Wow, we love The Drovers Arms ! Sal and his team there never fail to deliver. The food is always excellent as is the wine. The mussel starter is the best I’ve ever had. We live 12 miles away and it’s definitely worth the taxi ride. I’d recommend 100% as I’m sure you’ll not be disappointed. Look forward to seeing you soon. Congratulations on your Dads Curry Club award. Well deserved :) Cheers Nick

I have had previous negative experiences with regards to one of the staff members at this restaurant and their unprofessional attitude. However, last night myself and a group of friends decided to give it another go. I gave them a call in advance and arranged a booking for 9:30 with no hassle. We were seated and had very friendly and accommodating waiting staff. I ordered a lamb shatkhora which was amazing and tasted exactly how it should. We really enjoyed our meal and I would now return.

I have been to this restaurant many times over the years. The food here is the best in the area without a doubt. They provided an amazing fork buffet for our wedding and the food was absolutely top notch, everyone loved it!

R. J.

Really enjoyed our first visit here, Sal is a warm and welcoming host. The food is really well made and packed full of flavour 😋

A. K.

A welcoming team and excellent food with so much choice. Great for family and friends and all levels of spices!

S. H.

Fantastic food .only the second time we have been .but both times have been great

C. S.

We had dinner at this restaurant on our short break at Woburn Center Parc's. Vegetarian food was delicious. Very good service and ambience.

E. P.

We came from Southwold to stay with our friends and go to our favourite restaurant. We were not disappointed the food was delicious.

S. W.

Amazing authentic Indian food made using fresh ingredients, friendly staff a relaxed atmosphere and comfortable surroundings make this rural restaurant a great place to eat and drink. Thanks Sal and the team for a great night out.

S.

A traditional pub concerted into an Indian restaurant food is fantastic not too mention the good service and the surroundings is absolutely so beautiful.

R. B.

Great delight to be back at a favourite haunt. Food was as good as ever. Unusual selections, tandoori venison or duck plus halibut but all the expected dishes executed beautifully. Great ambiance.

D. D.

We went to the Drovers Arms for the first time today to try something different for Christmas. We were not disappointed. Set in beautiful surroundings, the place was very warm and welcoming with a great atmosphere, as were the staff, who were very attentive. The food was amazing, very tasty and well presented. We would definitely recommend it and we will be returning soon.

Night in with my lad, let’s order a curry… Excellent online ordering made easy, swift and accurately timed delivery. Food was superb, full of flavour and generous portions. Sometimes it’s the small things, in this case the naan was the best we’ve ever tasted. 10/10

A. M.

We've just moved into the area and just picked the Drovers off Google for a take away. What a find! I can honestly say this is the most exceptional Indian food I've ever tried. The meat (chicken or lamb) in every dish is cooked to perfection, still soft and tender (not rubber like so many other places) and the balance of the spices and flavours is just sublime. The other week I tried the Zautun Chicken, never had a curry with olives in it and it was amazing, the balance of flavours was spot on. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!

C. M.

Only used as a stop for water on the Willan Cycle Fundraising ride. Good sized car park.

A. S.

Excellent food as always. I mainly go for the Tandori duck, which is one of my favories and I love the way they do it here. Generally a very good Indian restaurant and good value for money.

C. D.

Food, service and atmosphere are always 5* - excellent customer service, fast paced service and food is amazing every time we visit; a local favourite of ours for sure!

A. S.

What a lovely meal delivered on time and nice and hot can I congrat the chef and all the staff

M. P.

Very disappointed best thing was a decent glass of red wine and the Peshawari nann bread.

J. B.

Very nice. Not quite as saucy as I like (could justhave been the dish I ordered), but you can taste the quality of the ingredients used and the meat portions within were quite generous. Recommended.

J. C.

Long awaited return to The Drovers! Food was fantastic, service was excellent and enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. We will be back…….

S. T.

Fantastic food, staff and service. We booked ahead on Boxing Day night (tonight) and it wasn't all that busy. Food came within a half hour or so and was delicious. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a 5 month old in tow and nowhere to change him. The staff found a quiet space for us to change him which was fantastic. We were never left with empty glasses. All round excellent atmosphere, food and service. We're not local or we'd be visiting again very soon. We hope to come back again in the New Year.

J. I.

Frequented the premises for the 1st time on NYE. I have to confess thee best authentic Indian meal I have had. Menu had a wide choice of different culinary dishes and we were not disappointed with the quality. Immensely tasty that served an array of spices. Service and ambiance best in class!! Will definitely return on a regular basis now I have discovered this gem!!

A. O.

The BEST Indian Restaurant experience I've ever had. We were welcomed by a gentleman called Sal, who made our dining experience 5 stars. He recommended their signature dishes and which wines went well with them. Incredible flavours in the food, I highly recommend the King Prawns. Overall a really amazing dining experience, a huge thanks to Sal for making it so special.

V. A.

Very friendly staff best food ever 😋 👌 i mean that anyone who hasn't been you don't know what you're missing 😉

K. A.

It was my sisters birthday on the 23rd November. I arrived here alone to bring a cake they made me feel comfortable on my on, and very welcome to sit in the waiting area. I had a great time, the venue is clean, it is not too big and not stuffy and small. They way they present themselves and their restaurant is very professional the atmosphere is lovely. The food came out quick, the staff had a great sense of humour. The food was not too expensive and it tasted fresh. I would like to visit here in the summer to enjoy the outside gardens a lot more. Thank you

H. F.

We have tried 3 different restaurants in the area and We can honestly say that the food and service at the DROVERS is fantastic, also nice to see that staff are using masks and following Covid 19 rules as requested. 10/10 to everyone at the Drovers, keep up the good work especially at such bad times.

K. D.

Great setting for a lovely Indian meal. Lots of different dishes from the usual Indian Restaurant. The Manager and staff are really welcoming and happy to offer suggestions and tell you about the different dishes. Will definitely be going back.👍🏽

M. M.

Great food and great service. Amazing authentic food you can wish for.

S. R.

We were looking for a pub for dinner, just off the M1. The pub we went to didn't serve food on Mondays, so they sent us to The Drovers - which despite the name, is an Indian restaurant. WHAT A STROKE OF LUCK!! Really excellent food, interesting with loads of dishes I'd never seen before, alongside the old favourites - it was delicious. But what really made it was the service - Mil and Ru where excellent, passionate, funny and really enthusiastic about making sure we had the perfect experience. Excellent place, well worth the 10min detour from the M1.

D. H.

Excellent meal full of flavour. Just caught them before they closed but the staff were extremely generous with their time and we were under no pressure to get on with it. Ruhel and Mil were our servers and were friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their food. Such a shame it is such a long way from home

J. B.

Lovely food. Haven't been for a while and always loved it! Even better today than ever before. Excellent service. Highly recommend!

I. C.

Great menu and excellent food. Very personable staff who quickly learn their customers' names. My eldest son recently emigrated to Cornwall. When we visit, we have to take "a Drovers"! What does that tell you? (The also keep their beer exceptionally well.)

W. H.

Fantastic food, friendly staff

J. B.

A. A.

J. S.

Excellent food and the service was fantastic, the staff are very friendly 5⭐

D. A.

Went there for a beer and take away on way home from work, paid by contactless done by staff and realised that when I'd got home there'd over charged me. Nice food but check your bills unless they are charging £10.20 for a bottle of Stella 🤔

G. F. S.

Friendly service, they also make the tastiest Onion 🌰 bhajis and Pakoras ever.

My wife and I visited the Drovers Arms to enjoy one of their currys. The food was excellent and reasonably priced but we were very shocked by the price of the soda water and lime drink my wife had. A 250ml glass cost £4.95 - the same as a Cobra beer! We queried that price with the waiter so, when it came time to pay, the Owner/Manager came to take our money. He raised the issue of the soda water cost and was very keen to defend the pricing citing the very high cost of carbon dioxide. Once home we looked into this. We found soda water costs a restaurant around 6p to12p per glass. So no excuse there except for a desire to make around 4000% profit. Anyway, FYI The Drovers Arms, near Flitwick, Bedfordshire charge 5p less for soda water than The Rivioli Bar in The Ritz, Piccadilly, London. Interesting pricing.

S. B.

Good service, great food

B. J.

Best chicken tikka around! Lovely staff, nice atmosphere and a great chef. Plenty of seats, good for family meals. Little bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion. Plenty of parking.

D. H.

A Monday night so a quiet night, but very good service. Food was superb, a lot of it was home cooked. Staff were very nice.

G. L.

Went there after hearing rave reviews about the food and customer service and am pleased to say it lived up to all the expectations. Sal goes overboard to ensure you have an enjoyable experience and I can recommend it highly.

N. P.

Lovely Indian restaurant set in open country side, great menu and very friendly staff, worth seeking out

F. S.

Some parts of the meal were good but they put almonds as an extra garnish on the chicken tikka masala I had and I didn't really like it.

I. F.

Excellent food and service. Staff can't be more helpful and the owner is a very friendly individual often wanders around greeting customers and checking that all is well.

S. B.

Good food - including some more unusual dishes on their standard menu. Nice setting too - an Indian restaurant set in a country pub with a conservatory is out of the ordinary, and works very well. Definitely worth a visit.

(Translated) Good atmosphere! Good spicy food, but the portions are small! (Original) Ambiente bom! Comida gostosa bem condimentada, mas a quantidade das porções são pequenas!
