Most Disliked
Some guests mention that the cozy, intimate vibe of Big 10 - Smoke & Grill can lead to bustling evenings, making reservations recommended. A few note the 'hole-in-the-wall' feel, which while charming, may not suit everyone’s preference for a polished dining experience. Additionally, during peak hours, the wait for a table or service might sometimes stretch longer than ideal. Some feedback indicates that limited seating can be a drawback, particularly for larger groups.

Lovely food and great service. Bit of a "hole in the wall" vibe, but that just adds to the charm of the place. Food is fantastic, especially when you consider comparable options in the area. Very attentive service from the guys, always happy to grab you another drink or help with the menu. Best of all, the prices aren't outlandish, which is not something you can say for many Ampthill establishments! Highly recommend booking ahead - tables fill up quickly and you might be turned away on busy evenings.

Brilliant find! We go out often in search for great places to eat, I found this one and we all loved it. Hidden away, in a cosy little building, decorated with the most random things, great music and fantastic service. The staff clearly know their way around the kitchen, and the service was really good. Such a mix of drinks, and reasonably priced, too. We will definitely be back!

Excellent food, falls off the bone and full of flavour ! 2nd time visiting and was equally as impressed as the first. Beautiful old building tucked down a road off the high street. Best place I've eaten in the last ten years.
