The best restaurants in Ampthill Central Bedfordshire East of England

We recently had breakfast at Sunnyside. The service was friendly and efficient (Sharon) and the food was really good. Everything came to the table quickly and as ordered. The portions are ample and the coffee is delicious. We have never been disappointed at Sunnyside! Great little restaurant!

Had a lovely evening! Great food and our waitress was wonderful! Sadly I didn't catch her name but when I come back I hope she's there. Thanks for the mushroom pasta recommendation!

A very nice quirky restaurant located in ampthill town centre, good options on tue menu and the food was very nice…I ordered a chilli garlic king prawns dish and a chilli chiken dish arrived 🤷‍♂️ I could of made a fuss but as it took ages to turn up I wasn’t keen on sitting around for another 45mins so I ate it. Also we asked for water for the table four times and it never arrived, my guest ordered a rosé spritzer and it turned up with no lemonade 🤦🏼‍♂️ Aside from these minor issues the food was very good (esp the prawns 🙄) but the service was very hit & miss.

Another fantastic roast dinner in this great pub. Staff all so attentive, and the roasts are delicious with plenty of choices for deserts. Not that I could fit one in as the portions are so generous. Great value for money in a warm friendly atmosphere.

Heading to a 1970s weekend - stopped here by chance. Food was good and reasonably priced with big portions. Would stop here again if our route took us past.

We were invited to try this pub, and we were not disappointed. Service was in good time and friendly, we didn't feel like we were left waiting but felt like we had enough time to choose what we wanted without feeling rushed. The food we had was very tasty, my wife having the Porchetta and I had the fish and chips, both were very tasty. I gave in to temptation and l had the Apple crumble, this was a lot larger than we had expected. No wonder the waiter brought two spoons! My only critique is that it could have done with more than one small scoop of ice cream. I'm sure if I would have asked I could have had another as it didn't last the crumble. But it didn't ruin a loverly meal and experience. The manager even recommended a trip across the road to the antique store, where my wife managed to find a much searched for Umbrella stand, so thank you for that too.

So disappointed.. after using this restaurant for over 25 yrs .. eat in And take out .. I am sad to say we won’t be using again. Has it changed hands? We had a delivery tonight .. it was 15 mins later than the maximum stated time despite the fact that we are a 5 min walk away. We had tandoori mixed grill and tandoori king prawn. The portions weren’t great not like they used to be. The salad between 2 dishes was a couple of slices of ice berg lettuce- no cucumber or tomato and 1 tiny piece of onion. The garlic naan as insipid… dry and might as well have been plain . With 3 other Indians in Ampthill why would I choose this one again . I’m sad as it was always the best .

The cottage bakery made a birthday cake for my daughters 8th Birthday. It was made exactly to my specification with matching cupcakes to go with it. My daughter loved the design and both the cake and cupcakes tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Save yourself the bother and go to Tesco. We ordered a delivery and the quality was very poor. The pilau rice was salty and oily, no flavour. The lamb rogan had barely any meat in and lacked flavour. The madras my partner had reminded us of a tomato pasta sauce. Honestly prefer the Tesco Indian deal. Next time we stay at Center Parcs we'll look into collecting from local takeaways.
