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

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.

Popped in for a cup of tea and a snack. Too late for breakfast, which looked like it had some great options on the menu, so went with a filled sandwich. Beef and horseradish sauce was very good and came with fries. Well priced and the outside space was comfortable with a dog friendly policy. They also have Sunday Roasts available to those seeking more substantial meals on a Sunday, looked worthy of trying if you are hungry.

Booked at the last minute and they could not have been more helpful with our 2 yr old and the 8 in the group. All the food was cooked fresh and we were all totally happy with everything.

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Staff amazing, attentive and efficient. Not Nothing to much trouble. Great atmosphere. Great choice of wine! Such a homely friendly place.

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!! ♥️

From other reviews it seemed a really nice place to go. Our experience was that the staff were pleasant and helpful, but the food I would describe as prepackaged and re arranged. I had a chicken in pepper corn sauce. The chicken was hard and difficult to cut and was best described as being plastic and reformed. The pepper corn sauce I have had better supermarket brands My wife described her soup as being from a can with herbs thrown in, though she did enjoy the lamb which seemed fresh. Over all for the price , we did not think it worth it as there are better restuarants within walking distance

We visited for a Sunday roast with friends having pre-booked. It's never a good sign when the staff have to reel off a long list of what they don't have when you sit down. 'Only five beef roasts left, no chicken' wasn't what we wanted to hear, plus many other items were unavailable because 'they'd been busy'. The food was warm (not piping hot) and very disappointing. We felt rushed, there was no ambiance. As others have said, this pub desperately needs some money spending on it - the toilets are horrible, the furniture is stained and torn and it needs a lick of paint.

Beautiful pub in a rural location. The food was delicious however the service was dire. 6 of us arrived at 6pm when the pub opens so it wasn’t busy, however all 3 waitresses couldn’t muster a smile between them. There was eye rolling and sighing … clearly a lack of motivation and staff morale… perhaps because there was a service charge automatically added to our £320 bill so they felt they didn’t need to try and make us feel welcome? Either way we won’t be running back anytime soon, which is a shame as we are locals and the locally produced food is very tasty!

Terrible service…. Took 30 mins to get a drink, Couldn’t give a clear price on the wine, or even a drinks menu…. The best bit was when the food was delayed because they ran out of bread they said if we can wait 15minutes they will run to the shops and get some ….. the shops! Customer service….. the simplest things in life are the hardest eh. Never again.

Called in on our travels. We managed to get a table and the food and service was brilliant. We had a fab evening at a very reasonable price. Thank you.

We came about a year ago and had a lovely Sunday Lunch but this time we were disappointed. The roasties were hard and dry and the beef whilst really tender and flavorful was hard to spot on the plate. Two measly slices and the price of course does not reflect value for money. Such a shame as its a lovely place and the waiters are excellent and this is not their fault. We didnt complain at the time. Should have done but there you go lesson learned. Im not saying dont go but if you arent happy say something.

We often visit the Woburn for a drink when we’ve been out for a walk and always admire the food as it’s being served to people around us. Today we ate there and were not disappointed, it was delicious and the portions were huge. Emmanuel served us and was extremely polite and professional. He was always on hand for anything we needed…. Thank you!

Lovely night out at the Bell, many thanks to Taylor for looking after us so well, what a lovely young man! The new menu is delicious too!

I hate complaining but the food here was really disappointing, we ordered 2 burgers and both were extremely tasteless/dry and never even had any salad in the burgers, the burger buns tasted stale as if the bread had been left out and gone hard, my son had a kids meal that was extremely cold, did not appear to be cooked fresh, Mustard on the table was gone off when I poured it it was extremely watery when I checked the date it was out of date! Charging high restaurant prices with extremely low quality, I would give zero stars for food but gave 2 stars as my son enjoyed the soft play area but safe to say we wouldn't return to this restaurant.
