Bedford Hotel Restaurant in Fylde

After booking a specific table, 2 weeks in advance for Father’s Day lunch. We were shown to the worst table by the coffee machine and till. It transpired that another family had sat in our originally table and their name was on the one by the till. The staff tried to make out there had been a mix up etc, which was rubbish. It was extremely disappointing as instead of hearing lovely Lynne singing , I could only hear the coffee machine and till in my ear. Clearly there is no point trying to book a specific table well in advance, as the staff are incompetent at managing the correct bookings. Needless to say we will not be rushing back which is a great shame as we have enjoyed dining there previously and my father used to be a regular.

As others say, this is a family run hotel, seeming in mid-winter to specialise in catering for the older end of the population, of which my wife and I are members. There's plenty of wait staff, a pleasant lady pianist and a chandeliered dining room lined with large framed photo's of the very pretty faces of young ladies who may well have been Vogue models. It all provides a pleasant if subdued atmosphere. Three courses cost about £22. The food we had seemed freshly prepared and of good quality. The snag is that the portions are, ahem, very small, excepting the large bowls of carrots, broccoli and green beans they served every customer. Contrast that with the one merely halved roast potato served to me with two small slices of roast beef and a mere smattering of gravy. Had the three small elements got anywhere near the amount of boiled vegetables we may have departed sated, but they don't and we didn't, which was a shame to us.

We had booked Sunday Lunch from the Set Menu (either 2-course or 3-course). We arrived early enough to have drink at the Bar and then proceeded to the table in the Restaurant. We chose the 3-course Lunch for £19.50 per person. The food was well prepared and was delicious, served by friendly and helpful staff. We had an enjoyable eating experience and we have no reservation to recommend this restaurant to family members and/or friends.

From the moment you step into this hotel you feel special We have only been to the Bedford twice and both on a Twixmas Break From the food to the staff everything is to our taste The breakfast is vast and suits every taste from fruits cereal and haddock The dinner is five star quality.....Beautifully presented and served by pleasant well trained staff...the rooms are tastefully decorated and immaculate

You could not find a better place to eat. The Chef brilliant got so many awards which he deserves. The place is always full from locals to visitors and people who stay in the Hotel. Would not go anywhere else.

We recently attended our annual dance weekend and it was fabulous. Would absolutely recommend it!! The staff, hotel accommodation and food are top notch

Thank you to all the team at the Bedford Hotel who looked after my mum & dad, friends and family as we celebrated her 80th Birthday. We had 3 tables for 27 in the ballroom. The room looked fabulous - perfect size for our group. The afternoon tea was delicious and fresh. Everything went down a treat. My absolute favourite was the mini trifles but it was all superb. The staff couldn’t do enough to help. We all had the most wonderful time. Thank you. 🎂🍰🧁

Because the weather was so bad we treated ourselves to lunch in the coffee shop, The food was tasty and delicious I had a sausage and onion toasty with salad, I very rarely eat a full sanwich (Mrs Awkward Rides again!) But I ate all of this, The staff were very friendly ane efficient and there was low music/singer in the background. Another lady who was a guest at the hotel said it was her favourite hotel and I can see why!

I had booked a table of 8 for afternoon tea, it was an important event as the guests were from overseas and never visited the area. Sonya, the manager, was extremely helpful from helping with the booking to arranging a splendid table setting for the tea. The afternoon tea was exquisite and throughly recommended, several guests opted for scones and, again, gave high praise.

40 seasoned diners met for a charity Sunday lunch at the Bedford Hotel. The function room was ideal and beautifully prepared with the Xmas 2018 decorations as a very nice bonus. Food and service to the usually high Bedford standard. The only downside is a chronic lack of parking. Never expect to get onto the forecourt. All in all a superb experience. A return is a certainty.

Great atmosphere, table with white table clothes beautifully ironed. The presentation of each dish was just perfect, paying attention to detail. The quality of the local sourced ingredient makes each dish delicious. The soup was home made just like the bread, taste wonderful. I think you should go and try this food as soon as possible.

Enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch at a very reasonable price. Good choice of starters, main meals and desserts. It’s also coffee and mints included in the price. This represents excellent value. The quality of the food was brilliant and we all enjoyed it. Will return.

My friend and I visited the Bedford Hotel for Sunday Lunch. We'd heard of its reputation from friends at the bowling club. On arrival it was exceptionally busy however we were greeted with a warm reception and the most beautiful live music in the reception area of the hotel. The hotel is spotless and a credit to the staff and management. The food was piping hot with a varied menu to suit all tastes and palates although we chose the very plentiful traditional Roast Beef. The bar tender was so polite, a well dressed young man who knew his job well and suggested wines when we asked. The Bedford is an experience of how Sunday Lunch should be, nothing is rushed and it is on our list as the best Sunday Lunch in the area. Beautiful food with fine wines and great music. We also got our request played by the lady playing music. Great chefs and lovely staff, We would highly suggest booking beforehand as the hotel is very busy. Thank you for a great dining experience. We shall return soon.

The menu provides customers with a good choice of food including a vegetarian option.The food is of a very high standard and well priced.

Spotless dining room. Service was prompt and polite. Good choice of food, delicious and hot. I cannot abide lukewarm food. Same with the coffee shop.

Best food ever in any hotel in Lytham could not fault it good choice Good service friendly you won't beat it

The food is second to none. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. The quality of the ingredients is excellent Cooked to perfection. We have stayed at the Bedford many times over the last few years and it cannot be beaten in its own category.

I visited with our church group on Sunday and was once again very impressed with the quality of food and service.

This is our 6th visit to the Bedford it never fails to impress. We always have lunch in the Cafe when we arrive. Lovely chicken Pannini with salad. My husband had the cottage pie. It's all home made and delicious. We are then half board and lovely full English breakfast and three course dinner. Fresh food. Excellent.

Primera visita a este hotel para nosotros y sorprendentemente para un mar, el nivel es muy alto. Gran servicio, excelente comida y una muy agradable habitación amueblada. No puedo pedir más!

Los padres de mi marido reservado para una estancia aquí por 2 noches, ya que no teníamos experiencia en el hotel, mi marido y yo llamé para tomar café y un tentempié a la hora del almuerzo en el café.

Nos hemos estado alojando en el hotel Bedford durante muchos años. Siempre nos hemos alojado en la misma habitación disfrutando de la comida y un fabuloso restaurante y luego baile quemar calorías en su amplio salón de baile. Elegimos para pasar el fin de semana santa y el cumpleaños de mi marido en nuestra experiencia anterior. El restaurante es eficiente, con un personal agradable y atento, hacen un esfuerzo adicional. El desayuno es un amplio buffet de frutas y cereales, junto con la opción de desayuno caliente todo cocinado, jugo de fruta, té y café. La cena es una selección de ingredientes menued producen una excelente relación calidad-precio. Los pudines son para morirse. Los chefs son excelentes sus comidas son más. También tienen una cafetería que sirve aperitivos y comidas a través del día

Disfrutamos de la comida en este hotel. La comida era de buena calidad y una buena elección de menú. Yo lo describiría como platos de comida sencilla. . . . Agradable y saludable.. El personal era excelente, muy acogedor y extremadamente servicial. . . . . . Nada era demasiada molestia para ellos. Tenía la sensación de ir a casa de alguien en vez de un hotel, eso es lo agradable que era.

Aniversario de Boda asistieron a un almuerzo de Golden y mientras nuestra mesa 20 plazas larga era un poco estrecha para el espacio, el servicio, la comida y el ambiente eran excelentes.

La mesa estaba muy bien distribuido, ropa de mesa y agradable. Ahora bien para la comida las opciones eran adecuados para todas las edades y gustos. Tuve melón y sobet genial. Mi principal era muy tierna carne asada con todo lo fantástico, luego una antigua...

Es un tiempo que visitamos este hotel. La última vez que fuimos fue para una función privada. Decidimos volver y no nos decepcionó. Tuvimos un almuerzo suptious con nuestra familia en el hotel Bedford. El hotel ha sido colocar desde nuestra última visita no había perdido su carácter y encanto. Desde el momento en que llegamos, el ambiente se sentía muy especial con una sensación de lujo para el salón. Al entrar en el hotel, tuvimos una agradable sorpresa con un pianista que era de primera clase. Tuvimos bebidas antes del almuerzo, en el bar se sirve una señora encantadora educado joven que era muy amable y bien informado. Tuvimos una comida hermosa, preciosa productos locales. No me puedo quejar de nada con personal experimentado. Nos sirvieron muy bien. Café y menta nos sirven en el bar y nos relajamos y escucho la música encantadora de la señorita cantante que tocaba el piano. Amplio estacionamiento en el aparcamiento y cerca.

Nos dimos a almorzar en el hotel Bedford, y me sorprendió encontrar bastante concurrida aunque era entre semana. Pronto descubrí por qué! El lugar es muy popular porque es muy bueno. Excelente servicio, comida deliciosa, impecable loos - todo lo que sería la esperanza. Recomendado.

The food and service in this restaurant is excellent.We ate here on our 3 night stay at the hotel and can certainly recommend it.

Two lovely surprises - first to win a meal for 2 in a raffle- secondly to find such excellent food in a 3 star hotel. Although reminiscent of hotels of my childhood the food is contemporary and the service friendly and efficient. The bread we were first served was home made and delicious. Melon and sea bass starters were imaginative and tasty. Roast pork dinner and roast cod were both perfectly cooked as were the accompanying veg. Crumble and assiette of chocolate desserts were both a delight. Coffee and mints completed our meal.Tables are very close together and the live music irritating but neither of these factors really detracted from an excellent Sunday lunch.

Stayed for a weekend break at the hotel. All meals were of an extremely high standard of cooking and presentation. This hotels restaurant is of a far higher standard than anyone would expect from a 3 star rated hotel. Can't wait to get back their to eat again.

We were staying at another hotel in St Annes but ate at the Bedford on the two nights we were here. We ate from the Table de Hote menu both times, the 1st night we had the 3 courses for £25 and the 2nd night 2 courses for £20. There were a few choices of starters, mains & desserts. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented and the service was very quick even though the restaurant was packed on night 2. The waiters were nice and friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself is quite classy and is a really nice place to eat at.

The food hear is first class in both taste, choice and presentation. Well done to the chef. The staff are efficient and friendly too.

On TDH Menu, but the choice and quality was first rate. Lovely surroundings. Local produce so was very impressed

I met with a friend and was amazed as a local to find just how many venues in St Annes were closed on a Monday. Luckily we found ourselves at the Bedford for a light lunch. Lovely fresh sandwiches with tasty garnish. Good quality tea and coffee served at the correct temperature by very friendly, efficient staff in clean comfortable surroundings. What more could we ask? Then we were offered a loyalty card. Yay! See you again soon

stayed for sunday evening meal the roast beef was so tender and the veg was cooke just right. lovely desserts unfortunately.

Had an absolutely fabulous evening. Family meal 5 star and entertainment and dance. Thank you the bedford for making it happen. The Penns X

Good menu available with plenty of chose, quality of food excellent and presented well. Cannot fault it at all.

This restaurant is superb. The food is beautifully presented and well cooked. The service is fast and efficient and the table settings are immaculate. I can well understand why this restaurant has been awarded a Rosette. They seem to adhere to traditional standards which are not easily found nowadays. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are dining with someone very special to you. The level of care taken by the staff will speak volumes about you and why you have chosen to take them there.

Sunday lunch was served piping hot and the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, without being obtrusive. The waitress in charge made sure that everything ran smoothly for our family group of 10, ranging from 11 to 90 years young, as we celebrated our aunt's special birthday. The waitress supplied candles for the special celebration cake we brought with us and offered to cut it up and wrap the pieces for guests to take home. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed; I know that the birthday girl certainly enjoyed the occasion. :-)

Menu changed daily so great variety if you are staying at the hotel. Lots of tea and coffee to follow

Excellent dining with helpfull and pleasant staff and surroundings.Food good and varied menu,Enjoyable experience.The visitors were pleased with the accommodation too.

The setting for Mother's Day Sunday lunch was lovely - the room we dined in was absolutely lovely - white table cloths - flowers on the table - decorated chairs and the organ being played. The food was exceptional, a very good selection and beautifully cooked. Homemade bread was placed on the table, jugs of water, the service was also very friendly and very quick. I had lamb which was absolutely delicious as was the ham terrine starter. The three small deserts to finish our meal were beautifully presented - exceptional and coffee all for £18.50 exceptional value. I will definitely visit again - our party of 5 just thought the whole experience was lovely. The reception staff, bar staff and dining room staff so friendly and helpful. If in St Annes please visit you will not be disappointed, We have dined out for Mother's day for the past 15 years - this was most certainly the best! Thank you Bedford Hotel.

The Bedford Hotel rates highly in my estimation. Everything is freshly cooked and piping hot as it reaches the table; for me, that is a huge plus, but the quality of the ingredients they use is always top notch, and then the cooking is of the highest order. During our recent stay, the slow cooked blade steak simply melted and the sea bass was meaty and well flavoured. The service is attentive without being overbearing. Just relax and enjoy your meal!

Four friends and I (ladies who lunch!) had lunch at The Bedford on the 10th February 2015. As on all the previous occasions, we enjoyed the lovely surroundings, with excellent staff and yummy food, served piping hot, not to mention the gorgeous pancakes with icecream and maple syrup! It's so much more pleasant lunching/dining at The Bedford than a pub - we'll be back again soon.

We enjoy the Bedford because, on Sunday lunch, you are treated to fine cuisine and proper linen napkins and table cloths. Sunday lunch can be busy so we always book in advance. The staff are attentive and the food is anything but "school dinners". A wide range of food on offer with desserts to die for.

First class food and excellent, friendly service for over 60 ladies. Well done Bedford Hotel you've done it yet again. Here's to next Christmas.

A group of six ladies, who go several times a year to the Bedford, went for lunch on Wednesday 9th December. The hotel is beautifully decorated for Christmas and, even though it was extremely busy with various functions, the service and the food was excellent. We had a variety of main courses, all served piping hot, and four of us had the gorgeous pancakes for dessert, one had Christmas Pudding with Rum Sauce, and one had Chocolate Nut Sundae. As always, we all had a thoroughly enjoyable time, and will be returning in the New Year.

Only a small area received for casual diners. The larger restaurant seems to be for clients staying at the hotel. Always have a :Specials Board: which is most reasonably priced and various nice deserts. Coffee is always good and service friendly.

based on the breakfast we had it was very good food, excellent choice of food in lovely surroundings,

Marvellous afternoon tea the staff were great. it was my birthday and they came with a small cake on a platter with a candle on top and sang happy birthday to me, made my day.

Been here a few times for Sunday lunch. They have a nice menu with traditional meals and also slightly different things as well which is nice because there's always been something for everyone. Only ever had one bad experience with a slightly tough piece of beef but not put me off.

Excellent menu. Breakfast menu particularly good. Well presented, fresh locally sourced food served by attentive staff.

This is a typical traditional seaside hotel which is great to visit on a cold miserable day and enjoy the type of food and service you would expect at the seaside

Loved the choice, quality and presentation. The service was friendly and helpful. Breakfast served at the table was a real bonus!

all home made food and excellent service. breakfast made on order and not buffet. nothing was too much trouble

I enjoyed all the meals I had chosen from their menus. There was plenty of choice on the Friday and Saturday evenings to satisfy most palates. The breakfast menu was comprehensive.

We booked here as we had been given a Gourmet afternoon tea voucher for Christmas. First impressions were excellent: the coffee shop was really busy, but not so busy that the waitresses ignored us, which was a good start. There were no clear tables and the waitresses quickly cleared a table that had just been vacated, cleaning it completely. A pot of tea was ordered and arrived promptly! After a short wait afternoon tea was brought to us - we had also ordered a ploughman's for me (my wife was having afternoon tea). The ploughman's was very tasty, particularly the pate. However, the star of the show was definitely the afternoon tea - although advertised for one there was plenty for two. 3 different types of sandwiches (salmon, egg and ham) on brown and white, a sultana scone and a cherry scone served with butter, jam and cream, coffee and walnut cake and a slice of Victoria sponge. All totally delicious. The price was very reasonable (£9.95) for the afternoon tea, although obviously we had the voucher to cover that! Great quality, nice surroundings and helpful staff. We're definitely going to go back.

I booked the Dinner as a surprise for my wife. It met all our expectations, lovely meal served in the ballroom, crisp white table linen, candle lit and accompanied by light music from the resident pianist. Our meal was four course from the pre advertised selection. The choice was brilliant, beautifully served and presented. And all for a price that was not loaded because of the date!Thank you everyone who made our evening.!The Bedford is a super Hotel for a holiday or weekend break everything is done to please the Guests and, it even has a coffee shop (Serendipity )serving light lunches or snacks. So put the Bedford on" Your where to stay list" when visiting the Fylde coast------ you will not be disappointed.

Two friends and I went to the Bedford Hotel at St Annes on the 14th January 2015 for lunch. There were several specials, and we all opted for the loin of lamb, with mashed potatoes and roast potatoes, green beans and carrots, with a jug of gravy and a bowl of mint sauce. Two of us followed this with pancakes, icecream and maple syrup (absolutely yummy) and one had apple pie with custard, which she said was excellent. We finished with two lattes and one pot of tea, each with a shortbread biscuit. As usual, everything was beautifully presented and very tasty. We were served by the Irish waitress (one of these days I'll ask her name!) who couldn't be more helpful, friendly and efficient. We'll be back again soon! Highly recommended.

80 friends and relations celebrating the life of a very good friend of my wife and I, were served with a very wonderful buffet of beautifully cooked meats and pastries, tasty salads etc., all served by friendly and efficient waitresses.The dining room was set out with 8 round tables seating 10 on each, all decorated in white coverings. Absolutely beautiful.I can definately recommend the restaurant as we all found it faultless.

Ooops, I've just reviewed this on the hotel site rather than the dining experience. Four friends and I had lunch yesterday at the Bedford. It's an amazing experience. We've lunched there a couple of times in the past year, and each time it's been a lovely experience, with the same two waitresses looking after us, both of whom are really efficient, helpful and friendly. Three of us had fish and chips, one had ham, eggs and chips, and I had one of the specials - duck with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The food was excellent - beautifully presented, piping hot and delicious. Four of us had pancakes with maple syrup and icecream for dessert, and one had chocolate sundae - again, all beautifully presented and delicious. The ambience of the restaurant is very relaxing. As usual, I can't wait to go again!

Staff very efficient and helpful. Good choice of menu. Good value for money. We have stayed at the Bedford on several occasions and can highly recommend the hotel and restaurant, as it never fails to meet our expectations with excellent choicenof food.

We had an excellent meal here. Everything seemed to be home made and the service was excellent. There could have been a little more choice especially for vegetarian. We would definitely visit there again

Had four evening meals all were excellent staff well trained and pleasant Each 3 course meal was well cooked and tasty

My son treated my sister, myself and grandaughter to Sunday lunch for a birthday treat and it was excellent. The restaurant was full and ''buzzing'' but the staff were on top form and everything ''flowed'' perfectly. the food was delicious and the atmosphere great. We all had a really good time and will definitely going back soon.

my wife visited for dinner last friday and were in the middle of a large drama group spending the weekend there nevertheless the service and food were very good quality and value if served a lillle earlier than we would have liked. the real drama and highlight of the evening however was provided yt the owners parrot entertaining us all night from his cage in reception - an absolutute scream - I was in stitches!

We went to the restaurant for Mother's Day - it was my choice because we had our wedding reception here....a good few years previously. We had our meal in the very same room, the Domitia Suite ballroom. It brought back very happy memories. The food we had last sunday was faultless & the staff were very attentive. The gift of homemade shortbread for myself & my daughter was a nice touch & delicious too. We shall visit more often.

excellent food and service just like mum used to cook .all food and sweets home made a must for food aficionados .

I went for lunch at the Bedford again on the 29th January with two friends. Much quieter than just before Christmas, but excellent surroundings, excellent food, excellent staff - what more can you ask for? We'll be going again soon!

I went to the Bedford Hotel yesterday for the first time for lunch with four friends. What a wonderful hotel/restaurant. We were greeted by a wolf-whistle from Tinker, the grey parrot, near the Reception Desk! The Christmas decorations were beautiful. The hotel was very busy with Christmas parties. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. The food was superb. Three of our party had one of the specials, shoulder of lamb with mashed potato, one had Ploughman's, and I had the afternoon tea. Three had pancakes, with various toppings and ice-cream and one had nut sundae, followed by tea/coffee with little Christmas tree-shaped shortcake biscuits. The meals were all beautifully presented, and absolutely faultless. Our lovely Irish waitress was extremely helpful, patient and efficient. It was a truly enjoyable occasion, and we can't wait to go again!!

Well presented and beautifully cooked service brilliant tables nicely set out plenty of room for comfort. Waiter service excellect

My mum's choice was not on the men for the evening but this was no problem for the chef, the food served was excellent and a 3 course meal is only £23.50

The Menu had a good choice but was very pricey considering the cost for a 2 course meal £18.60 , should have gone to a restaurant in town

Beautifully presented, excellent choice, locally sourced where possible and extremely flavoursome food.

My wife, my mum and I called in for scones (I had jam & cream) and coffee. The food and the service was excellent.

I used to take my mum here. We went about 3 times. Lovely food, decent sized bedrooms. Staff very friendly.

Had Sunday lunch at the hotel. The hotel bar and restaurant are very traditional but very pleasant .The Sunday lunch seems to be very popular with the more mature customer . The food was very good, with a good selection of dishes on the menu . Overall it is very good value for money and all the staff were lovely. Would go back again for the traditional Sunday lunch experience .

we atayed as a hotel guest but the restaurant was the same for non residents and the food and service is great but it is not cheap

we have been to the Bedford hotel for meals before and as we were passing called in to the coffee shop and asked about the evening menue for saturday night it was called the Christmas Day Menue with turkey and crackers ect so we booked for it and was not dissapointed the meal was lovely no complaints and look forward to eating and staying there again.

The Bedford tends to be favoured by the older generations, either locals or on seaside holidays, and the services are geared to match. The quality of catering is high, and there are several options on-site: a coffee shop, restaurant, and bar. The hotel runs occasional theme weekends, while the restaurant puts on an excellent value Sunday lunch menu. Service is friendly and flexible according to needs.
