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

My mum and i visited here on Tuesday 24th October, I had the beetroot salad and my mum had the harissa butterbeans. Both meals were original, and delicious and the service was impeccable. We will certainly be returning - thank you.

Not eaten here for a long time had a wonderful meal last night and will definitely be going back and great hosts Cliff and Haley.

This place is a hidden jewel The Room was amazing The food is absolutely incredible The breakfast was delicious And the Host is a great guy I’ll definitely be back

Superbly cooked lunch for 4 of us. Everything was perfect and the pretty waitress was so efficient and friendly. Nice menu and reasonable prices. I don't think we could have had a more satisfying lunch anywhere.

Wonderful evening here to celebrate a birthday. Don’t expect common or garden “pub grub”. Our meal was fantastic, a superb menu plus a “ board of the day”. I must admit we indulged a bit (ok - a lot) on our starters, which were brilliant, before our mains came. Portions are, in my opinion, quite large, and we were full mid meal. We will certainly be returning, albeit no starter to enable us to sample the dessert menu. Must give our waiter a mention. Lovely young lad who was so attentive without the annoyance that some waiting staff seem to have. Our meal, including drinks came to just under £140. That, we felt, was excellent value for the four of us for such high quality cuisine. Highly recommended.

Called in for an impromptu lunch while visiting area. Friendly welcome, good drinks selection, good variety of food on menu, good service all at a reasonable price. Food was well prepared and presented. Arrived at about noon and was shown to a window seat in the restaurant, became quite busy for a Tuesday lunchtime with some obvious returning customers. Would definitely call again when in the area and would recommend to family/friends.

This is a great pub Sunday lunch was great also went another time for drinks .it’s a very nice pub in a beautiful village.

My wife and I had lunch on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. The food as well as the service was excellent. Highly recommend the skagen on toast of which I have attached a pic. Well worth a visit.

Super menu choices for meat and vegetarian / vegans. Started with sharing continental platter which served warmed bread and a good selection of meats, cheese and accompaniments. Enjoyed Sea Trout ( fresh fish option ) which was soft, delicious and served with a really lovely hollandaise sauce and asparagus. Accompanied by a selection of table potatoes and fresh vegetables. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was very good. Staff friendly and the pub has a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will visit again without hesitation. Thank you to all involved.

Hadn’t been to the Three Cranes for many years and were pleasantly surprised to see the refurbishment. Very welcoming staff and atmosphere. Lunch menu was varied and reasonably priced in comparison to many other restaurants in Bedford area. Food was very good and our friends and ourselves were all pleased with our choices. We will certainly go again.

Fabulous food, and a wonderful atmosphere. Many thanks to Cliff and his staff for making my sisters 50th birthday celebrations a memorable evening.

Clifff and all of his great staff 10/10 again ! Great food ! spotlessly clean ! And brilliant service Myself and my wife cannot recommend more !

Wonderful weekend stay at The Three Cranes. We were there for two nights. The room was extremely comfortable and well appointed. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent and the staff were all really friendly and helpful. The bar had a great buzz to it in the evenings and the pub itself is really well located in the village and for getting to other places. Parking was also very easy. Thoroughly recommend as a great place to stay. We will most definitely be going back. Thank you!

Popped in on the way home, amazing buzzy atmosphere on a Wednesday evening - Food was lovely! We had a pie of the day and a steak! And both were great sized portions and beautifully cooked! Quick and prompt service too! We will definitely be back soon!

We visited the pub last night for the first time, the place is just lovely, set in a pretty village, food was amazing and service was perfect. Strongly recommend. Can sit inside or out.

Came here for lunch with my partner, Enjoyed a shared starter of whitebait and calamari, followed by excellent rare roast beef ploughman's. Good well kept ales and sauvignon blanc. Varied menu, vegans and veggies well catered for on the small but varied menu. Daily specials...

Lunch (4) with son and partner in the marquee. Very good service. We had fish & chips... sounds boring but actually were very very good. Nice golden batter and the fish was beautifully moist.

Another great meal here on Sunday. Had the Sunday roast, portion sizes were excellent and the food was great. Two large Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, roast parsnip, greens, carrots and loads of gravy. My perfect Sunday dinner topped off with great friendly service as usual...

A wonderful family evening for 8. As usual, the food was excellent, as was the friendly service provided by Cliff and his Three Cranes Team. Highly recommended. James, Leanne & family.

We decided to have a take away having eaten here many times before (we are local). The Brisket was Delicious.....wonderful actually. The rest of the household demolished the jerk chicken and burgers. Well done Cliff and Hayley you are doing a cracking job.

Another great meal. Vegetarian choices are just as good as meat. Lovely mushrooms to start, Mushroom & Leek Cottage Pie for main... heavenly ! As ever, cooked to perfection, lovely veg. Service just right.. attentive but not intrusive.

I was very impressed with the range of cask and keg beers. They are kept in good condition by the staff. The service was also great and the staff were all attentive. The food was also good and I will go back there

We had not been here before, 6 of us went for lunch. Great food, good choice, good service friendly staff would recommend.

I have eaten here many times always excellent. My current favourite is the Asian board, a bit like a tapas . I first had this a few weeks ago and it was delicious, I mentioned to the landlady chef that the only thing that would improve the fish was a hint of coriander in the Asian salad.....this time it was perfect with coriander added

After enjoying such a fabulous Christmas lunch here last year we thought we would do it again this year. We were not disappointed! We were a table of 4 and booked last minute which was no problem at all. We had a welcome drink of sparkling wine while we perused the menu. Three of our group chose the Traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings and I chose the Braised pheasant with sloe gin and chestnuts. All plates were plentiful and were perfectly cooked. We had side dishes of beautifully cooked vegetables (not in my photo as could not fit all on plate!) We rounded off with choosing from a selection of homemade desserts which were bliss. Wished we had time for starters as well but our guests were pushed for time, such a lovely selection to choose from. There is also a cheese board as an option and liqueur coffees. We finished our meal off with a Christmas port. All I can say is what a wonderful lunch time and thank you to Cliff and his attentive staff, see you again for Christmas lunch 2020!!

A group of 6 of us called in by chance as we had been working nearby. This is lovely pub with an interesting menu that doesn't fail to deliver. Our party especially enjoyed the salmon fishcakes, the sausages and mash and the coconut curry. All were well-served with generous portions and really tasty too. Good service and lovely surroundings. Not expensive for the standard of food served. Recommended.

Took my parents out for a meal here the other night. Small village pub set in idealistic village setting. Inside we were welcomed warmly by the staff & shown to our table. Very modern restaurant. Good selection on menu. The homemade burger was really lovely & well cooked, we also had a special of haddock & chips, steak & chips. Really lovely meal - very well attended by the waitress. The puddings were very large and to die for - sticky toffee pudding was amazing - and so much so I had to take 1/2 of it home! Would definitely recommend.

The pub itself is beautiful and the rooms are lovely! Great atmosphere and the staff are fantastic, great experience all round. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our sandwiches, sausage and salmon (£7.50 and £8 respectively), and the chips were delicious, but the beer (Southwold) cost £3.90 and the St Clements (orange juice and lemon tonic) cost £4.15.So, although it was a pleasant experience with attentive staff, the price would cause me to question going again.

Friendly staff and excellent food from a great non chain owned independent pub/restaurant. Will certainly be going here again.

This was the first time we had visited this pub for Sunday lunch. One of us had pork with crackling and the other roast beef, it was delicious and presented lovely. The plate came with plenty of meat, a Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, parsnips and then a share size dish of broccoli, carrots, runner beans to share and gravy. The waitress made sure we were happy with our food and nothing was too much trouble; bringing extra gravy when required and a jug of iced water for the table. It was lovely and quiet, with friendly people. Would definitely recommend the Sunday Lunch to others.

Cliff and the team have surpassed expectations yet again with another evening of wonderful service ,great atmosphere and fantastic food. We booked a meal to celebrate a 70th party with 25 friends and family and although a tall order to deliver 25 plates all at once the food was hot, beautifully presented and tasting (as always) amazing.Thank you once again Cliff and please pass on our gratitude to all of ur hard working and polite pleasant staff

Very disappointed with the food I order.

Mid week lunch after a long dog walk. We sat in the rear garden (not to be confused with the tables out the front on the High Street), with the dog. Most, if not all, the tables had easy to erect parasols. Bowls of water for the dog were also outside. We ordered two Brie, Bacon and Mushroom Sandwiches and they were delicious! Lots of filling between chunky bread (white or granary) and came with large chips and a salad and I thought the cost of £6.50 very reasonable. The food arrived quickly and all staff were polite and friendly. I will definitely be returning. I note the previous reviewers comments on the car park, and yes there is limited space as it is shared with neighbouring businesses but we parked on the road directly outside.

Lunchtime end of April 2019. Main menu meals (not cheaper specials). Very small portions and at £13 each, not cheap for lunch. If we had wanted cheap there are plenty of £5 meals around! We are NOT big eaters. Salad was no bigger than a starter. 3 x 1/4 orange segments, a couple of carrot strips and leaves - VERY POOR - rubbish in fact. Fishcakes - well, it was a bit like "hunt the fish". Terrible again, mainly potato, tasted of smoked fish but it was difficult to find any. Not worth complaining, will vote with feet. We will not be returning.

Really nice food & attentive staff. Great selection of food, previously had a delicious wild mushroom & polenta dish.

We booked very late so we were pleased to get a table. We had two roast beef and two lamb. There was plenty of beautifully cooked meat on each of the plates, a good amount of roast potatoes, parsnips and a lovely Yorkshire pudding. Gravy was lovely and well seasoned. Three types of vegetable also accompanied the roast. The food was nice and hot. Dessert was lovely and we all had something different. The sticky toffee pudding, lemon frangipani and chocolate and orange pudding were all homemade and were good sized portions. My daughter had Blackberry brûlée which she said was lovely. The staff were lovely, both friendly but very competent and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be back.

We have just had supper with our two young grandchildren in the Three Cranes. The food was delicious and the service could not have been better. Two of us had what was billed as homemade steak and kidney pudding - and it was just that! Full of tender steak and plenty of kidney in a light suet crust. The portions are generous. It came with potato, if wanted, and very fresh properly cooked veg - cooked but not massacred. One of our grandsons had an excellent steak and the seven year old had a smaller portion of scampi and chips. The staff kindly served one sticky toffee pudding on two plates with ice cream for the boys. The service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Thank you to all.

Food excellent. Well cooked, decent portions. Tasty and well presented. Beer superb! Staff, friendly, efficient and very observant to drink levels and plate clearing. Overall, top Sunday lunch venue! Very impressed!

Just travelling between Bedford and Northampton when we decided to stop here for an impromptu light lunch. We ended up having a Christmas dinner which was extremely good. My wife had the Grand Marnier Creme Brûlée which was outstanding ‘best ever!!!’- well done chef! Very friendly staff- what a find!

Just returned from a fabulous Christmas lunch at The Three Cranes. The Christmas menu caters for all tastes with a choice of 3 courses, we chose the traditional Turkey dinner. The slices of turkey were thick and succulent and very generous served with a very tasty stuffing, sausage wrapped in bacon, roast pots, roast parsnips, huge Yorkshire pudding and large side dishes of fresh Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and carrots accompanied by bread sauce and cranberry sauce. The gravy was so tasty we had extra jugs which was no problem at all. The tables were beautifully dressed with crackers and table decorations and the staff were fantastic making us feel Christmassy even though it is only the 1st of December!! Highly recommend even if you pop in for a wonderful mulled cider which beautiful aroma greets you when you arrive.

We called in here for a simple mid-week lunch and were delighted by this stylish pub. Lovely roaring fire, friendly staff and a good menu full of temping delights. As we only wanted something light we went for the sandwich and soup comb, well I did my husband had sandwich and chips so we could share. Loved my BLT and his sausage and red onion jam was delicious too.

Just returned from having an impromptu family Sunday lunch at The Three Cranes. First time we have visited & had an excellent experience. Waitress staff couldn't have been more helpful & prompt - nothing was to much trouble (we asked for extra roast potatoes/gravy etc). Varied menu - light bites, full Sunday roasts, fish dishes & other main meals available. Food was served efficiently even though they were really busy & was a high standard. Lovely range vegetables & all was well presented. Big thumbs up as well for the desserts. Good size portions too. Very satisfied customers!

What a wonderful place to stay after a day at Santa pod. Quaint pub with stunning room, good food and warm hospitality with friendly service.

Thought we would try out the three cranes. Ended up being very disappointed. We had the steak and the pork. The steak was tough and gristly and the chips and onion rings were swimming in grease, also the peppercorn sauce had no taste so was like putting cream on your food. The pork was ok but the vegetables and potatoes were bland and overcooked.

What a lovely pub in a beautiful village. Well worth turning off the main road into the High Street to see the gorgeous architecture, but also to visit the Pub (on the left if coming from A1M). Lovely friendly staff who were very welcoming and the food was wonderful. All the food was fresh, very tasty and you could tell it was of very good quality. The female chef is obviously a good one! Not the cheapest pub food around, but you get what you pay for and this was high quality for sure - we were delighted!

My Brother in law and I stopped off to have some food and a chat at the Three Cranes.

Fully recommend The Three Cranes. The bedrooms were spotlessly clean, with everything you need. A lovely welcoming pub and the owners couldn't do enough for us. Had a great evening meal, delicious food with excellent service. Fantastic breakfast with a great choice of food, the owner even popped out and bought black pudding for my son in law!

We booked dinner, bed and breakfast. The food and service were great, the bedroom and en suite were also brilliant. The only downside was that the bar maid was new and couldn't pull a proper pint!

Visited for my daughters birthday lunch. Staff very attentive and polite. My grandaughter is Gluten intolerant but sh was catered for exceptionally well. Our food was excellent and was served all together, wonderful. I can highly recommend this pub/restaurant . A little more expensive than your usual hostelry but at least you get what you pay for. The surroundings and furnishings are also of a very high standard.

We went in for an unplanned dinner. When we got there the pub looked really nice and traditional and the staff were very friendly.

I have been an occasional bingo caller, but not in Turvey, Bedfordshire where you can choose to eat at the Three Fishes or the Three Cranes. We stopped first at the Three Fishes for the possibility of a beautiful summer’s lunch next to the river. No lunchtime menu, no lunchtime specials and the “full menus” left on the bar were covered with grease or sauce. Apparently they had done battle in the garden! The menu was a choice of fried food or loads of carbohydrates. Where were the exciting summer salads? The tasty healthy options? The fresh fish evocative of the river run and promoted in the pub’s name? The fact that there were smokers outside spoiling the country air and what might have been delicious aromas, we left and sought out the Three Cranes. Not that we wanted to eat crane!

Visited the Three Cranes after a Sunday road trip to Bedfordshire. We hadn't booked but as it was just after 12 it was still quiet. (We were told it would be busier a little later). The waitresses were lovely and we received a very warm welcome and we were offered either the restaurant or garden to eat. We decided as it was a nice day to sit in the garden. We both ordered Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, The beef was flavoursome as were the vegetables. There was a small amount of gravy over the roast and extra gravy in a jug was delivered to our table. The horseradish sauce was delicious. Staff came to check with us that our meal was ok. When we requested more horseradish sauce the large pot was immediately replenished (we love horseradish sauce!) Thank you for a great Sunday Lunch

Ate here last night, hadn’t been to pub for years so was nice to return. Very nice meal - good service, will be back to try again.

Excellent food and service . The veg were spectacular . Nice simple menu with plenty of choice . We all had something different and shared the veg . One to come back to .

We stopped at The Three Cranes for lunch & it was really nice, great choice on menu. Came up quickly & tasted great, highly recommended.

Lovely garden in the sunshine for the bank holiday weekend. Great service from Cliff and the team, couldn’t do enough for us.

Absolutely lovely, best roast I have ever had. Definitely recommend. Thanks Cliff and all your staff.

Our quaint village pub turned into a fine Italian restaurant back in feb so all reviews before can be ignored, and I've been here at least half a dozen times since.

Having walked on a sunny morning we arrived to The Three Fishes with a warm welcome and great service, drinks and yummy Italian lunch... lucky enough to sit outside and enjoy bridge and river views - highly recommend!

Had a lovely Mothers' Day lunch here today.Fabulous food and excellent staff. Look forward to eating here again.

Lovely pub, tasteful decor. Staff pleasant. Food average, sharing platter of meats over priced. Bread heated in microwave so like rubber. Steak okay

I visited this place before moving to the village over two years ago. I had a bad first experience but since then have been back many times to eat or have a drink. The food has always been spot on, the staff are friendly and...

This is great. A pub that concentrated on home cooked food. Good quality and nice service. Small choice means fresh food well cooked and served. Always chef specials well worth choosing.

Booked late to take our friends for a meal while they were visiting.

Enjoyed a good meal here with friends last week. Fish particularly is good option. The pub was smartened top a couple of years ago or so. In the winter there's often a fire going and the atmosphere is homely. Friendly helpful staff.

We went in here a Friday lunch time and as soon as we walked in we got a lovely welcome from the barman which then made us want to stay and have lunch not just a drink. We had a lovely meal of good quality fresh, healthy ingredients and there was a good choice! The customer service again from the waitress was excellent very attentive to your needs and smiley and likeable! We just walked in not knowing what to expect and walked out thinking that was a great dining experience! Thank you to everyone at The Three Cranes. It may be worth booking as we got there for 12.30 and it became full by 1pm.

The restaurant is nicely laid out, the dining area is spacious, light and airy. Large tables easily accommodated people, plates and dishes without being cramped. The young service staff was attentive and courteous and the service was speedy. The restaurant consistently has an excellent fresh fish menu with a wide selection of standard fare, well done and presented. Ok my last visit I enjoyed a hake fillet perfectly done, crusted with herbs (the chef had chosen a blend heavy with tarragon which match well with the fish and held up well against the accompanying garlic prawns. The accompanying veg selection included new potatoes which of course had to be dowsed in the prawns garlic butter, an absolutely delicious endeavour. Finally we finished with a brioche and fruit pudding with warm custard. The entire meal was delightful, and well served. The 3 Cranes is an excellent choice in the area for a casual upscale meal, especially if you are in search of great fish options.

We visited the Three cranes as a party of 4, the food is well presented, hot, and worthwhile. The staff are first class, You can eat inside or out in the gardens. Well worth the visit

Pleasant pub/restaurant in nice village. Quiet when there midweek. Good food and service. Church also worth a visit as historic.

Así que es hora del té lunes y queríamos la alimentación, resulta que la mayoría de los lugares cerca del Parque Harold odell no sirven comida en lunes.

Fuimos un viernes por la noche (mesa de 4). La comida era excelente, muy bien cocinados y presentados, y el buen servicio. El único problema aquí es el ambiente que, debido a la decoración austera, es frío y poco atractivos.

Was a lovely , very friendly place.Pleasant atmosphere, excellent friendly attentive staff.We had viewed the menu prior to our visit.Meeting friends from Bedford at a half way pointWe were not impressed with the menu online, but hoped for a specials board.Sadly there was not really no such thing.Just two fish dishes.Eventually , price seemed very high, for a very ordinary meal.We would not plan to return.

We've brought friends to eat here on a number of occasions, as well as eating here as a couple. We have also popped in for drinks. It's my favourite local pub. Lovely warm ambience, friendly smiling staff, stylish decor and great food.

We have visited this pub& restaurant several times and it never fails to offer a positive experience You have the main restaurant plus the bar area for more casual dining - which is dog friendly Both areas are very comfortable and inviting, plus the lovely garden at the back set to lawn and attractive beds & outside the front of the pub a area of casual benches and tablesStaff as always friendly , helpful and welcoming There is parking to the side of the restaurant as well as to the side of the pub close to the church and on the little village high street .Food is always freshly prepared with quality ingredients and good portion sizeChips are home made and delicious On this occasion the Avocado in our salad was under ripe Highly recommend and will be back again soon as the warmer weather kicks in .
