The Plough at Bolnhurst in Bedford

This was my first visit to The Plough on the recommendation by some friends. It was absolutely fab 👌The food is made to an exceptionally high standard - hence why it is Fine Dining - and my food was excellent. There was a large table full of customers in the next room. My previous experience of other restaurants is the large tables are served first and the rest of us have to wait. This was not the case at The Plough and my smaller table was served at the same time as the larger one. My compliments to the Chef and their kitchen team for achieving this.The waiting team were polite, well mannered, attentive but never intrusive. They achieved the right balance making sure we did not feel we were waiting overly long for our food nor did we feel rushed.The room decor was Tudor and yet homely, with a log fire burning.Overall, I rate The Plough as excellent and recommend it.

The attention to detail is incredible and it starts at the point of entrance. Every single element is thought of and it is such a wonderful experience.The food has never disappointed, the menus are always creative and impossible to choose from due to the amazing dishes available.Special dietary requirements come across as no bother at all and we really appreciate the extent the kitchen goes to for these, one never feels an after thought; there are consistently creative and delicious options available.The atmosphere is delightful due to the people who work and visit here in addition to the lovely gardens and interior.The drinks menu is also worth a mention as it is varied and diverse.Without a doubt our favourite place to eat and is always highly recommended.

We've been here 3 times for lunch, on each occasion sitting in the Oak Room. Every time, the staff have been very welcoming and helpful and the imaginative menu has tempted us to delicious dishes on every visit. Very reasonably priced for the excellent experience.

The Plough could not have been more accommodating when we approached them to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Our family of 12, could not have had a better experience. The staff were delightful, attentive and accommodating to all our requests. All the meals were top quality, beautifully presented and delicious. I would give them 10 stars **********!!

Lovely ambiance, excellent service and attention to detail created by the welcoming presence of the owners. Beautiful food - we have been often over the years but they excelled on Friday night - particularly the amazing rhubarb soufflé desert which was to die for.

Me and my wife had a great meal here. Excellent service, excellent starters and excellent mains. The food looked and tasted superb and it was cooked perfectly. If duck is on the menu I tend to order it and i don't think I have had it better than here. My only criticism was the cheese course for dessert..the different cheeses were great but some actual biscuits would have been nice and the presentation of it was poor, especially considering how great everything else looked. In fairness, hardly any restaurants manage to make cheese and biscuits the right decision for your choice of dessert and this wasn't any different. The desserts the other tables ordered looked immense I was envious. Overall, its a fabulous place to go, friendly, a nice welcome, great food and great service in a lovely setting.

Have not been for years to this restaurant, but I feel I should have been sooner, as the variety of tasty dishes was delicious. The staff could not do enough for you, they were friendly & very professional. A very pleasant afternoon indeed.

We visited The Plough today and very much enjoyed the Christmas market. The 2 course special lunch included with the market visit was excellent, as every meal we have ever had there has been. The salmon and lamb were perfectly cooked and the cheese and sticky toffee pudding that followed were equally as delicious. Great coffee and, as always, impeccable, friendly, patient service.

Hight quality, service is impeccable, food is heaven and a great selection of wines. Pity I discovered this jewel only now. I will definitely be back very soon!

Service was brilliant, very quick and the right level of attentiveness. Extremely lovely and polite staff. It was clean and the presentation of the table and food was beautiful. The food was delicious. My only drawback was the menu which was unnecessarily complicated.
