The cheese and tuna panini was good but the chicken tikka masala one was awful, more like a ketchup sauce, very sharpe, not nice atall.

Shame because I used to come here years ago and loved it. Came back recently and it has gotten so much worse. The place look nice and service was good but the food was poor quality and not really worth the money.

I like to support local business so I visited today and gave Weatherspoons a miss...what a mistake! £9 for a baked potato with cheese ( which really was poor quality ) and an 'orange ' juice which tasted very watery...to be avoided !

Terrible service! Decided to try this cafe out for a change, we won't be returning! Waited 15 minutes to be served. When we were finally greeted myself and my mother in law felt awkward, the lady was rude, grumpy and snappy. I asked for a panini and chips! To which I was told the mexican chicken panini, press wasn't on so I would have to wait! This was at 1pm lunchtime ! I then asked could I have the mexican chicken in the baguette instead. To which I was told no unfortunately as its not on the menu. Very dissatisfied visit and won't be visiting again!

Super friendly staff, but the food was a nightmare. Steak and Ale pie was a greasy mess that tasted as if it had been re-heated. Omelette was oily and flavourless, and came with a mountain of chips.

I had the Double Sausage, bacon and chips meal with a Cappuccino and it was great quality with great taste. My partner went for a omelette which she said was nice with a tea. Staff very polite and service is quick. Highly recommended and will be visiting when I am next in the area.

First time in Bedford and we came across this lovely cafe. Excellent service, the gentleman was so friendly and polite. I have never been served so quickly in my life. The food was perfect, I cannot fault this place at all. If you haven't tried this place, then it's a must. 10/10

I have visited this restaurant for a while now. I do have to say, there is a good choice and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I had a bake potato and cheesy chips, potato was nice, I think they really need to sort their portion size out, as with the chips only a portion for one and the plate size is enough for two people, I had to move it onto the potato plate. I will continue visiting in the future

Really filling food! Me and my Mum popped in the Howard Restaraunt for a good meal, and we got one! Overall good meal, and the staff is very understanding and likeable. Recommened this place for Brunch.

Yeah not too bad! Huge and looks like a catering place more than a restaurant, inside . Tables aren't bad, but still split in rows and look all the same . The omelette is ok, not that golden color u would like and a bit burned. Chips taste a bit undercooked unless they're homemade, coleslaw is lovely ! They also do healthy smoothies. Staff barely speak English and talk in their own language. Wasn't busy but still service is good. Would come here if shopping at harpur as is the only eating place. Not sure if the lunch is any good ! Have a try, is good value.

We both ordered a fried breakfast but unfortunately the sausages we received tasted like the cheapest possible freezer sausages you could find (very unpleasant). Other than that, it was pleasant but average. The server was very friendly and the strawberry milkshake was lovely.

I've never had a dull meal here. It's great value for money! The customer service is usually excellent although this time we got a "slap on the wrist" for taking a menu from another table. The waitor actually leaned across our table and took the menu back whilst we were having our coffees. We were in a good mood so we just laughed it off! I came with my mum and we had 2 big main meals, 2 cold drinks, 2 coffees and 2 puds all for under £20. Very tasty too! I will be going back, I've been going years, it's cheap and cheerful food!

We had walked from the cinema car park via the river and wanted breakfast. I had remembered the over 20 years I had been to the cafe in the was then Howard centre so I suggested if it was still there we would go and see if they did breakfast which they did. There was a good selection of breakfast choices with the best fried eggs I have tasted. So we had two cooked breakfasts a tea a coffee and to as twice came to under £15. What value for money as all the ffod was cooked purfectly and really hot. The only complaint was the are plates were never taken away but a small gripe. I will be returning.

Great place eat. Great service and friendly helpful staff. Good choice of meals. Never have to wait long to get our meal. They will cook food according to your liking. Child friendly and very considerate of people with disabilities. A lady who was suffering came into the café and they were more than happy to let her sit until she had regained her breath.

It was very romantic to come here again because it was our ( my husband and me) first coffee place 3,5 years ago. We had a seat at same table. We had lovely coffee with milk and pancakes with cream and cherry. It was very tasty. Good food, great service. Thank you!

Not very often that you ask Chef for well done bacon and you get it done perfectly. The food is excellent and the milk shakes are brilliant. Decor is nice and the staff are friendly. Worth a visit.

Was recommended this pub by a friend. Really looking forward to a pub lunch on a Sunday afternoon.. Completely disgraced and disappointed on arriving. Utterly disgraced by the TLC on the sofa chairs by the window ( where we sat).. sofa covers ripped seeing yellow polyestiring in seats fraying.. 😕 Friend was told pub was not doing food?? Any reason for a Sunday afternoon, could chefs be having a day off.. Very very disappointed we both were, summing up a few gents in the restaurant area having beers. Bar lady serving drinks watched me and my friend exit the pub seemingly un-concerned… Glad I’m not a local definitely will not be returning.

Had dinner in the restaurant on a busy Saturday night. We were served by a lovely waitress called Emily. She was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Despite the restaurant being rather full, Emily went round with a smile on her face and a spring in her step! We will definitely visit again!

Last two times I’ve been in it’s taken 2/3 members of staff to serve just one customer. I’ve walked out twice after staff have just walked out from the counter with seemingly no reason other than to just wander around and both times they’ve only offered to serve me as I’ve been already turned to walk out which is after 5 to 10 minutes of waiting. One member of staff was more interested in eating her breakfast than doing her job this morning.
