Nonna's Woburn Sands in Central Bedfordshire

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

Very warm and friendly and food was delicious.

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Truly 5 star lunch experience. Harry our waiter was excellent too. Will be back for sure

Warm friendly atmosphere, food was comforting, classic and tidy. Harry was my server. He was very accommodating; knowledgeable about both the wine list and food (pairing). Over all as a fairly new local looking for a quick lunch was happy and will be a repeat customer :)

Returned after a few months to be looked after again so well by Tracey, our server. Quietly available to us without ever intruding, we all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Thank you: we'll be back!

Harry was great and deserves a pay rise

The Swan is a nice pub for drinks and food. Lovely inside, food is decent and staff are friendly and helpful. Main reason for my review is that I recently received a PCN after a visit to the pub. I contacted the Swan directly regarding this and within 10 minutes I had heard back, and then within 30 minutes the fine had been cancelled - as I had evidence and mitigating circumstances. Shout and thanks to Harry for sorting this for me so quickly.

Me and my partner went for lunch and was greeted by Natalie! We were made to feel welcome immediately! The food was fantastic and will definitely be coming again!!

Nice staff, food is excellent post refurbishment. Good for dietary requirements too.

Tracey was our host for our last lunch before our baby arrives and she made us feel so excited and made the whole meal so special. The food was incredible and we had a lovely time! Thank you

Met friends here. Disappointed there were no fish and chips but we all.had fish finger sandwiches. Delicious. Service good Revisited today. Delicious fish and chips. Batter very light. Unfortunately no one else there. It has had a makeover and is very comfortable and light.

The Swan in Woburn Sands is a fantastic spot! The food was absolutely delicious. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made the experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Popped in for a family lunch after spending day at Woburn Safari park. Service and food there is not enough stars on this review to rate it. Definitely best place around the area. Loved every second spent in there and so did all the family.

Had a lovely farewell meal with the girls. Fantastic food, very tasty, cooked by Jonny. Great service and good recommendations by Sophie Dewberry.

Update. What a transformation. Went there for a drink. Quick friendly service nice pint. Will definitely come back for a meal. Thank you.

Had a great evening at The Swan. Food was absolutely superb, cooked by Jonny. I would highly recommend the goats cheese starter and pork belly main. Sophie looked after us fantastically at the table. The new decor after the refurb is great.

What a fantastic meal and even better service. Best food I’ve had in a restaurant for many years. Thank you to Tracey for great service. Will absolutely be back.

The pub has just undergone a facelift & I was lucky enough to go to a "taster" lunch before officially re-opening & have to say very impressed! Food was superb, service by the manager brilliant & Travis who served us couldn't have been any more helpful. Overall & excellent experience.

Popped in on Saturday afternoon for drink and light bites and will definitely return (festive menu looks great and good value. Friendly service and delicious food - recommend halloumi fries and red pepper hummus 🌟

New grand opening, Caitlin was lovely, she brought us over vegan tasters without us even having to ask! Renovation looks great, can't wait to be back!!

What an amazing transformation! Wishing everyone the best for your re-birth! Evie is lovely and Harry is gonna smash it! X

Evie had amazing service for our opening night really recommend

Had the most beautiful food and the service from Travis was winderful he was so welcoming and so were the entire staff. Their decor is beautiful and food is delicious. We mentioned we were celebrating my sisters birthday and they bought out a plate decorated with fruit and chocolate we will definately recommend to everyone. A gorgeous expensive.

Lovely staff, amazing food and a really nice setting. We shared the meatballs for starter, crab linguine and truffle risotto for main, and the cannoli’s for desert. Would recommend them all especially the cannolis they were fresh and by far the nicest ones I’ve had! All of the above and a cosmopolitan and Moretti for £85. So very good value. We will definitely be coming back.

First time here and very happy with the food and service from Tracey. Friendly atmosphere and will come back again

I had lunch here today and it was lovely, we got the mezze board and it was delicious - the peppers were so good. We were served by Jonny and he was great. They were out of olives and he managed to substitute them for the cheese donuts which were also delish. 10/10 recommend and 10/10 service, thanks Jonny!!

Thankyou Jonnie for the lovely maze and for looking after us so well

I recently visited The Swan for a few drinks and was thoroughly impressed. The venue was spotless, with a relaxing ambience that made it the perfect spot to unwind. The service was fast, polite, and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. There was plenty of comfortable seating available, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening. Whether you're stopping by for a quick drink or a longer stay, The Swan is an excellent choice.

Welcoming staff, good food and relaxed atmosphere. Always visit when in the area.

Had a really nice three course meal including pizza, pasta, calamari, bruschetta and tiramasu. Our server Aiden did a wonderful job explaining and recommending dishes. Can’t wait to visit again!

Pulled pork sandwich stodgy with hardly any filling in some sort of pizza/pitta left 90%. Menu far shorter than I remember so choice very limited. Shame setting is lovely but will go elsewhere

We had an excellent experience at Nonna's in Woburn Sands. The customer service from Sam was outstanding, and the food was absolutely amazing. It's the best restaurant in Milton Keynes. We will definitely be visiting again!

It’s hard to describe the feeling of being welcomed at Nonna’s. All the team make you make you feel at home. They easily answer any questions you may have and you can relax and enjoy the food and wine. Great quality food and a great atmosphere makes this place the place to go. Sam, Antonio and Damian do all they can to make your dining experience the best it can be.

Had an amazing time would recommend to anyone, food was so good and they had good deals on! Out waiter for the evening was harry and he was unbelievable so friendly and welcoming

Can’t fault this place, food is decent, service is always on point and the staff are lovely! Special mention to Sophie who always looks after us when we visit! If you’re thinking about going then stop thinking and do it!

The service was excellent. Our host was Tracey and she was polite, efficient and friendly. The food was good and well presented. The pub is closing shortly for a much-needed refurb.

Had a lovely time celebrating after doing some wedding planning. Tracey was a fabulous server and couldn’t have done more to help us. Very attentive, funny and friendly. Very happy and we will be back :)

We recently went out for food and drinks at the swan, we was served by Tracey and we couldn’t fault her service. She was very attentive and friendly, thank you for looking after us we will definitely be back! 😀

Sophie was great behind the bar! She had some great banter, peroni was great!

Tracey is my favourite person ever! Nothing is ever too much and she is the main reason I come back time and time again.

My partner and my went last night and were very impressed. Evie was lovely and took out while order without writing it down! Food came at perfect intervals and was cooked to perfection. Will be going again.

Harry and JV were amazing! Thankyou so much! The steak sandwhich was superb !

Really lovely meal, nice place and great service from Harry and JV

Went in for lunch with the family. Amazing atmosphere. Staff couldn’t do enough for us and the food was superb. Even met the GM Harry. What a guy. Will certainly be back

Never park at this pub! I parked recently to meet some friends, paid my parking fee of £2 and still received a fine from Euro Carparks (third party). Avoid as there are better pubs in the area.

Our waitress Evie was so lovely and went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met. Food was delicious!

Brilliant local pub, great food. Harry behind the bar is always so unbelievably welcoming with our kids, always makes sure they get food quickly and a good spot to sit. #HarryforPresident

Harry was the bartended and he was great. I would highly recommend.

Excellent meal and really good service. Harry looked after us really well. The place was very friendly and welcoming. Loved the sea bass especially.

Lovely place..Staff very friendly and helpful. Good selection of food and it was presented beautifully.

Only went in for a quick drink but the service was very quick and the manager Natalie was lovely and chatty, will definitely be back!

Shocking experience food is awful and the service is even worse !! AVOID

Terrific service from harry and jv. Very banterous lads

harry and jv have great shirts delivered style and swagger with our drinks 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾!!!

The service was shocking. No one had a clue what was going on. Ordered a selection of sides and starters to all come together. The charcuterie board wasn’t even a board but a plate of ham with some olives throw on. Then a longer wait for the rest of the dishes which were then cold and the fries order wasnt correct. The halloumi was over seasoned with paprika on top.

we were served my katie today who was so helpful

What a beautiful pub to have dinner at! I will definitely be coming back again with the food and drink being second to none. Service was quick and efficient, a lovely young server Talia took great care of us. Freindly servers and great atmosphere here, we highly recommend.

Came to the swan the other day and the lovely Talia served us. She was attentive and couldn’t do enough for us, the food was amazing and so were the drinks. By far the best experience yet due to the friendly service and warm atmosphere!

We were served by Tracy. Service faultless.

Great Pub - good food. Staff helpful resolving parking issue

Lovely pub, harry was super friendly and attentive!

Excellent experience. Harry and other staff very helpful. Quality bar lunch and Daphne (dog) made very welcome

Debbie was brilliant making me welcome and ensuring i had my delicious cod and chips teady in a short time. The mushy peas were a revelation. Really memorable!

Lovely find thanks trip advisor. Perfect sunday roast. Service was at times quite slow as the pub was busy but Natalie was a wonderful waitress.

Great food and service from Harry. Very welcoming and accommodating. Will definitely come back

Great place, good food and lots of parking

This man had a splendid experience for our bottomless Brunch. Big thanks to Hazza and Nats for the beveraginos.

Harry and Natalie were fantastic

Excellent venue for a family Sunday lunch. Our 4 grandchildren (aged 5 - 9) had plenty of choice & 2 of the adults enjoyed their vegan lunch. Our waitress was amazing. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Food overall was passable but I'm afraid to say that the service was well below expectations. Soft drink order wrong Starter order forgotten 'Alright' cheeseburger Overcooked broccoli (but good pork belly) Nobody came by to ask if main courses were ok, in fact nobody came back to the table at all & we paid at the bar on the way out Bar manager(?) seemed to spend most of the time outside smoking

Food is good. Has a big beer garden. I enjoy it here

Exceptional service they went out of their way to cater for my needs as a customer. Got the 5 star treatment. Great food. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Katie looked after us all evening. Had a great evening

Harry new manger….brilliant service best pub in the area !

One of my favourite pubs with a great vibe, beautiful furniture, free parking, friendly staff members, and outstanding food. I have visited the pub many times in the past and have always been satisfied with the service. I would highly recommend it.

First visit to the Swan and we were very pleased with everything from the friendly staff (particularly Debbie) and the food and service. Will certainly visit again

Amazing service and great food!

Very loud family in there at same time which ruined visit along with one of the mains being very small. Only 3 mouthfuls of mash and 3 green beans on the plate . For a chefs special being sausages mash with beans and onion rings it was rubbish. Undercooked sausages, barely any mash or veg. I would have been more full up after a starter.

Great pub. Sunday roasts are 10/10 !

Enjoyed a lovely roast with great service, the staff were all friendly professional and couldn’t do enough for us, will be returning

Fantastic food, highly recommend. Service was excellent and it was a very comforting atmosphere. 5/5.

10/10 couldn’t find a single thing to complain about, Travis made is special 🏆🏆 Amazing place

Nice pub/restaurant with a roaring fire and great food. Debbie service was great.

Lovely evening at The Swan as always. Dinner with my brother before he flies back to Australia Amazing food, steak was delicious, perfectly cooked. Very friendly & helpful staff, thanks Nat for giving us your time and recommendations! Great customer service 😊 You made my little bro 'eat his Australian hat' with your vegan custard! See you again soon. X

We live miles away but come at every opportunity. Always great atmosphere, very dog friendly and fantastic food and drinks

We went here last night for a Valentines 3 course dinner. It was lovely. Soft music playing. Soft lighting and personal table layouts. Food and service good. Recommend it.
