The Kingfisher Bedford in Bedford

I took my wife and son, for a meal there to celebrate my 70th birthday. We were received by 2 very polite receptionist, and was shown to a very nice table near the bar. The meal was of high quality with first class table service. The whole experience was very good and one that we will repeat again.

Everything about the Kingfisher was perfect. My husband and I came here for our wedding anniversary. The customer service was excellent, there wasn’t anything that couldn’t be done. The restaurant was warm, quiet and inviting and our food and drinks were delicious! Will definitely be back. Thank you to the incredible team.

Cosy hotel just outside Bedford. Rooms are big, beds comfortable. Very good a la carte breakfast.

Incompetent staff, booking tables are hassle for the staff. Drove in to find out they didn't book in for the right day. No apology and wouldn't be dropping by. I was considering this place for the wedding venue, but I would be avoiding this.

Great place to meet with friends and family. Very welcoming

Great place with very pleasant staff. Totally enjoyed the evening.

I attended a workshop in the Northill Suite on a day of heavy rains and I was blown over by the staff’s professionalism and overall sense of calm while they dealt with the flooding all around the hotel and car parks. Our event went ahead without a hitch and not a single cutback in service levels. I felt safe and kept informed throughout the day.

Superb meal with fantastically cooked steaks and wine served by Ben who knows what he's doing and has a passion that is rarely seen. Thanks

I took a friend for afternoon tea, we were looked after by a very pleasant young man. He listened to what was needed & my friend who's birthday it was throughly enjoyed it. It's a very nice classy place to be.

Came here for my brother’s wedding. The staff were incredibly hospitable. Breakfast was lovely every morning with options to have freshly cooked and then a buffet style option too. Rooms were comfortable but a little on the colder side.

Friendly service and tasty food with a lovely view.

Visited first time following recommendations of friends. The area is fantastic, the venue after renovations can cater for functions. I was curious about the dining - restaurant really looks nice. We chose seating outside by the river. I ordered by the bar- the tapas option- order was mixed up- not received one item despite promises it was coming- in the end apologies from the staff that it was not put on the order. Me and my partner had to chase up cutlery, and drink ordering by the bar was hectic- drink brought twice, but forgot to take payment. I will give it another chance despite my disappointment with the service.

Brilliant food and brilliant service. Thanks to Jemima for excellent service.

Beautiful old pub, large and on a very nice location on the Bedford river running besides it. Food nice, good size car park, staff nice

Stopped for some lunch, lovely food, service and outdoor seating area next to the river.

Such a lovely restored building, service and food excellent

We were staying here for our daughter's wedding in the Tithe barn. Lovely hotel, great room and a fantastic experience.

Terrible experience here. Incompetent staff, arrogant management. I hope you enjoyed the many £100s we spent in your establishment, because we won't visit again.

Fabulous food and venue. Highly recommend it.

Had a lunch time mid week meal with friends. We were served promptly and the food was delicious

Went there sat to celebrate our dear friends wedding what a beautiful hotel and location. From the welcoming reception to our barman BEN top bloke who held the fort all evening when we attempted to dance and had to hear us sing . We'll done to all will definitely be coming back to stay or just have a wonderful meal .

Really really lovely meal by the river. Beautiful location and excellent staff.

Restaurant serves a good quality Sunday roast

Lovely meal and wonderful kind staff

Came here for a meal and it has been decorated beautifully. Staff very attentive maybe a little bit too much of whipping away of glasses the minute they are empty but very polite and helpful. Unfortunately the food was a let down. My tatertots could have been bought in a supermarket with a bit of cheese on top. Pork burnt ends were ok but some a bit too burnt and hard. Not much flavour. My friends seafood pasta had a lovely amount of different shellfish but the sauce was far too rich and he left most of it. Realised when I got home that my decaf cappuccino was definitely not decaf as I was awake until 3am!. They need to up their game foodwise.

I stayed here for a night. It’s a cute hotel on the river. it’s clean and friendly. I had a pretty awful room facing the car park. Water pressure in the shower was non existent. I assume there are better rooms with nicer views. Breakfast was ok, but not going to win any awards.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Outstanding friendly prompt service

Very good, hope you like my photo of my burger

Beautiful place to enjoy some time together! I'm so happy to see a place that welcomes our dog . Thank you for having us!

Absolute great find as a wedding venue, very well catered and hosted. Lee and Mia were both fantastic and hosted us very professionally. Would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a wedding venue. Rooms are spacious with both shower and bath and the bed was very comfortable.

Roast beef Sunday lunch. The beef was very fatty with 20% left on side of plate. Vegetables were ok. The main was disappointing overall. The dessert, sticky toffee and ice cream was very nice but overpriced. Service was slow to table, ordering the main course was 45mins after we got seated.

Excellent on every level. Food was amazing and very reasonable prices. Service was great. Someone at our table spilt hot tea on my daughter by accident and they jumped straight into action with cold towels and burn gel. Very impressed with everything

Although it was just for lunch, the service was impeccable, the food was hot and the restaurant surroundings were in sight of the river.

Amazing place. Peaceful. Staff excellent and great food.

Attended a friend's 60th birthday party & stayed over so could have a drink or two. Breakfast was buffet style & sadly cold, it was mentioned to the staff
