The Green Man in Central Bedfordshire

Our first time here but definitely not our last, lovely little gem!

The food in this establishment is top notch ,we were there last night for a 65th birthday celebration, restaurant was lovely, service was prompt, and staff were excellent, there was 9 of us all had 3 courses , if you want to treat yourself to some great food this is the place to visit and all set in a beautiful village .

Back again for lunch. The food was again excellent and the service very friendly and courteous thanks to the attention of Emily T. Thank you Emily.

Nice place to stop on walk around Woburn deer park. Good beers, great sausage rolls and other bar snacks. Not the cheapest and service can be very slow at times, but it is still a lovely place to stop.

Wow..🤩 just had the most delicious fish and chips of my life.. no exaggeration! Seriously a must try 😋👌

Sunday lunch here today Food pretty good Camembert starter excellent Onion soup needed more seasoning but nice Lunches good - felt the sides were a bit pricey We couldn’t stay for dessert as our eldest needed to get back to Leeds uni and it took almost an hour and three quarters for starters and mains I did mention it and they were apologetic, it was just a bit of a shame as we were enjoying the food and would have happily had a pud (plus there’d have been a bit more money through the till)

I was quite apprehensive about this place due to reading some of the negative reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised how welcoming the staff was, very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and piping hot. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed their meals. The meal came out pretty quickly. We didn't have to wait too long. The waitresses were absolutely lovely. I would definitely go back if we are in that neck of the woods.

Food tasted delicious. However, expensive. £11:50 for 1 beef croquette. Service sadly was poor. Had to ask for our cutlery, not asked once how our food was. Pepper pots empty. Real shame as the food was really good.

not very good, the young server did not wether they sold cider on drought and could not pick out the cider on the menu so I had a coke! The food came and we could not figure out what was the lamb as it was somthered in beef gravy, the server said which it was but it was beef. The servers need more training so would not blame the servers its the owners fault! We won't be returning.

A fabulous village pub with warm and welcoming interior, fantastic food and wines and the staff are the best around. Ella was so attentive, so welcoming and friendly, there when you need them without being intrusive. This place is full of character and well worth a visit.

I called in with a friend for lunch today. We were asked had we booked ? We said No. We were told only three staff were were working that day. My friend asked innocently if the chef was working that day ? The woman said - Well that is very rude !! We were a bit taken aback Well it wasn't rude it was just a question !! We were grudgingly given a table in the restaurant and were made to feel extremely unwelcome. Talk about bad customer service. So we left and had a very good lunch in Woburn - luckily I would point out that I have eaten there very many times in the past with friends

This was our first time at The Green Man. Celebrating our wedding anniversary. We waited for a good 10 minutes before somebody arrived behind the bar and asked if we were waiting to be served. We had booked a table so we decided to go straight through to dinner. We were seated and advised the waitress would return in a couple of minutes to take our drinks order. We waited 20 minutes and finally decided to call someone over to ask for a drink. The food was nothing special given the price and the wait time between courses. The crab fritter starter was disappointing. The delicate taste of white crab meat was lost in the stodgy balls/batter. My very basic pasta rigatoni arrived cold eventually after yet again a very long wait. There were 2 steak dishes on the menu which my husband ordered one to be told they had no steaks left at 8pm. And just to top it all off when asking for the bill, we were given a bill with nothing on it! Very disappointing visit.

Very nice place. Good Atmosphere.

Exceptional food. We came here in April with a friend and were blown away by everything. We booked a stay in Centre Parks in Sep and thought as we were in the area, we'd have dinner here again, hoping that our first experience wasn't a one off. Glad to say it wasn't, the menu had changed somewhat (potentially seasonal) but everything we had was utterly delicious. The staff were great, very friendly and accommodating given we had a 7y.o and a newborn. We were stuffed after having starters and a main each but had to try deserts.. my wife had the sticky toffee which was the fluffiest, loveliest one we've ever tried (not cloying like they typically are) but still decadent. I had the lemon parfait and pretty much licked the plate clean. The kids burger was utterly gourmet, best pattie I've ever tasted for a kids meal and they even knocked us up an off menu side salad at our request. Oh and service isn't included so if you do go, make sure you sort out the staff, they deserve it!!

I only drank there, service great, atmosphere is relaxed

Lovely pub in a picturesque village, great food and reasonable prices.

Great service and food. Highly recommend!

Was our first time visiting the pub and we weren’t disappointed. The Sunday roast was really tasty and the portion sizes were plentiful. Lovely staff and Candice was lovely and took the time to chat with us at the end of our meal! If you are looking for a real homely, cozy feel and super tasty food and a pudding to finish off , visiting The Green man in Eversholt is a must! We will deffo be back for a midweek meal, Enjoy your Crystal my lovely Big hugs from Alane and Lisa . Xx

We were looking for a nice lunch to celebrate our son’s 19th birthday before he headed off on a weekend break later in the day. We had been before & liked the ambience of place & the food. As it was sunny we chose to sit outside in the courtyard. Service was friendly, efficient & polite - our waitress was Emily who was first class. There was a good choice of food on the menu & the dishes were nicely presented &, more importantly, tasty. All in all a very nice lunch in lovely surroundings with great service. Definitely worth a visit & we will be back!

Disappointing food when it all came. The fish was about to go off and the peas were too salty. Efficient service and good atmosphere though.

Today we only came in for light bites and a couple of drinks. What we had was not to bad. Service was a bit slower than normal but friendly. Have been here for meals hear on four occasions. Definitely recomend stopping off here for a full meal, light bites or just a refreshing drink.

The 1st server was quite poor. As although we ordered an aperitif decided she was going to take the wine glasses away without even asking us if we were going to be ordering wine. The barman needs to know when serving Gin & Tonics not to pour the whole bottle into the Gin. Especially when Fentimans mixers as they are very large bottles. Couldn’t help wonder if it was so you ordered an extra Gin to go with your tonic. On the whole the food was decent with the exception of the ribs that were all bone & very little meat & the chicken in the season salad was bordering on being under cooked. Having eaten there before when the food was exceptional I was surprised the menu had been paired down an awful but offer so many burger option. Very strange for a restaurant of that calibre. Personally I won’t ge going back in a hurry as so many more better options close by. Such a shame as in such a beautiful setting & such a lovely old pub.

Located in a beautiful village. The steaks are amazing, cooked perfectly every time. The service is superb, with friendly and attentive staff. The homely atmosphere makes it a great place to visit all year round. Highly recommended.

Lovely experience, pity few items unavailable @ time of visit Good value for money

Ist visit today ...after finding on a Google search...what lovely surprise beautiful pub in a picturesque setting. Food was excellent and service impeccable..such a shame we were only visiting the area as this would be a regular haunt if we lived nearer

Lovely place to sit and there service was decent. The roast were slightly disappointing but the desserts were really well made.

A lovely looking pub in a pretty village but didn’t quite reflect this inside. As soon as we walked in we were given a death stare by the head waitress, to call her surly is to be polite. She was not at all welcoming, threw things down on our table and walked away before we even had the chance to order more drinks or condiments. We almost got up and left after our drinks were ordered. The atmosphere was odd, it wanted to be more of a wine bar, music was loud and everyone is really on top of each other. The waitress got our order wrong, by this point we couldn’t even be bothered to say anything. Maybe coming on a Sunday was our mistake but if you can’t get a roast right then it isn’t very promising for the rest of the menu. Over hearing why chicken wasn’t on the menu was interesting as everywhere else who offer a roast can manage it. If felt like the bar area was prioritised over booked tables in the restaurant. Safe to say we won’t be back. As for the price, you don’t get what you pay for, have had far better, with desert, for the same money.

Greeted and shown to our table by a server who clearly didn't want to be there, or serve or be in that particular job. Perhaps she didn't want us to be here. Plonked our Sparkling water down in the bottle and just walked off. Did we do something wrong? We did consider leaving but we were in for the duration, and it was our first year wedding anniversary. Food was average, one of the pickles on the charcuterie board looked like it had been kicked about a bit, that was definitely inedible. Music was pretty loud but I couldn't see the dancefloor from where we were sat. I am taking a wild guess here, but I think they are understaffed and overworked and that's why tables weren't cleared and staff seemed unhappy. Or it could be that they're not into working in hospitality. Either way, 'I got fed' is the best three words to describe the experience. Try greeting your customers like they are valuable to your business and that you are in some small way pleased pleased to see them.

Lovely pub Fab food reasonably priced. Great staff Highly recommend

I booked the Green Man after it was recommended by a friend. My friend had said they went there with their son and it was a really nice place for dinner. However, when my family and I arrived for our reservation the only way I could describe the welcome was frosty. I had booked dinner as a treat for my husband and our 2 year old came with us. The waitress looked completely confused why we had shown up with a child (the website claims it’s family friendly) and seemed to be completely thrown off by our attendance. No matter, I thought, maybe I had left off that we needed a high chair?! But even after this, the waitress was almost scoffing that we had our daughter with us. Others in the restaurant also looked at us as if we had crashed a wedding. Despite another baby also being at the place.. needless to say they also didn’t stay long. The place itself is fine.. it’s a small pub out the front and then a restaurant out back. It’s pretentious which is nice if you want to dress up and have a nice glass of wine. I don’t think you can advertise being family friendly and also be a winery style gastro pub. It’s identity is a little confused. The food, sadly, was way below average, my knife wouldn’t cut through the beef and I had to leave it on my plate. The only food on offer on a Sunday is a roast and that is the same for children too. Regrettably we will not be going back there as a family.

On arrival very friendly greeting by Chloe who looked after us throughout really well. She is a credit to the place. We had our dog with us and able to sit in the bar area. They had a fixed price menu for Father’s Day. Superb value. £33 for three courses. Excellent portion sizes and food hot and really tasty and as you would expect the desserts were heavenly. Great wine list and lots of choice for those who are driving or just don’t drink alcohol. Lovely outside area too. Highly recommended

Booked a table for Sunday lunch, friendly waitress, spotlessly clean restaurant with a nice atmosphere. I ordered the lamb my wife went for the beef, both cooked to perfection with a good assortment of veg & nice crispy roast potatoes with Yorkshire pudding. Could not fault the food or service, My only slight disappointment is the standard of dress other diners turn up in, I really think when its 13 deg outside there is no excuse for people to go into a restaurant wearing shorts & tea-shirts, Its such a shame people have let their standards slip. It just seems a shame restaurants can’t impose dress code.

Great place for food, drink and atmosphere and great surroundings. Staff very friendly

Beautiful Sunday afternoon in the garden on a visit back from a day out with the partner. Busy inside Sunday service with excellent food comming from the kitchen.

Just got home after our table of 5 had a beautiful Sunday roast here, the beef was hands down the best I have ever had. Prices are very reasonable for the quality provided. Will definitely be returning here.

Love it here, amazing food, service and ambience

A fantastic evening all round! The pub itself feels really cosy and has a great eclectic look. The food was simply delicious, having 3 courses was almost a necessity with the options given and we were not disappointed! The staff were incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive, we felt very well looked after. Make sure you find this hidden gem and give it a go, you'll be glad you did!

Chose to have Sunday dinner here as the reviews looked so good.. but they must be for the weekday menu? As the roast was awful, worst I’ve ever had which resulted in me leaving 70% of the dinner. The one carrot was rock hard. Potatoes are usually my favourite thing on a roast, but these tasted like they had been boiled and then cooked in the oven for 10 minutes. So disappointing. £18 for each roast, £10 spent on extras (cauliflower cheese and stuffing), which is average but it’s just so disappointing wasting money on awful food, especially when I’m going to have to either order a takeaway or make something.

Wonderful setting, great food and relaxed atmosphere. Extremely friendly and well worth a visit just for the food.

We went on bank holiday Monday and it was closed but we used the picnic benches which were nice and it looked lovely.

Never disappointed, lovely meal as always!

Fabulous food and staff. I can't put my finger on it but there was something about the layout didn't seem right. But I recommend a visit for the food 😋 thanks, we will definitely return

Fantastic, friendly and great food! My wife had a lovely time on our visit we were well looked after by the great staff! food was delicious, especially the sticky toffee pudding 😋 it was a treat for my wife as she will be serving customers as a waitress on mothers Day Thank you for looking after us Steve & Helene

Busy Mothers day weekend but still nice pleasant atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious lunch. Food is amazing and literally melts in your mouth. Such a treat and the staff were all so welcoming and friendly. We will definitely return.

Nice beer and comfy chairs, didn't eat but it smelled really good

It's a lovely pub, with very friendly staff and excellent food. Sometimes, it can take a bit longer to get served, but it's worth it.

Warm welcome and had a lovely waitress who looked after us really well 😊food was amazing and will definitely be back 😊 definitely recomend this place

Maybe because I was expecting too much but this place didn’t really live up to my expectations. The staff were friendly enough and we were actually served by Candice for some of the time. The food was ok, good burgers & steak but nothing more outstanding than the usual gastro pub standard. The desserts were a mixed bag, one fantastic (crumble!) one average and one inedible. Decor was cosy but modern. The table layouts are great - not too close. For a Saturday night there wasn’t any atmosphere although it was quite busy. I’m just not sure I would go back…..it’s not bad nor good just average.

The food is stunning. Would highly recommend

Quiet evening but not treated as a burden. Great service, great food.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. The young lady waiting on us was Tara, a real people person who knew how to treat people. Thank you

Lovely pub in a really pretty village. Decor is cosy and the staff welcoming and attentive. My husband and I both had the beef bourguignon pie and it was one of the best I’ve tasted, beautiful crusty pastry with beautiful, rich tasty filling. I had salted chocolate caramel tart for pudding which was equally delicious. After reading previous reviews, I was a bit worried about being cold so wrapped up in case but it was absolutely fine and warm

Lovely evening. Highly recommend.

Visited for a Sunday lunch, the food and service both excellent and in a very pleasant restaurant. I will definitely be eating here again .

THE LANDLADY MIGHT HAVE WON BRITISH BAKEOFF BUT IN MY OPINION DON'T WIN ANYTHING FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Really excellent food in a great country pub. We had to wait a little while for our meal to arrive but it was well worth it. The Hake with chorizo and the lamb and carrot and vegetarian pies were truly scrumptious. We’ll be back soon.

A lovely cosy pub, friendly staff, great food!

Great food. Friendly service. We had the set menu. There was nothing to fault. Best burger I've had in a long time. Lots of GF options which made for a happy wife. Will definitely be returning.

A little gem, one of the best pubs in the area, and probably the whole of Bedfordshire. I've eaten here a few times, and it's never anything short of perfect. Great beer and ales too, and lovely staff. Very scenic views of the village church and cricket pitch from the front of the building; one of my favourite pubs for a sunny outdoor pint! I quite often cycle here. Popular with walkers too, and dog friendly. Will definitely be back soon 🙂

It was the daytime so quiert bit chilli the bar menu not much choice, but what we had was nice was dog friendly

We called in on a Friday afternoon for an impromptu lunch. We were struck at how lacking in warmth, both in atmosphere and any form of heating the place was. Despite the numerous fireplaces spread around the different bar and eating areas, not one of them were lit. The member of staff who greeted us, was pleasant enough. We took our coats off, before seating, but pretty quickly put them back on again as the place was really cold. We decided we would give lunch a miss and after finishing our drinks promptly left to go and find an establishment that offered a warm welcome.

Cloudy Timothy Taylor’s, fire not lit despite the cold weather, understaffed behind the bar. The staff are pleasant enough but the management need to put ‘ Running a Village Pub for Dummies’ on their Xmas List.

It was our first time visiting the Green Man, I had followed your Instagram page for a while so suggested to our friends that we meet here for our annual Christmas get together. It didn't disappoint, the food was amazing and the service matched. Not to forget the cocktails! The Christmas Martini is a must! We will definitely be returning! 5*

A really wonderful bistro style pub. Great service and top class food. The location of the pub is special as well.

Lovely dinner for anniversary. Very reasonable set dinner menu on Tuesday evening.

This was a big to do item on our trip from Chicago to England. We stopped by on our way from London to the Cotswold for our anniversary. It was only the bar menu when we arrived but we waited through a downpour and enjoyed amazing food. It was so incredible that we drove and hour and a half back the next day to give dinner a try and we were not disappointed. Whatever brownie was being served that weekend (10/13) was the best I’ve ever had and I’m truly gonna be dreaming of it forever.

Excellent service. Great food. Good value. Highly recommended.

Love this place!! Incredible food, delicious cocktails, amazing staff. Cosy pub vibes at its best.

Ordered chips in the corner of the bar which took 30 minutes to arrive, we had to ask and it was clear they had forgotten to cook them. We then asked for ketchup and nobody came back. Really poor service guys, you can do better!

We’ve had a meal in the main restaurant and popped in several times for bar meals all have been really good. Today we visited again for a pint and some bar food and although the restaurant was packed and the kitchen was also preparing food for their fireworks event they still managed to feed us too! The sharing platters are spot on. Perfectly set out and full of flavors.

We have been to the Green Man a number of times and every visit has been enjoyable both from food and service. This time I had the pie of the day and a love blackberry and apple dessert and we shared a lovely bottle of Rioja. The food was delicious and the wine was very enjoyable. The service was friendly and professional. All in all a very good experience.

Expensive but good quality food spoiled by unfriendly bar staff and all the dog mess in the garden..

A long wait for courses. The food was ok, when it arrived. Staff pleasant enough. The suggested wine parings with food was amusing, as it is only pub food - definitely not fine dining. Prices are a little high, with simple puddings at £10 a pop. Bang average meal

Had lunch here today, for Mel’s birthday. The restaurant is lovely, cosy, welcoming and nicely decorated. We were very well looked after and the food was delicious as always. Thoroughly recommend this little gem. xx

I have rated this 'average' because generally the staff and the atmosphere was pleasing enough. To be frank the food was disappointing. It was Sunday and the food was limited to a selection of roast and a fish dish. I was area of this when I booked. Frankly I expected more and indeed, better. Despite being called to our table for 8 on time at 2pm the roast potatoes that arrived had clearly been standing around and had that powdery flavour. Surely you can do better than that GM??? Such vegetables that we were served were hidden under the yorkshire and comprised a small potion of cabbage and some peas. That was it. We shan't be back.

Excellent service, and complimentary glasses of bubbles when we arrived for anniversary of wedding party at Eversholt Hall! 😎 Roast was A1 too (pork loin in photo).

Lovely country pub. Lovely pint too!!

As a couple who are vegetarian if not vegan, it often feels like you miss out at many restaurants, the vegetarian or vegan options being the same tired stereotypical choices. At the Green Man however that is absolutely not the case, with even the fixed price menu offering an equal number of choices. What’s more, the chargrilled courgette main course not only looked beautiful and tasted great, but it was a very generous portion size - yes often vegetarian options are not only uninspiring, they are also quite mean considering the (generally) cheaper ingredients. We also had the plant based burger which was equally excellent, with bonus points for great chips and tasty, homemade coleslaw. Finally the sticky toffee pudding was probably the best I have ever had, though perhaps not completely surprising considering who the owner is. The service was friendly, attentive but never intrusive, and the surroundings spacious and comfortable. The way they have combined outdoor, formal indoor and informal pub areas works well and made taking our dog very easy. Finally the whole thing was excellent value for money, with 3 courses for two with drinks and (well deserved) service charge, coming in at significantly less than the cost of a tank of fuel. This was our first visit but it certainly won’t be our last. Highly recommended.

Pleasant lunch time pint on the Greensand Walk

Popped in for a drink with the family. Food smelt and looked incredible! Lovely country pub in a beautiful setting. I was hoping to bump into the owners but alas it wasn't to be. Another time perhaps.

Lovely pub at the end of an excellent walk from Woburn. Had the Fish & chips which was good....nice pint too. Lady serving us was excellent. Worth a visit

I arranged an evening dinner for six couples in late June. The meal was enjoyed by all, the food being of excellent quality. Unfortunately the evening was completely spoiled at its close by the management and staff making a hash of the bill payment ' system ' In summary it took 16 days and 2 phone conversations before the matter was brought financially to a close ! Under no circumstance will I be revisiting these premises !!

Booked in advance and had to leave a credit card upfront and if you cancel within 48hrs you will get charged for the table, booked for 8pm and arrived on the dot but the table was not ready so waited why the waitress cleared and cleaned the table, waitresses were attentive and drinks order taken straight away etc, food came at a nice rate for all 3 courses, starters were good mains not so, ordered steak m/rear but was more m to well and even the steak knife had trouble cutting, the chunky chips were so bid they tasted like a fried jacket potato which was disappointing for a £29 main course. The restraint was full and was very noisy so if you have anyone with hearing aids they will struggle. We had high expectation but all agreed we would not be going back, The green man does good pub grub at an extortionate prices, large chardonnay £12.50, Sorry The green man

Three of us went for Sunday lunch although we didn't have the roasts. Excellent salmon dish followed by perfect white chocolate brownies. Staff were friendly and efficient and the service was nicely paced. With wine and other drinks it was on the pricey side but not unreasonable for the quality of the meal.

We had dinner for 5 people last night, table booked for 8pm and it was just spot on, everything, spot on. It's a pub where you can go for a pint with the locals, or have an award winning meal - what's not to like, a proper pub, finally, thank you!! The entire bill came to £222 for 5 people. We had 2 courses each and a bottle of Merlot, steaks were cooked perfectly, sticky toffee pudding to die for, just a really, really nice meal. Gold stars and credit to the waitresses, proper waitresses who were brilliant. They knew the specials and prices all from memory (rare these days), knew wine matchings for food and were just brilliant, attentive and just did a proper job, none of this bringing your food out before cutlery untrained nonsense, these girls were bang on and knew their stuff - well done, it makes such a difference! We will be back for sure - a wonderful evening, thank you :o)

We were excited to come here given the reviews. We thought we would try the food at the bar menu and if it was good return at a later date to have a meal. We were a group of 6. Started ok with drinks, these...

Lovely beer garden with plenty seating in and out. Beer selection was OK with two handpumps. Food looked OK although menu wasn't largest choice we have seen at pubs.

Really lovely pub, the setting could not be nicer, a real picture postcard location. Beer selection was solid, the wine list clearly had a lot of thought put into it. We ordered a charcuterie and it was excellent. Has to be one of the nicest pubs in the area.

My wife, son and I were out for a walk. We stopped in at the Green Man for lunch and enjoyed our visit very much. The food was brilliant, drinks were cold and tasty and we were served quickly and efficiently! Couldn't have asked for more!

Really delicious food in a lovely village location.

Always fantastic here. Excellent service and wonderful food. Tara is so professional, friendly and such an asset to you as are the rest of the restaurant team. Absolutely love coming here.

Great pub in a beautiful location. Nice selection of real ale on handpumps and very helpful staff.

We came for our anniversary meal and the food and service was amazing as usual, we had our 3 month old with us and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating.

OK, but dinner plate cold, hence the only hot part of dinner was where the chicken sat on the centre of wild garlic mash.

Unfortunately for a Friday evening it was extremely quiet - we were the only ones in the restaurant after 9pm. There was more staff than guests so no atmosphere at all. The food was very good- and the staff were helpful but just no atmosphere...
