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

My husband and I went earlier tonight. The staff were attentive and lovely. We had a wonderful meal, the mussels were delicious and the steak too. The Pizza however was exceptional and we really enjoyed the tiramisu. The atmosphere was so pleasant. The price was very good bearing in mind we had drinks too Thank you to the team for such a lovely time.

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!

Excellent food, amazing service and a lovely view - what more could you ask for? We booked a pod which sheltered us from the breeze but was cool enough (even under the full-on sun) to keep us comfortable. Highly recommend a visit.
