The Chilterns Restaurant in Central Bedfordshire

Having eaten at this venue I was pleasently surprised at the quality of the food and Trainee staff , I have now eaten at this resteraunt on a few occasions and I am never dissapointed . having gone through the same process myself I understand how nerve racking this is having gone through the same proces although I was doing a 4 year apprenticeshipso I was classicaly trained so I feel that putting my view down is important and also impartial.The meals are of a good standard and when you considor that these meals are cooked from scratch by students it puts other resteraunts to shame , I will write a more detailed review when I go back but it is well worth going the price is good and the food is of a high quality I am going back again to try more dishes my apoligies for not stating the meal I had as there has been so many all of which if good quality but I had to flag up this resteraunt all I can say is you have to go you will not be dissapointed.

Long overdue review as I was unable to find the TA site for here since the name change to The Chiterns Restaurant. Anyway, managed to get to one of the Theme Evenings last October (Italian night) and it was well supported and extremely good value at £20pp. Food, as usual, was plentiful, well presented and delicious. Popped in today for lunch, which at £9 for three courses is extremely good value. Shame not more people visit to sample their fare as the trainees do a sterling job. Can recommend a visit here if you’re in Dunstable during the week. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

We had an xmas dinner here, cooked by students, it was amazingly good. Service is very good and to a professional standard

Our group of 12 had Christmas dinner at the college last night. Some had traditional Christmas dinner while others opted for the tasty alternatives. All the food (3 courses) was delicious. Ample portions of succulent tender meat and fresh veg. Lovely christmas pud and home made mince pies. We all thouroghly enjoyed our night at the colllege looked after by friendly helpful and attentive staff.

Wonderful cooked food in an exciting setting. Lunch and Dinner, with brilliantly supervised student caterers. Many types of cuisine, with regular themed dinners as well as daily a la carte dining.

What a menu great choices we thought, wrong, you got them all the fish course was far to big but to good to leave in all a wonderful evening enjoy by some 40/50 people all waiting for the next theme evening a snip at £18.00 per person the fish course alone was worth that.

On the recommendation of a friend, called in here for lunch, albeit with no reservation. Fortunately it wasn't busy and we were soon seated after being welcomed by one of the students. Excellent menu with four choices of starter, mains and desserts. At £6 for two courses, £7 for three, it is excellent value and there is a small wine list too. Our meals (guinea fowl and salmon for mains) were well presented, plentiful and delicious. We are keen to try one of their Theme Evenings in due course. The only problem with sharing news of this find is that it will undoubtedly become very popular and I may have problems in getting a reservation in future! Things to bear in mind: this is a training restaurant for students, not a 4* establishment (although the food is certainly better than I've had in some well known restaurants). They are there to learn and can sometimes be a little 'overwhelming' so be patient, your reward will, hopefully, be a delicious meal. Bon appetit! PS 'Hospitality Central' is not a very inspiring name for a restaurant and does not do justice to the quality and service.

Highly recommend. Food of exceptional high standard. Only complaint is that the background music could be turned down slightly.

First class food, nice surroundings, wonderful staff, very good prices. Four of us dined at 19:00 Our meals were - Starter - 1 x Penne Pasta with Mushroom and Pesto Sauce. 2 x Butternut squash soup.
