Kings Arms in Bedford

Lovely pub and atmosphere, but the food has gone down hill. Very slow service. Food portions are tiny. Very expensive for what you get, over all very disappointing - will not be returning.

Great food, service with a smile - hope the refurb goes well

Food was amazing, had a lovely birthday meal with friends. Staff were really lovely, it wasn't over busy, so it was more attention on us 😀. Will definitely visit again.

A really lovely venue to come with the family for food and drink. The quality of the food was exceptional and I’d recommend it to anybody.

Food very bland needed to have more flavour, but on positive it was a reasonable position size. King prawn, crab & Ortiz chorizo linguine in White wine, tomato, garlic & chilli sauce. Tasted so watered down that none of any flavour came out a lot of nothingness. Very disappointing.

Lovely time and a lovely Easter treat with family. Cannot fault this place on food and drink and quality. Yet again amazing.

Molly was lovely and attentive, nice atmosphere and an enjoyable evening!

We were looked after by Molly - who was an excellent member of staff -upbeat and professional- outstanding member of staff - Thank you Molly for looking after us

Great services Molly this evening , lovely food , attentive service, friendly but professional. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ash was absolutely amazing and looked after us brilliantly! Fillet steak was unreal and the prawns delicious. Soon be back! Thanks ash…….

Ashlyn our waitress was very professional and efficient

Nice location, previously sat in the garden and had drinks. This occasion, we were a walk in couple, It’s a ‘gastropub’ so prices are steep. It’s decent food but not a ‘wow’ from me considering the prices. There are no other places really close so if you’re in the area, this is the only place to go.

Served by Molly, very good and friendly service! Thank you

The food and service is exceptional and represents excellent value for money.

Had a lovely evening fabulous and lovely meal. Molly was super attentive, thank you 😊

Great pub for a decent evening meal

Lovely pub and restaurant. Service always good; food a bit over priced. Was busy outside, quiet indoors but it was a sunny Monday afternoon, so not surprising that it was quite quiet.

Ashlyn was our server and she was welcoming, efficient and very helpful. Top marks for Ashlyn.

Needs a duster putting around the place Food portions not always that much but very tasty. Service is professional, but can be a little slow at times.

Molly was friendly and very attentive to our needs. Service was quick and food good. Parents enjoyed their meals too. Would come again!

food and place lovely. service so slow. 3 hours for meal , excuse we have a large party in , so no one else matters.

Lovely country pub - good food and reasonably priced

A lovely social evening meal with some of Hospital Radio Bedford’s presenters and wives/husbands/partners As you can imagine with radio presenters acoustics of the venue were important and in spite of the place being very busy we could all hear each other. Food and service excellent and helpings very generous. Just what you need to round off the weekend!! And some good radio of course!!

Great place, perfect atmosphere but personally I felt the food was a little overpriced for what we got.

Great customer service and easy to contact following a failed booking by myself. Nicola arranged to accommodate a table of 10 at very short notice. The food was first rate and staff were very helpful and friendly. A great night was had by the Bedfordshire Health Radio team.

We dine at The Kings Arms regularly but today we needed to be at home so the roast came to us! Delicious as always - the same quality and quantity as if we were there.

Nice pub in a nice village green location with plenty of parking. Had the half chicken with chips. Chicken itself was solid, but the gravy and garlic aioli was the star of the show. The Pepsi Max from the tap was very nice and crispy – good water to syrup ratio maybe? Service was great all around.

amazing - great food and service . shout out to Molly and Ash x

Molly and Ash were excellent! Thank you so much for a fabulous evening.

Molly and ash were amazing highly recommend

Lovely meal, great service especially from Molly! Very professional and knowledgeable. We’ll be back!

Great service, Molly was brilliant! Service with a smile. 5 star!

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. 👍🏻

Molly was informative and an excellent waitress

Food was good and there was plenty of it. Our server was not very friendly at all, they were very busy, but no real atmosphere.

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.

Molly is an excellent waitress. She has served us a few times before. She is always smiling, friendly and helpful.

First time visit to The Kings Arms. Molly was exceptional, very attentive and friendly would highly recommend this lovely place!

Excellent food and service! The Duo of Pork was spot on and their icecream and cookie deserts are delicious! Super kid friendly too, with a great kids menu, and all for a very reasonable price!

Good food,good service,lights above tables full of dust,condiments not readily available had to wait.

Lovely atmosphere. Great service from Ashlyn. Lovely food.

Amazing meal for my husbands 40th, service by Ben was exceptional, would highly recommend and we will be back again.

Faith was a great host and gave great menu recommendations. The food was delicious!

Lovely busy atmosphere, staff friendly and helpful. Food excellent. Our waitress Georgia was delightful

Very helpful and pleasant young girl served us

Lovely atmosphere, with open fire! Gorgeous roast dinner, with plenty of gravey! Staff good too...really enjoyed

Excellent food in this delightful pub off the beaten track. Ashlyn was exceptional.

Great meal and awesome service. Ashland was a star. Thank you so much

An incredible setting for a very good meal. The church next door is stunning.

Our waiter Ben was great! He made us feel welcome and was friendly taking our order in a timely manner and completing check backs without causing inconvenience. Would definitely recommend anyone to be served by Ben!

Fantastic food and staff are so friendly. Our favourite restaurant for a Sunday roast

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

Very nice place, lovely food and good vibe

Love this place! Always so welcoming and all the team are super friendly. Ben always takes the time to say hello and welcome us with a friendly smile . Any problems and he is always happy to help. I highly recommend a visit . Sunday lunch is particularly good 😋

Great portions, tasty food, extremely friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Great atmosphere. Staff are amazing. Food was outstanding. Will definitely be back

Lovely lunch, quick service and staff friendly and welcoming.

Your staff were really friendly and helpful, the food and drinks were very good quality.

Loved it here. A comfortable inviting place. Great ambience. Our waitress Molly was professional, kind and helpful. Food excellent. Couldn’t fault it. Will be recommending to friends and family and will definitely be coming back

Fantastic service tonight from Leonie.

We had an excellent lunch at The King's Arms. The service was fairly quick and efficient. When the food arrived, it was well presented and very tasty. We'll definitely visit again.

What a fabulous Sunday Roast, we are always looking for a home cooked roast and that’s exactly what we got. Molly our waitress was attentive and the meals were served promptly and piping hot. We will certainly be back.

A lovely Sunday roast and desserts. All 4 main meals were delicious and the service is very friendly and efficient. Great food, staff and atmosphere.

Sunday roast was absolutely amazing followed by great desserts. Extremely reasonable price for the quality of the food and Molly our waitress was brilliant. We'll definitely be returning

Good food, efficient service and a pleasant atmosphere.

Fantastic lunch with brilliant service by Molly We will definitely be returning

We had a fabulous evening - steak was cooked to perfection & the wine was absolutely fabulous. Georgia was so helpful and friendly, highly recommend

Big group of us on Tuesday evening. Service was beyond excellent from Nic, Rihanna and Ashlyn. Couldn’t fault the place, food or staff. Will definitely return with other friends!!

Lovely Sunday lunch good service...will visit again.

Great meal and great service from Ben. Well reccomended

Fantastic experience!!!! The food was all fresh, served quickly and the staff were so attentive. This is now our "go to" for lunch or evening meals. We WILL be coming back soon.

Our favourite place to eat. Great food and a great service.

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.

Ashlyn was our server was excellent. The food was amazing, the mushroom risotto was amazing, definitely try it.

Nikos was an absolute credit to the company. His service was prompt and efficient, he was helpful and charming. The quality of the food was very good and well presented.

Fantastic Sunday roast with all the trimmings and with spot on service. Looking forward to going back soon, thank you to the manager simon who’s was brilliant with my family

The menu was varied and catered well for vegans of which there were two in our party. The service was excellent. Our daughter had just got married and everyone was super complimentary. We really appreciated the special touches (prosecco and chocolate message). Thank you

Great service and fantastic food!

great sunday lunch with friends

The decor/room layout was great, tables not on top of each other. Nice waitress 3 of us celebrating our birthday were given complimentary dessert and servicing dish decorated with ‘Happy Birthday’ which was a nice touch

Lovely pub in a beautiful setting. Fabulous food and environment.

Our second visit to The Kings Arms. The food and atmosphere is lovely. Thanks for the great service Molly

Thanks to Molly for looking after us!

Excellent meal, very nice surroundings and great service, thank you Ashlyn

Great food & super service. Thanks Molly

Have found the food and the serving staff excellent the past two visits at The Kings Arms. Molly is always friendly, professional and efficient- thank you!

Excellent service and great meal

Had a great evening with the family. Top food , service and atmosphere.

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 .

Lovely evening made even better by our charming server Ashlyn. Such a courteous, funny & professional young lady.

Molly was our server and very professional and polite I would say she was the best staff member working tonight. You need to clone her

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.

Very good selected menu for Christmas day, thanking you

Charlotte was extremely welcoming and accommodating. The food was incredible as always! The room was quite warm and so the atmosphere felt a little stuffy but didn’t ruin our experience

Fantastic service despite the staff being rushed off their feet. Our server, Ashlyn, made sure all of us were well looked after.

The Sunday roast was excellent our server Ashlyn was amazing thank you for a great day

Excellent. Well done Ashlyn. Will definitely come again.

Fabulous meal and surroundings and served by Molly who was exceptional!

Nothing was too much trouble for Molly - we asked to move tables and had a question regarding the menu and she helped without hesitation and was attentive - we’ve been coming here for years and the service is always outstanding. Thank you Molly! Aimee
