Ego at The Flying Fox, Woburn

Fantastic experience here , we were served by Lucy who was attentive and friendly throughout our meal, lovely cosy feel to the place. The food was delicious and fresh, best calamari, spaghetti carbonara we have had in a long time.Desserts were delicious too.

We went to the Flying Fox for the first time this weekend for a surprise birthday meal. The food was very nice, well presented and didn't take too long to come out. Gracie & Jodie Ann were exceptional, they were so pleasant and good with the children. I would definitely recommend.

My comments will be honest and hope to be constructive. My wife and I move from London to this loveable area almost 2 years ago and ASAP we started our search for good places to go out with our family. After several disappointing excursions we end up in the Flying Fox and I have to say that we were very impressed from day one and continue going back as often as we were able to, bringing family and friends who came to visit us. Being in London for almost 4 decades and linked in our early days with the hospitality/catering industry it gives the knowledge to make a judgement about what is right or wrong wherever we go and believe, we know the constrains and the difficulty to get it right if all is needed is not in place. We were in the Flying Fox last, over a month ago and as soon as we walked in we sensed that something has changed. We were escorted to our table (41) and carefully ordered our wine and dinner from the obvious new menu: 1) we ordered a bottle of Chanti which to our surprise came to the table open in a very disappointing, was not shown to us to verify if it was the right order and was poor straight into both glasses to try. It was really nice I have to say. See the picture. Later on we made comments to the lady who was looking after us about the protocole and to serve the wine. 2) Food was average and something is missing there to get to the quality we have been used to receive as when ever customer visit the restaurant. It should not be about being new and be learning because we the customers are paying the full price regardless the quality of what has been delivered onb the day. By the way Tiramisu was removed and that was a big miss. I think, a serious training should be implemented ASAP to preserve what is still good and bring the Flying Fox to the level it was for us as your customers before the administration and staff was changed. It is not the staff’s fault, it is the administration who put them on the spot without the right skills. Sorry to be writing and honestly hope it helps. We should give it another go in the future to see how things have been improved in your loveable restaurant.
