The Pheasant, Shefford Woodlands

It is a shame to advertise food - and then the only snack meal on offer is a baguette with cheddar cheese. Not the only snack left! The only one on offer!!!

Lovely situation - disappointing food!

The Tally Ho, Newtown

What a lovely place. The owners were friendly, charming and helpful. They made us feel as if it was our local (or at least wished it was our local!) - and we had only stopped for lunch! The food was lovely, freshly made and promptly served. Wonderful!!!

Everything was clean and well-presented.

We will stop again - and soon!

The Old Thatch Inn, Cheriton Bishop

Visiting Cheriton Bishop area - and thhis pub was recommended for a light lunch. Impressed with the building - and then I ordered lunch, a steak sandwich - which I thought was a little too expensive at �8.50. And then it arrived - very small and the plate filled with chips and salad. The chips were just filled with grease. And the steak sandwich had to be dismantled to remove fat and gristle.

It was returned - and the self-important barman brought the plate back to me - and loudly demanded to know what was wrong with it. I don't like getting bad food. But I rarely complain - in this case only because the meal was so expensive for so little. But I really hate being embarrassed in public. I had not made a scene - just quietly returned my meal. He had no right to cause a scene - and then charge �4.25 fro what I did eat! Never again. It looks good - but the food was disappointing. Anyone can have a bad day - and if the situation had been handled well, I may well have decided to give it another chance. But not in this case!
