Great Place to stay the night. Room was tidy and comfortable. Great location with the train and bus station near by. Friendly staff. Nothing better than having a couple of pints then falling into bed.

Absolutely poor. Our cutlery was dirty and returned for clean and the staff member put the dirty cutlery back in with the clean pieces. Food arrived and was warm at best. The pepsi max drinks we ordered were flat. Staff were not interested one bit. I wouldn't advise spending your money here.

I was impressed with the two tier inside and outside layout of this Spoons. I enjoyed a simple steak and jacket potato with a lefffe for around a tenner. The presentation of the meal wasn't the best, but the steak was excellent. Best of all was the room. Generous biscuits and water, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate sachets, but the real treat was that I could use the mug for hot drinks in the restaurant. Very good location in the town centre close to parking, shops and other bars.

The pub itself has nothing wrong with it. Unfortunately some of the staff are extremely rude and homophobic. I was asked for ID and refused service though I am pushing 30 years old. While simultaneously I watched 2 girls who couldn't be older than 15 get served and not asked for ID I'm assuming this is because of my sexuality. Rest assured I will not be back and would urge members of the LGBTQ to stay away!

Staff (including management) are working with the regulars to steal customers (who are new or not frequent to this particular spoons) bags and belongings. An absolute disgrace. Especially when I’ve never had to deal with people even trying to steal my belongings when in high pick-pocketing areas of London.

In the armpit of Bedford town centre this is your typical Wetherspoons, filled with typical Wetherspoons customers, Best thing is that most of these regulars cannot make it up the stairs to the little mezz floor leaving this free for regular folk to come and enjoy the wonders of Spoons in relative normality.

Very bad service. Staff messed up our order, which would have been fine except that they made us wait an hour and didn’t apologise once after charging us for what we didn’t buy - making it seem like it was our fault when we clearly asked for something different. We were very polite about it but the staff was being very rude in return. And very overpriced for 2 stingy pancakes.

Very busy. Staff were very polite. We had ordered lamb kofta flatbreads, about 1/2 later apologies,but they had run out, again not an issue, we ordered something else, little bit later, waitress came to say, it was ok flatbread dish was still available, just made her look bad... Again not an issue. Unfortunately, when dish arrived in stead of flatbreads, there were two small circles of wrap with delishous lamb kofta and fillings...this was very tasty, but if I'd known they were replacing the flatbreads, I would have changed my order. Didn't say anything at time as food was still very tasty and the staff were very busy. Would visit again.

Called at 11am the date of our Stay to say we have no room. Booked 6 months in advance only to end up in this situation. Due to the festival in Bedford there was no other hotel with availability. Was sent to wetherspoons in the next town. Was promised to have our taxis paid for only to have to fork out the additional £120 ourselves. Staff then said oh well the Huntington hotel is £30 cheaper...... Also promised 20% off drinks in the pub. Again did not happen. Shocking management of a bad situation. Wrote to wetherspoons complaints multiple times with no response so have been left with no option but to express my review online. Wouldn't recommend at all.

A pub we've visited many times over 30 years and will again. To watch sports eat and drink. And this time we stayed as well. It was during British Grandpris weekend. Still very good. Setup to cater for for many, which it did well. A room format many could learn from, only criticisms why only two teabags. Fellow guests do you seriously nick the toilet brush??

Was super pleased about the cask ale choices, especially Mad Squirrel’s London Porter. Glad that I’m a CAMRA member so used one of my 50p vouchers making the price of a wonderful pint to a ridiculously low price of £2.13. Had to have another two, didn’t I? Fish and chips never disappoints at whatever JDW.

Fabulous stay at this hotel. Room was immaculate, large, walk in shower, comfy bed, hairdryer and iron in the room as well which was unexpected. Also two bottles of water plus tea, coffee and biscuits. Room was a tad small but fine for just one night. Very convenient not only for the pub downstairs (room was surprisingly quiet considering the hotel is above a pub) but close to all amenities in Bedford centre, including lots of pubs. Overall, a really positive experience and a much better room than the large chain we went on to stay in for the second night, who wanted £50 + for the extra night.

Didn't see the rooms but read other reviews and I'm glad I'm in the premier inn. I will not be back. The Flower Pot is a much nicer, traditional pub which should be supported over this brexit loving home of neo fascits.

On many an occasion too many to mention,hopeless service ,will never have enough people serving at the bar,last night said to 1 of the shift managers where's anyone to serve, "oh they're doing things",same person who said previously where is everyone, too many so called shift managers period,he or she spend half the time as waiter/waitresses on way more money ,half the time on their phones,particularly one female,couldn't organise a pxss up in a brewery . Tables and floor a mess most of the time. Customers continually queing up like sheep and around where your sitting. Attracts a different class of idiot to anywhere else. And the racket of people virtually shouting at each other to be heard above all the others doing the same and that given I play and listen to loud music.

SADLY CLOSED PERMANENTLY. SUCH A LOSS TO US ALL. 😭 A wonderfully warm and friendly welcome here.. the food is gorgeous and you can even watch the skittles on a screen, if you can't get close enough to see! Hubby tells me the range of beers is great.. I'm just happy to see plenty of fruit ciders in the cold cabinet 😉 Good car park on pub land.. a garden too, though not yet visited due to it being a very cold March!
