The best restaurants in Bedford East of England

A lovely and very well decorated restaurant with very poor customer service. All the standard duties of a restaurant just missed. Drinks were not offered through out our meal, no one around to ask for more drinks or to take our dishes when finished. Food was very average for the price. When we finally got someone’s attention and asked for dessert we thought we had been forgotten as the waiting time was far too long, they informed us that our ticket did not go through to the kitchen and gave us extra scoops of ice cream. Very unfortunate that a lack of customer service has let down a very beautiful setting.

A fantastic restaurant, totally authentic dishes with fabulous service. It is such a nice change to be able to sit down for a meal and not feel rushed or hurried. The value for money is very good too.

hot flavourful, tasty and not greasy.

We have been with mando for years. Have tried so many dishes on the menu but always come back to meal C for two . Sweet andsour chicken balls with extra sauce. Huge plateful on Saturday night with plenty left for Sunday. Tbh it's 4 meals. Always delicious always fresh. Just the best chinese takeaway in Bedford. Have eaten in a few times and also amazing.

Oh Dear, another Pub totally unaware of the current disability regulations. There isn't a ramp, there are even any same level flooring, upon enquiring with one of the staff regarding access to the premises, by one in a wheelchair, we were curtly reminded that this was a traditional Public House, who don#t cater for those with mobility issues! Such a shame as my friend had his legs blown off in Afghanistan, and is a hero.

Absolutely disgusting food and disgusting customer service in-fact I don’t know which was worse. The food was stale & soggy just like the owner. Definitely not recommended.

We nipped in for lunch on the way back from Norfolk. Ordered lunch for 4, sausage, egg and chips x2, gardeners platter salad(poor mans ploughmans) and fishless finger panini. The food was served quickly, the salad wasn't very inspiring for near on £12. the veggie option tasted weird on first mouthful so my wife just ate the salad and then a waiter came to the table with another dish which was the veggie meal, we had been given a chicken tikka and mint panini by mistake. No apology or explanation until we approached the counter. My wife being a vegetarian was upset at eating meat, won't be returning.

Excellent to have our local reopen again . Like normal excellent service nice to have a landlord that genuinely cares about his business the man never stops working . Great team felt safe with Covid restrictions. Would just be great if the pay at table app was more consistent to help take the pressure off the waiting staff .

This place been my go to Chinese since I was a child know it like the back of my hand it's always been a good place to eat from but recently it's improved immensely, food is so fresh and authentic it just trumps the other takeaways! The chicken and cashew nut dish here is unreal here I can't have one from anywhere else

i use to go their tuesday and thursday with my carer we enjoyed are visits we got served by nice girls staff we miss the sandwiches which they use to serve their

Havent been here for a while. Food used to be excellent last time we went for a roast dinner it was nearly cold having waited half an hour for it. Used to be a guy running it full of character and a comprehensive menu that has all changed. Its over the road from us but rather get in the car and find somewhere else

What a lovely place to visit. Great cafe, good coffee and staff. Lovely locally made cakes and a nice setting. The shop and plant area is well laid out and has local products too. First time we’ve visited, but we will be back.

Will never go back, food lukewarm and bland. Constantly hassled by tote girls to place bets on dogs. Dogs didn’t look happy or healthy, hardly excelling in animal welfare.

What did I like about the place….Not a lot, staff helpful. Breakfast was nice but extortionate. The disabled room was not fit for purpose. Furniture layout wrong. Crick in neck to watch tv and phone on wall out of reach. Bathroom, handbasin too small no place to put toiletries and no handwashing gel at basin or towels nearby. Room was also located a long way from reception if you are a manual wheelchair user!!! Restaurant food massively overpriced and mediocre…I’d have rather gone to Macdonalds and I don’t like Macdonalds !!!

A group of residents of Briar Bank Park today had "their" Christmas Lunch. Despite being rather short of staff, the ladies did an amazing job. Nothing was too much trouble, the tables were all laid out with pretty decorations. The food was amazing, a proper Christmas lunch with all of the trimmings, followed by a delicious desert, then mince pies and tea/coffee. Thankyou on behalf of Briar Bank coffee morning group.
