Bistro Twenty Four in Central Bedfordshire

We regularly visit the Bistro and are really pleasef with the food, service and the relaxed environment. We really missed going there when it closed for a period earlier this year. It is a great commumity resource for the area I urge locals to support the business.

Great food lovely stuff , good prices would definitely recommend and I'd definitely go back

Great food and decent portions. Would recommened and will go again. Slightly expensive but not fussed due to quality of food. Friendly staff. Minor one but high chair does not fit in between table legs so ends up sticking out and felt slightly in the way due to this as was next to a walkway.

Good atmosphere,Friendly staff. Shame they don't do food in the evening as promised.

Love this place, more low-key than the other pubs in Toddy, more for the discerning drinker, amazing breakfasts, really good food, friendly welcoming staff, big screens for the footie pop in and relax 👍👍

Lovely bistro set in the heart of Toddington . Well worth a visit by any visitor

Visited for lunch today. It was not very busy, but we waited over 10 minutes to be served and in the end we went up to the counter to place our order and paid. Then waited about for the food to be served over 15 minutes. I ordered the club sandwich and I would have expected more the a single rasher of bacon with my order. All other customers were taken sauces following their orders, but we had to get up and get them from another table as we were not offered any. I would have actually said something but no one came over to ask how the food was or seemed interested. We ate and the food which was nice and my wife enjoyed the egg, chips and beans, no one acknowledged us when leaving to say goodbye so again we could not provide feedback.

Been a few times. Always busy with friendly staff and a good range of dishes: breakfasts, sandwiches and mire substantial meals available. Good coffee and tasty cakes. Some outside seating too. Lovely village setting.

Had a fantastic meal here last night, great service food arrived quickly and very reasonably priced. Lucky to have this in our village. Had pizza and ordered off tapas menu, pizza’s here are really good.Would highly recommend

Gutted I didn’t know about this place when I lived in the area, came down visiting on route To London airports. lovely cafe, food was delicious, dog friendly indoors, reasonable prices too. Family friendly, kid friendly.

Had a brownie 😋 it was very nice quick service not bad place most probably go back 😀

Great tasting breakfasts for me and our family. Traditional or Vegan Breakfast enjoyed by all. Brilliant service, competitively priced. Definitely will be going back. Clean toilet, food atmosphere even on a dull rainy Saturday morning. Great venue after Saturday morning park run or for a catch up with friends and family. Nothing was too much trouble for Peter and his helpful team. Highly recommend suitable for all ages and small or large groups. Free parking outside or across the road. Photo does not do justice to great tasting hot food

This was our second visit , Had a lovely evening ,food and service excellent. Made to feel very welcome , definitely recommend 😊 hi Hy

Another wonderful dinner had by us. The steaks just melted in our mouths! The generous accompaniments were also really tasty. Excellent value for money too. Thank you Pete and staff.

Lively bistro with a friendly atmosphere

Our Family used Bistro Twenty Four after the funeral of my Mum. We booked a small room at the back for a celebration of a long life. Sandwiches and snacks were ordered in advance from the restaurant and a Bar was there for hot and cold drinks. It was perfect. Bearing in mind we had just come from a Funeral the balance. feel and vibe of the restaurant was just right. Sandwiches & food were great and LOADS for the money we paid. Beer, wine and drinks were reasonably priced and the Beer was cold. The staff are young and did their absolute best, they were a great combination of attentive but without being too much. Bearing in mind the situation the staff were very good and the youth and odd mistake made in ordering brought an element of fun and laughter at a difficult time. We overstayed our booked time by ages but there was no pressure to leave....I found Bistro Twenty Four just Perfect - Thank you

Very nice cafe, great quality food and friendly accommodating staff. Lots of space and always made to feel welcome

Great food and service this evening as always from Pete and the team.

Visited here for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago. The people who run this are very friendly, and the service was great. We had a lovely hot latte and bacon rolls that were perfect. Didn't know this place was dog friendly as well. Which was a nice bonus for my little dog to join us for breakfast. Will return again in the future.

Enjoyable lunch time experience.

Had a rare day eating here with my husband and father in law for both lunch and evening meal. I had the cheese and bacon burger for lunch and a rustichella pizza for my dinner. Both were delicious and served hot. The staff are friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is chilled and friendly. Definitely recommend as the best place to eat/drink in Toddington and surrounding area.

Had the rare privilege of eating both lunch and dinner here today. I had the cheese and bacon burger for lunch and in the evening enjoyed a number of glasses of Prosecco and the rustichella pizza. Both were served hot, both were mouth-wateringly delicious. The atmosphere is chilled and friendly and the staff are wonderful. Can’t recommend this place enough. Such a gem.

We had lunch here today 20/10/23, with our daughter and grandson, a pleasant experience, with well presented food reasonably priced, in a relaxed atmosphere, with friendly efficient staff.

Best breakfast for miles. The bacon is the best I have ever tasted. Young lad waiter, didn't get his name, polite, professional, confident and really nice lad, chatted football to my young son. A true credit to the business and his parents. Unfortunately a Liverpool supporter but other than that top fella. Friendly team of staff and owner. Highly recommended 👌

Lovely bistro, very popular with the locals. Friendly welcome and service; lovely coffee and delicious cakes. Children's playground just over the road with a big field.

Had the best breakfast here, great staff too. Attention to detail 👌

We stopped off here for a quick dinner on our way down to London. The staff were friendly, the restaurant was quiet and we enjoyed a lovely, reasonably priced meal. For a family of 4 with 4 meals and 2 alcoholic drinks we paid just over £40 which we thought was very reasonable. The chilli con carne and curry were delicious and the kids both enjoyed scampi and chips. All in all a cheap and cheerful meal out.

Our first visit - a convenient halfway point for both of us from opposite directions. Great service, yummy food and a great place for a get-together. Deserved to be busier (but we were quite early!). Thanks for looking after us! 👍 😁

En route home from London to the north we picked a random town and went for breakfast. The cafe was empty but the staff were cheerful and attentive and we ordered, sausage egg and bacon barm and a full breakfast. The food was delicious and fresh and the lovely dognat the table next to us was hoping for a treat. We also had a chocolate brownie which was a mix of gooey and crispy We definitely picked a winner.

Never recieved an order. Waited to be served more than 40min one time, and I thought we will give it a chance again today. 2nd time similar situation, but couldn't afford to wait again for so long so we left after seeing no interest in service at all...

Came in for breakfast with my father. Lovely and friendly staff, clean and nicely decorated place and the breakfast was well cooked and delicious. We'll definitely be coming back.

Our first experience here. Great food reasonable prices. Lovely staff very polite and professional. We will be visiting again

Fantastic venue. Great service. Food was amazing.

Great place for breakfast and a chat with friends 😀

Popped in for a coffee as it was raining. Service was good, polite and we were served promptly. All the staff seemed very young and all appeared to be drinking from cans behind the service counter. 2 cans looked like Red Bull. One lady undid her hair, tidied it, tied it back up and then handled food. Another female had her long hair loose and was delivering plates of food to customers. A male sneezed onto the back of his hand and then picked up 2 plates of food. I felt that hygiene is not a priority. I have eaten here before but might not in the future.

Small and busy little bistro, had a lovely panini for lunch and staff were very attentive and friendly. Would recommend for lunch.

Had a great night yesterday with family at the Bistro Bar on the High Street. Food and service 2nd to none. Highly recommend

Excellent customer service, food and drink well priced and delicious

Lovely lunchtime food. Laughing with the staff and they were both very nice. Thank you

Love this place. Best sausage and bacon bap I've had in a while... Was great watching people come and go while I waited for my car to be serviced... Felt welcome and staff were lovely 🎈

Great Team at Bistro Twenty Four make it one of the best around. Great beer, awesome pizzas and friendly atmosphere. Always feel welcome. Keep it up Pete and Team!

Value for money, friendly, fresh food ,

Fantastic staff wonderful food, great choices

First time eating here. I had Eggs Benedict and was a little disappointed that the ham wasn’t thick cut from a gammon joint but sliced ham

Food was tasty and service was good.

Visiting the area,I googed cafe for breakfast and this pkace czmd up in top 10..A lovely breakfast we had, service was good and clean and friendly. There are a few step to toilets, my mum has difficulty with steps and banister was loose .

It's a comfortable place to go and have a cup of coffee and a English breakfast Friendly staff, and at night turns to a Bar 🍸, enjoy 😉.

Given one menu between three people and expected to know our order within five minutes of arriving; well, that’s the attitude of the young lady serving us as she blatantly rolled her eyes at us because we weren’t ready to order! The second time the young lady came to take our order, the last of our party was trying to find the pizza on the menu (as well as clearly trying to keep an eye on her small child!) as it is on the downloadable version from the website and clearly advertised on the café’s Facebook cover photo!! To help my friend out, I asked the lady serving us if the café still served pizza, to which she replied no and did we need extra time, then once again rolled her eyes when we answered yes to needing a bit more time. I’d understand if the café was busy, but there were only three other small groups of customers in the café. It was just utter rudeness! The young lady is obviously very inexperienced when it comes to customer service and would benefit from further training/shadowing of more experienced staff. In addition to this, if pizza is no longer on offer, the café needs to seriously update what they are advertising online! I ordered the cauliflower aloo gobi dhansak jacket potato. The dhansak was so stodgy and tasteless, I didn’t enjoy it. At no point did any of the staff check to see if our food was to our satisfaction. Apart from the young lady taking our order having rolled her eyes at us twice, there was no contact from the staff until we got up to pay; the staff couldn’t move quick enough to clear our plates!! A disappointing experience, particularly as this café USED to have outstanding service and fantastic food! Wouldn’t recommend with its current standards.

A pleasant enough premises HD the eggs Benedict with crushed avocado just hit the spot. The young lady who served us was very nice and smiled a lot. Note to the owner listen to staff and buy a new large teapot there as there was more tea on the table than in the cups

Good food and good service. Recommend it.

Always great service. Lovely place.

Expensive but good food and good service

Great pizzas and nice beer throughly recommend!!

Great pizza’s,great atmosphere and great beer!

Fantastic service, beer and pizza! What more could you possible ask for.... highly recommended!!!!!

Great place good food friendly atmosphere highly recommend

Great location, really nice place with great food.

We held our end of year Moto GP party here, it was great fun, atmosphere was good, pizza’s tasty, the beer was cold, and the service was excellent, I think this will become our go to meeting point.

Nice clean friendly establishment with good food and a nice environment!! 5stars

Nice staff, great choice of food which is cooked perfectly, highly recommended.

Would recommend a visit. Food is well cooked & cleanly presented.

We had pizza takeaway, was amazing😊

Nice stop off walking the dog food is lovely

Great food and service. Lovely staff. Good varied menu.

Fab service from the moment you step through the doors..... The team is small however they are so friendly and do anything for you. The Bistro is a nice buzzing place to be, great food and drinks & take care of the kiddies when visiting with them. The live music events held here are great too and bring more joy to the place. Thank you, we will defiantly keep returning.

Very good , quick service and pleasant staff . Highly recommended

Recommended by local library ladies so visited for lunch with elderly mother. Great parking outside good greeting & assistance for disabled mother. Great menu so chose baked potato with tuna/sweet corn & a bacon Brie panini. Swift service with a smile & efficiency. Loved busy Friday lunch atmosphere. Staff & customers very chatty & friendly. Delightful well done.

The small girl with blonde hair was so rude and I'm pretty sure there was spit in my drink ,she kissed her teeth at me and rolled her eyes when I asked to order more food on top of my order ,I am not going again as I felt a 15 year old girl was trying to belittle me

Good food from a local restaurant please support our local food outlets

Lovely place to relax and enjoy lovely food and service

Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere.

We have had a few lockdown takeaways which have all been delicious! Free local delivery and brilliant friendly service. Never had a bad meal and very family friendly. 10 out of 10!

Great place to meet up with friends ! Great menu available and a fully licensed bar ! Take away also available

Great service and fantastic atmosphere 👏 👍🏼

In these unusual times it's trickier than you might think to find somewhere for lunch on a Tuesday - many pubs keep the kitchens closed at the start of the week for obvious reasons. Bistro Twenty Four was a new one on me as I don't pass through Toddington as often as was once the case thanks to new roads, but this is a great place to bear in mind if you're looking for refreshment on the M1 and would prefer not to be limited to a service station. There's a comprehensive breakfast menu until noon, and a good range of lunchtime plates which include pub-like possibilities (sausage, egg and chips) and generous burgers as well as pizza, interesting veggie options and bags of choice. Not sure how late in the day the lunch menu stretches, but there's an evening snacks menu to go with the drinks licence and a special offer cocktail list - whatever time of day you want to drop in, they're ready for you. It looks small from the main road but it widens out once you're beyond the door, lots of space and high standards of cleanliness, staff were swift, smiley and efficient. All our lunch choices went down well, and the cake display looked good enough to tempt us to take some home. Prices very reasonable, one to file away in the memory bank.

Dog friendly, serving gluten free options and very knowledgeable about gf... lovely staff... what more could you ever want? We went for breakfast and then stayed for cake!!! We are going back tomorrow!!!

We ordered takeaway of a halloumi burger and fish finger sandwich. We had to wait 30 minutes as something went wrong in the kitchen, and the fish finger sandwich ordered in brown bread was served in a white panini and was really badly cooked. We couldn't be bothered to complain and wait another 30 minuted for the correct order.

Good selection of drinks and very friendly staff! Quite enjoyed the evening with my friends with lovely food

On enquiring what a bacon and cheese lunch consists of i simply wanted a bacon and cheese roll...and she said its a bacon and cheese bap...so I expected that to arrive ..when ordered came to the table it was the full meal of burger bacon cheese and chips ..which was never mentioned...I admit I did not say anything then as was so taken aback...when settling the bill we mentioned this and she said I will adjust the bill as she could see the error...bare im in mind none of the rest of the food was touched as would never in Million years would I have had this ..I commented the bill had not been adjusted and she replied because it had been served we had to pay !!! If we had said straight away she said she could have eaten it herself for her lunch...I just think this was VERY unfair ..so the bill was 27 pounds for 3 sandwiches

First time trying this Cafe today, staff polite. We ordered lasagne which came out very burnt and hard on the top layer. You can blatantly see it was hard and burnt so why serve it? Surely if you were worried about the quality of your food you would not serve that. To me it shows you saw it burnt but just thought about trying it and not losing the money on having to cook another.

Lovely location mixed decoration I didnt understand if there was a theme. Food portions designed for kids or oaps

Had lunch the other day, staff were friendly and helpful we were seated quickly. The BLT was full of bacon, however the Club sandwich is not a club sandwich, it is sold as a Club sandwich on the menu but you only get a standard sandwich, plus one slice of bacon across the whole sandwich, I thought a bit mean when the BLT was packed with bacon. Plus I thought patrons were meant to have their details taken for tack and trace? No details were taken from us nor from what I could see from anyone entering the place, they might have taken details for people who had pre-booked.

As the title suggests, this place is lovely! During covid they supplied the locals with takeaway service! Contactless and faultless! Always good communication on times or waits! Foods always piping hot and delicious! Will be back!

Great little bar. The Boston brewery Beer on tap is particularly good!

Great social distancing. Service not so great. Coffee not so great.

Lovely breakfast, good service.

Great service lovely people, had a great night there. I would definitely go back

Relaxed friendly atmosphere. Good choice of food and drinks.

Went with friends to this lovely little bistro food was very good mostly homemade the atmosphere very good. A nice choice of deserts prices very good will definitely be going back.

Very nice food and a nice atmosphere drinks and food reasonable.

Quiet, comfy, perfect for a spot of breakfast or lunch.

This is an excellent place. Superb full English breakfast and very friendly staff. Well recommended.

A great place to dine and relax the home cooked menu is amazing, their all day breakfast is one of the best you'll eat. All your needs catered for by friendly, helpful staff with a fine selection of wines, spirits and beers, Pete really knows how to create a warm, friendly, relaxing, atmosphere. We cannot wait to drop in for a breakfast, beer and a have chat in fine company when we are back in the area. If you're in Toddington you have to drop in and visit. You will want to come back again and again.

A nice little place, or, at least, it looks little on the outside but it goes back a long way and incorporates a bar for evening use plus a bistro counter where the food and drinks are ordered. Tea and coffee were good. Sandwiches were good too with a side of crisps. Not huge portions but probably about right given the distance travelled south from our usual haunts and the proximity to London. Good value though. Worth a visit for a quiet lunch and a rest in the middle of the village.

Not good service, poor ambience.

Good service, prices a reasonable, only downside was when ordering a soft drink the glasses provided didn't look particularly clean.

It is a very nice cafe and parking is easy

Absolutely fantastic BIG Breakfast! All the produce was of excellent quality and even though the menu says served til 12, and we didn’t order til 1, and they were busy, the chef kindly still did us two breakfasts! Will be back again soon!! 👍👍

Good value very clean and spacious
