Paris House in Central Bedfordshire

Just a delightful to enjoy the finest good and some spectacular dishes beautifully served.

First visit for a birthday dinner last year. Food was very well presented. Only seasonal tasting menu was on the menu. The young waitress was rapidly shooting out the ingredients like a machine gun. She did the same to other diners too. And we all had to laugh as this is supposed to be fine dining. Obviously it was not funny. Overall it was not as I expected in a' fine dining' experience. The restaurant owner deserve better ratings if not for the poor experience. Final bill was nearer to £300 for a couple. Don't think I will be back there.

Delicious food, cocktails and wine and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Second time enjoying the delights and wonderful dishes of the taster menu at Paris House. Warm and welcoming service from the moment we arrived, excellent attentive service throughout and all dishes and wines were explained with such care and knowledge. A very special establishment to dine for any occasion!

The food and service were excellent—definitely a luxe experience, albeit on the expensive side. One suggestion: the background music could be better curated to enhance the ambiance. Tracks from ABBA, Adele, and Take That give it a more casual, mid-level feel, which doesn’t quite align with the five-star atmosphere you're aiming for.

Overall it was okay. Some of the courses well presented. Beautiful surroundings with deer roaming. None of the food was a wow. No blasts of flavour. Served nuts for one course although had requested nut free due to severe allergy. Staff not ‘Uber attentive’ as stated on their website. Was disappointing, glad I experienced it but wouldn’t return.

Gorgeous food. Amazing experience for a special occasion. The waiters were well trained knowledgeable and extremely courteous. I can't wait to go back.

The service was fantastic, great atmosphere and as for the food. The flavours and textures were amazing. Will be back and will pair the wines next time.

We were hugely fortunate to be able to make a second visit to Paris House this year. We had a super experience, once again everyone was so welcoming and the food with the wine pairing was spectacular.

This is a beautiful restaurant, in gorgeous surroundings. The service was excellent as was the food. I was here for a business lunch but would certainly visit again for a private, special occasion.

Excellent service. Attentive, knowledgeable and highly professional staff. Exquisite food. Lovely evening.

Good rooms nice stay good hostel

The whole experience was wonderful. Food was excellent and very well presented and explained by our servers. Wine list was extensive and very pleased with our choice. All round excellent dining experience in a beautiful setting. We shall absolutely return.

Amazing experience, food was outstanding super delicious, service exceptional, wonderful experience

My first visit to Paris House was over 20 years ago and I must say every visit is wonderful . Fantastic chef, excellent service and a wonderful lunch .

Disappointing. Lovely setting. Service slow. Older man serving cocktails didn't speak. Younger wine sommelier was lovely friendly & informative. Food was bit underwhelming but presented nicely.

Fantastic place for a special occasion. Service, food and location are superb.

Absolutely phenomenal. Food and wine were beautifully presented and exceptional. All served perfectly by knowledgeable staff.

Pleasant, friendly staff. Welcome atmosphere. 4Course lunch was delicious, very tasty and well proportioned. Another visit soon will be looked forward to.

Fantastic experience- amazing food and great staff. A memorable experience for my wife’s birthday

This hidden gem exceeded expectations! The staff were incredibly attentive, and the food was simply exquisite. We'll be returning. The only minor suggestion would be to consider a different musical atmosphere. While the current playlist is enjoyable, a more refined ambience, perhaps with French music or classical pieces, might complement the venue's charm.

Great food and lovely not to be rushed. Expensive but worth it for a special occasion . Only criticism, if you are serving marmite butter, then at least make it taste like marmite , after all, you either love it or hate it and those who hate it wouldn’t eat it anyway . Maybe try whipped marmite butter ?

Over the years we have been here a number of times and with different owners/chefs, sad to say our last visit was the second of two rather disappointing evenings in the last couple of years. Setting is lovely, interior has changed to allow more covers hence not as intimate or exclusive as before and the food was good but for the price, ambience and expectations. Its not a restaurant we would return to or recommend. Sorry!

Beautiful tasty food and knowledgeable staff

Excellent original interesting food, superb appropriate and informed service. Sometimes restaurants can go over the top.with service not here it added to the enjoyment and the timing was perfect. Setting is out of this world. A truly wonderful afternoon. Looling firward to our next visit.

1st class restaurant within the most amazing setting with excellent service and superb food

Exceptional. Michelin standard. It's been a while since I had a meal like this!

Service was great, food awesome, location amazing. Will return with friends.

To celebrate my husbands birthday, we had the 6 course tasting menu. Started off with some canapés which is an explosion of different flavours in your mouth. 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 desserts with some bread all delicately plated. This is an experience and worth every penny, I recommend. Oh and they gave my husband a birthday card which I thought was a nice touch.

The food is exquisitely created and presented beautifully in an attentive way. You are taken on a journey of tastes, textures and sights. This sensational experience is perfect for a special occasion.

This was a super celebration for Mum’s 80th birthday. Everything was perfect and the food was really special and different, with variety between courses. We have several non-drinkers in the family who were not with us on this occasion, but with them in mind we were particularly impressed that Paris House caters well for alcohol-free choices as this aspect of a meal is often overlooked.

Great good - service immaculate - terrific location

An excellent meal in a beautiful setting

A fantastic experience, amazing food, superbly presented all with great service. A very friendly and relaxed place to go.

As a solo dinner, it was a great dining experience. The service was consistent across all diners. The staff were all on the ball and very pleasant. Every dish of the 6 course tasting was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. I particularly enjoyed being able to taste the flavours of each dish and part of each dish. The venue is also very lovely and being offered to have a drink outside to take in the scenery is a nice touch.

Relaxed atmosphere and excellent food. Attentive but unobtrusive staff and a personal touch with a card for the special occasion for our visit. Not a single thing we didn’t like.

Absolutely fabulous. My grandchildren (15&16) loved it as did I. Everyone was most attentive and the food was exceptional. Would recommend to anyone.

Very impressive cookery skills and presentation to match

Excellent service in a beautiful building in a gorgeous setting. Food was fabulous overall though we didn’t quite get the last course (duck egg custard tart - little flavour and strange texture). Wine pairing was the star of the show though. Hats off to the sommelier!

We had a super lunch. Food was amazing, service was excellent and unobtrusive. Pace of service was perfect for us, relaxed and allowing a chat between courses. Didn’t disappoint.

Just a lovely experience-had the 6 course pescatarian tasting menu, light confident delicious cooking, charming informative service, superb

About 2 years ago recommended Paris House to friends from abroad who appreciate fine dining. I had been lucky enough to visit a couple of times in the past for important celebrations and knew they would enjoy it. We had a wonderful meal and our only regret was that we couldn't opt for the paired wines as we were driving. So promised to do so next time they visited. We had a truly memorable time. We started with cocktails and amuse bouche (including tiny melt in the mouth beignets) on the terrace overlooking the parkland. Then the amazing menu opting for for the cheese course too that meant seven courses . From the Marmite butter (one option, not the only one for those who don't share my love of the yessty concoction) to the Custard tart, the food was delicious,the presentation artful and the overall experience faultless. c and amuse bouche (including melt in the mouth tiny beignets). We headed back to the terrace for coffee. The service was excellent, friendly and perfectly paced and we appreciated the really interesting information about the wines and their producers too.

Having been here on a number of occasions I have to say this visit was outstanding. It’s always very good but I think everything about our visit was just superb. The tasting menu was a delicious experience and when asked by the very attentive staff which course was the best it was a difficult question to answer as everything was spot on. Look forward to our next visit, thank you.

Fantastic, we had a lovely afternoon with great food and great service

Four of us enjoyed an excellent meal at the Paris House last Friday. Faultless. Highly recommend this totally unique restaurant in the Deer Park at Woburn Abbey.

We had been avoiding Paris House since a terrible night 17 years ago. Finally, we got over it and tried again! We were glad we did because the atmosphere and service has improved greatly and the food was phenomenal. The crab rillette entree was our favourite and a great way to start. They offer a multi-course tasting menu, as many fine dining places do, so you have to be easy going with your tastes. I even enjoyed the custard tart, which is something I would usually avoid. From drinks on the terrace watching the deer (we were lucky with the weather) to the final course, we enjoyed it immensely. Only criticism is maybe we could have a little more in each glass for the wine pairing?

Brilliant service by very knowledgeable staff. Amazing food that catered to our dietary requirements. The effort and skill that was put into every dish was fantastic. Highly recommended.

We’re always assured of a wonderful meal every time we dine at Paris House. Amazing location in the middle of a deer park. The food is absolutely delicious, with some Asian influence in some of the courses. Each one hits the mark and is brilliantly executed. The staff are lovely - enthusiastic and knowledgeable too. We have never been disappointed at Paris House.

Exceptional food, high level of service in a great location.

Outstanding in every respect. Excellent Food, Excellent Service, Excellent Venue

I have recently moved near the area plus it was my birthday so the perfect excuse to book. the drive up to the restaurant is breath-taking and so is the actual building. We was greeted with a warm welcome and shown to our table, the restaurant is nicely done, tables well spaced & had a nice relaxed feel. We had the tasting menu which started of with some beautiful canapes, perfect to get the taste buds going for what is to come, I have to say each course was delicious, beautifully presented & well balanced, I honestly couldn't fault it. The front of house team were very knowledgeable when it came to describing the food & also the history of the building and the sommelier told some really interesting stories about each wine. If you haven't been go, its well worth it and I will definitely be back.

I'm not used to fine dinner so this was a real experience! Highly recommend and hope to be back soon! Go have fun and live a little :) Be prepared to be fussed upon in all the right ways! Enjoy the incredible tastes your mouth will be part of! YUM!! Well thought out space, food, drink and processes. Well done Paris House Team. Outstanding!

The only negative is the inability to choose from a menu, as it is a set tasting menu, which always includes dishes which are not necessarily appreciated by everyone. Great thought goes into the preparation of every dish though.

Fantastic meal at Paris House. Definitely worth every penny. The food was amazing so was the hospitality and knowledge shown by all the team members. We will be back to have our tastebuds surprised and delighted again.

Stunning food in a stunning environment. Expensive, but definitely worth it for a special occasion. We had a great time and the staff were very attentive and helpful. Coffee on the terrace completed our lunch perfectly.

Stunning as always. The Hamachi main course and English Strawberry dessert were particular favourites of ours on this beautiful summer menu.

We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Incredible experience, looking forward to next season’s menu. Can’t recommend high enough

Delicious food with some excellent and good dishes on the tasting menu. Wine pairings complimented the food perfectly. Service and attention to detail is what makes this 5*.

Joined the NZ vs Aus wine evening with five course taster menu. Some very interesting wines and excellent food. Each course was memorable for flavour and texture. Looking forward to next visit

A charming place and a delicious culinary feast. Worth the price.

Perfect for a special occasion. Staff were knowledgeable and perfect. Made us welcome, laugh and smile

Party of 4 visiting Paris House for 1st time. Of the 6 courses, we couldn't decide on a favourite although the tomatoe and beef courses were amazing. Special mention the skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly waiters and sommelier who helped made the evening.

Lovely warm welcome . Fabulous 4 course lunch. Excellent value.

This is fine dining at it's best at the point where exquisite tastes and flavours appear with every course. Service is very attentive without being obtrusive and the location in the deer park is stunning. We come here several times each year for a meal with family or a quiet meal for two. It is a delight.

Absolutely loved Paris House, food was amazing and staff were lovely

Food was excellent as always, great service in a lovely location. Howie the wine man was helpful and on good form as usual. Only disappointment was being charged £8 per head supplement for switching the dessert on the four course menu. I know times are hard but bearing in mind how many times we've been to the Paris House and how much we spend, I think it was unnecessary. Back again on the 16th August but don't feel as 'in love' with the place now which is a great shame.

We were a party of seven and had a wonderful lunch celebrating numerous important birthdays and everyone (across the generations) had a wonderful time. Excellent food, fabulous wine and non alcoholic options, the service was outstanding and generally a fabulous day.

Excellent food and service as always. A seasonally varied menu means repeat visits are always a welcomed new adventure

Arrived and nowhere to park - not a good start. Found our way inside and greeted by the restaurant manager who is an interesting and welcoming gentlemen. Felt a little pushed to sit at the table inside rather than enjoy the warm weather outside. However, our request to sit on the terrace was accepted and we enjoyed a delightful cocktail overlooking the park. From there sadly it went downhill. Sat at the table inside at an unclothed table with a view of uncleanliness; dirt under the next table and the window full of cobwebs. Food surprisingly average and lacked flavour and textures off such as the gel on the strawberry dessert contained too much setting agent and the seasoning was lacking but the food intolerances were exceptionally well catered for. No-one did a check back so assume they don’t feel the need. Wine was well chosen and sommelier is a very interesting chap but felt the wine flight was overpriced at £52 for just over a large glass (280 ml) in total. Lady who explained what the dishes are just muttered in a monotone voice and neither of us or the next table understood a word which caused a comment between us. £250 total bill for two for lunch we felt was a tad OTT. 1 star for location and 1 star for friendliness and service by the restaurant manager and sommelier. -3 for the food.

Brilliant, the menu, the wine flight, the service, the setting all fantastic. Howie and Thomas were excellent, what a brilliant experience it was. Thank you.

Outstanding food, good atmosphere, excellent service.

What a fantastic place Set in stunning grounds we sat outside with a pre drink and watch deer grazing. There was no rush from staff It was nice that only one of us could have the pairing wines The service is very friendly and the sommelier was so knowledgable and gave stories of the wineries The food is fantastic. It is not classic as you would expect and this is a plus, but the little twists make it so good. The team get every bit of flavour out of the ingredients The atmosphere is lovely and being only about 10-12 tables there is no noise and you could speak in normal tones. The deer roaming past the window added to this

I recently dined at Paris House, and it was an exceptional experience. Nestled in the picturesque Woburn Estate, the restaurant combines a rich historical ambiance with contemporary elegance. The food was extraordinary, each dish reflecting meticulous craftsmanship and high-quality seasonal ingredients. The staff were outstanding, offering warm and knowledgeable service that enhanced the overall experience. The setting itself, with its unique history and beautiful surroundings, added to the charm. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy fine dining in a stunning location.

Third time we have experienced the magic and theatre of Paris House first time with friends and once again it didn’t disappoint- stunning food and a glorious setting we will be back!!

I would have preferred a table slightly away from other guests. You could hear literally everything the people next to us were saying. We were seated opposite the staff station so I would ask not to be seated here next time.

Beatifiul place, Amazing food, Fantastic and personal sevice

Excellent food, staff, location and ambiance. This, as they say, is the ne plus ultra of culinary delights. There's nowhere to go from here. Set in a deer park, arrive early to enjoy an aperitif and the views of the deer. The atmosphere is relaxed, tastefully designed and not over bearing. An aperitif each, glass of wine each, tasting menu, coffees and tip cost 2 of us £315.

Absolutely amazing place! Delicious food, outstanding service

Incredible food in a beautiful setting and the service was fantastic.

Staff were polite, attentive to needs, respectful of the groups conversations, didn’t interrupt unnecessarily- outstanding information about food and wines served. The food was simply amazing, everyone enjoyed everything. The wines were just so specific to the food served. Overall each of the four of us had the best evening possible

Unique setting in a substantial deer park that is part of the Woburn Estate. Superbly prepared and presented fine dining. Excellent staff who ensure a memorable experience. Perfect for a special occasion or to treat yourselves!

Dining with friends (their first time at Paris House) for a special occasion. Fabulous.

Location was stunning and food was superb. Staff very attentative. No background music, so was very quiet. Would absolutely go back

We were warmly welcomed, followed by phenomenal service. Our server was so knowledgeable, we asked where food was scourced, also being celiac i was checking things for allergy ect. Amy was able to answer all our questions which alleviated any concerns, this lead to truly wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary.

The food is excellent and this place provides a unique opportunity to watch a herd of dear graze majestically feet away from where you dine in a spectacular setting.

Lovely dinner in a fabulous setting with great service .

Exquisite food, beautifully presented, and complemented by delicious wines. The Sommelier was interesting, knowledgeable, and goodnatured. It was a 80th birthday treat for my friend - she described the whole experience as absolutely delightful. Thank you so much for making us so welcome.

A fabulous explosion of smell, flavour and texture - wonderful service, excellent cooking - genuinely delightful!

We've celabrated many events at Paris Hose many time over the past 30 years and always enjoyed it, as we did again yesterday. The service, the overall experience, and the food are all top notch and if I was pushed to provide feedback, I would say that at lunchtime, offering a flight of wines can make some diners a bit noisy! Nothing that can't be ignored though. We'll be back!

I did not dine out but the place and its ambience was amazing.

very good service, very knowledgeable about the food and drink.. even the no alcoholic cider I had! food was awsome and could not fault it. next time we will do the flights with the meal and get a taxi!

Food was outstanding and we were really happy with the service. Would highly recommend.

Amazing meal as always. I visit a couple of times a year and never disappointed. Love it when a new menu comes out. Service was wonderful, not too over the top. The menu was a challenge as I am a fussy eater but loved all the courses. Even the deer turned up for a picture.

Gorgeous food relaxing atmosphere. Looking forward to a revisit.

Very enjoyable lunch with friends Glorious setting Excellent service Fabulous food

We had the tasting menu, with wine in the private dining room. Everything was fabulous - the service, the food and the wine matches were perfect. The sommelier knew the wines exceedingly well and gave a great description and history of each wine,

We visited to celebrate a birthday and will definitely be returning. The service was exceptional and the staff were all so friendly and knowledgeable. They were very attentive to allergies, including having a separate copy of the menu printed to reflect the difference in dishes as well as discussing the adjustments made for the allergy when bringing each dish out. The sommelier was wonderful as well, describing the wines but also adding in personal touches about the regions they came from and his knowledge of the area. We were given time and space to enjoy each course which I appreciated, as at no point did we feel rushed or pressured.

An absolutely fabulous lunch. There was nothing to fault. Delicious food, beautifully presented and a taste sensation. Wonderful wine pairing. The most fabulous setting. These guys have definitely got it spot on. Can't wait to go back.
