First off, this restaurant is really beautiful and located in the super cute village of Woburn. The…read morecobblestone, old church, and small shops are very sweet and walkable. We drove through the Deer Park (about five minutes away) and saw hundreds of deer and stags at sunset. It was such a magical way to start the evening. We then parked in the public parking lot and walked over to Loch Fyne restaurant. The place is known for their seafood, so we all went with fish dishes. I started with the superfood salad, which had broccoli, asparagus, pink grapefruit, avocado, pomegranate, soya beans, mixed seeds, and rice. It was good and healthy, but honestly felt like a strange combination of ingredients. I also got the smoked haddock fishcakes, which were similar to a fish croquette and very tasty. I'd definitely come back to this spot, as it was both aesthetically pleasing, tasty, and the service was impressive!

Really nice restaurant in the heart of one of my favourite English villages, Woburn!…read more I recommend if you are driving in, to come through the Deer Park which is beautiful, we drove through with 10 stags right beside our car grazing, and plenty of herds that you can see from your car. It is literally a minute or less drive from the restaurant, so do yourselves a favour and check it out! The food here was great, I am not typically a fish lover, so I stuck with the fish and chips, which I really enjoyed, my family all got different dishes, and each was as good as the other! Definitely come and check this place out for a meal out!

We stayed here one night and also ate at their restaurant. They had a lot going on at their bar…read more Parking wasn't a problem. We were greeted immediately. Registration was easy. This was the most inexpensive room of our 18-day vacation through England and Scotland. Our room was very nice and even had a bathtub! There were plenty of outlets for charging and devices. The radiator and towel heater worked well. Dinner was great. There were two young female servers who were very attentive. We ordered carrot coriander soup, sautéed mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce, toast, lamb shank with herbed mash and green beans, beef lasagne, chips, and fudge brownie sundae. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed our visit.

We visited the Rick Stein restaurant on a short stay in Malborough, as my partner loves seafood…read more (Although I am vegetarian, there were options available, including on the set menu.) There are dining rooms both upstairs and down, the latter behind the small bar area. You enter through the shop: the decor - despite this being an 18th century heritage building - is fresh and modern, with dark wood and pale walls, and selected modern art on the walls. We chose the set menu, 3 courses for £26.95. Our starters were the steamed mussels in cider with spring onion and spinach, and roasted red pepper soup; mains were salmon fishcakes with watercress and the chickpea curry (plus a side of hispi cabbage); and we both had the sunken chocolate cake with clotted cream for pudding. (NB the Welsh rarebit isn't veggie - it's made with anchovies.) My starter and main (soup and curry) were perfectly good - the soup especially so - but not exceptional. It didn't surprise me as Rick Stein - both the chef and restaurant - are really all about seafood. My partner found the mussels superb - fresh, sweet, with just the right amount of sauce. Likewise, the fishcakes were excellent and, although they looked small on arrival, they were actually quite filling, and generous on the salmon. The hispi cabbage proved the perfect accompaniment to both mains. The chocolate cake was smooth and velvety, but not too sweet (think a brownie sort of texture) - and perfect if you like dark chocolate. We chose a 250ml glass each of one of the recommended Sauvignon blancs, which also proved a good choice. Service was excellent throughout, and the young server was very skilled at making us feel at home. Including service, the bill came to £95 for two, which for a fine dining experience was pretty good value. Others certainly think so, as on a wet mid-week evening it was packed (so booking definitely advised). There's parking along the main street outside - not a problem in the evening, but potentially a bit more challenging at lunchtime.

He took our drinks order and served us. I asked to set up a tab and he was fine. He pointed out the special board and welcomed us to take our seats. I had a burger and chips, it was nice enough. My colleague had fish and chips and he said his fish was actually really nice and definitely a good bit of quality fish. The waitress was so sweet, attentive and amusing! The decor was lovely and you can tell it's just had a big makeover. The whole place was immaculate. A really decent selection of drinks, including London lagers and ales. It is is at the posher end of "gastro pub". I would go back here 100%. If nothing else the staff have won it over for me hands down. You k ow you'll get served timely, decent food, with a smile, nothing too much effort.

They're dog friendly and there's a really nice nature walk right opposite the pub. You'd want to get there by car as it's in the middle of Watford road but to easy to find. The staff there are welcoming, we actually went on Boxing Day thinking it' probably be too busy but they were really nice and we got a cozy sofa spot next to the bar. The food is nice and warming I had the butternut squash soup of the day with nice homemade bread. They do amazing seafood hence the name and I'm eager to go for the lobster Tuesdays. I think you have to book in advance due to popularity. Will definitely recommend any hungry hikers and families with kids as they have a lot to choose from with whole lot of alcohol choices too!

One of the best restaurants around, set in a lovely village environment. Very attentive staff and…read morethe food is quite amazing. This is a special occasion type place and also perfect for a romantic night out. When you walk in you're greeted by a cosy area by the fire. You can sit on one of three large leather sofas or stand by the bar. You're quickly offered drinks & left to review the menu with complimentary olives & croutons. When your meal is ready your waiter takes your drinks on a silver platter & guides you to your table. Usually the cost is fairly high, however, they have some amazing deals on at the moment (Mar 10). Two courses for around £20 & three for £25 if my memory serves me. This is amazingly good value for the quality of the meals & the experience you'll have.

This is my favourite restaurant in my area and we've found several celebratory reasons to return…read more The food is excellent, the atmosphere great. I love the nooks and crannies of the old wattle & daub building. The focus is fish and seafood which is fresh and thus, a significant portion of the menu changes daily. Most of the fresh fish is caught off Cornwall, although fish such as salmon is likely to come from Scotland. Vegetarians are not after-thoughts though....Roast Pumpkin and Chestnut Mushroom Tagliatelle with Sage and Parmesan does it for me! My son's favourite starter is the Twice Baked Oxford Blue Cheese Soufflé. In winter, a roaring fire sets the cosy tone as guests sink into huge, comfy leather sofas. Menus and drinks are served promptly....we usually opt for glass of sublime champagne while trying to make our minds up. A conservatory wraps round the back of the restaurant is kept cosy during winter, offers equal summer enjoyment. Great wine list, impressive casks of ales for beer connoisseurs, single malts, friendly, well-trained staff make this restaurant a cut above many others around here.

Helpful service. The pardon peppers were a good serving for only £3. Served in oil, just needed an extra dusting of salt on top. The shrimp in oil with chilli and garlic was tasty, almost like in Spain. Bread for dipping in oil on the side. Sweet potato and leek pakora is something you don't see on the menu every day. I liked it, the batter was quite light and you get what I think was a plum chutney on the side. The haddock fish cakes are shaped like balls and served on a bed of leeks. Also had a side order of Daupinois potatoes, shaped like a square block, nice and creamy.
