Jax Restaurant And Bar in Bedford

We have been coming to Coffee at Star for a good number of years, for as long as we’ve been parents of a Junior rower! Firstly, it’s an incredibly welcoming and inclusive place to come. You don’t have to be a member of either Star Club or Falcon. Dogs are welcome and it’s so nice to see so many there on a weekend especially. The service has always been exceptional, it’s run by Ann and her team. They offer the best hospitality, which we’re not always known for in the UK! The location is very special, with immediate views of the Great River Ouse from the balcony. There is also a modern, cosy space inside with sofas, tables, chairs with plenty of blankets and cushions to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. The selection of food never disappoints. I can vouch for all of it that I’ve tried (and I’ve had a lot!). I am a regular consumer of their waffles with yoghurt and fruit, I enjoy the granola bowl too. My kids enjoy the waffles with bacon, the halloumi breakfast bap is a family favourite and of course they sell essential bacon/egg baps as well as just toast! Breakfast, brunch isn’t where is stops. There is always cake available, meaning it becomes an ideal place to drop in, have a bite to eat and drink and enjoy the views! Have I mentioned that the coffee is AMAZING, they have a wide selection available and I can vouch for their delicious skinny flat white and chai latte. The smoothies are a hit with parents, the kids and everyone else it seems. A must for your trip to the Riverside in Bedford!

Food is spot on and lovely staff, really a family feel with delicious food I will be back soon. Thank you

Due to nature of my job, I frequently travel to Bedford, and whenever I’m in the area, I never miss the chance to visit Hometown Kempston. Their food is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and truly mouthwatering! Whether it’s a quick bite or a proper meal, every dish is prepared with great care and quality. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly and polite. A special mention to brother Zubayed, who goes above and beyond to ensure excellent service. His hospitality makes every visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Hometown Kempston to anyone looking for a delicious meal with great service. If you're in Bedford, this place is a must-visit!

Lovely cute cafe. The food was amazing and the service we received was outstanding. Well done to Pete and Helen for looking after us. Definitely will be back.

What a hidden gem!! Came here for a girls night and it didn't disappoint. So many choices of cheese and meats its hard to pick, and the wine was just amazing. Very clean and very welcoming.
