The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Bought 2 eccles cakes they tasted nothing like a eccles cakes, The filling had a funny taste and a lack of fruit, they went in the bin.

Had a pleasant meal on a saturday evening - each of us had a different main course and all said it was excellent. Good service. Now we have to go back and try what the others had chosen!

Delivery was late. Order was nearly cold. Scampi was overcooked.

Rude staff. More interested in talking to each other than serving customers. I was waiting at the bar to be served money in hand and the guy behind the bar looked at me several times, then another guy stood next to me came and stood next to me the barman came over and said usual to the guy next to me. It’s clear they only want you in the pub if you are a regular.

The fish was bony and the batter soggy would not recommend. And had to wait for it to be cooked .

I was booked in here with the rest of my family for the 2 nights either side of my son's wedding. The accommodation is situated in the car park with the beer garden opposite. This made it too noisy for me to get an early night on the Friday as there were cars driving right past my room and a very noisy party in the beer garden. The person in the room above made a telephone call and I heard most of his side of that too. It finally quietened down around midnight. Saturday we were too busy partying elsewhere and when we got back at half midnight everything was quiet. The bed however was one of the comfiest I've ever slept on! I did struggle with the room being very hot as there was only 1 small opening window and I couldn't really sleep with the door open! As the website says it provides Bed and Breakfast, I was looking forward to a cooked breakfast. Sadly the reason there is a fridge in your room, is because you get presented with a small carton of milk and there is a small pack of cornflakes in your room, plus a cereal bar. Not what any of my family were expecting!

So quiet, staff are lovely, menu is great. Amazing place if you want a quiet meal

We went here today, having prebooked a walking group of 19 people. Selected our food preferences at about 10.15 and requested lunch for 12.45. We went for a circular walk returning at about 12.20 ,ordered and received our drinks. The food was delivered at 12.40 (5 minutes earlier then ordered) it was really well cooked, well presented and excellent quality. e.g. The chips looked as though they had been cooked in new oil they were so clean. Definitely recommend the pub and service.

We visited prior to booking to check that the menu was suitable for our dietary needs and tastes. As it is a busy holiday area and the weather was good we made a reservation for Friday 26th July. On arrival we were taken aback that the restaurant area was not set up. Just tables in disarray on a filthy dirty carpet. The bar server was pleasant and swiftly got our drinks. After that everything went downhill. We ordered Lamb chops but were told they were out of stock. Therefore the second choice of mixed grill was also not available.we then tried Chicken and Leek pie - none. In exasperation we said OK Fish and Chips - sorry none! How can a pub with food not have stock of basics at the start of probably one of the weekends that would be the busiest, especially as we had booked? We asked twice for the manager "Kim" to come and talk to us and said we were prepared to wait but twice she refused. Absolutely disgraceful way to treat customers and terrible to leave her staff to deal with her inadequacy. Never ever will we go again.

I can’t say enough how lovely this pub is. The staff are so friendly and the service is amazing. There is always good music and a great environment to be in.

Lovely pub to walk to both from Bletchley and Leighton buzzard Food service is fast and it don't suck

What can I say. Wednesday deal - £30 for two mains and two starters. Quality for great, staff were lovely. Great deal to keep business going mid-week. 100% will be back. Place is beautiful following the renovation.

Only popped in for cuppa. Nice enough.

Service was great very welcoming, Ruby was a lovely barlady polite and funny. Would recommend coming here.

Great example of 'Spoons at its best.
