What a fabulous experience. Beautiful surroundings, a real sense of arrival, feels very plush and special. Spacious tables with prompt efficient service (other than for topping up drinks - both wine and water). We needed to ask on a number of occasions for this to happen which was surprising. Very tempting menu and the presentation was beautiful of all dishes served. A great experience over all and would most certainly return - and look forward to it very much.

Leon is a fast food restaurant that is all about quality and freshness. It certainly was!I had two Vegan Love burgers over 2 visits.. no I'm not Vegan by the way! They just looked good in their images.. and sounded very tasty. The fact I've now had 2 tells it's own story!Just over £6 they're not cheap (could be due to being 'trapped' inside Center Parcs Woburn!) but they were well worth it. Tomato, pickle, lettuce and their own vegan burger sauce (obvious dill herbs too) it was gorgeous. A thick slice of smoked vegan Dutch style cheese really added some boost of flavour.The patty itself was a mix of plant proteins and had the consistency of a good meat burger. It wasn't trying to be meat.. nor was it a dry veggie imitation. Definitely something I've never tried before. It was really really good.On another visit my family tried some other dishes.GFC gluten free chicken nuggets! My son loved them. Crunchy outside.. soft inside. No nasty additives. They disappeared very quickly.My daughter had the waffle style fries. Hot, crunchy and nicely spiced. They looked a bit more processed than I expected from Leon's.I had the plantain carribean curry. 8 or so plantain slices, coconut, creamy, gentle spice and heat. Sweet too. Served on large grains of natural rice. A huge amount of rice.. could have done with some more sauce really. But, very tasty. Never had plantain before.. I will again. This dish was recommended by a lady working there on my first visit.. she said most staff ate it.. and I can see why.The last dish we tried was morrocan meatballs. Really filling, large portion. Meatballs rich and flavoursome. The sauce and salad all mixed together well and the whole dish tasted fresh and felt like you were putting quality produce into your body.The fact I had 3 meals there.. all Vegan.. shows how GREAT the food is! (From a meat eater!)Craft beers in a small tin around £4 and other soft drinks available. Fair prices I guess for staying in.The restaurant is airy and unique in it's decor. Service at the counter was always friendly and fast. My only grumble is that Leon is all about clean, quality, environment etc. But we had to eat using plastic knives and forks. In a world rapidly removing single use plastic.. this was surprising.All in all. Well worth a visit.. and try something animal friendly instead of the norm. You won't regret it.

Wow, what can I say? I organised a surprise evening buffet to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. The food was amazing, delicious and plentiful, and they catered so well for my vegetarian and vegan friends. Laura was so helpful in helping me choose the food, and went out of her way to ensure we had a good time.Hello, karenandcraig33Thankyou for taking the time to leave us a review. we are so glad you had a great time with us and we hope to see you again really soon.
