The Pheasant Inn in Central Bedfordshire

First time at the pheasant inn and it won't be the last. Plenty of car park space.The Sunday lunch menu has a good variety of dishes which made it very difficult to pick up what we wanted. The staff is friendly (they are also dog friendly). The Sunday roast was delicious; lots of different vegg. The stuffing was eaten with the Yorkshire pudding and soaked in gravy... Yummy.

We booked late last night and got in. They were really busy but they were still brilliant. Can’t fault anything about our meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was great. We had the beef stroganoff and also the steak/pie. Both the beef fell apart and was very tasty all cooked to perfection. We managed to find room for sticky toffee pudding n custard and gorgeous also. Can highly recommended it’s still a gem of a place to go.

We were in the area looking for a dog friendly place to eat. What a lovely find, we rang up and was offered a table 15 mins later. The place was quite busy which was reassuring, the staff were lovely, the food was delicious. The prices were very good. Lovely place for us and our dogs.

I do not usually write reviews but I felt compelled. The service and food here is usually excellent but last Sunday the food was average and service was slow and poor. Either something has changed management wise or behind the doors in the kitchen. It'll have to improve before I go back again.

Fitted us in at short notice,staff are brilliant.The food was plentiful and delicious,will certainly call in again when visiting the railway.

Came in tonight as a big group for my sister in laws birthday, food was excellent. I had lamb shank and cheesecake for after. Both were delicious!! Staff were friendly and welcoming. Will defo be coming back 👌🏼

Rubbish pub, came here for lunch and was told we couldn’t sit on nearly any of the OUTDOOR seating because we had a dog, only table we could sit on had no umbrellas and a million cigarette buts in the ashtrays, how lovely! Only stayed for a drink because we’d ordered that before anyone decided to tell us. What type of pub doesn’t allow dogs to sit outside, bludy ridiculous!

Went there with family who lived in Prestbury for lunch It was busy but we're seated in the bar and we're served with drinks promptly. Perused the menu and 3 out 4 of us decided on lamb shanks but when we went to order they had sold out so back to the menu. We then all choose something else complete with starters.These were presented fairly quick that we're quickly devoured.The mains came and these were also devoured with much pleasure. Only 2 of us could manage puds that again were superb. Great place to eat and have a catch up with family with no pressure to vacate the table.

This is an extremely well run and pleasant pub and, judging by the number of people there on a Thursday evening, very popular. Far better than many in nearby Cheltenham. The food was excellent. What we appreciated most was: 1. vegetables or salad automatically served with meals rather than having to pay extra as sides 2. Tips left to the discretion of customer rather than imposing service charge. Will definitely be back!

Visited as a family of 5 with our dog. Service was second to none, all of the staff were so lovely, very attentive, and efficient. The staff were incredibly welcoming of the dog and sat us in the area that accommodated dogs. The menu itself has a great selection, but oh my goodness the portion sizes are very generous and it all tasted incredible. The whole family said it was the best pub meal that we have had. The food was absolutely delicious. We can’t wait to return!

Great pub for a family meal. We sat in an outdoor “pod” in the main garden. Huge food portions making it very reasonably priced for both grown ups & the kids. Considering how busy they were, service was efficient & friendly.

We arrived without a table reservation and the pub was heaving, but we're sat at a table within minutes, served a great pint of beer and order taken shortly after my a friendly waitress. The menu was huge, great choices and very very reasonable priced. When to food came we were stunned at the portion sizes and then found the quality and taste out of this world. If you want a pub lunch in this area then this is the place to go.

Hubby and I ate here for dinner as we are staying in the Cotswolds. From the moment we opened the door we were given a very warm welcome. The setting is very pretty and they have a great menu. There’s a pool table and a lovely atmosphere. Servings are generous.

WE have passed by this pub many times, So was quite surprised today. A very good selection on the menu, With keen prices. The Starters were as good as any good pub, As were the mains Came to approx £10 less than most places, win win, Will return

My husband and I were walking the Cotswold Way and the B&B we were at booked us into The Pheasant Inn for dinner that evening (May 17/24). We got there a bit earlier than our reservation but our table was ready and were able to be seated right away. As it was a Friday evening the pub was very busy, however the service was fast and friendly. The food was very, very good. We would definitely recommend a visit to The Pheasant Inn if you're in Toddington, you won't be disappointed!

What a great pub and the most wonderful food. Two couples for Saturday lunch, we booked, good job too, not a table to be had and it's a big pub. Only had mains and desserts, the ladies both had fish pie, I had the gammon steak and the other gentleman the chicken and leek pie. Large portions and beautiful, very busy but we didn't have to wait for the food to arrive. Highly recommend but book, very reasonably priced.

The coffee (cappuccino) was made from a packet, not an espresso machine. Not very good. 123456789111111111111111111

Very friendly pub, excellent service and good food with large portions. Big car park and outside pods if you want privacy

We were walk ins, were offered a table straight away, although we were lucky and it is advisable to book. The menu was extensive with traditional food and lots of new and unexpected items that we hadn't had before. All beautifully cooked, promptly served and the desserts were fabulous aswell. We will definately be going back.... this place is a gem amongst the other usual predictable eateries. Give it a go, you won't regret it!

Yummy food. Great atmosphere. Spacious and clean. Ample parking. Friendly, welcoming staff. Pool table! We would definitely return

We had pre booked our meals for all 15 of us,we were made to feel welcome as we entered the Inn the inn was very clean ,all our meals arrived at the time booked and everyone was very pleased with the food and quality of food. The staff were friendly and very professional. We would differently recommend the Pheasant Inn and will return if we are in the area again. Thank you

We dined at The Pheasant 3 times in 5 days as the food was so good on our first visit. The Lamb Bourguignon was the best pub food I have ever eaten followed by Lemon Meringue pie which was equally as good. The four of us had different meals each night and it was all delicious, plentiful and piping hot. Service was also excellent and all food was served in a timely manner by cheerful staff who are a credit to the pub. We will definitely return when we are next in the area. The residents of Toddington are very fortunate to have The Pheasant as their local. Pay them a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

Stepping in to the Pheasant started a very pleasant experience, with very hospitable & attentive staff; clean & comfortable dining area and then gorgeous well cooked food. The chicken pie was so good, I did not photograph it until the plate was cleared! The same thing happened with my dessert, a baked cheesecake. I apologise to the Pheasant for not taking a picture at the start of the meal. Our party of six, enjoyed meals that met and went above expectations.

Highly recommend the food is really good along with the service. Really good value for money amazing food and you won’t be disappointed on portion size. Really well ran country pub. The mushroom sauce that you can have along side your steak is so good.

Food was amazing. More than generous portions sizes. Our only criticism was we were rushed off our table, due to another booking, we were just about to leave anyway, it just came across very rushed. We did understand as it was a busy Sunday. We will be back soon.

The pheasant inn has become a firm go to destination while staying with friends near Cheltenham. My most recent visit was my third, the food as good as my previous two outings here. From the moment you step inside, the friendly front of house staff offer a warm welcome and were attentive and professional throughout the duration of our evening. The food has been nothing short of exquisite on each occasion, the kitchen team clearly have pride in their work and it shows in spades. My lamb shank was cooked to perfection, falling gently from the bone as I relished every mouthful, the meat complimented with velvety soft mashed potatoes and a generous selection of well cooked vegetables. Thank you all for a wonderful evening, I am looking forward to my next visit already!

Great traditional pub and grub. Good menu, large portions and very fresh. Good atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. Very reasonably priced and very good quality Would definitely return

Really good home-cooked pub food. Goulash & mash, steak 'n' ale pie and Southern-fried chicken with creamy mushroom sauce all excellent, good value (£15-18) and good sized portions. Friendly service and excellent Donnington ales.

Was recommended by the local steam railway, which we visited whilst waiting for a return train. Six adults, two children and a toddler were accomodated. Excellent Donnington ales. Food ordered included chicken curry,fish pie,braised lambshank,gammon and eggs, and a cod burger. Childrens meals included sausage and mash, fish and chips and a cheeseburger. Starters included pate,garlic mushrooms and nachos. Food was all served promptly without any waiting as we were a large party. Friendly chatty staff who could not do enough for us. Most of the main courses are priced between £13 and £ 18. If in the area would recommend any one to visit and you won't be disappointed Thank you pheasant and staff

Firstly there was a problem in that they did not have our booking recorded. I'd booked by email but this hadn't been put in the diary. Unfortunately on arriving I could not find a copy of my booking. Also the pub was very very busy with Christmas parties but thankfully they had one spare table for us. Not sure what they would have done otherwise. But they took my word for it that I had booked and thankfully I proved it before we left as I found a copy of the email in my sent items . Anyway that aside even though the place was really busy the service was efficient and friendly. Drinks orders taken and served quickly and likewise with the food which was excellent. The issue with the booking would not put us off visiting here again. A thoroughly pleasant lunch

My partners 60th birthday surprise meal for 20 guests. We pre ordered and everything was perfect. Meals came out so we all ate together. Staff were kind thoughtful and happy. Would highly recommend. We took a cake and they provided a cake stand and a...

The first time we have visited, after hearing good things about the pheasant, we were not disappointed, fabulous meal friendly staff and reasonably priced, what's not to like.

We have eaten at The Pheasant so many times and I have never written a review. We went again tonight and I decided I really should! We have always had fantastic food and the service is always excellent. The menu is really varied too. The...

You won't need dinner after tackling the gigantic home-made chicken and mushroom pie! A decent menu, prompt service, and not too expensive either. Good to see a pub so busy and welcoming when so many are struggling. Well worth a visit.

Walked 3 miles from home to the pub for our anniversary meal. Steak and Ale pie best my husband ever tasted with large chunks of meat and Sea bass superb also. Good beers and very attentive staff. Would recommend if you’re in the area visiting...

I rarely eat out and have what I class as 'Pub Grub' generally because it can be a little underwhelming and I resent paying for food I can cook better at home. HOWEVER! I come here time and time again and we are never disappointed....

I love this place, the food is no nonsense… massive portions of yumminess, the atmosphere is always warm and the staff are always present, helpful and with smiling faces. #properpub ❤️

Really very good in all aspects. Plenty of tables in the bar, adjoining restaurant area and garden, including some suitable for large groups. Service friendly, helpful and well timed. The menu has a wide range of dishes, enough that we thought we could visit several...

Rude blonde Manager, Pre cooked food, quantity not quality, high price for what you get. Is this an invoice ? Forgettable

Ate here on the first day of walking the Cotswold Way while staying in a nearby B&B. I was the September heatwave so we sat outside along with many other people. Though busy, the service was speedy and polite. Plenty of choice on the menu...

Enjoyed an excellent Saturday lunch at The Pheasant Inn. We were provided with an extensive menu with plenty of choice, including a very good gluten free menu. The staff were welcoming and efficient and there is ample car parking. Ideally located for us to meet...

Good service up to the point the food arrived. The nachos were really overseasoned but that was nothing compared to the main courses. I had the gammon, egg and chips and my husband had the mixed grill. Huge portions. They asked if everything was OK...

Great atmosphere, great service and lovely food and nothing is too much trouble. nothing else to say ..highly recommended from returning customers.

What a great find. Booked based on reviews I’d read and it didn’t disappoint. Very attentive staff, food excellent ( including the battered Brie starter!) and lots of good options to choose from so we were well catered for. Would thoroughly recommend, lovely atmosphere.

We were a group of 10 booked in for Sunday lunch. The food was amazing and brilliant value. We were out for a birthday celebration and the staff were happy to bring out our cake from home. I wish we lived closer!

Stopped here for a sandwich lunch. The service was a bit rushed and brusque and the sandwiches were ok, but nothing special. The dining area was busy; lots of main meals being consumed. Maybe it warrants a second visit.

Excellent value Sunday Lunch. £14:00 for roast beef Adult meal, good sized portions. Staff really friendly and helpful. Definitely pay another visit

Stopped here after a walk in the Cotswolds based on all of the rave views. We found it to be very average and sadly not in line with the reviews. We chose not to eat. It is quite dated inside so we sat outside (the...

Went there for Sunday lunch with family. It was great. Good tasty food, friendly staff, plenty of choice, food arrived in a timely manor, huge portions - what's not to like. We only had a main course as we were all to full for pudding!

Popped in here thinking a Monday lunchtime would be pretty quiet but it’s obviously very popular so I’d recommend booking. They were able to provide us with a table for the 5 of us and left us with wide ranging menus while they fetched our...

Delicious hot and tasty food – we both had the fish and chips. The portion sizes were huge – glad we didn’t order a starter aswell. Service was quick and efficient, although we wished out waitress would have smiled when we tried to engage in...

Written reviews before on this pub before, and quite rightly so. Yet again a lovely meal, great prompt service by very polite and efficient staff, all at a good price. The food is excellent and has been over the years we've been coming here. We...

Visited this pub several times now and always very impressed , the meals are lovely , huge portions and so tasty , puddings were gorgeous too and presented well ! Thank you .

It has been over a year since we last had a superb Sunday lunch at The Pheasant but this was topped by the meal that we had today which combines great homecooking with first class culinary skills and staff who are entirely on the ball....

Really pleasant evening. Good food, drink, & ambiance. Brie wedges (shared) to start, fish & pea risotto, & beef stroganoff as mains. All good, with a couple of pints of local ale (also good). Definitely revisit

Booked a table for a Sunday dinner on getting to The Pheasant Inn was told they could not find my booking I had made but the staff did find us a table so we had our meal and this we did enjoy this the funny...

Had a fabulous lunch as always. Great food, nice atmosphere, good prices and good service. Nice to see a few new dishes on the menu. Nothing whatsoever not to like. We will be back.

We live close by but have never visited before. We sat outside and had the most incredible food. We had table service which was fast and very efficient, they had enough staff around to deal with a fairly busy lunch service. We had fish starters...

Beautiful meal today at lunchtime. Beer and food was excellent especially the lamb burger, highly recommend, seems very popular and good atmosphere. Staff very helpful and pleasant with a warm smile. Will come again..

We chose the Pheasant for a family meal for its proximity to Broadway. The pub has a rustic charm and that's reflected in the menu. Typical pub food but at a high standard with generous portions. The beef and ale pie was delicious and all...

Outside seating area very well laid out and efficiently handled by friendly Staff.To conform with Covid-19 restrictions.The covered Capsules were all Reserved and a great investment for outside eating. The food was excellent, the portions very good and very sensibly priced.Our party of four had different dishes accompanied by excellent chunky chips.A most enjoyable lunchtime, top marks to the Pub Kitchen and the Staff.

Birthday lunch on the first day of ‘lockdown freedom’; great food and friendly service. Looking forward to a return visit

What can I say ‘The Pheasant Inn’ has pulled it out the bag again with their takeaway service during Covid. Had a fantastic Sunday roast takeaway, and couldn’t fault it. Beef and Pork cooked to the usual high standard and served with all the trimmings. It is prepared fresh for your arrival so it’s nice and hot (no cutting corners just because it is served as a takeaway). Quick and efficient service on collection. Will certainly be recommending. Well Done Carys and Richard.

We visited here for lunch and had one of their outdoor pods. It was fantastic, very cosy with cushions and blankets and a little heater. Still a little bit drafty though. The food was excellent and the staff were really Friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Awful. Start to finish. Sat indoors which was fine, but all they were interested in were the ‘pods’ !!!Drinks were slow...but the drinkers with no ‘scotch eggs’ lol seemed to have drinks when they wanted !! Gov guidelines ???Also put a log on the fire !!!Service was miserable bar 1 girl who was very jolly, food........no comment !! But I have plenty Food was, well, mixed girl.....a hard meal to cook, but every meat was over cooked. Partners meal was ‘ ok’. And before you say why wasn’t this mentioned ...the table wasn’t checked !!!! Before we could order deserts which we wouldn’t of....our bill was placed on our table even tho a drink had just been brought to us and was told we had to leave. This was the most the waitress said all night ..Comical Overall....book a pod as service looks 5*.

Covid safe breakfast meet up where you can be warm and sit outside under cover! Friendly staff and fab breakfast choice, good veggie breakfast too and coffee included. Toilets clean and staff masked up!

I we have just been into the pheasant and what can i say othrt then it was absolutely brilliant, the food was excellent and the staff were amazing so friendly and made us feel very welcome. I will definitely go back there. Highly recommended visiting the pheasant.

Booked a ‘pod’ sort of last minute and what a pleasant surprise. Fantastic festively decorated pod and excellent food. Combine this with pleasant and helpful staff, well worth the drive!

You can always rely on The Pheasant to deliver the goods. We booked an outside pod which was warm and cosy. A little draughty, but we all brought blankets and sat on the ones provided. Decked out for Christmas it looks lovely on arrival. It was our Christmas gathering - outside. Service was excellent with covid rules in place. Our starters and mains were delicious. No room for puddings. Thoroughly recommend eating here it is 100% every time. We are lucky to have this pub on our doorstep.

Had a very enjoyable meal in one of the pods all decorated out for Xmas. Staff did us proud having to be in and out of the restaurant. Would definitely recommend this pub. Never had a bad meal here.

My wife and I were joined by sister and brother in law for lunch. We sat in a “Pod” which was in the garden. The pod was heated and we were also supplied with a lovely blanket to keep our knees and legs warm. The quality and quantity was excellent, price not excessive for what we had. We will most certainly be back to this very friendly pub in the Cotswolds

We were drawn to this country pub by the line of outdoor pods (particularly appealing during Covid, but I'd imagine they're always popular!) We didn't manage to bag ourselves a pod but we all enjoyed a thoroughly delicious meal here. The food was even better than we expected. Good beer garden with friendly staff, and don't let the road side location put you off - it is the Cotswolds after all! Would certainly come back when next in the area.

Had a fantastic evening at The Pheasant, food was fabulous as always. The outdoor pods are great. A big thank you to our waitress Andrea couldn’t of been more helpful.

We were on holiday nearby at Winchcombe Caravan and Camping Site. We visited this pub 2 nights in a row. There was an excellent choice of meals at very reasonable prices. The meals we received were well cooked and presented with plenty of food. The service was very polite and efficient. We would highly recommend this place.

A friendly, cosy pub with well distanced tables which also allows dogs. There is an extensive menu with lots of choice. There was a small wait for the food to arrive which we didn’t mind as it was clearly freshly cooked. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed our meal - the chocolate cheesecake was particularly good. My only slight issues were that the fish pie was very salty (maybe a question of taste but it’s easier for someone to add salt if there isn’t enough) and the lady behind the bar throwing empty bottles in the trash was a bit noisy.

We had not booked,but were rapidly seated . The place was plesasntly busy--full of locals it would seem--always a good sign. Menus produced & drinks order taken in double quick time. From then on we enjoyed a really great meal..Service & food great t& reasonably priced.

This is the first time that we have visited The Pheasant and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. It was busy, but all the staff were still very pleasant and attentive. We will definitely be back.

We visited with friends for lunch. It was busy, but still covid safe. The staff were personable, engaging and entertaining. The food was excellent. The pea risotto with cod was outstanding and the steaks were delicious. The pub was full of atmosphere and the whole visit was fun. Definitely worth a revisit!

We had an excellent meal tonight in this lovely pub ,food great quality and plenty of it ,i had broccoli and potato soup followed by lasagne with a beautiful salad

We dropped into the Pheasant on our way back from Stow on the Wold for Lunch. A warm welcome and Covid Formalities cleared with ease. Great choice of menu from snacks to full meals W chose the Cajun Chicken burger and the ham egg and chips, Great service excellent food and plenty of it. A very clean and efficiently run pub. Toilets spotless and all the warnings in place without being obtrusive

We had a lovely dinner at the Pheasant Inn. Very large portions! The service was very friendly and the pub is welcoming. If we lived close we would visit again, but we would definitely recommend!

Stopped here for lunch yesterday. Holidaying in the area so went on a recommendation of a friend who visited a few weeks ago. Very pleased to say that we had a lovely lunch. Staff were very friendly, good covid precautions and processes in place and plenty of space around the whole restaurant. Food was very good, large and tasty portions. Large choice of dishes on menu and all at a very reasonable price.Will certainly visit again when we are in the area next.

We came for dinner and really enjoyed it. The food was perfectly prepared and the service friendly. The portions are huge and excellent value. We’d definitely visit again when in the area. Recommended!

Today was the second time we have eaten at this well run Inn in recent weeks.The place is adhering very well to Covid restrictions.The food and staff are a credit to the management of inn.It won't be long before we visit again.Thank you to you all.

We ate here as a family Great service Food was hot and tasty We came on a Thursday evening so had steak as per the special offer The chef cooked as per my sisters requestI wanted rare to medium but it was more medium to rare -still tasty Covid restrictions observed We sat by the open exit door which was a little chilly as the evening went on Staff were friendly and helpful

Excellent food and service at a good price. Social distancing and all safeguards well in place, felt very safe.

Great menu at decent prices and tastes lovely too. Clair our waitress was friendly and helpful , and clean loos into the bargain. Definitely on my list to go to again list

Had a very enjoyable meal here.It was a thursday evening and the place was busy (covid restrictions busy) so had a good atmosphere about it.They have a pub garden that looks great with little pods.The food tasted good and was very reasonably priced.

We had a lunch time visit. The food, beer and service was all we could ask for.It was a sunny day and the outside front garden was a picture withthe cabins and people enjoying their lunch. We visit quite often and havenever been disappointed. Well done all.

Very welcoming even with covid restrictions in place. Spotlessly clean, you can see into the kitchens from the bar. Staff are warm and welcoming and very helpful. We were given menus and our drinks order taken within5 minutes of being seated.The menu serves traditional pub food but with lot more refined. We had steaks with all the trimmings, cooked perfectly, the food came out hot and very plentiful. Deserts are delicious and really large portions. I would definitely go back to the pheasant for a meal.

Ordered a beef roast dinner, this came out pretty cold other than the broccoli. Ordered the roulade for dessert which came out mouldy! Had mould spots on and they continued to serve it to other customers after I had returned my dessert. They offered to replace the dessert which I declined as I felt very put off.

As always...wonderful food, fabulous service, great atmosphere...still our absolute number one favourite place to eat out 😃 Been regulars for over 4 years! Love this place!

We are very lucky to call this our local. Sunday lunch is not only delicious but plentiful and very good value. They have good COVID measures in place and the pods outside in the garden are great.

As mentioned by other reviewers, this pub has done all the it can to proof itself again Covid-19, including installing outdoor pods which look pretty weather resistant. The only observation I made that is any way critical is that the young servers looked pretty terrified every time they approached table! That said, the greeting was warm, the food was freshly cooked , generously portioned, and very good value for money.

Haven't been to this pub for a while due to the lockdown etc. and so nice to see it up and running again. Excellent precautions taken in every conceivable way against the the Covid 19. As before in previous visits the Sunday Roast was absolutely superb and faultless. Staff very polite and very helpful and such a prompt service. If only all the pubs were this good.

The whole package was delivered @ The Pheasant. Great food, Good atmosphere, Excellent Service. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this wonderful venue.

The was a good lunchtime find. Pub was busy but there were tables outside. Menu very varied. Food was well cooked and presented. Fish cakes with salad very tasty along with the seafood board. Staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back if in the area.

Our third visit and perhaps our favourite Cotswolds pub.We visited last week and both service and our lunches were as good as ever.We have always visited for Sunday lunch previously but tried the Steak and Ale pie which was excellent.Very friendly staff too and it was nice to see the place quick fill up.The Pheasant Inn is ideally situated for Broadway, Winchcombe as well as the Steam railway which is a short distance away.Very nice food at reasonable prices too.Please support our pubs.Visited August 2020.

Impromptu pub lunch, having spotted the "pods" out in the beer garden, which were a great novelty. Lovely food, definitely worth the short drive, and will visit again when we next holiday in the Cotswolds.

This our nearest pub and we are so lucky to have it on our doorstep. We’ve seen Carys Richard & the baby sitting in the garden with paddling pool during lock down and they have made a fabulous job of making the pub look it’s best for re opening end of July. I popped in for lunch with a friend last week. Service impeccable. Social distancing and careful handling of plate/ cutlery delivery/ collection. In one way out another. Food as always delicious and good value for money. Passed by today and tables outside at lunch time are pretty full. Car park full & it’s a Monday. Well done. You’ve got it all just right.
