The St Helena Restaurant — Restaurant in England

The food menu is full of fresh ideas.

Also being more discreet when speaking to a...

Have been there many times over the years - has to be one of bedfordshire's best kept secrets as I still even get lost when I go. I challenge anyone who can find warmer first rate service, excellent varied wines to suit everyone's pocket and exquisite cuisine to match. It is a real pleasure to dine there as you are treated as special from the moment you arrive until the moment after you have left. I would imagine some to challenge prices, but this isn't a Harvester, far from it. St Helena offers some of the finest restaurant experiences that I have experienced around the globe, and hand in hand with that statement, real exceptional value...
