Corner 5 in Bedford

Lovely restaurant, happy and efficient staff, and totally delicious food. I have been to this restaurant a number of times and have never been disappointed. The food is beautifully served and comes piping hot. We did have to try a dessert too, which was equally delicious.

Our favourite place to dine out locally. Sunday lunch for the two of us was, as ever, first class. Polite, professional staff and excellent food prepared and served in welcoming surroundings. Word of advice for would be diners: book early as they are understandably very popular.

First visit to Corner 5 which was recommended by a friend, we found it to be a really lovely place for Lunch, there was 4 of us, the restaurant was light airy and pleasantly laid out, we had a window table with views of the lake and optional water sports, where there was also a patio area, the Food was very good, we all had different options every one was served hot and very appetising, the menu was extensive enough for lunch with smaller lighter bite options, didn’t have desserts as the mains were filling enough, but had coffee and tea after, there was lots of free parking, and area would be great for a walk after a lovely meal. The staff were really good they were attentive but not over powering and provided a friendly atmosphere, the. Pricing for 4 of us was good, have paid more and not received such a good meal, will certainly go back and use the patio area especially in the summer where we could take the dogs (as they are not allowed in the restaurant).

Delicious food beautifully presented, in a pretty setting, on a sunny spring day. Our waitresses were delightful, attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend a trip to corner 5.

There for a funeral. Access with lift for wheelchair user. Staff were discretely moving around . I didn't eat (coeliac) but was told by partner food was nice.

Mother's Day dinner for 10. Plenty of parking, restaurant busy with a lovely buzz about it. Had a drink in the bar area before being seated. We had preordered & didn't wait long once seated. Fabulous lamb roast & the beef was good too. Plenty of veg & gravy & all nice & hot when served. Presentation immaculate too & the staff were attentive & friendly. Nice few hours spent with the family in a lovely atmosphere & we were all very pleased with our meals. Thank you team

Yesterday my husband and I visited Corner 5. It all started to go wrong when we waited almost 30mins for someone to take our drinks and food order. I had to go in and ask someone to please take our order. My husband ordered a pizza and I the chicken salad with chunky chips. I specifically asked for no feta as I am allergic and was told that would be fine. Another 30 mins later the food arrives with feta so had to go back in to tell them I’m allergic. They also forgot the chips I ordered which l had to ask for again. They brought fries instead of the chunky chips ordered. Another lady comes in and asks me whether I told them I was allergic which was rather annoying. I’m allergic so of course I told them. To be honest they didn’t even ask us before showing us to the table whether any of us had any allergies which all other restaurants do. I could have died. There was no real apology for the mistake whatsoever. Their mistake could have been incredibly dangerous. New salad arrived and there was no dressing. No flavour and chicken was dry. I ended up leaving very disappointed. The pizza my husband had was tasty. Worst of all no one came to check with us if the food was all ok considering the problems we had. We waited for a long time again and had to go in to request the bill. We asked the gentleman at the bar to remove the service charge as we felt we received no service at all but he even didn’t care why. He just said no problem and gave us the bill. Overall really disappointed. It’s such a shame because it’s a lovely location.

Enjoyed the afternoon meal fantastic service good atmosphere, look at your bill when you get it as they automatically add 10% service charge. This let it down for me.

Great venue with nice staff and a friendly relaxed atmosphere

Lunch trip with friends. Wanted soup but not on menu. Stop orders at 2.30pm as kitchen has to have a 2 hour break inbetween shifts but they were very accomodating as we were slightly late. Not hurried out. Food very nice. Prices standard.

Food was amazing and very reasonable. Lovely afternoon spent with friends . Staff were very attentive/polite. Did not feel rushed to move on

Myself and three others visited the corner 5 restaurant at box end for Sunday lunch. It was our first visit after it had been recommended to us by our friends. The restaurant had a very nice ambience, staff very friendly, especially the young waitresses who were all very sociable and attentive. Our small group all chose the roast beef, and we all agreed it was delicious. I would go so far as to say it was the best roast dinner I have had in many years. The beef was plentiful. Perfectly cooked and cut thick, not like the thin slices you often get served elsewhere. Altogether we would highly recommend the corner 5 restaurant.

Excellent for a Sunday roast! A lovely selection of desserts, went with a group of friends and everything was delicious. Would definitely visit again.

Exceptionnel is the one word description to complement our latest visit to Corner 5. Michelle and Sarah served our large table impeccably. The food and five star service could not have been any better. For the locals ‘in the know’ this restaurant is a good meeting place for family and friends. Offering good value, great portions, in unique surroundings is hard to beat. Definitely one of Bedford best kept secrets! The Restaurant is always evolving their menu making every visit unique. Looking forward to our next visit! Well done to the chef and team at Corner 5 restaurant.

I always enjoy the ambience of Corner 5, and the food very good, but yesterday I had probably one of the best meals I have ever had when eating out. It really was exceptional! I had Srirache & Honey Popcorn Chicken, followed with Hummus, Roast Squash, pickled vegetables, Pumpkin seeds and toasted flat bread. It was an ideal meal for a small appetite (well, not so small as I managed to eat everything. No leftovers at this meal.) Over the past few years, Corner 5 has definitely upped its game. The staff are excellent, attentive, friendly and efficient.

The food is good and I thought the portions generous. There is a choice of various dishes. For example, healthy options (some meat and salad dishes).The pleasant decor is light and modern. Service is friendly.

First time here on the 29th December with family and a great experience, fabulous food, superb staff and great value, good menu choice and fair pricing

Xmas lunch with our walking group - food was excellent, particularly as the restaurant was very busy. Great venue and as always, very friendly and helpful employees. Well done.

Delicious Christmas lunch with works colleague in delightful surroundings. Food was fabulous and piping hot. Slow service but it was very busy so no complaints. Great value for money and good sized portions. Highly recommended. We will be back next year.

The food is always consistently good, but what makes the whole experience so special are the wonderful staff who are always so friendly & welcoming.

Tonight December 13, 2024 we celebrated our Christmas party and as I'm new in the company it was my 1st time in the restaurant and it was the best meal! We had 3 courses. The staff were great! The DJ was incredible. You can request any songs. I have the most memorable and enjoyable night. First class and a Michelin restaurant in the making. Thank you so much Corner 5 for making my 1st experience the extra ordinary one! On valentines day my husband and I will celebrate our date to yours for sure! Thank you so much! 💓

We’ve been to Corner 5 several times and always been very satisfied with our choice. The venue is in a great location with great views of the water park. Large car park which needs resurfacing but that’s the only negative. The staff are always very friendly and the service is great. The menu is not huge but too much choice isn’t always a good thing and Corner 5 menu is just right. Always a varied selection of food which is beautifully cooked and presented. Never had a disappointing visit. We’ll be back!

Great ambience and of course a lovely location - even better in the summer of course! Very nice lunch - great food and good service.

Christmas party with better than average turkey dinner, a good evening was had

Came here for a Work Christmas dinner. It was my first time coming here, it is beautiful decorated with Christmas-themed items and trees and the place itself has a very nice and peaceful ambience. We had ordered all our meals weeks in advance from the Christmas menu. They had plenty of options and you can choose from 2 courses or 3 courses. To pre-book a table in advance, it was £10 per person, but this gets deducted from the final bill. The food was delicious and although the portions don’t look big, the meals were very heavy. Well worth the money and I would definitely come here again in the summer time so that I can see more of the view of Box End Park. There is also plenty of parking on the premises which is free.

We had attended many parties here at Corner 5 with welcoming staff, nice atmosphere & good food. Unfortunately, the most recent visit was appalling at our daughters 10th birthday, which was supposed to be a happy & memorable day as especially turning double digits for her birthday, which made her feel very sad. We will NOT be returning. Our party had also been left with disappointment as how we had been treated that day. We will be sharing our experience to family & friends to be warned of the service that you may THINK you'll receive vs what you'll actually receive on the day! We would like to add to the comments made via Corner 5 reply. We had a party booked for our 10 year daughters birthday party as previously attended before with no problem. Unfortunately, they did not provide the service on the day. We had taken a birthday cake for our daughter in the restaurant pre party & the staff glady received it & birthday balloons, so the staff clearly knew that we had prebooked our party. We had tried to communicate with your manager on the day & she was not interested in the slightest. Therefore, we felt it helpful for other people wishing to dine in a restaurant to think twice. You had accused us of being rude. How did it feel when one of your staff said in front of our daughter there is no party booked for our daughters birthday when all family & friends stood waiting to be seated. We don't think for a minute our behaviour was disgusting. The behaviour of the staff was totally unprofessional. You hadn't bothered to contact us to reason & reassure us so we could console our very upset daughter. You just added salt to the wounds & barred us. Thank-you

Wanted to take my wife somewhere different to celebrate her birthday and this was perfect. Amazing setting in a beautiful building. Food was of a high standard and I must say the staff were lovely. We sat looking out onto the lakes watching the comerants and moorhens diving, even a kingfisher bobbing about. Definitely going back for Sunday roast soon and drinks by the lake in summer.

What can I say , outstanding welcoming service , fabulous food . Staff couldn’t do enough for you . Even wrote Happy Birthday in my mum’s desert as a surprise. Can definitely recommend and to be able to see the water sports whilst you eat is an added bonus from looking at the walls of a standard restaurant 🤣. Will be returning . 👍

very pleasant location as you can watch water skiers whilst you dine on a nice window table like we had! Food and service were very good and we would certainly recommend it to others.

Excellent food & service, staff very friendly and efficient, table of 8 and all served at the same time. Would recommend.

Love going to the Corner Five it's so relaxing there the Service is lovely and the food never fails to please. See you soon 💓

12 of us went for a family 80th Birthday, food was lovely. Service was warm and attentive. We were all made to feel very welcome. I can’t recommend corner 5 enough. We all agreed we had a lovely time made more special by help with our decorations we brought. Thank you to all involved in making special memories for us x

What an amazing experience, the staff were very attentive but not too over powering, the food was presented very well and tasted excellent. Really recommend it.

We called at this place for a meal, were on an overnight trip from N Ireland for a funeral. Fantastic restaurant, friendly staff, delicious food and beautiful surroundings 😊

Lovely place with good food and good atmosphere.

My favourite place to visit with family. Always amazing food, stunning views and friendly service. Great choice of food and drinks and the view of the wakeboarding over the lake always keeps my children entertained.

great place to head out for lunch with friends or that special weekend date night. staff are friendly and approachable and will answer any questions you have about the menu or any dietary needs. beautiful setting, particularly on a sunny day.

Food with friends. Always a friendly, chilled atmosphere, and lovely food. Simple, varied menu, done well. Great job Corner 5.

A new member of staff was left unattended at times and missed my dessert and refill of a drink order. Unable to wait any longer. Regular staff were friendly and helpful. What we had to eat was very tasty with a good portion and enjoyable. Two soft drinks were luke warm on arrival. Facility really clean and tidy and well maintained

My self and my my daughter and amazing time. Excellent customer service. The food was amazing as always. Porton sizes are very good value for money. Thanks to all the staff x

Great food.Very good portions. Excellent service . It was busy but that didn't spoli our evening . We had a lovely evening and will be returning

Food excellent yet again, service spot on. Just missed out on 5* as unfortunately Corner 5 have removed the Guinness and replaced with Brewpoints Genesis 😢 Bring back the Guinness please Corner 5!

I was a guest at my Goddaughters 10th Birthday "party", sadly the "party" atmosphere was ruined by the staff stating (in front of the birthday girl) that they "dont do parties" and we had not been allocated anywhere to sit inside, as the restaurant was closed. When question about this, one member of staff with a real attitude said "we're doing you a favour by staying open and the chefs have had to stay on after lunch to cook your food". As were not allowed to sit in the restaurant (because it had to be set up for dinner service in 3 hourse time), we were offered the use of the outside dining space or bar area which was small and not suitable. This caused extreme upset to my Goddaughter and her parents, who had been reassured the "party" was booked, as food had been ordered in advance for 20 people, at some expense! Instead of being grateful for our custom, the so called manager accused my friend of upsetting her staff because she had got cross about their attitude and the situation (rightly so on such a special occasion). The fact that we had been there the year before without any issues and had been allowed to sit in the restaurant was dismissed and the manager didn't seem to care. The waiting staff stood around in the restaurant whilst we hurriedly pulled tables and chairs together outside, no-one offered to help. It was so windy that the special balloons that were meant to have been placed on the table had to be left inside. The entire waiting team remained in the restaurant chatting and socialising throughout our visit, which just led to further annoyance, as there was no real reason why we couldn't have sat inside. We were given a time to return the outside tables for dinner service, so what was the difference? I cannot review the food as i did not eat any for dietary reasons (pizza, chips, nachos), although it looked nice. Considering there are other reviews on this venue stating they've had parties here, makes me even more angry at how my Goddaughter and her family were treated. If the booking was going to cause such an issue for the staff, then it should never have been taken. I hope the staff of corner5 are happy with their behaviour, you ruined what sould have been a special 10th Birthday.

Horrible waited a hour for a meal got 5 chicken nuggets my friend got a pizza the size of his hand..

Had a meal here that was not good !the sea bass came with so much grease that just turned it to mush when we told the waitress she just said that’s the way it comes and didn’t offer to do anything about it so most of it was left my meal suppose double cheeseburger really only amounted to one burger in size and was overdone with the bacon like pork scratching they were not interested in offering any money off when I mentioned it when the bill came so needless to say we will not be back !!

Lovely food, friendly staff, nice location, great service 😁😁👍

Very good and the setting is very nice especially for lunch.

Really liked the food only downside was the speed of service the girls on duty were more interested in having a chat then serving people

Insanely good... the staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was insanely good... everything everyone had was superb.. And the Eton mess was one of the best puddings I have had. Beautiful setting next to the lake.. nice to have a wander around after eating. We will be back here very soon!

Food was excellent, but acoustics are not good making the restaurant seem louder than it is.

Excellent viewing for water sports and beautiful food. Friendly service and staff were very attentive to allergies from my party. Will 100% be back

Loved it. Very peaceful by the water.

Regular here. Always great service.

Really enjoyed my first visit. Lovely surroundings with big picture windows looking over the water sports lake. My river trout was delicious. Finished with a good coffee. The staff were very nice especially as we all wanted to pay separately. I'll be back.

It's a nice place to go and have a beer overlooking the lake and watching people wake boarding. Very good bar staff and atmosphere.

A quieter evening but I’m sure it gets much busier in the warmer months. Great location.

Had a wonderful day with excellent food and service at Corner 5. All the staff especially Michelle were brilliant. Compliments to the chef. Would return

Amazing location on the shores of a lake. Fantastic food, full of flavours and textures and presented in a “fine dining” context. Good level of friendly service, perhaps one more server would not go amiss when the place is busy.

Very nice scenery, excellent views. Went there for a coffee, so I wouldn't comment on food, maybe in the future we will return for a meal.

Great food, nice place, good views, will go again.

Love this restaurant! Food was perfect and very good service. We have been a few times and the standard has always been brilliant. Very highly rated.

Fabulous. We visited for lunch with friends. Plenty of parking, although the ground is very uneven. The staff were excellent. Very friendly and efficient. The food was wonderful. We eat out regularly and this was the best lunch I've had for some time. Smoked haddock shakshuka for starter. Very spicy but gorgeous. Venison chilli for main - wonderful. Rhubarb tart tatin for dessert was sublime. My husband said the Guinness braised beef brisket croquettes were a lovely starter and the caramelised apple and rosemary upside-down cake was light and gorgeous. He also enjoyed the venison chilli. All the food was beautifully presented and hot and the bill was very reasonable. We'll be back!

A very nice restaurant with very good views. All very nice.

Lovely restaurant in a lovely setting, food excellent, beautifully presented, service excellent, lovely friendly staff. The last two visits were for my Birthday, one with family and one with friends. Lovely desert with Happy Birthday beautifully written. Exceptional dining experience.

The best roast dinner in the area by a mile!! Great service by really friendly staff with nothing too much trouble. Great atmosphere too!

Sunday lunch was lovely. Roast chicken with yummy cauliflower cheese and snappy green veg. Very nice atmosphere with lots of families. Will def go again

Fabulous Sunday lunch at Corner 5, lovely food, great service, everyone was very welcoming, thoroughly recommend. Is a regular favorite place of ours

I went yesterday to San Valentine. I enjoyed the food and the service

Lovely location and excellent food. Staff went out of their way to be extra helpful. Must recommend the shakshuka as a starter.

Had a very enjoyable meal as a group of eight with friends we hadn't seen for quite a while. We had a good large table with plenty of room (especially elbows) and were served at the same time. My Pork Belly was especially good and all of the guests commented on how good their meals were. Highly recommended.

I were for the fist time unlucky I did make a booking so we just had our brunch on the bar area, we had pizzas, they were fine, lovely place for summer

A relaxed birthday lunch with a friend. Good food, service was prompt and food arrived within a comfortable time frame. Definitely recommend.

Excellent, wonderful meal all three courses were really good , service and personality of the staff made our day, as it was out 51st wedding anniversary we wanted something special. Well done .

Lovely spot for lunch with my parents. Food consistently good, especially the pizza. But mainly leaving this review because of the attentive service from all the lovely waiting staff. Thank you

Great venue with lots of parking. Menu worked for us with small plates on offer for lunch time. Service was professional, friendly and timely . Food was tasty. We will return, it's a good location halfway between our homes. Thank you

An exceptional Sunday roast dinner with plenty of tender meat. The staff are always smiling, friendly and efficient and you don't even have to ask for water, water is brought to your table immediately. Very pleasant surroundings in a very open airy place. Highly recommend, although a little more than you would perhaps pay for food, it is worth every penny to get the service, quality and friendliness they offer.

A lovely meal with family to celebrate my 60th birthday. Very tasty Sunday lunch, and delicious desserts. The service was excellent, would definitely visit again.

This is our go to restaurant whenever we want to celebrate. Food is always good and the staff extremely attentive and friendly

Lovely setting, staff very helpful most of the food was good but the portions of fried fish had far too much thick batter and it would have been nice if the fish pie had more fish in it. Desserts were very much enjoyed.

Again as to our previous visit Sunday lunch, there is no better in the area, staff very helpful and friendly and the food well excellent. Looking forward to visit again soon.

Very good Sunday lunch. Lovely views and very attentive staff. I would definitely recommend a visit.

We visit regularly for Sunday lunch and last Sunday was again absolutely superb. It’s the best Sunday roast in the area. The setting, food and service is second to none.

Visited with a couple of friends for a lunch catch-up . Service was excellent, very friendly and everything we ordered arrived quickly. The food was delicious. Venue is lovely overlooking the water. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again

13 of us went for my mums 75th birthday, the food was great and we all got served very quickly with no issues at all. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The venue is lovely with big windows looking out over both lakes. We...

Corner 5 never lets you down. Food was amazing and the service was excellent although we did pre-order as we were a larger party.

We visited corner5 for a pre-Christmas family meal and were absolutely blown away with how delicious the food was and how reasonably priced the venue offers a great range food for all ages along with really friendly staff, making the visit all the more pleasurable

Wow. 10/10. Food. Staff. Service. Ambiance. Everything was perfect. I think it was some of the best food I have eaten. Staff are wonderful, very attentive. What a wonderful start to the Christmas weekend.

A wonderful Sunday roast. Plenty of vegetables, crunchy roasties with fluffy centres. The best Sunday roast dinner I have had! The service was excellent too as was the ambience. 10 out of 10 from us!

Nice choice of good food on the menu, very friendly staff providing excellent service in a pleasant environment.

This was our annual Christmas lunch and AGM for our car club. W take over the restaurant with 50 plus covers, use the conference facilities upstairs for our AGM. The facilities are great as is the location overlooking the lake. The food is excellent and...

Waiting staff very friendly and polite. Food was delicious and well presented. Overall a lovely dining experience. Well Done Corner 5.

Attended for the Christmas meal which was three courses and very tasty. The food was hot and served professionally to the table of nine people.

The food was really lovely, the service was great, but they didn’t leave much time between each course being served.

My turkey roast dinner was beautifully presented and was probably one of the best I have ever had. My friends enjoyed their food also. We had a table by the window with an amazing view which was much appreciated. The service was good - can’t...

Aide and the team , never fail, the highest standards for everything the bar ,,the food ,,the service . I will keep recommending corner 5 to everyone. JOSS

Great night at Corner 5 for our work Christmas party. The food was really good and the staff were exceptional, particularly the bar staff. The only thing that was lacking was a bit more atmosphere and in previous years we enjoyed having a dance after...

We usually use the bar facilities only, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Good choice of wines and beers. We did have a meal once and that was good. Positioned on a lake where outdoor activities can be taken up.

Enjoyable night celebrating our anniversary, service was wonderful and really enjoyed our meals. There are a few options on the menu for vegetarians and the sweet potato casserole was delicious.

First time here. Very positive - food and service very good. Tables are well spaced, but quite loud.
