The Red Lion at Milton Bryan in Central Bedfordshire

It's the best Sunday roast I've had in many a year. Great service and food was amazing. I am looking forward to the next visit.

Elli and maia are two of the best bar staff I have had the pleasure of dealing with. The service at the red lion along with the food and beer is second to none. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Second time I’ve been for a Sunday roast, first time I had the pork and second I had the beef. The quality of the food is evident in the taste and presentation. Good size portions and the roast beef was absolutely sensational in how it was cooked. Perfection. It’s a beautiful venue with beautiful staff and delicious food. Best Sunday roast on portion size, quality of produce used, perfection in cooking and priced very well. I should have taken a photo of my food before I started on it but look at that beef! Sensational.

It was cold where we sat but we were seated promptly. Fires will be lit next week I’m told. The starters (Squid / Wings) were of a very high standard. The roasts were excellent probably in our top 5. Service was a little patchy but not too bad. The only small negative no English Mustard available which is not great but I’m sure a temporary blip. Would recommend for a try

Excellent. Again. We'll, every time so far.

Booked in advance, didn’t get shown to a table, took so long to even get a menu we walked out m

A friendly village pub with a superb Sunday roast. I particularly enjoyed the cucumber with the peas, beans and spring onion. A pleasant surprise, I'm a sucker for something I have never had before. The staff are attentive, friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to a return visit after I get paid and try the desserts too.

Perfectly fine visit with polite attentive service with a lovely atmosphere. The only drawback was having to wait over an hour for any food to materialise and only then after enquiring as to where it was only to have it delivered seconds later. Makes you wonder how long it had sat under the infra red heaters

A surprise visit for one half of the party.Excellent food served expertly and courtesy by Lynn and Maia. We can only suggest you visit. You won't be disappointed. Nigel and Fab...amateur foodies..sorry..professional. Thank you The Red Lion!

Delicious roast... service excellent as usual

Absolutely perfect Sunday roast, we have visited here on numerous occasion’s & never can fault the service & quality of the food. The selection of vegetables are superb with perfect Yorkshire puds with either the lamb or beef,.

First time visit. Beautiful location. Lovely interior. Interesting menu....and very good value. Friendly, attentive and accommodating serving staff.

Exceptional food. I had Prawns to start, big fresh Prawns. The fillet I had was cooked to absolute perfection for me. The cut of meat was quality has to be in the top 3 steaks I've been served. Very very happy with our meal.

Beautiful setting. We sat outside on a summers Sunday afternoon and my husband and I had a Sunday Roast. We both had lamb and it came just as we had asked for one that was rare and one medium. There was such an array of vegetables all cooked to perfection and a giant Yorkshire pudding with lashings of gravy. Well worth the visit.

Very good food and pretty pub with pleasant garden, but little table service.

Good food as chef is owner. HOWEVER, the pretty servers are just that! They can't answer questions!.No fish of the day! The chefs server daughter was more knowledgeable although all 3/4 huddled in a chat group on paying. Get a good front of house manager, ditch one of the pretty girls abd concentrate on consistent front if house service. Food great, although more bread needed with the tzakic and, whilst chunky chips good, they need to be crisper. WILL RETURN TO TRY AGAIN and hope my comments have been listened to.

I have enjoyed dining at this restaurant several times in the past, but there have been recent changes. I am disappointed with the service and find some starters to be overpriced. While most of the main dishes are of good quality, the desserts are a letdown.

Absolutely fantastic!! From when we walked in very peasant service, very helpful and amazing food. Brilliant value for money too. We also took our dogs and they were spoilt too with a plate for each of them. It was the nicest Sunday lunch and the most relaxing we ever had. Many Many thanks.

Nice looking pub, a bit over priced and massively let down by the terrible service from staff. Every time I’ve been in this pub I’ve experienced bad service from the staff. It’s a nice place but I wish they would employ people who understand customer service.

Liked it very much. Gorgeous setting; atmospheric interior, great patio; easy parking; uncrowded, sparkling loo. Top quality burger and side of piping hot Mac n cheese washed down with a v acceptable glass of Veneto Pinot Noir. No service charge added. So happy chappy here! Will certainly go again, esp on a Monday when many other places are shut.

The food was good and there is plenty of room outside for summer dining. The service was good and the pints were good. Also the prices of the food was good compared to other gastro pubs in the Woburn area.

burger was top notch, great beers and a friendly and hospitable bar team. highly recommended

Went for dinner today, lovely atmosphere ,service was great and hats off the chefs food was amazing..😋

Having become a frequent customer to the Red lion Milton Bryan the food is absolutely fantastic & food quality is to a high standard, but sadly last few times we have visited the table service has be not up to scratch compared to previous visits, wrong food brought out to our table on both visits, food not put down on order correctly items missing when food come out, ordered drinks & they didn’t arrive & had to re order I will revisit in a few weeks & hope things change & if service better I will give 5 stars if no changes I will go elsewhere sadly

Food was great however service and issues with the food let things down for us. When we entered the restaurant was empty so service was good, but as it got busier we seemed a little forgotten as the staff were so busy. Food arrived but was different to what we ordered in that it didn't have our requests of things removed or side dishes. As i say, when it was right the food was great, but just a bit lacking in other areas

Had a Sunday afternoon reservation - our food was reasonably nice but unfortunately our experience was overshadowed by poor service. Shame.

Food good service much better than the last visit we will be back

We were a group of 8 who spent £313. The fish of the day was non-existent, there was no panacotta and the chocolate ice-cream was also off menu. Unfortunately, 2 additional members of our party were ill and couldn't come. We notified the Red Lion as soon as we knew (7 hours before) but we're shocked that they charged us an additional £20 for the 2 who couldn't attend. A bit short-sighted as we won't be going back there in a hurry.

An ideal meeting point for a family lunch. We each travelled 50 miles to get there. Lovely setting, food and service.

Great service, amazing food & reasonably priced. Highly recommend

Fantastic lunch! Food was lovely, would recommend the Sea Bass and the Sticky Toffee. Can't wait to go back!

A great place to eat! Good and plentfful ood - a great atmosphere, and a lovely service team - would thoroughly recommend

Christmas dinner party with friends - excellent evening out with great food. Jolly Santa hats in each place setting warmed the atmosphere up straight away! Will certainly visit again.

Sunday just gone. Dropped by for a drink 3 of us… it looked lovely & welcoming. We saw there were 3 tables for a ‘bar’ area near the front. One of the tables, the middle one had a reserved sign, the other one was occupied. So we sat at the table with nothing on it apart from the drinks menu on. We drank a round & because the other table was friendly & occasionally chatting with us & we felt it was a nice place, we’d have just one more round… Well… this pub would have had 5 stars until this point… just before we finished up (probably 1 third to go of our drinks, a barman came up & said, this table is reserved & the people have arrived now”… now there was NO reserve sign on the table where we were at & probably because the middle ‘reserved’ table had more people around it, they were not asked to leave. I would totally understand if our table was reserved with a sign or a bar staff, who saw where we were, would say something like, we gave a party arriving at ‘X’ time, we would have accepted it. This place isn’t too far from the town where I live, & it was our first visit, but I will think twice before coming back. (I was eyeing up their food menu too. )

Excellent food and service. We will be back.

£11.50 for a medium glass of white wine, I don’t think so. !!!

Excellent food, tasty, well prepared and great friendly service. Quiet, peaceful pub with the perfect atmosphere to sit with friends, relax and chat.

Good food, service had room for improvement. Most of the food was good, the starters and desserts were very expensive for what they were. Chicken wings were over done, sticky toffee pudding was average. The mains were good but potatoes seemed like they’d sat in an Alto Shaam for hours. The service was patchy with waiting staff swapping and missing things. Plenty of free parking. Overall it was good, a nice pub in a nice location but I wouldn’t rush back.

Beautiful little country pub. Very cozy and friendly staff.

Been once years ago in the summer lovely place, very friendly laid back place staff very welcoming great atmosphere.

Un lieux où il faut faire un tour

Nice garden, good food and service.

Lovely fresh food. Very busy service slightly slower than normal but not bothered nice to be able to sit and chat. Hake and and hand cut chips lovely. Oh the chocolate brownie soooo good. Please bring back your shearing platters.

Nothing to dislike fabulous Sunday Roast lamb hubbie had hog roast 7 veg ! Excellent love itcwhen you get what i call an Englush veg portion. Thanks for a lovely Sunday.

We had a most delicious Sunday roast finished of with afters in the garden. Staff are friendly and helpful there was no hurry for you to finish your food in a rush out. Recommend the food.

Food, ambience and service has been seriously updated over the past year or so. Lovely outside area to spend a lazy afternoon!

One of the best pubs you'll visit. Amazing location, great venue, lovely garden area, top quality food, nice crowd. Highly recommended. Never had anything less than a perfect experience here.

Really enjoyed our lunch here. very nice people in a great setting.

Our first time here and we will definitely be coming back! Amazing food. Can’t recommend enough.

Nice place, very friendly and accommodating staff. Good outside space.

I did like this Pub, the food was very nice had a proper Chicken Buger, my only criticism was my Burger was on a Board and I prefer plates, the service was excellent.

Food acceptable, service sooo slow....lack of staff!! Not cheap and not good value for money...

Poor Customer Service , waited one and a half hours for our meal to be served. Not a good experience certainly won’t be coming back.

Stunning location. Relaxed and peaceful. Good food and great service

Lovely as always service was a bit slow but it's a very popular pub so to be expected we have missed our little weekend treat so glad we could sit out in the sun and enjoy great food again

Lovely place. Had drinks and sat out in the sun in the lovely well maintained beer garden. Lovely place to eat too x

Well worth the trip out. Excellent food and good selection of beers. Friendly service, reasonable prices, what's not to like? The setting isn't bad either.

Didn't get one bottle of wine that we were nonetheless charged for. The pink sea bream was exquisite and the fiery pepper sauce complimented the perfectly-cooked fillet steak well.

Great little find, food was exceptional, location was lovely. Highly recommend

Excellent in every way for grandparents, parents and children

Had dinner last Saturday. Was great. Great food great wine and great service.

Simply a brilliant establishment with the perfect service and lovely food.

Bit expensive for a quick lunch x

Had lovely lunch today fish & chips for my husband & aromatic duck salad for me followed by chocolate torte for both of us delicious. Very nice staff & a good friendly atmosphere.

Lovely looking place, met up with family for a meal. Fish and chips was more batter than fish. Service a bit slow.

It was a great place for a date night meal out. The food was absolutely fantastic! I want to try so much more of the menu! The service was great and friendly. Highly recommend everyone tries to book here!

We popped in for a relaxing drink and sat in the garden. The service at the bar was very friendly and welcoming. We will be going again.

First time here and loved. Food was amazing. Lovely garden area and great service.

A beautiful pub in a stunning setting.

Popped in for an impromptu lunch as time to spare. And as always was superb. Swift friendly service and food was just amazing. I love a sandwich and initially opted for the salt beef but that was unavailable, but that was a sign from a greater being and so I went for the chicken focaccia and hands down one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Flavours just hit every spot and worked so well. Mac & cheese was tasty and not super heavy and everything else was great. Thank you and can’t wait to return

First time here. Lovely place. Best fish and chips I've had for a long time. Will definitely be back.

Food selection is nothing special. Food itself was average.Service was poor. Not recommended.

On our way to London we decided to stop in that lovely looking pub. We were travelling from Milton Keynes but when I’ve seen pictures of that place I convinced to prolong our rout by 25 minutes 😅 my partner was laughing that I was the one complaining that we left too late and then chose pub not on a he way. So when we arrived I was amused by both buildings (pub and the building across the road 😍 then very polite staff , cosy atmosphere, clean… but the food was a winner 👌🏻 it was something absolutely perfect in any way 🥳 eggs had perfectly running yolk and lamb was perfectly cooked (pink inside) but warm 😻 and tender , on top of all that I could not resist myself and ordered butter veggies and asks to add truffle and parmigiana 🙈 that was an orgasm in my mouth 👄 So definitely recommend that place 🙏🏻🥰❤️

Really nice meal with friendly staff

The perfect Mother's Day lunch. Food was exceptional and couldn't fault the service on such a busy day. Highly recommended!

Fantastic sunday roast ... Very popular booking essential.

Stopped at this lovely pub for a lunchtime drink really enjoyable but then a member of staff turned up in not the best of moods followed by lots of shouting so we left which was a pity as we were going to book a table. .

Lovely food and a great environment.

Classic English country pub. Large garden for Summer months. Reasonable food, with wagyu meat burgers.

Just had the best roast dinner we’ve had in a long time, it was delicious 😋

What a lovely little find.. after googling local pub roasts The Red Lion came up and although I found a negative review it couldn’t be more wrong! The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was gorgeous will definitely return.

We have not been to the Red Lion for many many years and were not disappointed. Good menu selection, reasonable prices and service was very good. The pub still had a country feel, with plenty of seating outside

Beautiful evening for my birthday/valentines. Food was divine, service was great, friendly service. We will return

Love this place and keep going back! Newent is good but I miss the pork belly!

Very friendly Lovely quaint pub

Food good , though could not enjoy . No heating on , seated by a freezing cold radiator . Had to pay the bill and get in the car to warm up

Great meal & service brilliant. Some of the party got delayed on M1 but waitresses were great & assured us no pressure re usual 2hr turnaround so able to relax & enjoy the food. Ham, eggs & chips with the inclusion of warm scotch egg delicious

Great food, nice friendly staff

Great find, this village pub has it all. Fabulous welcome, superb choice of beverage. The wines we tried were impeccable and the food outstanding. Best Calamari I have ever including Greek holidays. Great atmosphere, well worth a visit.

Good food ,good vine excellent service 👌

A lovely welcoming pub Great food, bit stingy on the Custard. Otherwise all fab.

Had Xmas lunch here today - we loved the starter selection and traditional Xmas lunch and pudding portions were generous, not sure anywhere else will beat it ! Definitely recommend

Lovely country pub, friendly welcome and great food

Went for Sunday Dinner on 20th November. Absolutely wonderful atmosphere, waitress (Scottish lady) was very helpful and efficient. The roast dinners were to ‘die for.’ Thank you for such a wonderful experience, we will be back! ❤️

What a lovely place to relax with friendly service and excellent atmosphere and above all wonderful meals.

Fantastic Gastro pub, food is homemade and delicious!!! We’ve been a few times now and really enjoyed it!! The burger is delicious, my husband really enjoyed the fish. The food is made with love, you can tell. We’ve been a few times now, great find!!! Very good service, friendly & attentive staff. You won’t be disappointed.

Atmosphere very good service good with a smile food very good

Outstandingly great dishes in every way, with no need for any pretensions. Superb food, coupled with equally good service, all at a reasonable price & in a classically charming English pub, set in a beautiful location. Definitely worth a visit, or two. Top marks.

On the evening we went there was a private party going on, originally this was outside but as it got dark in spilled into the bar area making the restaurant area very noisy. There was clearly not enough staff to deal with the party and the restaurant, consequently service was slow, whilst we were sitting for our meal there were only 2 other tables sitting for meals and these 2 weren't there at the same time and we still went to get our own menu to check what desserts they had!! All of the above is a very big shame though as the food was excellent and if the party hadn't been on I'm sure we would have had a lovely evening. We will try again at a much later date

Amazing food, particularly the squid also asked for a few off menu dishes (for a fussy grandad) and chef was more than happy to accommodate 😃
