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!!

I popped into this pub for the first time ever, taking a mid-morning break from work, and found myself as welcome as the most regular of regulars.
A half-pint of decently-kept lager refreshed me, a trip to the ultra-clean gents relieved me, and I left wondering what excuse I could find for a much longer visit.

I wander along the Chess Valley Walk many times a year, and have done so for 20 years past.
Frogmore Meadows brings the butterflies and the flowers they feed on, and which could easily be lost.
Traditional husbandry does have a continuing role in our lives, and Frogmore Meadows proves that fact.

Seriously relaxing, if you're watching, tougher if you're wielding bat or ball.
With history stretching way back, but with fans and players as often young as old, it's a refuge in a world gone mad.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Temple in July 2019 on the occasion of its restoration and extension, together with the inauguration of its associated sheltered housing for older Hindus.
Beautuful place, beautiful people.
