The best restaurants in Silsoe and Shillington Central Bedfordshire East of England

Really nice genuine Italian food.

This is a lovely village pub, out in the countryside. The service was great. Nice atmosphere My whitebait were good, even though there were ony 14 of them in the shoal. My blue burger was nice but slightly spoiled for me by my friend having the ribs. They were so good - I know this because she let me try a couple. We were planning to go back, while we were there, just so I could have the ribs. I'll be back !

We were recommended to this eclectic out of the way cafe by friends. Tucked away off the A507 we were greeted by a 20 year old ex-feral cat called "Oggi" who seemed not to notice the budgies and canaries in the cages that adorned the walls of the barn in which the cafe is situated. I think this gives an idea of the character of the place and coupled with the very pleasant staff made for a "different" coffee break. There is also a small farm shop and a bric a brac store under the same roof. Mus re-visited in the Summer when coffee in the courtyard would be very pleasant. Oh and the lemon cake was super.

This pub/restaurant is now called The View! A spectacular location - staff friendly. Sadly food was a disappointment. My wife had salmon and I had a tossed salad with grilled chicken! The salmon was over cooked to the point the tail end was carbonised!!! My wife not wanting to make a fuss plodded through the other end even though it wasn’t moist! As she left the food she Pointed the fish out to the waitress so kitchen would not make the same mistake again! Sadly I have heard from locals their experience with the food was simular! 100% take a visit and enjoy a drink and savour the view and not the food!

We were asked if we’d be happy with a pod as the venue had been booked out for an 18th birthday…..the pod was warm and cosy and the food was delicious…would highly recommend the mixed grill! The staff couldn’t have been anymore attentive…..
