A Culinary Journey at Saddle & Spoke
Your Sunday culinary journey at Saddle & Spoke begins the moment you step through our doors and are greeted by the rich, enticing aroma of slow-cooked meat and freshly baked bread. Our menu, as varied as Biggleswade’s history, offers a range of dishes that will have your taste buds tingling faster than a puncture repair at the Tour de France.
