Nonna's Woburn Sands in Central Bedfordshire

Great meal. Had excellent service by Harry. Very attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Harry + Esme amazing staff, very friendly and great food 😊

Fabulous afternoon. Went for bottomless brunch with my sisters. Food was amazing, generous portions and food hot! Drinks refilled quickly, couldn't have asked for anything more. Massive thankyou to Harry and Johnny, your service was impeccable, you made us feel very welcome, snd gave us a giggle, an extra thankyou to Harry for the coconut macaroon as we left, definitely be back again soon.

Nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff!!!!

Just had a couple of beers, rather expensive, did not have food but the menu looked dear, Quality or quantity?, you decide.

Food was reasonably tasty but very disappointing portion size and over-priced - 'sandwich' pictured was one small slice of bread with a bit of crab and some melted cheese. With a small salad this was £15!! Add some fries and it was nearly £20. Staff were friendly enough, but I wont be visiting again.

Johnny provided outstanding service throughout our large booking. He was professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you!

Incredible! We had an amazing experience! Thank you 😊

Have been coming here for many years and it only gets better. Food is always very nice and possibly has the best halloumi fries of any restaurant I've been to. Squid starter is also banging. We love the atmosphere and charm of the place. Very friendly place and great with dogs. My dog had a little nervous reaction the other day and they handled it so professionally. Couldn't be more willing to write a review on the workers there. Great for an after ride meal, a date night or a drink or two. We usually go after a good ride at Woburn Sands trails and can always relax at the Swan.

They don’t sell Guinness or any stout for that matter. If you want a Guinness head to The Royal Oak or The Fir Tree, both within a stones throw of this establishment.

Lovely meal! Harry and Tracy are amazing!

Friendly and unhurried service, with great food. Harry and Tracey were super helpful

Our first time at Nonna’s and it most certainly won’t be the last ! What a delightful restaurant. Really excellent food - fantastic staff & service - wonderful decor. We were party of 6 celebrating my Daughters birthday. We all had different meals and they were ALL fabulous. Compliments to the chefs 👏🏻👏🏻 Restaurant manager Ivo (pineapple Ivo, that’s all I’m saying 😂) such a lovely guy who made our night all the more enjoyable with his excellent service, charm & warm personality ! As do all of the staff ! We’re already looking forward to our next visit x

We had a good look at the menu which was basic but very pricey so with that comes expectations. My Wife’s linguini was the size of a starter for £24 and you could barely see a tinge of pink in the pink gin & tonic, very weak my burger was £20 but nothing special, wetherspoons would have been £10 . We were accompanied by out two friends and their young children - all together the bill was £185 plus our tip so £200.. the waitress was lovely and very engaging I have to say and was brilliant with the little people. Not good value for money, very expensive for the quality of food so probably not for us again

Went to the swan on a Friday afternoon with my parents. We loved the atmosphere. The staff were kind and that the beverages were cold and we loved being out in the garden with the sun shining on us.

We had booked this restaurant for the first time and upon arrival sat down around the bar area to have a drink first before being seated to have our dinner. After sitting for over 15 minutes we had to ask to see a drinks menu and enquire about happy hour. We then had to wait even further before anyone took our drink orders and drinks arriving. By this time we were far from impressed. Half way through our drinks we ordered some bread and olives and you guessed it 20 minutes later nothing had arrived. By now the 5 of us had decided that we were not going to eat here as the service before we had even sat down for our meal had been appalling. To add insult to injury someone who looked like management appeared for the first time asking if everything was ok and we politely explained what had happened and she apologised but went onto say I have just clocked on. I’m sorry your staff should be capable of being attentive to customers at all time whether management are about or not. To add even further insult the bread and olives were added to our bill and they were only removed when we explained that we had never had them because they had never arrived. Would have scored it even less if I could.

Lovely food and great service from a very friendly, tattooed man (apologies! I didn’t get his name). He was attentive, friendly and very welcoming. It was my first time having breakfast and was pleasantly surprised at the vast selection available. I will definitely be back soon. Always a pleasant experience at Nonna’s

We visited Nonna's after our legal marriage ceremony and we wanted to make a bit of an occasion out of the event before the big wedding. The entire team at Nonna's treated us amazingly and I can't remember the last time I've experienced such great service. From recommending we start with an anti-pasti board, to offering to make us an off the menu sharing experience for our main, wine tastings, shots, cocktail recommendations and more, we were blown away by the entire afternoon. We spent nearly 3 hours there and weren't at any point rushed, and the food and flavours were spot on. We will definitely be returning for our anniversary!

Absolutely first class service from all. Harry was a great host and accessibility was great as I'm in a wheelchair.

Harry and Natasha are amazing! Great service in a lovely pub! They should be paid lots of money

Harry and Natasha were friendly and helpful. Lovely atmosphere.

We visited Nonna’s on a Monday following our friend’s legal marriage ceremony. We were told that there were items not available on the menu that day however, it didn’t matter because we got a gold star service! The entire team treated us like we were VIP customers. Aiden made recommendations for the table to share and it did not disappoint! The food was fantastic! We would highly recommend and will definitely be going back!! 😀👍🏼

Natasha and Harry where do friendly and helpful. On arrival Harry opened the door so my husband could wheel his wheelchair in. The food was so tasty and the service was outstanding. Atmosphere was warm , chatty but not overly noisy. My husband, and I loved our visit and will return. 100% recommend the Swan at Woburn Sands. Thank you to all the catering staff as well as Natasha and Harry.

This venue is fantastic. And for large groups - this venue is fantastic!

We had the most wonderful meal here today for Mother's Day and my Mum's birthday. The food was delicious, fantastic quality and cooked to perfection. The service that the staff gave to us and our children was impeccable (especially from Evie 😊). I would highly recommend for a special meal out or any meal for that matter! Cannot fault The Swan at all! Thank you!

They need more staff! We booked a table for 7.00pm and arrived at 6.50. Pub was not really busy with a fair few empty tables. We had to wait for 20mins before anyone came to acknowledge we were there (with one of us balancing on crutches) whilst just 2 overworked staff did there best to wait at table and man the bar and deal with drinks requests and bring food in from the kitchens. But, they were cheerful and after we were finally seen the evening went well and the food was fine. So in summary - They need more staff!

A pleasant place to grab a bite to eat. Thank you to Tracey for the kind service.

Thank you harry very polite and helpful

Lovely place to eat, we went for a Sunday roast

We went for a Sunday roast, and it was lovely. The food was lovely and hot, and it all tasted wonderful. The service was very good, even though the restaurant was very busy.

Sunday lunch was fabulous served by the amazing Tracy. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Food was stunning prawn sandwich was amazing. Harry was a great server. Jonathan made the best cocktails for our lunch.

AVOID…I wouldn’t have fed the food to my dog… if I had one. Had the starter which was scallops- ok not worth the £13 odd price tag. Waited nearly 40 mins for our main course. No one once came to update us on the food. When it arrived the plate was hot but the food stone cold, dry and disgusting. As for the sides the veg was soggy, and the “cottage cheese” should never have been plated. Clearly can’t handle that many covers without buckling under pressure…

A bit quiet on a Wednesday lunchtime. The service and friendliness of staff was excellent. Lunchtime menu fairly basic and limited, but well presented and good to eat.

Nice Gavi, lovely garden and great staff!

Spent a lovely evening at Nonna’s. Celebrating a family birthday. The service was fantastic, Aidan looked after us, with the perfect amount of interaction. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great. The food was delicious as were the cocktails. We will definitely be coming back.

The food was good, but Tracy’s service made the whole experience even better! She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Amazing service—thank you, Tracy!

Thanks so much for an amazing evening

Came here for a birthday lunch with our two children after wanting to try the restaurant for a while. It didn’t disappoint!! Our food and drinks were delicious and Aidan and the rest of the staff were really friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!!

Very efficient staff who are polite and helpful. Good quality ingredients and a good choice. Always our 'go to' place when we visit The Stables. Would definitely recommend.

we had the lovely evie, who made sure we had a great time and approached with such friendliness! Overall had a lovely sunday lunch!

Lovely staff, dog friendly and lovely food. Well proportioned, which wasn't expected. And cooked well. Atmosphere is very friendly. Will definitely come back again.

Tracie was Amazing couldn’t do enough ❤️

We love dining here. Food is great as is the service. Onsite parking also... Bonus! And it's dog friendly. Would highly recommend as this pub never let's us down.

FABULOUS STAFF AMAZING FOOD !!! Have had the most amazing meal !!!! Fully clued up on allergens, a tablet which filters everything you can have. I had the steak and it was cooked to perfection, I opted to change the chips for dauphinous potatoes as the gentleman said they couldn't 100% guarantee the chips (do have separate fryer) ....... superb service, staff were so welcoming....... fantastic food !!!! Didn't take any pics as I was enjoying my food too much 🤣🤣 and sticky toffee pudding was gf...... not a gf brownie in sight 🤣🤣 Hubby had a pizza and he said that was really good, was able to customize it too.

Always lovely experience at the swan, the staff are lovey and the food is good.

Staff amazing especially Esme and Johnny. Tasty food.

The service here was lovely, we had Evie as our server and she was great.

Came for some cocktails with friends, great 2 for £15 deal in the week! They were all made perfectly and Katie on the bar was very polite and friendly, even giving us some excellent recommendations

100% we've just found our new go-to local restaurant favourite. Our first time at Nonnas, enjoying one of their newly advertised Wine Club evenings. This was their 12th February 'Wine Club the Art of Living' Chateaubriand with four paired wines experience. The service, ambience, fabulous dining quality (thank-you chef(s), enhanced by the knowledgeable in-house sommelier (Russell), excellent live Latin jazz guitarist, and personal attention from the owner (Damien), made for a perfect evening. Personally speaking, this was just what we needed - and surpassed all expectations. Can't wait for their next themed Wine Night. We will definitely be back ASAP.

Wonderful pub and always fabulous service from the dark haired lady that's been there for years!

Nonnas is my Birthday treat from my family. We arrived and sat on a very nice table. We were not hurried at all in ordering and our breakfast all arrive together and was pipping hot. Your staff looked after us very well and Aiden made sure we were all happy with our meal. Nonna is a very busy restaurant all day so one must book well in advance if there is a party of you. Looking forward to returning.

Me my partner and friends attended the Saturday brunch and it was absolutely brilliant! 100% the best brunch in Milton Keynes without a doubt. Damien and Steve were absolutely brilliant and never let the drinks go dry!!!!

Took visiting family a couple nights ago for dinner and was incredibly disappointed. The woman who took our order had not a bit of friendliness, and the process of entering our order into her tablet seemed well beyond what she could manage. ~The food arrived over an hour after we were seated (note: we never said we weren't ready to order...that's just how long things took). ~All four burgers we ordered arrived with incorrect toppings. ~After our food was brought out, we were never visited by a waiter again until we asked for the bill. ~A waiter dropped a knife on the floor between two tables, and we watched for almost 90 minutes as staff walked past it - sometimes stepping on it - and never bending down to pick it up. It was really an embarrassing experience, which fortunately our guests were good natured about. On the positive side, there was a young man working there who was friendly and brought the bill promptly when it was requested. Very sad to see how much The Swan has changed in the few years since we were last there.

Food was impeccable - tasty, presented well and pleasing to the eye, everything cooked as we requested. Service was quick and attentive. Drinks came over at a good pace. Decor was clean, and inviting; huge improvement since they reopened. Staff were welcoming and professional and compensating to our needs as guests. 100% recommend. 5 stars easy!

Always a great experience. Lovely place.

An amazing atmosphere and food with really welcoming staff #n1 place to eat

Couldn't recommend it enough! We've been to The Swan a few times now and have never been dissapointed. The food quality, service and general atmosphere are all top knotch! The manager, Harry, is always on hand to help along with his wonderful team and food is delicious, the rotisserie chicken being a personal favourite. We shall be back!

Our large party were looked after very well by all the team at The Swan. The food was excellent and the service went very smoothly. On such a cold day the pub was so cosy and warm and I will definitely be back to sample more from the menu. Thank you!

Great service from Deb and good food.

Christmas Day The food was very good, exceptional in some instances with the best turkey I have ever had. However, for me what made us want to return was the staff. It was clearly busy and you all were away from your own families yet you looked after us like we were your own. We will return, thank you.

Great food, very friendly staff, and did I mention the great food?

The staff who were on, were incredibly welcoming and very hard working. We were sure they were short staffed on the day as we waited a long time for mains and mine was the linguine, which was nice and spicy but looked like it had been sat under the pass for 20 minutes before it was served to me. It didn't spoil the day and we weren't in a rush but a bit of a shame for what could have been a 5 star Christmas lunch.

We had our company Christmas lunch yesterday and cannot praise Jonny, Kate and other staff enough for their service, the food was wonderful and my team had a great time, thank you so much to everyone. I am sure we will book again. Thank you and Merry Christmas from the CITI Limited team.

Very good visit , plan to visit again .

Served by Tracey on Monday lunchtime, fantastic service and a friendly welcome as always!

Great food and drink! Debbie never fails to give us a good evening and put a smile on our faces!

Awful Food. Poor slow service tonight. The harrisa prawns were soggy! The raqlette had a strange taste to it And the garlic bread was rock hard. As for our mains, they got the order wrong, steak was average the peppercorn sauce was awful. Panzella salad was a few old tomatoes with crumpets old lettuce leaves thrown together with a hummus plodded on top.

Had a lovely lunch with an elderly friend, food was excellent but the Service from Caitlyn was super friendly and attentive. Thank you.

Harry is fantastic! Food was great! Brilliant service and food

Great food and service. Will definitely be coming back again in the future. Thanks

Disappointing at best. Firstly we were put in a tiny table for 2 when only 4 tables were being used in the restaurant. Food was average at best and small portions. Nobody asked if we wanted more drinks or whether the food was ok?

Harry was amazin’! Definitely needs a raise.

Perfect experience. Highly recommend to visit

Beware of this place we’ve just received a £60 parking ticket out of the blue for a meal we had mid October. They’re making big money out of people who use their car park when using their restaurant!

A bit disappointing in my recent visit. I ordered British half rotisserie chicken from the main and expect to get half of the chicken. At the end, what I have is just two pieces of chicken breast. Also, the chicken breast is hardly called cooked as rotisserie. 😒

Food was delicious as always! Katie served us, she was delightful and made our experience! Will always return to the swan. Definitely recommend!

Great evening at the swan tonight! Thanks to the team!

Great food, nice atmosphere and good service. Thanks to Katie who looked after our table.

Great pub! Amazing food and beer and very friendly staff!

Very warm and friendly and food was delicious.

The food was lovely! Tracey was our waitress and she was brilliant had a great laugh and went out of her way to help, would highly recommend she’s a diamond!

Came in on Thursday for lunch We had a fabulous meal it was presented beautifully and tasted even better. We was served by Chris and kaitlin Great knowledge of the menu We love the new re vamp and will be back again 😊

The manager Kris was a delight.

A most disappointing Sunday roast. Soggy Yorkshire pudding, small quantities, and we had to ask for the green veg, which were brought out in the end but without a spoon to serve them. Beef ok, but everything was lukewarm. The coffee and mini dessert were good though.

Great food and fabulous service, our host Kris was brilliant! A credit to the swan

The breakfast was very good! Charlotte gave amazing service and was very helpful!

Met a friend for breakfast, the food & coffee were delicious & nice & hot. Great service from Charlotte, she was lovely & friendly. My friend needed gluten free & Charlotte had a good knowledge of this. Will definitely be back!

Charlotte was very professional and friendly, checking in everything was ok. Lovely first impression!

Dropped in on 'the off chance' so glad we did. Excellent food and good menu choice, staff were lovely, very efficient and helpful. Can highly recommend

Just enjoyed a lovely lunch here with a group of friends. The food was great, service excellent (thanks Debbie), refurbishing very impressive and a perfect way to spend a few hours on an autumn afternoon.

Three of us had lunch on a Tuesday in October. We sat outside in one of the lovely booths. When I walked in Harry immediately carried the drinks outside for us and left us with menus. He went through the menu with us and I had his recommendation of the Ray Wing, which was simply delicious. My wife had the chicken and mozzarella sandwich. My Son had the Marguerite pizza. We also had desserts. Everything was excellent. Harry and Tracy provided a very warm, friendly atmosphere and were extremely attentive and efficient. Will definitely be back.

Went for breakfast, very nice, very pleasant staff, lovely decor. So impressed with their breakfast, we went back for a snack lunch of a their sandwich offering that we noticed earlier in their menu. We went for their Wooly Lamb, which was supposed to be a minted lamb rump, however it was very impressive when arrived, however less impressive when you opened it to see mass’s of pizza base type folded with plenty of filling, but little lamb. We also had the suckling pig sandwiche, which by description was expected like a variation of a hot pork sandwich, but no pork was found, only a rather of bacon and other sundry fillings. Overall after the lovely breakfast, the sandwiches were disappointing.

popped in on spec with a friend I haven’t seen for a long time. We ended up staying for ages as we had a lot of talking to do! What lovely service we had from Steve. More than happy to serve us a coffee then move us to another table as we decided to stay on for lunch. Lovely time. Cannoli yum!! Thank you!

1st time visiting and will definitely be back. Attentive service from start to finish. A lovely warm atmosphere. Had the mega roast and everything was cooked to perfection. Will be back to try the evening menu.

A review below mine by Samantha G is a prime example of reviews that are just done out of spite and are completely worthless! I despise reviews like these especially when it’s about independent businesses. My family and I turned up today with no booking. We had to wait for a table to be put together but thankfully they were able to eventually accommodate us. Admittedly there was a little wait for drinks orders but it wasn’t ridiculously long and I could see the restaurant was fairly busy. Patience goes a long way! The lovely waiter we had acknowledged we’d waited a little longer for a drinks order to be taken and rightly so apologised. Again this action goes a long way to keep customers happy. I haven’t been here before but if this pace is usual of the restaurant then maybe it’s not for you if you’re in a rush. We weren’t and we didn’t find the wait uncomfortable or annoying. As I haven’t been here before I can’t honesty comment on whether this pace is usual or not, they could’ve been short staffed or it could just be the way it is. Either way I didn’t have an issue with it. The food was exceptionally good! A very good size too! I was absolutely stuffed after. The pizzas are massive!!! The kids had fries for their starters and they really loved them… they were very tasty! I had the lobster starter and hubby had the pork starter…his was my favourite. Presentation is very good. The kids had carbonara for their mains which they weren’t overly keen on but ate most of it. They’re used to supermarket carbonara which have a cream sauce and aren’t authentic. They looked very lovely though. I had the Bosco pizza with a burrata on top. Hubby had a “special” pizza. My pizza was gorgeous! Hubby wasn’t a fan of his but it’s completely his fault as he skimmed the menu and ordered without really looking at all the ingredients…had he then he’d have chosen differently. The size of the pizzas really are very big. Next time I probably wouldn’t get a starter! Our meal was £113 for a 2 course meal for 4, in a beautiful restaurant (that is absolutely NOT SHABBY but rather beautifully and uniquely decorated/furnished), and with great service so I feel the cost comfortably reflected the overall quality of our experience. We’d go again! And can’t wait to!

Amazing service from Tracey as always. Thank you!!!

Nice food and really quick service.

Wow! Lovely place, the lamb rump was amazing!.. We were looked after by Travis and top marks to the chefs, Cristian & Lisa. Perfect date night, thanks so much!..

Refurb really nice. Great menu for Sunday lunch. Super staff as well. Had a really good atmosphere as well.
