Working nearby so called in for a drink and some food. I had the Chicken, leek and Cheddar pie with mash and tender stem broccoli, which was wonderful and a couple of pints of Madri. Staff were very efficient, and helpful. I ate in the bar area but the restaurant looked very nice and was quite busy, always a good sign. There's a large outdoor seating area, great for summer evenings. My only issue is that the lighting in the bar area I feel could be a little brighter, I did wonder if I'd actually see what I was eating. I'd definitely recommend The Kings Arms. 👍🏻

I wish there were a way to leave a million stars for this place, for so many reasons. I was traveling through town with a group on the way to London, flying out early the next morning. Already worn out from the day, we found this on the map hoping for some good food and a cold beer or two. What we got was so much more. The food was incredible. To quote one of the people in my group, “the best meal of the entire trip”. The atmosphere was perfection - the lighting was perfect, the energy was great, every single person we spoke to on staff was friendly, prompt, and wonderful. Here’s where I have to leave a shout-out for one person specifically. Nicole. We left the restaurant and made our way to the airport when I realized I had forgotten my wallet back at the restaurant. I panicked. I couldn’t fly without it, and wouldn’t make it back in time before the restaurant closed. I called and asked if someone could please leave it somewhere for me to find, and instead of that, Nicole gave me her personal number and stayed behind for nearly an hour after closing to make sure that I had my wallet and could fly home. That type of humanity is rare nowadays, and I can’t thank her and her team enough for the kindness, hospitality, and WONDERFUL food and vibes. 1000000/10 recommend. And try the diablo pizza with a fresh Guinness - you won’t regret it.

Don't go as a large group to celebrate they can't cater! Especially it anyone has allergies! 2 hours to wait for food! Food came out cold, with the gluten free bread still frozen and instructions on other meals not followed! The meat was tough and fatty not good quality meat you would expect for the prices you pay and the steaks so small they couldn't feed a child! So over priced, had the food come out in time and warm it would have still been a disappointment Booked a table early so wasn't in rush time, pre warned about allergies reassured would only add 20 minutes on! Spoilt a very special occasion, will never go back

Our table was booked for 12.30, there was no one to meet us when we arrived, so we was kept waiting then. We was shown to our table and our drinks were ordered, 10 minutes passed before our order was taken. Our food still didnt arrive after 45 mins. I asked the waitress where our food was and she went and checked on the kitchen. She came back and advised us that our order didn’t get processed and when it did she also advised that one of our mains was no longer available .We reordered and our food eventually came 1hr and 20 mins later. To be fair the manager did give our meals free of charge as a good will gesture Overall not impressed.

Lovely pub, staff great but wasn’t impressed with the food, had the trio and the pork was tiny and more like a lump of fat, beef chewy, chicken was fine, my partner had the duo and never ate the meat as it was too tough. Shame really as the place looks great, charges London prices and I thought Toby was just as good with the food, you expect rubbish at Toby so not so bad .

I visited this place recently, and while the atmosphere was lovely, the food was disappointing. I had the chicken roast, and I can’t say I enjoyed it. The portion of cauliflower cheese was tiny, and there was hardly any gravy, leaving the meal dry and unappetizing. It felt very stingy overall. The venue itself is great for drinks and has a nice vibe, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend coming here for the food.

Having eaten here a couple of times before, came for their NYE dinner. Overall experience was ok but they'd clearly either over booked or were understaffed. Waited 15 mins after seating before anyone spoke to us to take an order, and similar for the tables around us. Same story at the end of the meal when it took half an hour to get the bill. Quality of the food was pretty good when it came, particularly the starters, but did expect a bit more wow factor given the price. And more than a little surprised to be charged extra for a sauce to go with the steak when paying £80 per head.. yes that did include half a bottle of wine but still.. I'd definitely eat here again, but would think twice before going back on a special menu night.

With 18 of us in the group, the service was seamless—attentive, friendly, and full of energy. The food was simply delicious; every dish was spot on and served piping hot, which can be tricky with such a large party.

Returned after being away for a couple of years. Nikos was very attentive and could only apologise for a poorly cooked main course that was returned a second time due to then being a very poor quality cut. Read the menu description carefully as food is dressed up. Shame as we used regularly previously but having to sacrifice quality to try and compete with others. Would rather pay a bit more to go back to how food was presented previously.

We arrived late morning, planning to have a drink while we decided whether to stay for lunch. The place has great views of the river and seemed well run, but when we noticed that the service seemed rather slow we decided to order food as soon as our drinks arrived, and were given menus. I asked a passing waiter for the wifi password, and he mumbled something about going to get the details for me. I saw him then go to the kitchen and start tending to food orders, and he never came back. The waiter who had given us the menus also never came back to take our order, but was taking orders from people who had come in after us - so once we had finished our drinks, we left.

I moved from Bedfordshire to Norfolk 18 months ago but return periodically to Bedford. This was my third stay at the D’Parys. I find the staff unfailingly polite and helpful. The rooms are quirky, but in a good way. The showers/bathrooms have always been really clean. The beds are comfortable and the bedding lovely. I enjoy the food, particularly breakfast, but I really enjoyed last night’s dinner. Parking is easy, either in the hotel’s carpark behind the hotel or for a small charge in the road in front. Importantly, though, as a female travelling alone, I feel really safe here. I enjoy a drink in the lovely bar after dinner. No problem whatsoever. I can throughly recommend the D’ Parys.
