Fir Tree Inn

Now, it's not every day that I find myself in a Bedfordshire village, along with a couple of chums and anxious for lunch.
If this ever happens to you, and you don't want to go too far from the M1, the Fir Tree Inn could be the answer to your prayers.
The words, "Classic Pub Food" on a menu are usually a warning, but not here.
If you want bangers and mash revisualised, with the mash perfect and the bangers, sourced from a local farmer's pigs, better than you've ever had in a pub, this is THE place.
Sorry to rant, but perfection when you don't expect it deserves ranting galore!!

Came to the pub for a drink at 1045pm. When ordering the drinks, my friend had misheard my order before paying and asked the manager if he could swap one. To which she rudely replied and said no.
Whilst we appreciate that we had mis ordered, there was no reason that this would be a problem in any other pub. The drink was unopened and had not been paid for.
When leaving, I gave some feedback to the manager which again was responded to rudely. Comments such as ‘I’m not going to treat you like a customer that has been here all night.’ ‘Well you don’t need to come back’. Not even a sorry. I have never been treated like this by someone in a pub ever. For someone who has never gone to this pub, it has absolutely assured me that I will never be back. Clear from reviews that we were not the only ones that have had this experience. Perhaps some training on how to engage with customers politely would be good for her.

We celebrated our sons 21st birthday here and it was perfect. Everyone had a great time. The staff are so friendly, helpful and thoughtful too. Great pub!

Great singer and lovely atmosphere. Beer is nice but you need to book on the weekend (not unreasonable at all, shows its popular) so will try the food next time.

Very welcoming staff who had no problems with us bringing our dogs in with us and providing them with water. The meal was wonderful, home cooked roast beef with all the trimmings and PROPER gravy! I will definitely be eating there again and would have no hesitation in recommending it

This is a great pub/restaurant with good home cooked food. Not pretentious with a lovely atmosphere. It’s a place where myself, as an older lady, feels comfortable going in alone. Great for coffee and home made cake too. Really nice staff!!

Very good service.
We were a fairly large group of 13. Stopped for light lunches after a walk on The Sands. The staff managed to produce all of our borders at pretty well the same time.
Comfortable seating with a good choice of inside and outdoor areas.

One of the best pubs in the area. Been coming for years. Really good food and drink, and great staff. Always supportive of community projects, and a real village pub with a lot of heart. There is live music most weeks, and also guest food vans, as well as superb home cooked food; everything from breakfasts to Sunday roasts. Really nice beer too! Dogs also welcome. There really is something for everyone here; I can't recommend it enough ❤️
