The Admiral in Central Bedfordshire

Great relaxed local pub. Didn't have any food.

Nice local pub, however travelled here for the Hawkstone beer & Cider that actively being advertised as available. Only to be told it’s being saved for a beer festival which is very disappointing.

Lovely little village pub .Great staff .Great atmosphere prices are good

Small but excellent pub with a good range of Real Ale and a welcoming atmosphere.

This is a local pub and I enjoy it. But I called on a Monday and was told last orders was 22:15 be out by22:30 but the website said open till 23:00. It makes it difficult for people who work shifts or long hours when establishments do not keep to advertised hours ( they are not the only ones) but a very nice place other than that.

A proper "drinkers pub" well worth a visit

Small pub located in a small village, beer good, nice welcome from bar staff, garden out the back, live music but not when I was there, it’s opposite the local duck pond.

Best fish and chips in Shefford

Fantastic atmosphere fish and chios best for miles around great selection if beers ales and sundries

Lovely staff great service brilliant bbq 🍗 But the young 15 year old girl singing tonight spoiled the atmosphere she sound okay for a funeral

Have this little gem of a pub withing 8 mins walk from my house in the centre of the Village of lovely Clifton .Offering some amazing food and great selection of drinks from lovely staff its a great local to have .They also lay on like this weekend the Beer Festival with some awesome bands playing .What i loved i sadly had a heart attack this week so was stuck at home so they Streamed this live event to others and me to watch awesome people awesome local pub..

Comes in handy for a mini pub crawl along with the Golden Lion

Best pub for miles, always a hearty welcome, good food and excellent choice of beer 🍺 👌

New to the area & my local. Have been made very welcome every visit. Just fantastic & properly run with care. Great food & great people.

Excellent takeaway of scampi & chips

Terrific little village pub . Friendly staff good choice of liquid fare , not to be missed . I shall return 👍

Didn't serve food on a Saturday. Disappointed

Excellent pub , great selection of beers The food was excellent, (I had the Admiral burger). Staff very helpful. Lovely village pub. All round 5 star.

Fabulous fish and chips.. Best ever !!

Always friendly and with the occasional good real ales - note, that's REAL ALE, not Kraft Krap. Beer festivals here are fun, too!

Nice Original Beer House Pub beer well kept outside seating indoors largely unspoiled a proper British pub. Friendly staff. Thanks to the response from the owner- as I had assumed wrongly ! now back at home and not relaint on a phone I wanted to add that the Beer was very good, and I look forward to a longer visit next time I am passing.

Friendly staff, small but use space well

We went for fish and chip Friday and the food was amazing, clean and friendly pub but if you plan to eat make sure you book

The Admiral is a superb independent pub. Small but perfectly formed as they say. Lovey food, choice of ales and lager. Music last Friday of the month, the best fish and chips every Friday. Plus a beer festival with bands and other events. My wife loves it as it seems to be a place groups of girls,/ women can go, relax and join in the traditional pub atmosphere.

Old fashioned local very popular ...fab quiz night with food curtesy of landlord great atmosphere all be it a little crowded...

Fish n chips, live music .brilliant.

Great staff who made the night more enjoyable 👌

Good range of good beers, well kept.

Cost and friendly pub. Good service and Birra Moretti on draught.

After reading the reviews we went here on the off chance for Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed. We went very early as we didn't know if we could get in. We were very lucky to get a table as most of the tables were reserved. There were only 2 meats to choose from, pork or beef. There were 2 of us so we had one of each. The portions are huge. Loads of meat and very fresh vegetables. Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, mashed Swede,roasted parsnips, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. We will definitely go back and try the fish and chips on a Friday. Lovely staff. Really cosy with the fire going too. Would recommend.

Brilliant atmosphere Great selection of bitters largers ciders

A random decision to support local and one we did not regret! A superb Sunday roast for my daughter and a veggie one for me, so delicious & generous too 😋Fire on, lovely drink selection, saw Neighbours n their gorgeous dog too, lovely lovely afternoon, thank you, and we will be back

Came in for food on Sunday. We hadn't booked, but luckily a table was available, and we were made to feel very welcome. The Sunday lunch was amazing - we chose beef. A proper Sunday lunch, with ALL the trimmings. Portions were huge and excellently cooked. We can't remember a better Sunday lunch anywhere. Thank you.

Great time played bingo had tea and cake. A great atmosphere.

Nice pub. Nice staff. Good selection of drinks.

Once again, our Delivery Boys’ Review this month is a Takeaway Special! Although we can’t wait to eat out, we are absolutely loving the takeaway option at the moment. Last month, driving through Clifton, we spotted a large banner outside The Admiral, Clifton pub proudly stating, ‘Clifton Village Fish & Chip Shop @ The Admiral, Clifton, Every Friday’, this sounded very tempting, so we decided to give it a go. Once home, we headed straight to the pub’s Facebook page (@theadmiralclifton1) where it was easy to locate the menu and ordering instructions. Ordering is easy, simply call 01462 811069 with your menu choices and card payment. To avoid disappointment make sure you book in advance as collection and delivery slots are limited. Onto the food… John decided to order Haddock and Chips with mushy peas and Kate (John’s wife) chose the Steak and Ale Pie with chips, garden peas and gravy. We booked a 6.30pm pick-up slot at the pub. Collection was quick and easy, efficient and seamless. The pick-up area is at the back of the pub, lots of space, so very easy to maintain covid-safe distances. We waited all of 2 mins and our food was brought out to us in a nice, posh paper fish & chip bag. Once home, the food was still hot, each meal very well presented in its own box. Onto the eating… the meals were delicious! The fish was huge and tasted amazing, faultless in every way, and came with perfect chips. Most importantly, the haddock was cooked just right, perfectly fried with crispy batter, the fish itself was nice and moist with just the right amount of flakiness. I was hugely impressed. The meal also came with a buttered bread roll, just in case you fancied a chip butty. The Steak & Ale Pie can only be described as a proper, traditional pie. Square in shape, thick-crust pastry, cooked to perfection and inside there was a rich filling with chunky pieces of melt-in-the-mouth steak, splendidly complemented with the chips, peas and gravy sauce. Good quality takeaway pub food is difficult to perfect, but The Admiral does it very well indeed, successfully producing gourmet pub meals to eat at home. October 2021 will mark seven years of successful tenure at The Admiral, Clifton for pub landlord John Goodhew. The Admiral, an Original Beer House pub is scheduled to reopen on Monday 17th May following lockdown. John & team have been providing the takeaway service for the pub’s popular Fish & Chip Shop Night every Friday during lockdown, it has proved to be very successful.

I like your pub a lot you do nice food and nice staff to talk to

Such a great pub that I hope survives this current pandemic.

Fantastic Fish and Chips take-away: support this excellent business trying to navigate lockdown, and do yourself a favour at the same time!

Friendly staff.nice food. Just very small

Great, friendly pub. Often has live music/events. a real community hub, and an absolute pleasure to be in. Recommend the fish and chips on a Friday. You can even order for collection.

Great little pub, bit small inside but has a good selection of draught beers and serves good food! Prices are reasonable. Little to no parking, depending on how many residents are parked on the surrounding streets

Lovely little village boozer. 👍😊
