The best restaurants serving British food in Ampthill Central Bedfordshire East of England

I visited for the first time last night to try the November menu with my family. The staff were all super friendly, highly professional and very attentive. The food was absolutely incredible, such delicious dishes with an expertly selected wine pairing, which I would highly recommend. The only improvement I would suggest, is perhaps printing out a copy of the wines used in the pairings. I often found it difficult to hear all the information provided by the staff when the wine was delivered, due to noise from other tables. So having a copy of the names and flavours would be super helpful. Overall I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend Eileen’s. I will definitely be visiting again and am excited to try a different selection of dishes and wines. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Only place in Bedfordshire worth going to watch live sport. I live in Bedford and travel over every weekend to watch the football in the engine - that's how good it is.

Took a friend for afternoon tea for her birthday, lovely little tea shop, excellent afternoon tea, would highly recommend

I went to the duchess tea rooms with my sister, niece and my daughter. Right from the helpful lady on the gate we were greeted by smiling helpful staff. The manager of the shop directed us to the tearooms. Our waitress Megan was helpful and...

Attended a wake for my Brother-in-law . The staff were very friendly and helpful with everyone . Food was well presented and good quality . It's a lovely little pub . Highly recommend . Must go back in happier circumstances .

I love this place. The venison was really good. Staff very attentive.

Came for a delicious Sunday roast and it didn’t disappoint. Beef was gorgeous potatoes nice and crispy and not forgetting the massive yorkie. Gravy is to die for!! Thoroughly enjoyed by all thank you to jazmin for getting us a lovely spot in the bar area. Be back on Sunday !! Haha !!

The best in everything they serve! The fish and chips are great , big juicy cod and perfect chips . You cant go wrong with any of the meat kebabs all high quality meat cooked perfectly :-) the ampthill special kebab will feed two hungry people !

Dropped in here today to have a drink & a bit to eat whilst having a debriefing meetin with a colleague, i had a frappe & panini, The staff were friendly & smiling, always a good start, the place is relaxed & clean with ample seating, the frappe & panini were nice, wish they did a bigger frappe but thats my fault as i seem addicted to them during the summer,lol, We were able to talk without disturbing others & unlike some establishments like this they didn’t seat you so your almost on someone else’s table, the table spacing gave you your own personal space,

Food not at a good standard im afraid. Far better places to go too which are not far away

Heading to a 1970s weekend - stopped here by chance. Food was good and reasonably priced with big portions. Would stop here again if our route took us past.

We were invited to try this pub, and we were not disappointed. Service was in good time and friendly, we didn't feel like we were left waiting but felt like we had enough time to choose what we wanted without feeling rushed. The food we had was very tasty, my wife having the Porchetta and I had the fish and chips, both were very tasty. I gave in to temptation and l had the Apple crumble, this was a lot larger than we had expected. No wonder the waiter brought two spoons! My only critique is that it could have done with more than one small scoop of ice cream. I'm sure if I would have asked I could have had another as it didn't last the crumble. But it didn't ruin a loverly meal and experience. The manager even recommended a trip across the road to the antique store, where my wife managed to find a much searched for Umbrella stand, so thank you for that too.

The cottage bakery made a birthday cake for my daughters 8th Birthday. It was made exactly to my specification with matching cupcakes to go with it. My daughter loved the design and both the cake and cupcakes tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend.
