Central Bedfordshire restaurants with food menus

Lombardo's

➤ 17 West St, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Cafe • Pasta • Cakes • Italian

"The food is amazing here all homemade and great quality. Absolutely love the bakery and cakes section, particularly the casta de nata (custard tarts and sweet filled cannelloni both a must try. Coffee is also delicious and there are some seats in there...to sit with a drink/cake. You can order lunch here but I tend to stop for fresh baking ingredients and snacks. There's a huge range of fresh fruit, veg and also a large range of pasta with unusual shapes/types that you wont find anywhere else. If you are in town on a weekday/Saturday be sure to pop in and check it out as we are lucky to have such a good delicatessen."

The Green Man

➤ Church End, MK17 9DU, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Wine • Fish • Steak • English

"This was a big to do item on our trip from Chicago to England. We stopped by on our way from London to the Cotswold for our anniversary. It was only the bar menu when we arrived but we waited through a downpour and enjoyed amazing food. It was so incredible that we drove and hour and a half back the next day to give dinner a try and we were not disappointed. Whatever brownie was being served that weekend (10/13) was the best I’ve ever had and I’m truly gonna be dreaming of it forever. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Parking space: Plenty of parking"

Woburn Thai

➤ 2-3 Leighton Street, Woburn, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, MK17 9PJ

Thai • Soup • Fish • Italian

"Food was nice but portions are very minimal for the price we pay. Also we met some friends here for an evening but we're rushed out within one hour, so we didnt get time to spend witbnour friends. Not a place to wine and dine just a quick chat and food and then your told to leave as other ppl have booked. Next time I'd rather try somewhere else because despite ordering more food, we were still not full up. We had 5 mains, four rice, one plain noodles and one pad Thai between 4 of us and wasn't enough. Also service was veey pushy which I understand its coz they are busy but I didn't want to be rushed and kept intruding our conversations. Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2"

Rosso Lounge

➤ 15 Market Place, SO14 3SB, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Vegan • Coffee • British • Vegetarian

"Visited here whilst passing through. Having used a venue from the same company previously, we kinda knew what to expect, but was disappointed here. The service was lackadaisical, the food not much better. Had to ask for the Beans to be heated up (were cold) and also had to ask for butter for the toast. The Eggs were ‘rubbery’. The Staff seem to almost run away from your table not wanting to engage or wait for any further requests. The Christmas music was far too loud and sounded more like a disco venue. At nearly £50 we’d have expected much better. Parking: One hour free parking outside. If you can find a space that is!"

Biggles Lounge

➤ 4-6 Shortmead Street, SG18 0AP, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Asian • Balti • Indian • Vegetarian

"Love Biggles Lounge, never had Indian food that compares to what they dish up here. Great that they remember repeat customers and have helped me out by checking that I hadn't forgotten something off my normal order (I had and they saved me from the disappointment! . Service is outstanding and no request seems too much trouble, our number 1 go to for special occasions. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

The Ship

➤ The Ship, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Cafés • Kebab • Seafood • Fast Food

"I am disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant. When I made a reservation for a party of 16, I requested to be seated in the conservatory area to avoid feeling cramped. Despite reassurances, we were instead seated at the back of the restaurant. The service was slow, with drinks and starters taking over an hour to arrive. We waited another hour for our mains, and had to constantly remind the staff about our forgotten drinks. The food did not live up to expectations and did not resemble the pictures online. Although the restaurant did take a few items off the bill, we left feeling disappointed and do not plan on returning."

Cafe Goa

➤ 2 Bedford Road, MK45 4FN, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Meat • Coffee • Buffet • Chicken

"I travelled into Luton from London, and I must say it is by far the best Indian Bangladeshi restaurant I’ve been too. As I walked in i was welcomed by naz, the decor in the restaurant is so nice and it was good to see...awards and certificates that the restaurant has achieved! Most definitely an award winning fine dining restaurant! I had king prawn purée which was full of flavour honestly was craving it the next day! Lamb naga was mouthwatering, Naz special which was to die for! Love my spice! I love how everything is made fresh! Makes such a difference, the customer service was excellent. They were very attentive, and made us feel welcomed. Will definitely go back!!!"

The George Inn

➤ 6 George Street, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Pub • Pizza • Steak • British

"The atmosphere at the restaurant was relaxing, with attentive staff and a varied menu. I ordered pizza, while my guests chose seafood and burgers. I usually only order specialty food from specific types of restaurants, such as curry from an Indian restaurant or noodles from a Chinese restaurant. In this case, I decided to try pizza from a pizzeria. Unfortunately, the pizza was a bit disappointing - it was smoky and bland, and I only managed to eat a small portion of it before losing my appetite. However, the pizza had one of my favorite toppings, Nduja sausage. My guests noticed my dissatisfaction and offered me some of their dishes to try. The seafood was a large filet with a delicately flavored cream sauce, and the burger was juicy and delicious. The waitress kindly offered to box up the rest of my pizza for me to take home. When I shared my experience with the waitress, she quickly informed the manager. The manager promptly deducted the cost of the pizza from my bill, showing excellent customer service. Overall, despite the disappointing pizza, it was a pleasant dining experience."

The White Hart

➤ Brook Lane, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Pub • Steak • Seafood • British

"I had another excellent experience with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere at this restaurant. There is plenty of parking available just outside. The service during dinner was great, and the price per person is typically between £30 and £40. The food and service both received a 5-star rating, while the atmosphere was rated a 4. I recommend trying the chips. There is a lot of parking space, and the options include a free parking lot."

Efes Bbq

➤ 73 High Street North, LU6 1JF, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Turkish • Barbecue • European • Mediterranean

"We dined at this restaurant before attending a show at the Grove Theatre. It was a Friday night and the restaurant was not very crowded. Despite being served by three different waiters, we experienced delays in getting our drinks and bill. The prices were on the higher side, with a mixed kebab costing £34.50 and not being very filling. They also got my order wrong, but I didn't have time to send it back. The food was decent overall. The Halloween decorations were a nice touch. I'm not sure if I will return anytime soon, as there is room for improvement in terms of service."

Cod Waffle

➤ Theedway, LU7 9HH, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Cafés • Seafood • British • Fast Food

"There have been some changes since the last time I ordered from this restaurant. It seems like there is new management, and it is evident in the quality of the food. I ordered haddock and chips over the phone and was quoted £8, but when I arrived, I was charged £10.50. The food tasted like it was cooked in old oil, with burnt and unpleasant chips. The fish was okay, but not as good as the last time I ordered. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be returning. I do not usually leave negative reviews, but I was disappointed with my experience tonight. It seems that something has changed, and I am not sure if I will come back again."

The Fir Tree Inn

➤ The Square, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, MK17 8DF

Pub • British • Breakfast • Vegetarian

"We went to this pub for an evening meal. The TV was on and competing for attention with the multiple speakers which were blaring out disco music, even in the loos.The staff were friendly and turned off the speaker right above our table when we...said we could not hear each other talking. I think this might be a nice pub if you are part of the local youth and just above legal drinking age but it is not a good place to eat dinner. The food was poor to low quality and all seemed frozen and tasteless. I had prawns for a starter. 5 tasteless frozen prawns in a tasteless batter for over £7 very disappointing. Why don't you get some fresh prawns and make some batter rather than serving the cheapest frozen prawns and then the price might be justifiable. Main courses were not very interesting, burger, pub pizza, etc. I went for the mixed grill. Sadly that was another disappointment. It was basically what you would get at a greasy spoon cafe but with an £18 price tag. Two cheap frozen sausages, two rashers of bacon, a small spoon full of watery mushrooms, a cheap tomato, some frozen chips, a fried egg, a thin slice of black pudding and half of very tough and gristle filled steak. Every mouthful of the steak had tough sinew woven through it and needed spitting out as it was impossible to chew. The plastic bottle of Happy Shoppers ketchup with the £1 price label was an indication of their quality concerns. In summery, this is a local lads pub and probably fine for a pint but do not waste your time or money coming here for food. If they spent a fraction more on the ingredients or tried getting some fresh vegetables and doing some proper cooking with a little more effort on preparation they might get more people eating here, We were the only people eating on a Friday evening. £80 bill for three of us which included 1 pint of bitter and two halves of larger, 3 starters and 3 main courses. That was it. We didn't have deserts as they had already proved they were not capable of preparing food. There are 2 Indian restraints, an Italian, a kebab shop, another pub across the road, a brasserie, a pancake place and a Chinese take away are all within two minutes walk and are all worth walking to rather that eating here. There is also an excellent Thai restaurant in Aspley Guise called the Blue Orchid which is the next village about a mile or two away. Sorry Fir Tree pub, we won't be back. I will give 2 stars as the staff were friendly other wise it would have been 1 star only. . ."

Paris House

➤ London Road, MK17 9QP, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Vegan • British • Vegetarian • Gluten Free

"I booked way ahead to celebrate our 18 year anniversary. I told them I needed a gluten free diet. The day before we were due to dine I received a call saying they had had a meeting with environmental health and they were no longer allowed to call their food gluten free, it was now low gluten due to the risk of cross contamination in their small kitchen. Having eaten at the Chefs Table there twice before I said I was happy and had never been poorly after previous visits. So the next day we went for our celebration meal only what I didn’t realise was that when they give you gluten free they take out everything not just the gluten. My bread came with oil, my husband had beautiful butters. When my husband had octopus I got a pepper and when he had turbot I got a mushroom. I’M NOT A VEGAN!!!!! I wasn’t happy at all. The waiter said he was sorry I was disappointed and that next time they would try to accommodate a variation of the menu for me. Even when the dessert came the waiter proudly told my mind was “veganised”. I could have cried. And as for the wine flight, what a waste of money! The wine was slopped in, one of us would get 1cm of wine, the other one would get 3 cm. The sommelier seemed to think that was pretty amusing. We should have just bought 2 bottles of wine. It was ridiculous. There was nothing about the evening that would make me want to go back. This was over £650 for two of us. It should have been phenomenal. It’s my last visit to Paris House."

Lumpini

➤ 105 High Street South, LU6 3SQ, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Thai • Steak • Asian • Drinks

"Ok so Ive been to Lumpini a few times now and have always enjoyed the food but on my most recent visit I wasn’t all that happy with the food or customer service. I took my two daughters who had never been before so they could experience something different. We ordered our starters which were nice, we then ordered our main and the waitress came to our table 3 times to confirm what rice we wanted which was a bit disorganised I thought. Any way the food came and I was happy enough but thought the curry consistency was a bit on the thin side And tasted less coconut than I remembered as though it had been watered down and it lacked enough salt as well which wasn’t a huge issue but there was no salt or pepper to hand on the table so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I could of had there been some. My first daughter enjoyed her curry but the rice was disgusting in my opinion, it was spicy rice but it was more like spicy with half a bottle of oil and it was not cheap. My other daughter did not like the food at all and decided to leave her food. Thai is not for everyone. But the thing that bothered me was the lack of customer service really and the feeling that your a valued customer. On previous visits someone would always come over to ask if we needed anything and that the food was ok but this time there was nothing, even on the way out there was nobody to say goodbye and thank you for coming like there usually is and it may sound petty but all these little things add to the experience and make a difference to whether you would go back again. There was a couple of faces I didn’t recognise so maybe there is different people running the place then before but after this experience I won’t be rushing back as I was disappointed in more than 1 way and it’s not a cheap meal out"

Spice Of Caddington

➤ 23 Manor Road, LU1 4EE, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Balti • Indian • European • Vegetarian

"Food did not live up expectations the prawn dish the prawns were tough. The Lamb dish was shredded lamb meat rather than pieces of meat very under spiced. Also they could not provide a priced itemised receipt claiming they need them for VAT so will not be going back. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50 Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1"

The Old Farm Inn,

➤ Church Road, LU6 1RE, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Pub • Steak • British • Vegetarian

"We stumbled upon an extraordinary pub that left us in awe. The hospitality displayed by the owner, Jason, and his incredible team was nothing short of exceptional. Our taste buds were treated to a heavenly experience as we indulged in the fresh and flavorsome lamb chops and fish, which transported us to another realm of culinary delight. The cozy ambiance added an extra touch of warmth, and the fact that it was bingo night added a charming element to our visit. For those in search of an exceptional British pub nestled away from the bustling streets, I highly recommend this hidden gem."

Bistro Twenty Four

➤ 24 High Street, LU5 6BY, Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Bistro • Coffee • British • Breakfast

"Given one menu between three people and expected to know our order within five minutes of arriving; well, that’s the attitude of the young lady serving us as she blatantly rolled her eyes at us because we weren’t ready to order! The second time the young lady came to take our order, the last of our party was trying to find the pizza on the menu (as well as clearly trying to keep an eye on her small child! as it is on the downloadable version from the website and clearly advertised on the café’s Facebook cover photo!! To help my friend out, I asked the lady serving us if the café still served pizza, to which she replied no and did we need extra time, then once again rolled her eyes when we answered yes to needing a bit more time. I’d understand if the café was busy, but there were only three other small groups of customers in the café. It was just utter rudeness! The young lady is obviously very inexperienced when it comes to customer service and would benefit from further training/shadowing of more experienced staff. In addition to this, if pizza is no longer on offer, the café needs to seriously update what they are advertising online! I ordered the cauliflower aloo gobi dhansak jacket potato. The dhansak was so stodgy and tasteless, I didn’t enjoy it. At no point did any of the staff check to see if our food was to our satisfaction. Apart from the young lady taking our order having rolled her eyes at us twice, there was no contact from the staff until we got up to pay; the staff couldn’t move quick enough to clear our plates!! A disappointing experience, particularly as this café USED to have outstanding service and fantastic food! Wouldn’t recommend with its current standards."

The Plough Inn

➤ United Kingdom, Central Bedfordshire

Steak • Coffee • Chicken • British

"I visited this restaurant with my ex-wife in hopes of rekindling our relationship, and it worked like a charm! The food was absolutely incredible, a Sunday Roast fit for the gods themselves. The service was outstanding, truly amazing. The atmosphere was spectacular, and we felt like we were falling in love all over again in this magical place. This pub is where dreams come true. Price per person: £30-40."

Donatello's

➤ 91 Dunstable St., Central Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Pizza • Pasta • Cheese • Italian

"Terrible Experience! From uncomfortable chairs and cramped tables, faulty toilet (no proper hand washing in gents- tap taped up in plastic bag) to really poor food- tough chewy pizza and chopped iceberg lettuce with unfresh tomato (described as fresh tomato/cucumber etc on a bed of lettuce) we thought it couldn't get worse. Apparently because we raised the food issues with his son (who was immediately defensive and irritatingly condescending) the owner ran after us outside and shouted at me across my wife in a face to face angry confrontation. Quite unbelievable behaviour from a family run restaurant who clearly have no customer focus and cannot handle any reasonable feedback or questioning of their produce. Avoid!!!"
