The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

It is a decent pub but would not recommend if you want a more upperclass evening out. Beer is usually quite nice but the food is definitely lacking. Service and attitude could be better.

The food is very nice (truffle and hard cheese chips) and it’s good value compared to other pubs in Bedford. It has a good amount of side/starter dishes with a nice deal (4 for £20)

I visited for a special occasion Sunday lunch as a party of ten with the children up one end and we all had a brilliant time kids included. The service was really personalised to us thanks to our fantastic waiter Aravind who was really warm, attentive and efficient. The food and drink were delicious and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere then perfect spot to walk off the food and drink after with the beautiful river and village! Thank you very much Aravind and Rose & Crown for providing the perfect venue for us all :-)

Me and my daughter went on a Sunday. We pre-booked our table in advance because we know Sundays are busy. We could not fault the food or service, and will definitely return again. The price was very favourable too.

We visited Cambridge with our cats so we’re looking for a pet friendly pub. This stands out as it’s next to the river (you can sit in the beer garden) and has some interesting history. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the staff and we were allocated a quiet table in the pub. The food were delicious and the ingredients were very fresh! It’s so good that we forgot to take photos!We had a lovely lunch there and will definitely be back!

Farewell drinks for a colleague.

First time of visiting the Beehive, but won't be the last, its a lovely pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The garden is big with lots of booths and sesting and very comfortable. The food was also very good and lots of it! Definitely worth a visit!

Only used the EV chargers but excellent fast chargers.

Great service, friendly staff and customers

The menu here is superb, as is the wine list, the decor and the whole experience. Food cooked over the fire is sensational - and I wholeheartedly recommend a visit. Whilst not every space is dog friendly there are several rooms that are in addition to the beautiful outdoor space. A fantastic experience to be repeated Im sure.

We went in for breakfast as was staying nearby with our family of 7, was greeted by the lovely Leiyanna (I believe a member of staff who also works next door at the premier inn). Leiyanna was so nice, she explained the menu, took our order promptly and checked on us throughout our breakfast. Food was cooked to order and was all very nice. Lovely little beefeater with fantastic service!

Fantastic place or food and drink

I loved the brownie all the food is just so nice

Sadly this ‘pub’ operates table service only, so it’s not really a pub is it? The once-lovely traditional bar now houses some outward-facing computer screen ‘tills’ for the staff and provides a surface for the empties to be stored on. Not a great look! When we were there, there was only one member of staff behind the bar preparing drinks for the entire pub and restaurant - what a crazy and frustrating system! All the human connectivity of going to the bar, checking out the beers, maybe having a chat with a stranger - gone. Perhaps this is the only way of operating that generates enough profit to satisfy the owners, but it makes for a very sterile experience. Also, the place is overrun with lockdown dogs and their inexperienced owners.

Had fish & chips no taste at all must be frozen.Service terrible .Don't not recommend.
