The best restaurants in Kempston Rural Bedford East of England

What a lovely place. Held a Golden Wedding Party here. Staff couldn’t have been any more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back for the next party.

very pleasant location as you can watch water skiers whilst you dine on a nice window table like we had! Food and service were very good and we would certainly recommend it to others.

We went for a bottomless brunch and it was really good. Staff, super friendly and helpful and attentive. We had a call button in a private room, yet didn't need it because they kept checking if we needed more drinks as part of the brunch. Food and drinks was very nice. We had the cocktail bottomless brunch and they actually tasted like alcohol unlike a lot of places. Recommend the bottomless brunch as value for money.

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.

Lovely cafe in this nice neighborhood. Very friendly staff and nice vibe. Latte a bit too hot by my standard.

We joined the team today for an afternoon tea and had a beautiful meal. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Thank you 😊. The other dishes that past us by all looked really nice and we will be returning soon for a try of other dishes. Thank you

Not bad. We clearly went at a busier than normal time (Saturday lunchtime) and you could see the staff were stretched, the place was very busy and quite a few tables were left messy ect but they were actively trying to get the area sorted. Food and drink was nice.

A group of friends met up at the Three Cranes for lunch - on my recommendation as I have eaten here before on a number of occasions. Three in the party had fish and chips underwhelming. I had the corn fed chicken. This is quite the worst meal I have had in a long time. The chicken was tough and tasteless and it was swimming in watery butter. There were vegetables on top including some sort of mushroom which, frankly, was tough and inedible. Mixed in with the buttery liquid were some leeks which just didn’t complement the meal at all. The waitress then brought more vegetables in a separate dish but far, far too many for one person. She didn’t come to check how the meal was so I ploughed on. I must have left half the food and, eventually, I expressed my disappointment to the waitress who informed me that she would tell the chef. I am wondering if there has been a change in the chef in recent months? We shall not be returning to the Three Cranes any time soon.

Great country pub with a warm a friendly atmosphere.

Bland food. Chicken was so dry it was inedible. We will not be returning. The menu is too large for the chefs to make everything fresh. Obvious when the food comes too fast and is poorly executed.
