The best restaurants in Northill Central Bedfordshire East of England

The service overall is very good and attentive however there is a 10% service charge added to the bill rather than discretionary. The food was of good quality however to get 1 Brussels sprout. 1 carrot and 1 parsnip and a tiny bit of cauliflower cheese on the Sunday roast was parsimonious considering the prices being charged. So not impressed but it helped my diet though that was not what I was there for. Lovely atmosphere, it is popular and busy so you do need to book in advance. Would I go again? Maybe, it did not hit the right spots consistently.

The meal I had was first class. Steak and kidney pudding.

Efficient and friendly service. Tasty and clean tasting food. Reasonably priced. Great vegetarian. options! Fabulous quintessentially English tea room. Very good job for table of 8. Would definitely go again.

I have eaten in the restaurant many times over the years, both for lunch and evening meals, with friends and family. The food does not dissapoint, is good quality and goes well beyond standard pub grub. The menu changes regularly and always offers a range of freshly cooked dishes. The staff are professional, warm and welcoming (especially Guy) and happy to engage in some friendly banta. This is our go to place when eating out with friends.

The food is always great here (quite rare for me to say). Great kitchen.

Popped in for dinner. Very friendly staff, lovely food, nice environment. Great chips!

An excellent Sunday lunch from the menu and the days specials. Excellent service from an attentve team. Great play area out side for grandsons to let off steam. Will be back again when next in the area.

We booked afternoon tea for four about a week in advance, this was dealt with by the event organiser who couldn't have been more helpful, When we arrived the staff were waiting for us and conducted us to the old library where a single table was prepared for us. We had expected to be in the restaurant and to have a private room was a real treat. Our party included a vegetarian and a gluten intolerant guest. The Chef had prepared separate plates of sandwiches for these two as well as a seperate stand of glutent free cakes. There was a good variety of sandwiches which were obviously freshly prepared and well presented, the cakes and sweets were varied and excellent. The service was A1 and unobtrusive, fresh tea being brought in on request. We all really ate too much, but the food was so nice we just had to clear the plates :-) A very special afternoon for us and we shall return. We do enjoy an afternoon tea when we can ~ our overall service experience here was far better then at Woburn, much quieter and personal than that at Frosts at Willington and better service and fresher food than the at the Swan in Bedford,

Our walking group has just had our Christmas Social at The Guinea. What a fantastic evening! The food was excellent as evidenced by clean plates, the service exemplary and a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff for making tonight such an enjoyable experience.

My band rehearse in the function room most Mondays so last week I decided to book for Sunday lunch as we came here for Christmas lunch and it was amazing as was todays Sunday lunch the beef was very tender and all the vegetables were very tasty as well, The Owls About guy came in with his Owls and they were a big hit with dinners they sat on top of the chairs so well behaved just topped a great Sunday lunch. Big thank you to Louise and all the staff for making everyone feel welcome and relaxed

A couple of pubs we hoped to visit for a last minute family catch up were full with Xmas parties. As we were already out & about we thought we’d try the green man as the car park wasn’t full…we should have realised why !! The drinks were extortionate, the food was highly priced (although we had seen the menu) but the portion sizes were ridiculously small; a small kids bowl of plain pasta (we requested no sauce or cheese) was £7, a very small basket of fries was £4.50. This pub could be ok, nice Xmas decorations and lit candles, although the log burner wasn’t alight. The staff were friendly that’s for sure, but in this instance that’s not enough to make us return. So our advice is to save your hard earned money and drive right past the empty car park.

Enjoyed a walk around the woodland with our dog. Popped in for a light snack lunch. Run by volunteers, a friendly community atmosphere, welcoming everyone including dogs. Simple menu with inviting cakes. Good coffee and proper pot of tea. Lovely outlook across the orchard and quiet.
