The Three Compasses in Bedford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A lovely old-fashioned pub but well up to speed with coeliac needs. The Sunday lunch was delicious and I enjoyed gluten free Yorkshire Puds! What a treat! They even did separate gluten free gravy. Generous portions and good service. This was our second visit and we will definitely be back.

We are a group of people who are taken from home to various pubs and other venues and the place today was the Three Compasses. The pub does not normally open on a weekday lunchtime, so was opened for this group and was offering a restricted menu. The choice of four starters, mains and desserts were on offer. All the food was good and we had some excellent beer on tap. I had a pint of Tribute and a couple of glasses of wine.all members of the group commented on how well we were treated . Thanks Adam,I am sure we will return.

Came to The Three Compasses on a Saturday for a family lunch. Greeted by a very friendly owner who remembered when I booked 2 weeks prior, I had enquired about gluten free options. Was given the choice of where to sit in the pub - pub itself is quaint and has a lovely feel to it. My husband was very impressed with the good selection of ales namely Tim Taylors Landlord & Tribute. They had a separate gluten free menu and were very accommodating letting me know that the gluten free food is done in a separate fryer. Gluten free fish and chips were made to order and my family enjoyed the rest of the “gluten” menu. The GF fish and chips were delicious. I had the GF Chocolate Brownie to finish which again was excellent. We will 100% be returning here.

Lovely traditional pub with plenty of parking, good beers and great food. Staff were polite, friendly and accommodating.

This is a gem of a country pub. Friendly landlord who served both drinks and food. The atmosphere is cosy and relaxing. The food was excellent as was the service. Well worth a trip out there.

The staff were really friendly, the food was good quality. We had starters, mains and desserts and couldn’t fault any of it :)

My family and I visited this pub at the weekend for a drink and some lunch. The beer was exceptional and very reasonably priced. Lunch was a variety of pub classics - all of which were well presented, good portion sizes and again excellent value. The bar staff were helpful, hospitable and chatty. I would certainly recommend to all families looking for a country pub to visit for a drink and something to eat.

This pub is on one of my cycling routes and I always get a friendly welcome. Food is simple and tasty. Real ale was awesome. Beer garden out the back. If you’re a ‘fancy foodie’ it’s probably not for you but if you’re looking for a country setting, warm welcome, pub food and a great pint then it’s spot on.

Awful experience for a Sunday lunch!!!Waited over an hour for food.No home cooked food all frozen fish &pies.Although other reviews say different.Worse meal we have ever had &wont ever be going back!!!Came away feeling very dissapointed after travelling a distance to get there..

Been to the Three Compasses twice during the last month and can not fault it. We are fairly local being only seven miles away and will try to be more regular visitors. The staff are very welcoming and both helpful and polite. There’s a wide selection of drinks and pleasantly not overpriced. The menu is acceptable and there is also a limited “ Specials “ board. Our chosen meals have been excellent, both in presentation and value for money. The portions are generous and, although it is “ pub grub” it is of good quality. Their organisation is excellent under the present conditions and we will return soon.

This is a lovely dog friendly pub with a sweet garden. The service is great, the food is home cooked and delicious. Best value for miles.

We have our regular get together at the pub, about 12 of us, the food had been pre ordered, most having Steak, I chose the B.B.Q. ribs, which were excellent. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service was excellent.

Waited 5 minutes to be served as the landlord was busy with food orders. Lovely pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord. Had the Ribs special (probably from Costco, but that is good). Wife had huge portion of Chilli con Carne. Dog friendly pub with large garden. Cheesy chips looked realy good. will certainly go again.

There was 15 of us sitting down for our annual dinner, ( members of the skittle team ) and had preorded our food. All the meals were good and the service was excellent, I had the B.B.Q.ribs and really enjoyed them.look forward to next year.

Have eaten here a few times in the last few months and food never disappoints. It’s well presented well cooked good traditional pub food and exceptionally good value. Nice size menu with good choice and portion sizes are very good. If you’re looking for gastronomic food this isn’t for you. If you want good wholesome very well priced food... then you can’t beat it!

Recently visited this pub with a large group of friends for an evening of bar skittles, socialising and food. Being a large group our food for the evening was all pre-ordered. When we were ready everything ordered was delivered to the whole group quickly and efficiently and it was all nice and hot. All the food we had was cooked fresh and served hot to everyone. Although not a large pub there was sufficient room to play the bar skittles and for socialising. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning in the near future.

Me and my husband wanted to go to a nice country pub that we haven’t been to before for some lunch. We came across this delightful country pub. The atmosphere was delightful and the locals pulled us into conversations. The food was spectacular and cooked to pure perfection. Georgina who was working was so professional, welcoming and made time for non locals. Nothing was to much of a bother. Georgina is a lovely young lady who looks after the customers and can easily talk to her. She knows what she is doing and is confident with her work. We will be returning here for more food.

Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Excellent roast lunch and vegetarians catered for. Good value for money.

I visited The Three Compasses on a date night with my husband. The food was out of this world and the staff couldn’t do enough for our visit. I would definitely recommend a visit to this idilic country pub. It’s definitely a hidden gem! Will be visiting again soon!

Pub serves great selection of traditional ales, tasty food, reasonable prices, and prompt friendly service. We will defiantly be back again.

There were nine of us, members of the skittle team, having a meal together. Most chose steak from the menu, others had chicken and ham pudding. all the dishes arrived at the Table hot and were enjoyed by all. Fairly basic pub grub but well cooked and good value.

Arrived 3:15pm on a Saturday after a long cycle and so too late for food as service was over and the chef had popped out. Bought a pint of cider and sat in the pub garden resigned to being hungry. A few minutes later the bar lady popped out to say the chef had returned and they'd do a special order for me - great pub food and friendly attitude that makes me proud of our country!

Starter was late,when it arrived it was burning hot, so we had to twiddle our thumbs for ten min. before it was cold enough to eat. My gammon was thin and very salty, the fried eggs were solid as rock (no runny yolk). Food aside we had a customer with a dog sitting at the next table and the dog was jumping all over everyone. I love cats and dogs but, I would not like them jumping all over me when I am dressed to go out, neither I would like to stroke a dog to stop him jumping on me while I am eating. We had gone to celebrate my son's good grads in his GCSE's but, as the customers were so rowdy we could not here ourselves think, therefore could not have a conversation. However I can not fault the staff, their service was next to none.

I stop here on one of my cycle routes. The food is good, service very friendly and beer well kept - all at a very fair price.

A nice country pub with friendly staff. Food was nice, had two roast beef dinners and a roast beef. Nice and hot and plenty of it! Liked the jugs of gravy too! I didn't have pud as was stuffed but other two did. Both enjoyed them, proper home made, old fashioned crumble and sticky toffee pudding!

Visit this place every so often and find myself coming back. You can grab a good drink here and the food is delicious.

Just had another delicious meal at The Three Compasses. I had Scampi, hubby had gammon, both served on warm plates, lovely hot meals, good portion sizes, very good value for money. Staff very friendly, open fire, great atmosphere.

Decided to have a mid week treat. When we arrived, there was a party of ladies there for a Christmas meal and the pub was quite busy. We were shown to a table and our order was taken. The food arrived promptly and well presented. My husband and I both had the steak and ale pudding which was very nice indeed. The staff were very friendly, service was very good and the pub had an open fire which made the atmosphere very homely. Will definitely be going back again.

Recently visited here on our trip back to the UK fantastic atmosphere very friendly and food and drink delicious
