The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

A prebooked meal for 3 ladies. The pub was very quiet and we're shown to our reserved table. I ordered a vegetarian dish, brie, cranberry and walnut Wellington served with new potatoes and fresh veg. One friend had liver and bacon withe new potatoes and veg. The other friend had chicken breast with a wine sauce and the same vegs as us. Our meals were very nice and even managed a dessert. 2 of us had a cheese cake and I had Baileys bread and butter pudding with ice cream. All very delicious. We chatted a lot and weren't asked to leave although we were the last to leave, they were open until 11PM tonight.

Lovely traditional pub, that does great food, at decent prices and has such friendly staff. Toilets are super clean which is always fab.

Lovely homemade food. Sadly no scotch eggs at the moment. Lovely coffee too.

The coffee is delicious as is the baklava! Friendly staff and atmosphere.

the 4th and last time I try this place. I say try because I come during the hours advertised as open and they haven't been open.

The carvery was excellent just like old times with plenty of everything and good service. There were different of us and we did not have to wait would recommend.

Excellent coffee, cakes, bagels. The best in Bedford

always good, huge portions, fresh and tasty.

This restaurant was over priced the food was so bland nothing about it was portuguese, the way they add vat and service charge is very misleading the vat should be included in the price of the food. When you look at a menu it should have the total price of the meal as you think the meal is a price then when you get the bill they have added on another £20 for vat and service charge. I will never recommend this restaurant the staff were miserable

Just been here for an evening meal. E has delicious food served by the most delightful and smiley owner. Her husband is the chef, who made the most wonderful baked Alaska, unlike any I’ve ever had but totally delicious. The coconut prawns e shared as a starter were fabulous and the main course beat me; too much deliciousness on one plate. We have to go again and take friends with us. I want them to know about this place too.

I went there early afternoon this past Sunday. Unsurprisingly it was busy not not overly so for a mother's day. Customer service was non existent rather than bad. I did not see any staff member acknowledge anyone in the long queue. Not even a hello, apology for the delay or even something radical like offering the menu to look at. I gave up after being ignored for 20 minutes. Either the staff don't care about customers or need training. Not sure what the 3 members of staff behind the bar were actually doing!

The fish was freshly fried, the batter was crispy, the chips were good and the peas were delicious. The staff was friendly. Thank you and really nice to meet you.

I've been going since i was in secondary school and the guys have never let me down. Ali especially is doing his dad proud with the service, good job mate

Excellent Sunday lunch. Meat and vegetables first class. Yorkshire pudding not brilliant today - a little dry - but has been good on previous visits - so probably a blip. Cauliflower cheese , beef, roast potatoes and swede mash first class.

Excellent food,great service very quiet as well & the owner came to check everything was ok & was very approachable, it is one of the best roast dinners I have ever tasted...definitely worth every single penny!!!
