Never been here before, but it was a lovely setting the staff were lovely, so friendly and attentive, even when it started getting busy. Would recommend if you are looking for a more informal afternoon tea, but still with great service, settings and I would recommend the Hot Chocolate, which was delicious.

Woburn

About the restaurant

Set in 22 acres of stunning parkland Paris House is located on the Duke of Bedford's Estate in Woburn. Paris House blends modern culinary techniques with traditional foods to create a 6 course tasting menu. Paris House was originally built in 1878 in Paris. At the end of the 19th Century the timber framed building was dismantled and shipped piece by piece to its current home in the stunning grounds of Woburn Park. In January 2014 Paris House was bought by the businesses’ award winning Executive Chef Phil Fanning. The restaurant is managed as a family business by Fanning and his wife Claire.
The restaurant’s tasting menus are based around dishes constructed with natural flavour combinations using the best seasonal produce available. Each menu has been carefully created to showcase the ingredients and provide you with a memorable dining experience.

About the restaurant

Welcome to Rajkot Indian Tapas Restaurant & Bar where our journey began in 2005, where our family’s passion for authentic, hearty Indian cuisine introduced something unique to the local dining scene. Nearly two decades later, we are thrilled to reopen at a new, larger, and more modern location, continuing our commitment to delivering an exceptional dining experience.

Inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit and hustle of Rajkot in Gujarat, we strive to create a dining experience that is unique, authentic, and full of passion. Our menu blends traditional dishes with tapas and street food, capturing the essence of this vibrant city.

Our chef, with us from the beginning, is back to serve the dishes that made Rajkot a favourite: the daring Nuclear Wings Challenge, our Rajkot Machi, and the popular Rajkot Lollipops.

A lovely, high-quality, light-and-airy bistro in Woburn. Food was great, and given the quality it was very good value. Staff were very attentive too. Well done Lussmans - you're a great addition to this small, pretty Georgian town.

Gastro Pub

Bedford

About the restaurant

The Embankment has become one of the premier spots in the heart of Bedford. The clue to our location is in the name! Bedford’s beautifully-landscaped Embankment has wonderful views out over the River Great Ouse. The Embankment Hotel was built in 1891 and we renovated it to reflect its late-Victorian heyday, but with all the modern comforts and facilities of a great pub. The atmosphere is relaxed and hospitable. There is no stuffy hotel lobby or residents’ lounge, just a team of friendly faces to look after you.
