fingers by the chef and dipped in batter and deep fried served as a sandwich with tartare sauce,crisps and a salad. My wife had a home made red pepper and I can't remember the rest soup, but she said it was delicious !

A beautiful Inn and that provided all of the comforts of home. The pub and restaurant downstairs is a hidden gem

We stayed one night here. There are areas where money needs to be spent but the hotel offered what we needed. Dinner was good pub standard chilli and fish and chips. The cooked breakfast was a good standard with decent bacon and sausages.

In a village of expensive restaurants our pub was lovely .Home cooked food. We were given lots of extra vegetables which we asked for

Two of us call in on a Sunday lunchtime. We used to eat here a lot but have not been for the last few years and it looks like it had changed hands. We parked in their car park so entered by the side entrance. We did stand there for a few moments as the staff were serving in the bar area but as there was no other people in the restaurant and were seated fairly quickly. Within a short while two other tables came in. We both opted the same starter and main. Our starter was bubble and squeak with a fried egg. How disappointing this course was! We expected mash potatoes mixed with green cabbage, fried it with nice toasted brown bits, with a fried egg on top. What we got was mashed potato mixed with white cabbage (so it was all white) and did not seem fried at all, so no delicious crispy bits. Very disappointing. Our main were also disappointed as the roast potatoes were blonde, the meat chewy and the whole meal was not very hot. I think that it will be a while before we come back.

Woburn has some wonderful places to eat but having walked the high street and had a look at what was available, this place drew us in. It's a very established and friendly pub where the locals are happy to strike up a conversation and seem genuinely friendly.I had their burger and my wife tried there Butternut Squash Thai curry, Both appeared to be homemade were tasty and looked amazing, a real effort had been given to making what was essentially pub food feel like an experience We will be back !!!!!

It was good to find somewhere where we could have a cup of tea at the end of the day, but sadly there was no Gluten Free cake on offer. Nevertheless, we were served with a smile and the tea was reasonably priced.

What a lovely cosy bar with wood burner warm and inviting. Friendly staff. Bucket of chips for a pound with your first pint. Had to be done. Definitely would return and well worth a visit.

Love it there both times we went in there during our 2 night visit. So friendly and welcoming. Had a meal the 2nd night which was really nice and great value for money. We will be staying there on our next visit. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Stayed here as going to a family gathering in Milton Keynes Room (no 5) comfortable if a bit on the small side. Had an evening meal which was very nice. The staff were polite and helpful. Would definitely stay here again

Stopped for a late lunch in Woburn. I had the scampi & my friend, the roast, both plates were left clean. My friend asked if there was a kids menu for her 1yr old & was told they'd make up a small plate of whatever she wanted for him so he had a mini roast for a good price. The barman / waiter was friendly & accommodating & made friends with the boy to the point we struggled to get him to leave!

Wow you have to try their pies, they really are something else, I never eat pies as not on top of my wish list but had a butternut squash one here and my friend had a steak pie and they were excellent, properly made pastry pies, not just in a dish with a pastry top. Really filling and great value for money

Ocho de nosotros habíamos reservado para cenar el sábado pasado. Llegamos, pedimos unas bebidas en el bar, y nos dijeron que debido a una llamada que la noche anterior, me gustaría salir de vino! No sólo de algunos vinos, todos los vinos! Hay un Tescos casi al lado por amor de Dios! Lo que había que hacer todo el día? Tal vez tienen informarnos, o abastecido! En nuestra sugerencia, el barman fue enviado a comprar un Tescos Selección de blancos y tintos. Estos fueron debidamente servido en la cena, aunque a un precio mucho menor de lo normal, y nos dieron una de ellas gratis. James, el camarero hizo un trabajo sterling para mantener felices. La comida era bastante promedio gastro-pub, el pollo frito fayre burger fue decepcionante (el pollo debe haber sido un espécimen pequeño), pero la cosa fue que sorprendente era el único diners allí toda la noche. En Woburn en una noche de sábado. Quizás todo el mundo sabía que algo no! Nos hemos puesto como una experiencia, pero no vamos a volver.

Booked late but perfectly located in the high st , nice comfy room and great breakfast , good friendly service and well priced

We stayed here for B&B; in the old section of the inn, the room was so quaint, sloping floors and low ceilings, the bed was so comfy and tea/coffee making facilities in room etc, really friendly staff and brekkie was superb, highly recommend

Yo estuve en Woburn en otro hotel por una noche en el 26 de octubre de 2016 con mi hijo de 8 años, y decidimos entrar al restaurante para cenar.

Very friendly welcoming staff. Perfect sleeping village for quiet evening away. Basic but nice surroundings. Room 9 is my favourite, on the top floor, bright and nice comfortable bed with a separate bathroom. Holiday feel on a summers evening. Easy to find right on the...

Visitamos Longs Inn para una familia de fiesta a la hora del almuerzo los domingos. Había una razonable selección de buena comida y el personal atento en personalización de nuestros werevery opciones. R M R

This restaurant is on the main street of Woburn. There is parking outside the door - if you are lucky to get a space. We had a Sunday Roast, which was good and the staff were excellent, kind and attentive, they couldn't have made our stop more pleasant.We opted for the 2 course option on the menu which was £15.95. A pint of Doombar came in at £3.30 but a glass of Merlot was a whopping £6.25! I'd asked for a large glass but it didn't look very large. If you have built in the time and want to avoid airport fare on your trip to either Luton or Heathrow - as it is an easy detour from the M1 - stopping here is an addition to your holiday.

Decided to do traditional cuisine the chicken and leek pie was amazing. My colleague had fish and chips which he thoroughly enjoyed

We met friends here for lunch. We were 4 adults and 4 children. The lunch menu consisted of main meals or sandwiches. I had the 1/4 chicken which was disappointingly small! The chunky chips were great however. The rest of our party had the ham and eggs chips or the fish and chips, both were very nice. Would recommend as a good lunch spot, but if your hungry avoid the 1/4 roast chicken.

Longs is sadly often quiet but it is nicely presented and the food is very good indeed. For some reason some of the other local restaurants seem to be more popular but I would suggest that they are not really any better.

I've been here twice for lunch and both times were equally good. I sat in the small restaurant which is on the other side of the bar. I guess it's the size and the way that its laid out that makes it feel quite intimate. Although both times there were families, couples and parties of friends which showed that it comfortably caters for all. The food was really good, not bland or generic as can so often be found. This was a really good experience with the dish being well cooked and fresh. I asked the waitress to say thank you to the chef and what was really nice was that she took her time to explain how the meal had been prepared. That was a thumbs up for me. I wish I'd taken the name of the waitress because I've seen her both times and she was really good, light, pleasant and caring. The other great point is that they have a really lovely outside dining area. I'd definitely recommend this place.

We came here for lunch after stumbling across it. It has a more local feel than other restaurants in Woburn. The food was fantastic. The fish, top notch. The waitress was lovely but was sometimes panicky under pressure as she was on her own. She had no reason to be as she did a good job. It's only a small place and the menu is limited but what they did have was excellent. We are looking forward to trying again for dinner.

The venison pie we chose for dinner was good and served quickly. We enjoyed the red wine we chose from the very limited wine list. But the atmosphere in the restaurant was totally lacking, probably washed out by the bright lighting.

Booked a table here for a party of 13 on mothers day, included 5 children. We had a lovely meal with good service and great value for money. Roast dinner was lovely.

I organised an annual dinner for a club here, twenty diners. They looked after us so well, the best service and quality of cuisine that we have had at any venue over many years. The staff were efficiency personified and everyone dining felt really happy with everything, the first time ever. The food was absolutely superb. Throughout the entire process from enquiry to completion they were fantastic. I issued them with instructions for various little idiosyncrasies that we always have and they got everything just as we asked. Again, the first time any venue has. Such a refreshing change, they made us feel as if our happiness mattered to them We will definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone.

Breakfast very good, fair choice available and included in the room rate. Evening meal of fish and chips I found to be on the greasy side although my husband enjoyed his meal. Popular with guests

Had a lovely trip, popped in on the off chance for dinner and it was a treat! Staff were friendly, especially one individual, I think I noted her name down as Denise. Definite pat on the back.Will visit again.

A very enjoyable over night stay and a very enjoyable breakfast making our brief stay well worth another visit

Had an evening Meal here very nice, was going to eat in our Hotel but this looked nicer food good Staff nice and helpful and the price was ok

Just happened to be wandering around Woburn village of a Tuesday lunchtime and fancied a bit of light lunch so wandered down the main street and came across Longs.Lovely little place that had real ales and proper coffee and that didn't try to force you into a "full on" lunchtime meal.The good lady had the soup of the day (Spiced Parsnip) and I had a nice wholemeal sandwich with proper hand sliced beef therein !Washed down with a couple of coffees (served in nice mugs with proper handles that I can get my fingers into - I hate the tiny cups with tiny handles !) the whole bill was just under £15 so very reasonable and not much more than "fast food".If you happy to be wandering around Woburn Village (and it's antique shops) then pop in - if you like the charm of an old village pub you might just like it too !

We found them on trip advisor during a long tiring journey and they were very helpful putting back our table 3 times! All 9 of us enjoyed a great British roast and both adults and kids had between 2 and 3 courses. Great food, good value, lovely setting and very welcoming.

We spent a perfect Sunday lunchtime here. The food was exceptional (the chips were just amazing!) and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent with efficient and friendly staff who made us feel very welcome and were not too intrusive. A perfect balance. We will return and will definitely recommend!

This is a great restaurant in Woburn. Believe you can stay as well. Situated in the Main Street in Woburn. My wife and I went along for lunch. Can only comment on what we had. But menu looked ample. Fish and chips. And the large portion of scampi. Presented well and tasted delicious. Sweet to follow a very light sticky toffee pudding. All in all a great idea and would recommend.

On route to centre parks in Woburn for a spa day, we stopped in Woburn it's self for lunch. After sitting in a nearby establishment for 10 mins with out being seen to, we walked 100 yards to this charming little cosy pub. The log burner was on and we received a warm smile at the bar. We placed out order for 2 roasts and took a seat. We played dominoes for 15 mins while we waited and then our dinners were served. The wife had the beef and enjoyed it, I had the pork and I enjoyed that also. Fresh crispy roast spuds and fresh veg!! All in all a winner, we will visit again!

If you like a friendly restaurant which serves good wholesome food in pleasant surroundings both inside and out this is the one for you! Woburn has quite a few eating places but this is certainly good value for money as well!

We visited at 1800 on a Friday, 3 adults and a toddler. The place was surprisingly quiet. We were warmly welcomed, staff very pleasant and friendly. Our large collection of food allergies was no problem at all. Everyone said their food was very nice - my fish and chips was lovely. I had a Malbec by the glass and that was fine too. The meringue in the eton mess was a bit tough, but we'll forgive them. There were still empty tables when we left, peak time on warm Friday evening, and that's a shame because the restaurant deserves another visit. Good straightforward food.

Normally a busy, lively place with good food. We had a disappointing lunch which was a couple of drinks and some average sandwiches. The bread was too thick for the filling and the beef sandwiches were the sort that forced you to open them up and fiddle with pulling fat off. The place was empty which was unusual.

Came here for lunch on Sunday A very basic pub menu, Not a great choice for non meat eaters. Ended up having a cheese and chutney sandwich. A decent amount of cheese but about a teaspoon of chutney in the whole sandwich. Good service from the two ladies who were not only serving in the restaurant but serving in the bar too.

Great hotel would stop there again nice breakfast rooms very clean and the staff were very helpful and lovely hotel in the heart of woburn.

We stayed at the hotel. For the money it was actually pretty comfortable. The staff were really helpful and friendly, and it was a good breakfast they served. However, as Woburn is quite quiet, the hotel closed its bar & restaurant at 5pm. Not the end of the world, though, as there's a couple of pubs to choose from and plenty of restaurants. I'd stay again if I wanted to be in Woburn.

Popped in on the off chance to see if we could obtain a table for 2 for an impromptu Sunday Lunch and so glad we did. Lovely welcome and prompt service and delicious food. A charming place and faultless service. I wold definitely recommend and will be going back soon with some friends as I was most impressed.

We wanted to stay not too far from Milton Keynes and found Longs Inn; not quiet sure what to expect as mixed reviews. Our bedroom was newly painted (rather slapdash and smelt of paint) but clean and fresh. The bed was rather rickety but comfortable. The toilet had a saniflow which, whilst appreciating installing plumping in old buildings can be challenging, is not acceptable for £95 per night. And it's not the fault of Longs Inn, but this lovely village is spoilt by heavy goods vehicles passing through all times of day and night, and if your bedroom is at the front of the building will disturb you.We had a pint of Doombar in the bar which was okish, but the menu was pretty unappealing so went else where to eat.Now I am a bit of a breakfast fiend; I love my breakfast and could eat a proper cooked breakfast everyday without fail. But I avoid carbs, so instead of the full English I ordered bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes, which were quiet nicely served but the portion sizes were on the mean side and the eggs over-cooked.All in all Longs Inn is okish. Can't get excited, on the other hand, if it suited I might stay again. I felt it was a little over priced but not a rip off by any means. So okish is the best word I can think of to sum up my review.

This is an ancient inn currently undergoing refurbishment. We had booked a twin room on the ground floor but were asked if we wouldn't mind taking a double room upstairs which we did. This was a mistake because access to our room was up very steep, narrow stairs as befitting an ancient inn but with no suitable hand rail. Would be very difficult for people more elderly than myself and those with limited mobility. Our room had just been painted and the smell of new paint very strong, especially as the windows were closed. Once opened the only way to keep the windows open was to use either a book or coaster! The room was very clean but basic and in my opinion over priced. The positives were staff friendliness and the food at breakfast good. Having other friends in the hotel with us made the stay enjoyable and fun but would I go again, sorry no.

Lovely restaurant and good food. Shame we were the only table in on a Saturday night. Attentive staff

We had a lovely meal. Plenty of excellent home cooked food, great service and good live jazz duo. Thank you.

Excellent roasts and ham egg & chips. Recommend the house merlot and bottled cider, better than average for sure. Get a table by the fire!!

A very nice Sunday Roast with the meat cooked to perfection and nice home made Yorkshire puds and plenty of vegetables. Excellent value for money. Very friendly and helpful staff. What's not to like!!!!!!!!!!

Many thanks to Yvonne and other staff at Longs for looking after my guests so well last Thursday. They did a super job - the food and wine flowed and the staff worked hard and were lovely. I look forward to going back under happier circumstances.

Tables sticky and on the tilt, service ok but food poor didn't eat most of it and at nearlly £100 it was far from worth it.The grapes on the goats cheese salad were sour and the goats cheese was old, the chicken wings were greasy, the steak was very leathery and had no taste there really was not anything worth writing home about. There are plenty of other restaurants in Woburn that are worth the money so would advise anyone to look elsewhere it really really was not worth it. Left the restaurant feeling hungry and in need of a shower due to the lack of cleanliness. I think the thing that finished it off was one of the employees coming downstairs in their PJ's and helping themselves to coffee. Get a grip there is plenty of competition. Think we should have walked out again when saw there were only a couple of people in it.

We had a boosy lunch here and it was nice especially the deserts and the staff were good and friendly too.

Had family lunch here today. Menu was excellent - catering for those who wanted a blow out and those of us who wanted something lighter knowing we were bbqing this evening. Sat outside in the courtyard - iniitially no service out here but that changed when we ordered food. Staff friendly as opposed to professionally trained (not a bad thing). Eton Mess for dessert was to die forJust one minor comment (and mention as hospitality is my business). Watched with interest the staff cleaning a bedroom - very impressed with hoovering of doorstep. However windows above toilets have very very big cobwebs - I think just store rooms. The only reason I mention this is that if I was thinking of staying here, that would put me off - and certainly from the way we watched the maid cleaning, that would be an undeserved viewPUtting that aside which is more feedback for restaurant/hotel as opposed to important to the review, I would certainly come back here for a meal when next in Woburn - it is worth it just for the chips which are to die .....

I found this to be a very friendly restuarant with excellent food and a very happy and jovial Host. Its one of those places where you feel relaxed as soon as you enter. This made the evening with friends and family so enjoyable. Thankyou

Stopped in here with friend for a meal, what a find! Lovely food fresh and hot and very reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

The Steak was well cooked and the Coffee cheesecake lovely. Wine far too expensive. Visited in the early evening. No atmosphere. We used a promotional discount which made the meal very good value for money. However I prefer other venues in Woburn.

We ate here on Friday 14th March, we were a group of 3 people with 2 out of the 3 being intolerant to gluten and dairy. We had attended earlier in the day and spoke to the chef to explain our intolerance issues and he said he would see what he could do. Well when we returned at 7pm the chef had gone all out and changed most of the food already on the menu to accommodate us. Even offered to make us anything not on the menu as long as it was a reasonable request. The meal ended up being the best we have had in a long time! The staff were friendly and attentive plus the pub served my favourite beer. I highly recommend using this restaurant.

This was my second visit to Longs Inn, I enjoyed my first trip but there appeared to be quite a lack of organisation. I'm pleased to see on this visit a complete reversal. Staff as ever very friendly, but more importantly organised!The food was excellent, nice large portions and succulent meat, the chocolate brownie is just pure heaven.We visited during Sunday lunchtime, expecting it to be busy, surprisingly it was pretty quiet. If you are in woburn or nearby I'd really recommend Longs Inn, great food, great service and a wonderful location.

We had dinner for six and it was a great night out. The service was excellent, food wonderful, lovely relaxed atmosphere and great hosts. I would recommend this restaurant.

Visited Longs restaurant in Woburn recently. On arrival staff were very welcoming and friendly. Waitress seated us in the bar for a drink, gave us the menu to have a look at whilst we had our drinks and explained the 'specials' for that evening. I ordered calamari for starter and I wasn't disappointed - they were dusted in a light coating and were cooked perfectly - not always that easy to achieve! I then had ribs with chips and coleslaw - the ribs were really tasty and the meat was so tender - my only complaint would be that there were too many ribs - but the waitress had warned me that it was quite a large meal! My husband had steak and was pleased that the chef had cooked it just as he had asked - rather than cooking it how they feel it should be cooked! The waitress had told us that if we weren't too full we should try the chocolate brownie - she said that previous customers had said how nice it was. So we ordered one to share and it was delicious! A very nice meal in a friendly atmosphere - would definitely recommend Longs and am looking forward to eating there again soon!

This was an impromptu meeting up with family. The food was good and the staff very attentive but sadly it was very quiet and therefore lacking in atmosphere. Also it was difficult to understand with so few people in the restaurant that they had run out of one of the puds!

Lovely food and huge portions, would certainly visit again for the food which was excellent value. Service was very polite but it was chaos. They forgot the starter, food was slow coming. They had tables clearly marked s reserved but when the guests arrived they where not prepared and had not laid the tables. Not even enough menus to go round it seemed.....Avoid the coffee, great big cups but not that great if you are any type of coffee fan. So to sum it up, good food, good portions, polite service, nice venue but be prepared for some disorganisation.

Reasonable drinks. Amazing food but the staff and service were exceptional. Definitely coming back!!

Longs is a small pretty 1600's pub hotel that we've walked past many times but we're really glad we did finally walk in. We had a few good draught beers and snacks and then had thee different excellent value £7 main courses. The blue cheese burger with pickles and dill was delicious as were the pulled pork rolls and the chilli con carne. The extra crispy French fries were also delicious served in a trendy metal pot. The main was so good we shared a lovely home made brownie and tasty vanilla ice cream and had a super coffee and hot chocolate and marshmellows. The decor, service price and the friendly young waitress made for an excellent spur of the moment visit. We liked it so much we've booked for Christmas.

Went with husband for anniversary dinner & we loved it...the staff, menu & atmosphere were all equally memorable. Seasonal & fresh ingredients with nothing too much trouble.

My parents were coming to stay for a few days and we arranged to meet them for a meal at the Longs Inn. I emailed first of all to arrange a table and ask if they did scampi and chips as this is my Fathers favourite meal and was told that they would definately hold a portion if it was not already on the menu. We ate in the bar as my parents wanted to bring their dog and we had a lovely evening, the food was really really good and the staff could not be more pleasant or helpful. Will definately be going back.

We needed to stop somewhere not too far off the M1 for an evening meal and stumbled upon Longs Inn on the High Street in Woburn. It was a little quiet for a Saturday night, but the menu looked good so we gave it a go.We were greeted warmly, encountered attentive waiting staff and the pub had a good local menu. Refreshing to find somewhere where the menu is seasonal, ingredients are sourced from locals and foraged fruits were used in the desserts.Unfortunately the last Venison Wellington had been ordered so we opted for partridge and a burger. The burger was happily enjoyed. The partridge came with turnip puree, savoy cabbage with bacon and a potato rashti. Everything was delicious and flavoursome. I would say that the partridge was a little overcooked; dry. The turnip puree tasted delicious but was cold. I would expect food to be served on piping hot plates, unfortunately these weren't. There wasn't enough gravy.We stayed for dessert and both enjoyed homemade raspberry sponge with custard. Again the plates were cold and the portion of custard was very small. Perhaps they could serve it in hot jugs to keep it warm?Overall we enjoyed our surprise impromptu meal after a long day out and would return if we were in the area. One other note, the music needs updating. There was a 90's compilation album that we heard three times on loop (!). Little tweaks to be made, but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.A warm welcome, reasonable and delicious bite of local food.

After and action packed day at the safari park the Long Inn was the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing drink and some amazing food. Which we found out was all locally sourced and home made, the plum crumble was to die for. It was reasaonably priced and really good quality. It had a really nice and relaxed atmorsphere, the staff were very friendly. And I would defiantly go back again.

We stayed for three days (hotel reviewed elsewhere) and food was a real highlight. Don't go if you're on a diet! Great selection of loose gourmet nuts at the bar, measured out into a bowl, rather than the usual plastic packets. There are now ciders to choose from...beware the innocent tasting but lethal cloudy cider on draught! The breakfasts are superb, ranging from full English to Eggs Benedict to bacon sarnies in the best homemade bread ever, and the evening meal we had was just as good...rump steak which was lovely and tender despite being cooked rare at our request, and a pulled pork sandwich which was wonderfully tasty. I don't know where they source their food, but the pork products in particular were excellent. Afraid we couldn't manage pudding..sorry! There's a sausage and ale function this weekend (7 and 8 September)...seriously, get in there if you can. Their sausages and their bread will be to die for!

The breakfast was spot on everything cooked to perfection don't know where they source their ingredients but tasted fab. My daughter wanted something not listed on the menu and it was no trouble for them to do it for her. Everything on offer not only full English but eggs benedict, smoked salmon/scrambled egg, cereals etc.

called in for an inpromptue sunday lunch,what a dissapointment. staff didnt seem to know what eachother were doing ,got asked the same questions twice over and didnt listen to requests for extra gravy even though it was 30 seconds between checkback,tried to give beer when asking for a red wine and gave another lady customer a pint when clearly asked for a half. although the beef was tasty, the vegetables were few, the potatoes and yorkshires like bullets and the gammon overcooked . we didnt bother staying for dessert . very dissapointing.

The new owners have a solid plan for putting this business at the top in Woburn. They are making continuous improvements to all aspects. We attended a themed wine tasting, which was very well received by the patrons and this was accompanied by excellent food and attentive service. The 15 bedrooms, well stocked bar, pleasant restaurant, with good food, combine to make Longs a good place to just go for a drink, have a meal, organise a celebration or use as a base for attending weddings, " going on safari" or having a quite weekend break in beautiful Bedfordshire. Highly recommended.

At one time this must have been a traditional old coaching inn and in many ways still looks the part, but has also clearly had something of a contemporary makeover. It consists of a public bar to the left, a lounge/restaurant area to the right and a courtyard garden at the rear. It would appear that accommodation is also offered. It was very quiet on a recent Tuesday evening visit, and it looked as though all the punters that were there may have been residents. The public bar is currently closed for refurbishment, so unfortunately I am unable to leave much in the way of a detailed review for this. The landlady was friendly and helpful.The lounge and restaurant off to the right consists of a small lounge area at the front with just a couple of tables, leather arm chairs and a sofa. Further back it opens out in to the restaurant with a small bar counter dominated by a coffee machine. This has quite a contemporary feel with wooden boards on the floor, khaki green paintwork on the walls with white detailing elsewhere and a number of black ceiling and support beams. The tables were all laid up for food and the chairs were of the upright, brown leather variety. A couple of arty black and white photos were hung on the wall and there was a brick fire-place. From what I could see of the bar this had a tiled floor and a large brick fire-place with a wood burning stove as well as some exposed brick wall elsewhere. The menu was fairly succinct, and appeared to be aimed slightly higher than your usual “pub grub”, but certainly nothing too gastro-like. Most of the mains were around the £10 mark and consisted of option such as smoked haddock fishcakes, sausage and mash and a venison burger. My meatballs with tomato and basil pasta and garlic bread was a decent enough dish and generously proportioned. Possibly the price was slightly ambitious at £10.50, but I’ve no complaints and would happily return to try something else.Beers on tap were the local Fenny Popper from the Concrete Cow Brewery and the ubiquitous Doom Bar. The solitary cider was Strongbow, unfortunately.

Called in here for a drink and snack whilst in Woburn and the staff could not have been more helpful. The snack we had was delicious and judging by the amount of people eating this is a very popular place.

10 minutes off the M1, easy and free street parking, cosy yet uncrowded dining areas, friendly service, very good restaurant food, reasonably priced. Recommended.

We ate at longs inn, food was really nice, staff lovely and owners very friendly. Would recommned the set menu e3xcellent value for money

We visited Longs Inn on impulse for lunch whilst visiting Woburn. The landlady and other staff are all friendly without being intrusive and the food was very good. All areas are very clean, the food was tasty, fresh and hot and the house wine served was very good. We will definitely return.

Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms and good food. Can't find anything wrong with the place.

Having called in on speck when travelling through on our way home, we had a lovely meal at these premises. Excellent seasonal choice available, everything nicely served in very acceptable surroundings in these quaint premises. Highly recommend. Again our second visit was just as good. Always a warm welcome. Thank you.

We stayed in the hotel as a family of 2 adults and 2 children last week and ate here on the first night. A great selection of food and they were great at catering for 2 very fussy children. My 6 year old daughter loved the chocolate brownies!. They also had a great wine selection and the staff were really attentive without being overbearingWould defiantly eat here again

I only LIKED this....a lot ! perfect food & service - I asked them to alter the desert slightly and it was no trouble whatsoever

Amazing food great staff great wine! Lovely atmosphere and very friendly management . Would def recommend the beef and chocolate brownie

Nice old fashioned pub, tiny bar. Staff attentive and nice atmosphere. Put wine in wine bucket which always a nice touch.

Visited for lunch on a friday as walk in customers.Opted to eat in the bar rather than the restaurant. Very welcoming with log fire, comfy chairs and newspaper.We were the only ones in the bar but others in the restaurant side.We chose the set lunch deal, £11 for glass of wine, starter and mains. Not huge choice but adequate. I had soup which was excellent and fish and chips. small portion of fish but very nice and a few chips -not home cooked. The meal was fine but needed a second veg or side. Partner had Sausage and mash which was excellent. Service was very friendly and would go back but woud try full menu.

We in dropped by chance for a Sunday lunch and had a lovely meal. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly. Soup of the day was fish which was very tasty. The wife had chicken pâté which seemed home made and very nice.Our two roasts were very good. Nice thick cut Beef cooked perfectly. Darn good for £10.95 The vegetables were very summery and fresh, A really pleasant and seasonal accompaniment.Slight mini gripes: My wine should have bit a little cooler (but it certainly wasn't warm) , not really convinced its a £6 glass but that's being a bit picky. I am not 100% sure the decor really works, maybe just not to my taste but the very bold papers and modern light shades didn't seem very comfortable with the painted walls and framed pictures. I would and will go back and would recommend it .
