Met a friend here for breakfast. I had the vegetarian breakfast and my friend had the full English breakfast, we both enjoyed our food. The lady that served us was very helpful and the atmosphere very relaxed. The location is stunning, being in the middle of the Luton Hoo estate Parking absolutely no problem. Will definitely use this place again.

Under new management. Prices of cakes increased by £1 in one week to £6.95. This was for slice of banana cake not even something fancy ! Prices of cakes seem to be ‘invented’ at time of purchase. Nice cappuccino Slow service

I went to the Woodyard cafe following a tour of the Luton Hoo walled garden along with 9 other ladies for lunch. We booked for all 10 of us for lunch having been told there were vegan options. Also this is stated on their website and menu. I am vegan and when I asked what the vegan options were the server said there weren’t any and just walked off! In the end all I could have was a scone!! Additionally we waited over 20 minutes for our drinks order to arrive and 50 minutes for the food to arrive. There was no apology for the wait even though we had chased up our order. When then food eventually arrived my scone didn’t .. the man who brought the food to the table said “l’m not the scone department” Absolutely appalling service and several in the group didn’t particularly think their food was very good. Will never go again and certainly wouldn’t recommend.

Had a great lunch at the Woodyard today. My husband requires a gluten free diet which can sometimes mean a highly restricted choice. The server was really helpful and suggested the Halloumi salad, which looked - and tasted - delicious. I had the Quiche Lorraine which was also really tasty. accompanied by a lovely salad. Can thoroughly recommend.

I love this place. It’s deep in the grounds of Luton Hoo but it’s easy to find and parking is not a problem. I meet a friend here every Tuesday for breakfast, the food is excellent and is at a reasonable price.

Took my wife to The Woodyard today for an impromptu coffee & a bite to eat. Things have changed since we last visited; now there are many more tables & chairs, obviously to cater for more customers, but the replacement furniture is lightweight, plasticky & a bit feeble. Somehow the atmosphere has suffered too, which is a shame, as this was always a terrific little hideaway café. Then there was the attitude of the girl slouching across the counter – not even a thank-you as I ordered & paid, but at least this surliness wasn't reserved for me alone, as I overheard another lady being treated to a grumpy & pointed attitude as she ordered. To the girl in question, I would say this: if you don't like working with the public, get a job elsewhere that isn't customer facing. It's tough, but you can't go through life thinking the world owes you a living – it doesn’t. Working in the hospitality industry means you need to adopt a smile most of the time, especially when you're dealing with people paying you for a service, and ultimately paying your wages. It's a real shame that it's changed like this, because café culture is largely about the atmosphere that people experience when they visit these places. On a brighter note, the menu looked really good – the cakes were excellent and my sausage bap was very enjoyable, brought to our table by a different girl who was much happier doing the customer-facing stuff, so it wasn't a complete let-down. However, I doubt we'll be back for a while...

Really accommodating staff rearranging seating for different sizes groups. Simple but tasty fare, e.g. Southern fried chicken burgers and a good selection of cakes, in a wooden building.

I wouldn't go again , we were served breakfast with burnt toast which I think is unacceptable. We also got charged £6.95 for beans on toast as a kids meal which I think is extortionate. Really disappointed as e had heard some really positive things about this place.

My husband and I were treated to a champagne afternoon tea by our son. We went yesterday and the whole afternoon was a delightful experience. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the food was excellent. We will definitely visit again.

What a lovely gem of a pub. Very friendly pub in a lovely little Bedfordshire village! We were here today for a Sunday roast and after eating out at more expensive restaurants in the area and being disappointed by their high prices and average food, this was on another level, it was beautiful!! Everything was freshly cooked and home mad at a very reasonable price. Shall definitely be returning.😁

Stopped in for a tea, coffee and scone for the first time this weekend as we happened to drive past. It was all lovely and reasonably priced. However it is disappointing that a venue in such a prime countryside location doesn’t at least allow dogs inside somewhere. I imagine their foot traffic would increase substantially if dog walkers could come in for a post/pre walk refreshment.

This place could be amazing but it is lacking atmosphere and the food is very ordinary. It needs a total overhaul. Everything feels dated and they need to look at other restaurants/brasseries in other area. It always seems half empty. Wouldn't go back again.
