The Green Man in Central Bedfordshire

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

Busy Mothers day weekend but still nice pleasant atmosphere.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Pleasant lunch time pint on the Greensand Walk

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...

We really enjoyed our visit to the Green Man for Sunday lunch, we were celebrating our daughters 30th birthday. From the moment we arrived the staff made us very welcome. The service and food were both excellent. We look forward to returning to this very...

We visited as a family and throughly enjoyed our mains - the kids burger and chips was huge and the adults mains were equally filling and very tasty. In fact, the gluten free Cajun burger was the best burger I have ever had. The bun...

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...

Tried this pub today as myself and husband are trying a different pub for lunch every week. Food was good however the staff should learn that you can hear everything they say behind the bar when complaining about their customers, very poor. Very disappointing and...

Sunday Roast at 4PM, two people, two courses + bottle of red at £86. This was a pub we were looking forward to dining at so feel rather disappointed having to write this review. On the plus side the Green Man is decorated to a...

Comfortable surroundings in the bar area. Had a really good couple of snacks & coffee. The Eversholt Sausage Roll with a brown sauce relish was excellent. The Goatscheese Toastie hit the sweet spot. Service was reasonably quick despite a busy restaurant.

Fantastic little pub with incredible food. Highly recommend.

Good lunch today Starters were tiptop - Camembert, crab beignets, soup (padron peppers werent as hot not as well seasoned / salty as last time which was a bit disappointing Sunday lunches were good Meat excellent Roast potatoes could have been a bit crispier and...

On behalf of the Aston Martin Owners Club I I would like to thank you all for such a splendid evening last night . Everyone thought the food and service was par excellance. We will be back very soon .

Good pub with food at a great view from the rear.

Lovely Sunday Roast.. staff so helpful and friendly

Friendly staff house wine was fab as was the food had.

Really excited to try this pub as heard amazing things... But it was disappointing. The staff were not very welcoming to us, and the Sunday lunch wasn't great. Soft mushy nut roast and undercooked carrots and roast potatoes. Such a shame.

Happy staff, great choice of quality pub food. Comfy seating and ambiance

We dined here last night. Pies as good as ever and friendly service. Our £39 bottle of Pinot Noir however fell way short of the mark. An unacceptable nose of sulphur/ bad eggs which was met with a “ yes it’s certainly unusual” from waitress...

Nice pub with a good atmosphere. Sunday Roast was ok and service was friendly but a little slow.

The two of us walked in mid-afternoon looking for a main meal. Unfortunately, it was bar snacks only at that time, so we were about to leave when the young lady behind the bar stopped us. She offered to speak to the kitchen staff to see if they could help us out. We said not to worry, but she insisted, 'No, please let me ask for you'. A short time later, we were happily eating our fish & chips, peas, and tartare sauce. Top rated customer service, staff definitely went above and beyond. Oh yeah, the food was top-notch, too, so we highly recommend The Green Man....

Visited for lunch with a friend and ordered off the lunchtime special menu which is very good value for quality of the food. We both ordered soup followed by pie and mash. The potato and leek soup was well presented and flavoursome, with the rarebit...

Stopped here for lunch today and was amazing. Nice to see some working fires in place too. Highly recommend the pie! We will certainly be back.

Food and service excellent, Emily T was lovely, we will be back.

Popped in on the off-chance at lunch time. They have done an amazing job on the decor and its a lovely place. Food was also exceptional, if anything the only complaint would be it was very generous sizes if you can class that as a...

Really great food in a lovely country pub

Had a wonderful meal celebrating a friend’s birthday. Would highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere, staff very friendly. Food was awesome. Certainly recommend booking a visit!!

We popped in this evening as we were passing by and were very glad we did! The staff were all so lovely and helpful and the food was amazing. The service was very quick, even though they were fully booked and everything tasted spectacular. We will definitely be back again!

Great food, burger was out of this world. But whole experience let down my clueless bar staff. No empathy, forgot our order, Eventually served wine in duty glass. Waitress that served us was very good. Good atmosphere.

Went for a big birthday celebration..parking was an issue..It was busy and the carpark full.. Food was amazing.... And the staff were really helpful in bringing the cake out and singing happy birthday. Only reasons for 4 stars and not 5 was that it was really cold even with a jumper on.. Still shivering.

Amazing food and service always our go to

Expensive price for beverages, Plenty of room to sit and eat, bar staff friendly, has a back garden also I do believe and parking also. Cosy snug area

Excellent food and very pleasant surroundings. See

Good food, drink and service. Staff very pleasant and attentive. Food arrived timely. Good very tasty compliments to the chefs. Just a real shame it wasn’t busier on a Saturday night but I suppose it was January and people are counting the pennies. But we’ll...

Very good food, good service, reasonably priced.

Visited with a small group of friends in early December. Friday lunchtime so was reasonably busy as you would expect. We all went for the set lunch menu which looked good value. Huge starters and very nice pies. All well cooked. Recommended

Very nice food, if somewhat limited menu. I'm much happier with the situation that way around, though. The service is very good, too. Well worth a visit.

Lovely pub.Stopped off for a drink and warm up on our long walk.Made very welcome,and dogs are also allowed and water bowls provided so our fave could join us in our round.

We've visited this place once or twice a month for over a year. The food is outstanding (especially the pies) and the menu's interesting - some attractive alternatives to the more mainstream offerings.]. My (vegetarian) partner and (non-vegetarian) I are always a bit spoiled for...

Very good food and friendly people... Excellent pie... Delicious polenta cake...

Cant fault anything - Sunday lunch was amazing, starters delicious, puds scrummy! Beautiful building, friendly staff, quick service and well priced. And dog friendly too! 10/10, will definitely be back.

My partner and I visited the pub this week. First the positives: the food is amazing and great price, staff are fantastic and the atmosphere is lovely. My only negative is that I was cold all night! Would have great to have the radiators on...

Lovely roast, want to copy the decor in the restaurant and felt like we were in The Holiday when sat in the bar looking at the view from the window! Only wish we lived close enough to not have to drive 😁

Very well furnished, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff and great food.

Somehow I’ve never managed to eat at the green man in the 20+ years we’ve lived in Ampthill Gang of us had a pretty boozy dinner in their last night Really good Stylish setting Friendly (and patient) service Nice to chat to Candice, who is...

Beautiful village, beautiful pub, amazing food, top notch service. Emily was a brilliant attendant for our lunch, we were the first in the pub for lunch, it soon filled up but the high standard of service was maintained throughout our visit. Had a 2 course lunch, burger was perfect, crumble was yummy, drinks were lovely. Not much more I can say other than definitely going to come back.

This is the second time we have been to The Green Man and we were extremely impressed. The staff are wonderful. So friendly and professional and genuinely seem to really love their jobs. Laura, Tara and Eloise were fantastic. The food was very well presented,...

Nice impromptu experience at The Green Man on a Thursday night. We enjoyed the Pie+Pint deal (switched mash for fries - they were delicious btw). Of course I needed to try the chocolate fondant knowing the owner won bake off. I thought the fondant would have been a bit bigger for £12 but maybe it's related to the amazing Pistachio gelatto (possibly homemade?). Overall superb experience, I would recommend and I will come back again!

We drive 50 minutes to get here for lunch with friends, we meet for lunch and try to find somewhere different and between Newport Pagnell and Stevenage and this pub is in probably the prettiest village we’ve tried. The pub itself has a handsome bar...

Had the best roast beef ever and all the trimmings. Roast potatoes just so let it down. Everyone wants light fluffy crunchy roast potatoes….. and these just wasn’t that. Over all experience was great .
