Corner 5 in Bedford

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

As always the staff were delightful, attentive, welcoming. The food was excellent - the three of us had different options and chef allowed one of us to mix up one dish with vegetable side dish from another option on the menu (great disservice to that...

Would be nice if restaurant advertising as open, actually served food. Waste of time driving there :/

We visited Corner 5 to celebrate our wedding anniversary with Sunday Lunch. As on all our previous visits, the service and food was beyond reproach. This is an excellent venue , with courteous and attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and look forward to finding...

Again another great meal friendly staff and great place to visit, looking forward to our next time there.

Having visited previously just for refreshments after a walk, we liked the setting so much we decided it would be good for my birthday lunch. Having only recently come out of hospital the fact that their menu had ‘small plates’ appealed to us. We chose...

Fabulous Sunday lunch, very delicious and wonderful staff, a credit to the establishment. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic food wide menu to choose from , very friendly atmosphere with a lovely view. Throughly recommend.

This is one of my favourite places to go to celebrate. It was my birthday and I wanted to say thank you to a group of special people who had looked after me so well after a very big operation. Food was fantastic and staff were brilliant as always. Would highly recommend this venue.

The staff were fantastic, the food was delicious and we had a great evening with a table of 20 for my retirement do. We all pre ordered and got served quickly. I was told in advance that there would be a 10% service charge added as it was a larger table of diners - that was fine. However, I bought everyone a drink in the bar as they arrived and noticed today that a 10% charge was also added to my bill for the drinks, even though we sat in the bar and collected our own drinks, a bit of a cheek in my opinion. That gratuity should have been my choice, that was no different to every other person in the bar.

We book a family 90th & 50th birthday meal. Yesterday 7th October, It was a lovely friendly atmosphere inside the restaurant. Our meals came with a friendly smile and politeness. And when we had our desserts, they sent out 2 birthday puddings for our 90th birthday mother, and 50th birthday son in law F.O.C. We would highly recommend a visit to corner 5 .

We were a table of 9, but as we had pre-ordered our food we were served quickly. The food as always was excellent and the staff polite, friendly and made our lunch special.

Well presented and deliscious food, great service and hospitality. The only issue I had with the place was that it lacks ambiance and caracter which is important when people chose where to spend their money and time.

Right from entering the restaurant to leaving all the staff were so friendly and helpful. The meal , we all had Sunday roast was delicious, the portions were very good and everything was tasty from the meats to the vegetables and exceeding roasties. I thoroughly...

Came with friends for catch up and celebrate my 60th. Excellent service. The most delicious Sunday roast ever !! Large portion. The vegetables tasted like proper veg!! Huge Yorkshire puddings. Only down side is rather warm in there and must be unbearable when the sun...
