Window at the Park - Pavilion in Bedford

Came to Bedford as a halfway point to meet family before Christmas, and found this cafe in the middle of the park. There is a takeaway menu (on board outside) and a sit down menu (found inside) which aren’t miles apart but are nonetheless different. We ordered meals and drinks for six. Food was pretty hearty - big doorstop sandwiches and generous portions of other food. Tasted good and reasonable price. Service was fine if a bit slow, though I think they may have had some new staff serving. Earns the 4 stars for being in the right place and having a decent enough menu. Great for a cuppa and bacon sandwich whilst the kids play

We popped by for a wedding anniversary lunch midweek, but was not able to get lunch at 2.30, so we had to move on somewhere else. Shame as we like the pavilion.

The waiting time to be served in this place is ridiculous,. There was one person in front of me that was ordering some drinks, she had 3 people serving her and after 10-15 minutes I gave up. To top it off someone a member of staff knew turned up and a drink was taken out to them straight away. No word of apology and I was ignored the whole time. I’m glad I left without ordering after service like that. This isn’t the first time this has happened here but it really is the case whether there’s is one person infront of you or 8, be prepared to wait a hell of a long time.

Este es un gran lugar para las Navidades, los mejores bistecs y un servicio agradable. No cabe duda de que reserva para el año que viene!

Acabamos de pasar un excelente desayuno en el pabellón. Muy impresionados. La comida y el servicio sólo igualados por su hermoso entorno natural. Esperamos volver a participar en uno de sus cenas.

Tasteful, unique decor; fantastic, friendly service; and deliciously simple fare make this the number one choice for breakfast in Bedford. Can't wait to go back!

Now open from 8:30am but more importantly, first opportunity to sit inside and enjoy the refurbished surroundings of the old pavilion. Tastefully done, relaxing atmosphere and still lovely people! Nice to think they can cater for people all year round.

What an amazing location. Surrounded by beautiful trees and plants this is the perfect place for a coffee and a bite to eat. You would never know you were in the heart of Bedford. Whenever there is decent weather around, this is where I will be heading! Just a small observation, it says it opens from 8:30 but I think it's actually meant to say 9:00am since I walk past it each day around those times.
