The best restaurants in Aspley and Woburn Central Bedfordshire East of England

I had to write this review to express my total gratitude for the generosity, warmth and hard work of Emily and all the team at the Fir Tree Inn, for donating and preparing an absolutely amazing meal for 20-+ guests at at Woburn Sands Winter Night Shelter for our local homeless community. The Fir Tree is a valued and vibrant part of our community and I approached Emily to ask if The Fir Tree could help us out. knowing that they would already be busy. They were busy, but nevertheless Emily agreed immediately and enthusiastically, but couldn't chat about it much though as she had totally lost her voice. Despite lack of voice and busy trade, Emily took the time to get a team member to call me the very next day! Everything was arranged smoothly and immediately and all the team were really supportive and pleased to be involved. When we went to collect the food, we were overwhelmed by the super friendly reception, and the quality, quantity, presentation and variety of food that had been made. The chefs had made us Thai Green Chicken Curry, Thai Green Veg Curry, mountains of fluffy fragrant rice with loads of Prawn Crackers and a whole range of puddings. Everything was piping hoy, delicious, healthy and satisfying. There was enough for everyone to have seconds- and everyone did eagerly (they had to have a break before even thinking about pudding but really enjoyed it later). Cant thank the Fir Tree enough for everything they have done. A really generous. community minded team.

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.

Best roast in Bedfordshire #woburn Great staff. Amazing!! Thank you x Was hosting at its best! Hot delightful food, You should take a visit.

Made to feel very unwelcome by the owner. Told to take our shoes off as they were muddy so had to wear just socks on stone cold floor. Food experience mixed, spaghetti bolonaise good though. Lovely bar staff but owner clearly didn't want kids. Many good pubs in Woburn I would choose over this

By far the best Chinese fast food takeaway a boy from the village could ever have grown up on!! good luck for the future guys and thank you for over 40 years of fabulous food!! ♥️

This is a hidden little gem! From the most warm welcome from Charlotte, Dee and especially Heaven . All the staff and management deserve a huge thank you and applause for looking after the guests equal to their family. Chef is amazing and you gotta try his homemade steak and ale pie ,its delicious. Well done all ....

Excellent food and very good value. The Monday - Wednesday special “pub club” is a great offer and the selection and quality is great. The staff were very good and helpful. 10/10 all round.

We go here fairly often for afternoon drinks as it’s local but the service just gets worse. I stood at the bar for at least 10 mins Friday afternoon while 2 barmaids served one party all the while ignoring me, it’s not hard to say “sorry, I’ll be with you as soon as possible”.

We weren't sure if the place was actually open when we arrived even though I'd booked a table it was total chaos the girl running it looked up once while was bottling up bearing in mind this was luntime we eventually got our drink after about 10 minutes and we sitting at the bar, we finally ordered our meal and to be honest it was disgusting my friend had a beef stew which most was gristle and very greasy I ordered spicy chicken burger with salad, I wanted just the burger and no bun a heap of overcooked bits of breadcrumbs arrived and basically no chicken. Whilst sitting at the table you then noticed how grubby everywhere was. Neither of us ate the food it was truly a disgusting place. We are both well travelled and both lived abroad for years so and eaten in many off the beaten track restaurants. Avoid this place

I deducted two stars because some of the dishes I wanted were unavailable. I didn’t mind that the seafood paella came without mussels, but unfortunately, it wasn’t offered at all, so I had to go with the chicken option instead. The kids’ meal was also missing one ingredient and was replaced with something else. On a positive note, the cheesy sliced potatoes served with the lamb chops were delicious! Overall, the flavors were rather plain, and the prices were slightly high for the area.

Love this restaurant. Took the family for our birthdays and Mothers Day celebrations. Staff were amazing especially with my grandson. Service as usual fantastic and food delicious.

It was a Tuesday after the Easter bank Holiday and the place was quite empty, understandably. Ordered from the main meals and I had the chicken and ham pie and it was delicious. They kindly changed the broccoli for carrots which was a bonus for me. 3 of us had lovely meals with a coffee and small dessert as well. Staff were very friendly. Will definitely visit again.

4th Visit to The Woburn, starters were good but sadly it went downhill hill after that, with the mains being expensive for what you get. The puddings were slow to arrive with our stay being 2 and a half hours. Given that it was a Sunday, you’d expect the service to be a bit slower but we felt it was too slow given the premium price you pay for the meal.

Good buzzy vibe, good waitress, food average, disappointed with my ribs, annoyed with, as a nice gesture our grandson was asked if he would like to pick the film, which was good, then found we were not in view of any of the screens.
