When you come to stay in Shefford, Bedfordshire you need to know the places to eat and drink, right?
Here’s our guide, based on our favourite experiences, of where to go to eat and drink around Shefford.
The Hide, Ampthill
Billed as one of Ampthill’s best kept secrets, we really love the Hide lounge bar in Ampthill. Okay it’s a little out of town (a ten minute drive from Shefford) but if you are looking for somewhere that’s great for breakfast, a nice lunch or a late afternoon drink, followed by cocktails, the Hide really is perfect.
Food is always hot, fresh and tasty. Service is sometimes slightly delayed as they do get very busy and food orders are cooked fresh, but it’s worth the wait and is a great place to enjoy a pre-food drink. Great atmosphere and setting.
The Shefford Tandoori
Located on Shefford High Street, the Shefford Tandoori has been voted one of the top 5 Indian restaurants in the UK. Owned for more than 25 years by the same family you will struggle to find a better place for Indian food.
Food is always really fresh and tasty. Service is always very good too, sometimes slightly delayed due to the high volume of customers but it really is worth the wait as the food is amazing. We love it here.
The Black Horse, Ireland, Shefford
Less than a five minute drive from Shefford, The Black Horse, Ireland provides very high quality food and drink. Sister restaurant to one of our other favourites, The Birch in Woburn, the Black Horse at Ireland is perfect for birthday and other special occasion celebrations.
The food and drink is at the upper end so expect to pay slightly more than other local establishments but the quality is very, very good.
The Greyhound, Haynes
A warm welcome awaits you at the Greyhound pub in Haynes, just a short drive (5-7 minutes) to the north of Shefford in Haynes. The Greyhound is perfect for mid-week meals and last-minute Sunday Roasts.
