"Food was amazing; Sunday roasts were huge. Unfortunately it seemed the regulars were visited and spoken too, but we were forgotten. When I booked and paid the deposit, I said we’re booking as we’re new to the area and it’s for my birthday. We were put in a room up some steps which was lovely, but after waiting a while, we had to get someone to take our order. Our starters took a long time to come, but the main…we didn’t get till gone 3.30, when our booking was at 1.30. We had a 4 year old with us that was starting to have a strop because he was so hungry. No one ever came to apologise, or update us nothing. My sister in law asked where our food was, and they said it was coming. 15 minutes later, nothing. It was warm today (finally), so I think there were a lot of walk ins but people who booked weren’t prioritised. The whole reason I booked here was so we could have a meal, then spend the afternoon in the beer garden, having drinks, so my nephew could play. Even his dessert we had to chase as no one ever came to our table. A huge family meal which I felt responsible for, as I booked, and the staff completely let it down. Really upset and disappointed. Felt very unwelcome."

"After getting it being recommended to us, we visited the Biggles Lounge as part of the continuing Curry Tour. We visited on ‘Banquet Night’ purely by accident, but decided to take advantage of the ‘deal’. The mandatory Onion Bhajis were to be honest, disgusting. They were literally served on a pool of oil. What they lacked in taste, was certainly made up in greasiness. I managed to eat one and left the other. Not a good start. Main courses were OK – nothing outstanding, nothing special and nothing to return for. The highlight of the evening was the comedy cheese naan! It was absolutely hilarious and still makes us laugh. It was a normal naan with a bit of grated cheese on top! Possibly the worst, if not the funniest naan we have experience on tour. Despite the recommendation to us, we cannot recommend the Biggles Lounge. We fail to understand how others have found the Biggles Lounge to be apparently so good... ...it struggled to be average at the very best in our opinion. However, if you want a good laugh, order one of their cheese naans! So, so funny!"

"more beautiful place for a bite to eat or drink. very friendly staff, good eating too very cheap trips. massive menu with something for absolutely all, last of additional options and page also available. the dessert menu is smaller, but also good. large drink menu alcoholic and non-alcoholic with milkshakes and juices also. would recommend to anyone who goes to biggleswade, this place is one must try if they love her eating. very spacious venue with a beautiful atmosphere where they can eat outside."

"As you'll see from my review history, I very very rarely post a bad review except in exceptional circumstances. This was one of these. I was expecting a lovely three course meal in a cosy pub out of London, based on the reviews. We were looking for a bit of a treat, as I was catching up with an old colleague (of a charity we both worked for) and her partner (CEO of a Mental Health charity). However I was severely dissappinted and appalled at how they treated us. The barman was gracious on arrival but the waitress who served us (couldn't have been much over 16) was absolutely clueless and seemed to not care about her job or the customers under her service. She was clueless about the menu when queried and kept having to nip off to the kitchen to ask, whilst giving us strange looks for having questions about the food/ breads/ menu. We felt judged, immediatly. When the food finally arrived we had ordered a sharing Camembert. The camembert was delicious but the bread it came with was burnt, unevenly sliced and looked, quite simply, like it was from the bottom of the barrel. Why the chef thought that exceptable to serve I have no idea. Not a good start. Next I had a vegetarian main (curry with cauliflower rice), from a very limited veggie menu. Quite frankly, it was bland. I make much better at home. When chased, the service was rude and the landlady/ manager was abrupt with us for having some issues, despite us being warm and kind to her always giving the pub the benefit of the doubt. I was not even offered a dessert menu. Finally, the ambience was soul sucking. It was quiet and joyless, like eating in an old folks home. In fact some people near us got told to quieten down, despite it being early on a Saturday evening. Just such a shame that the staff and food don't live up to the hype. Genuinely would not recommend this place to anyone. Not worth your time, energy. Vegetarian options: Poor. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

"We ordered a large portion of fish and chips, a regular portion of fish and chips, 2 servings of mushy peas, pickled onions, and a saveloy for the three of us, but couldn't finish it all. The food was freshly cooked and excellent. Our parents particularly enjoyed the pickled onions and mushy peas and even fought over the portions. It was a nice touch to receive a complimentary serving of curry sauce as well. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant!"
