The Old Farm Inn, in Central Bedfordshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

First visit here on recommendation of a friend and what a wonderful place The garden is amazing and one of the most kid friendly places I’ve ever been No food was on when I arrived but the landlord went out of his way to make my little boy some dinner What a welcoming place

Always enjoy the food and a drink in the available pub garden.

Massive garden. Decent pub. Camden Pale on tap

Very good home cooked food and friendly staff

Excellent pub great food loverly place

Friendly staff great beer , haven't had food yet as go there for a quiet drink & a catch up with my son usually on a Sunday evening.👍

Lovely pub with only a small amount of real ales but definitely liked the one I had. The garden is a great size with plenty of seating. Definitely worth a look if you're in the area.

Not our first visit but the first time for Sunday lunch and it won't be our last, fresh home cooked food served quickly and efficiently. Even some football banter with the landlord 😁

The food is homemade and excellent. Steak and ale pie, spot on. Shortcrust pastry spot on. Battered fish spot on. Cannot fault it. Tables laid out great. Cosy. Only one downer, only 2 puddings on - Vegan yuk cheesecake or chocolate cake. Good job I was full up, but I thought given the quality of the mains that the puddings would have been cracking. So a disappointment. But still 5 stars. Hopefully pudding next time.

Really lovely roast today & excellent pudding. Service was lovely from the girls very warm and friendly 😊

Fantastic food .I had the Cumberland sausage which was hot and tasty vegetables where cooked to perfection sausage amazing. My wife had the steak@kidney pudding it had a great filling .Came to the table pipeing hot . Jason and the lady who served us where extremely helpful couldn't do enough for us .Will definitely be back soon. Would highly recommend this lovely friendly Pub.

Highly recommend! Stopped here today on a whim as we were on a walk in the area. We didn’t have a booking but the staff made space for us in the bar. Had the lamb shank roast which was incredibly tasty!

I absolutely love the old farm inn. It was an extremely welcoming place that was packed when we turned up. It was full of punters from the local village having a drink and a laugh. This may not be the nicest environment for a family meal. However, when we turned up, we spoke to the bartender, who got one of his waitresses to show us to our table. We were in for quite a pleasant surprise as we were taken through some doors and into a separate room which had a total of seven tables, dark beams going across the ceiling, and an old stone fireplace. It was an awesome dining area that not only had an extremely cosy atmosphere but also was separated from the main bar. Therefore, there was little to no noise from those who were having a night out. The customer service was very good, and the waiters/waitresses were extremely polite and easy to start small talk with. They had an extensive menu of meals with huge variety, although it was a Sunday, so they were not cooking their full menu. We waited quite a while for our food to come out, about 30 minutes, but I'd say it was worth it for the quality of food in comparison to the low prices. There were five of us eating a main meal and a starter each plus the drinks. It came to a total of about £100 which is extremely reasonable for what was bought. In this case, some of the drinks were alcoholic, so all in all, they are very good prices. The waitress came to check on us a few times and to see if we were enjoying our meal she also offered to get anything for us if we would like something else to eat or to drink. The staff of The Old Farm Inn were extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of the place was cheery and welcoming. The food was very good for pub grub (I'd recommend the scampy for your main). The prices were extremely reasonable; even after taking into consideration the alcoholic beverages that were consumed. The only complaint is that the food took a little while to come out; but it was still hot and worth the extra time. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Old Farm Inn to those who wish to have a cheap meal but with good food or to those who would like to go and have a night out and get a few drinks, four stars.

What a great little pub this is,very friendly staff ,food great and choice of beers.if your are local to this area its not to be missed.

My Mum recently passed away, when we held the wake we looked around for catering options. Jason, Vicky, Phil and I am sure several others were involved and were amazing in their support for us as well as providing external catering to our wake venue. It was delivered on time, hot, and very tasty.. They catered for 100 guests and there was still some left afterwards. No one went hungry. Our difficult day was made easier by their support! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Fabulous couple of nights staying in our motorhome in the car park. Was great to catch up with family and friends. Made even more special by Jason and his team. Thank you guys, we will be back H & Martin xx

Amazing tasty food and service, a beautiful country pub ideal for all the family. Will def visit again. The steak an ale pie was to die for.

Very cozy, with terraces to enjoy the English summer and good beer.

Just come back from a lovely meal .Lovely fresh home cooking good size portions and great service

Great little country pub, nice Sunday lunch

Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff. Dog friendly

Great country pub with large garden and plenty to amuse kids. Food was pretty good.

As an update, glad to say that normal service has resumed with a change of staff and very happy to report that the beer (Pride) was up to standard when we visited today, glad to say this is still our local. We’ve been coming here for years and always had good beer (love a good pint of London Pride) but recently the beer has been poor and the bar service just rude. I keep trying to come back as it’s our local, but giving up now. Completely different experience at the Cross Keys, with great beer and professional staff

Good day night freind birthday 🥳 bash

We popped in for a couple of drinks and had a very nice evening

Super friendly country pub with good food and great beer selection. Wine and spirits selection could be better - but still the best pub in the area

Poor service. Guy brings mine and my partners food out and spills my full drink over the table and all over my baby cousin. She gets upset as she’s now soaked and his response was “it’s fine it’s only water” what a joke. Doesn’t even offer to get some towels to help us get her dried off or offer to refill the drink either as he spilt it, just didn’t care about his actions. Shocking behaviour from all the staff, just none of them looked like they wanted to be there and were super miserable. Would not recommend. 👎🏻

Booked a table and our guest turned up at different times but when the ones that turned later on where refused food as they had other customers booked in later on a table of 8 and the food was reserved form them the actual words where you got no hope of getting food as we have a table of 8 coming in later on Dry poor service

Very friendly service, food delicious. Will be going back.

Excellent welcome and service. Standard coeliac menu availability of Gammon and Steak but both were enjoyed. Thanks.

The food was lovely staff very helpful and friendly. Worth the price

Really friendly staff, extremely generous and helpful Love live live it 🥰

Woman behind the bar who thinks she owns the place, I think her name is Sue. Throwing strops like a child and closing the bar for 5 mins claiming there were no glasses when there was a plenty of glasses. Poor young girl behind the bar looked so embarrassed. Takes an age to get a drink anyway without Sue kicking off. Had to ask for our money back because the food took so long. Very poorly run. A couple of people even served themselves because they were sick of waiting.

Top banana. Great local pub with an excellent garden full of swings/bouncy castle for kiddos. Good prices and always friendly.

Had a very nice meal at this pub last week. Excellent food and staff who make you feel welcome. So good we are back next week. Go on , give them a go,enjoy!

Good Food on Steak Night nice staff Would definitely recommend

My children lo e the new pirate ship bouncy castle

Yesterday we had Sunday lunch here with our family. Four adults and two youngsters under 5. The staff were really helpful and service quick. It also has a very large garden and a bouncy castle there today. Highly recommended. As one of our local pubs we will be going again.

amazing pub the gril she was so friendly. Thank you

The Bar it was extremely crowded, took so long to be served. The food was oki. They given me only the food menu, so for the drink I just had to pick up a classic soda, as I thought they must have it. Not very pleased with the location and service. Also, customer pets were allowed inside, I am scared of dogs ,so I wasn’t that happy to see so many dogs around me while I was at the bar. The good thing it was the garden, the bunch was bit funny, but the weather helped me to enjoy it.

Fantastic gardens for the summer and a cosy pub for the winter

I went and stayed with my Best Mate Carly, and we went there for a few drinks.. Never sat inside a sthe weather was too good.. We ordered drinks, sat in the beer garden, and just watched the world go by... I found the drinks to be a reasonable price.. I was drinking Archers n Cokes (double shots😱) BUT never got drunk.. As we were sitting in the garden, I spied a beautiful old car..so took a sneeky pic... The people are so friendly, everyone said, "hello, Good morning, Good bye".. Etc.. I'm going back on a few weeks time to visit my friend, so we will DEF be going to this pub again

Homemade pies are awesome, food is excellent happy going staff

Very friendly staff tucked away in the country has plenty of outside seating

Food quality I reasonable as is the selection given the price

Really cosy, got a nice vintage feel, excellent customer service. Food all cooked fresh and just a really nice place with a good atmosphere.

Really nice, basic country pub.

Good quality food at reasonable prices

Amazing food and great customer service. I really recommend that place 😊

Great ale lovely location spoiled by dirty tables.

Went for a party very well done.

Cosy pub with great food and friendly staff.

Good menu, very reasonable prices, lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic place to eat and drink at with friends/ Family

Lovely selection of beer and nice staff. Proper pub. 👍🙂

Too expensive 50% cheeper at weatherspoons great shame these pubs are struggling to survive the breweries are ripping the tentants off

Lovely little pub with great beer and food. Staff are super friendly. Stopped as part of the Britstops scheme, would definitely use again when passing this way

Good food great beer friendly staff amazing garden for long summer days

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere, staff were very helpful.

Had my husband's belated wake plus belated 80th birthday at The Old Farm Inn. We had it in the garden with marquee as we both have large families. Jason provided everything I asked for, an outside bar, real ale and a lovely buffet. We had several little children who were also provided for with a bouncy castle, football goals and a couple of swings. Made even better by the sun coming out.Very pleasant staff, could not do enough for us and coped well with 140 of my guests. Could not thank them enough, such a pleasant day.

a real good country pub nice garden good food and beer you can also hire the garden and marquee for parties and functions

Nice beer garden with children's playground. Coffee was made with stale milk. I had to take it back.

First pub I've found with Pride on tap post lock down! Great large pub garden, friendly staff and good food

Seemed a bit expensive for an average Sunday lunch.

Food was just awful. Had chicken and beef burger and it was so bad. Felt tricked as the reviews were really good but must be all the locals. The ladies serving us were great and the service was good.

Good value and friendly service.

Brilliant thanks for lovely experience

Friendly local with good beers - Cheers

Very friendly good service and food. Hidden gem.

Lovely pub. Plenty of space between tables outside. Play equipment in the garden for children. Very good at catering for coeliac.

Lovely little pub. Service can be a bit confused, but it doesn't detract from the pub.

Love it here, attentive staff, great location, good food, large gin selection and pet friendly 🌞

We met the Grandparents for Sunday lunch. The pub has a big outside space, so even though it was fully booked, you it didn't feel busy.All clean and tidy. There have been some new additions to the garden recently, a marquee and heater lamps, for inclement weather.Our waitress was lovely, very friendly and patient with us, as we all spoke over each other and dithered over the menu.Love a pub garden on a sunny day.

Walked from the Downs to the pub with my dog had a great real ale in a lovely garden with excellent waitress service

I came to this pub for lunch after I had walked my dogs the staff are very nice and friendly. I ordered a burger with cheese and bacon but I did not get the bacon nor the cheese in the burger no big deal. I asked for my cheese it came out on a tray. The burger was very nice all round very good experience not to expensive just a limited menu.

Lovely village pub with great food, lovely friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us and a really fun atmosphere. We sat outside and didn’t have to wait to be served despite it being busy. Would definitely recommend.

We visited last weekend and had a lovely Sunday lunch. The staff were super friendly and couldn’t do enough for my family. The perfect place if you are looking for proper home cooked food in a nice friendly environment.

We visited the Old Farm Inn for food and drinks for the first time after lockdown and we had such a lovely evening.The staff were all so helpful and welcoming and we were able to enjoy the fantastic garden. The food arrived quickly and was delicious!We will definitely be returning and recommending to others.

Called as a couple on way to Whipsnade Zoo. Friendly staff....lovely little village pub.....thats where the good stuff ends.Very limited menu-just 4 meals plus 3 different burgers....or jacket spuds or sandwiches.Opted for Gammon, chips & egg. The gammon was actually a joint of ham boiled , not a gammon slice and my 2 slices were raw/uncooked in the middle. I was brought 2 more slices on a side plate while the landlady held out her hand to slap my two uncooked pieces into her hand.....so now ive got 2 cooked slices sat on my plate where the raw bits have been.....have they not done the kitchen training about raw and cooked foods? Obviously not. Chips were dried up. I’d have given 0 rating if possible. Im really struggling to see where or how they have got any positive reviews at all.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice food.

Really nice garden, super friendly staff and a delicious Sunday roast. Dog friendly too which was important for us, had a lovely afternoon. Thank you!

Really enjoyed our lunch here. We were lucky that they happened to have a table free. The fish batter was so nice and light. The staff were so helpful and friendly.

We went for lunch and drinks. We didn't have a booking but we were lucky that they happened to have a space. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had the fish and chips which had such a light batter. The dessert were lovely as well.

25 mins for a beer! Even when politely questioned still nothing the girls just didn't care

Excellent garden, lovely friendly staff.

Service was fantastic, outdoor seating area was lovely, really spacious. We didn't feel squished into the garden, lots of room for kids to run around and play still :)

First beer after lockdown. Sunny's unday, table booking only, with table service in a big garden area. Try the Dark Star IPA.

Really lovely place. The staff were all extremely welcoming and friendly. The food was great and the atmosphere was also great. Thanks guys.

Great food and service and good covid precautions in place.

We went to the Old Farm Inn after visiting Whipsnade Zoo. It is a small pub with a lovely welcome.We all really enjoyed our meals, The Steak and Ale Pie was very tasty. We received a very warm welcome from the staff.Would definitely recommend.

Food was exquisite. Service exceptional. Cost very very reasonable. All COVID guidance was followed to the letter and as a family of 6 celebrating a birthday, we all felt so welcome and unrushed...we will definitely go back.

Stopped here as part of a circular walk around the Downs, very friendly and helpful staff, good pub lunch and very dog friendly. All the necessary COVID precautions in place to make us feel safe and I would recommend to any walkers to pop in.

Very nice destination for a walk in the country. Nice garden nice beer

Good food and very cosy atmosphere nice and friendly pub

Very accommodaing of my wifes request for a prawn salad, not on the menu. Typical pub fare. Three real ales, all Fuller's. Some bottled options. Large garden equipped for children. Covered seating as well.

We sat in the garden which is a big space.

Had a lovely shandy and sandwich after a lovely walk in the countryside. Staff friendly and beer and food was great. Looking forward to our next visit. Dog friendly pub too 😊

Worst pub I have been to ever! As a publican I can completely appreciate with the current measures in place, staff can be limited, but 4 of us ordered food to the same table on 2 orders. Both couples with a main each and 1 starter of nachos to share. After 40 mins of waiting our friends got their food. 5 mins after that our cold nachos were brought out and told our food was on the way....15 mins later...making it an hour after we placed our order...everyone else after is had received their mains and their desserts and we still don't have scampi and chips and burger and chips. No apology no care and clearly only takes care of their regulars. Bad way to run a business and I will make sure no one I know is subjected to the again...one of the worst pubs I've been too. Very disappointed. Good luck to those who visit. **Update...woman who appears to be the manager or possible landlady after we obtained a refund for the awful service, came out to her regulars and had a good old laugh about it and you could see her punters popping up like meerkats to see who she was referring to. Looked very shocked that we had clearly heard it all as we drove out. I do honestly believe the race of my partner was a factor, being the only people in the pub not to have recieved their food**

Excellent, friendly service. Excellent food.

Excellent home cooked food friendly staff
