The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Back for another top up of cappuccino and a snack for lunch before continuing on to the town. Parking down a side road opposite.

Me and my friend had a jacket each, they were massive and great value, we tried to be good but were tempted by the delicious cakes.

Beautiful decorated hotel.lovely couple that run it.the breakfast was great..Will be back..beautiful village.

Ground Floor Coffee Shop in Bedford is a lovely hidden gem inside King's House. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with plenty of comfy seating—perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. Their coffee, roasted locally by Wooden Hill Coffee Company, is excellent, and I love that they support tree planting in the Forest of Marston Vale. The food is fresh and tasty too—my pulled pork and apple sandwich was spot-on, and the cakes are all locally sourced. They also offer Teapigs teas, a loyalty card for regulars, and eco-friendly packaging. Whether you're staying a while or grabbing something via Uber Eats, it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in Bedford.

For what we paid £1100 - it was quite expensive. All very nice but genuinely too pricey. The restaurant was like dining in someone’s front room.

Food is great, never had anything bad or cold from here.

Stayed for a couple of nights in a very clean & spacious dog friendly room. Met friends for Sunday lunch, & enjoyed one of the best 3-course meals ever. Roast beef was spot on, as was the very boozy tiramisu afterwards. Breakfast both mornings was also very good, with very fresh orange juice, omelettes & full English. All the staff were very friendly, & made such a fuss of our border collie. A lovely short break & highly recommended.

We arrived at just gone midday and there was already a queue forming on the street! Because it was just the two of us, we got seated straight away - although it was at the stools directly in front of the window which meant the people in the queue outside were all staring hungrily at us while we ate, and we did feel a bit like animals in a zoo. My partner ordered the porchetta ciabatta and a poutine side, while I had the honey soy chicken bowl. Everything tasted fab and came in decent portions, and the servers were friendly and efficient. We had a nice lunch and I would happily eat here again, though I probably wouldn’t be prepared to queue up for it…

The driver arrived with the thermal bag open, the food is cold and inedible.

Been here lots of times over the years, and still really good. Gets busy as popular, and popular for a reason - it's really good. Lovely breakfast, lovely staff, lovely location and really good coffee. Chilly, windy morning but log burner on inside and cosy atmosphere. Lots of staff, so great service and great choice of food. Highly recommend.

My family and I have visited several times now. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent service. Our meals are always delicious. The menu is extensive making it difficult to choose.I had the beef and ale pie today which was scrumptious, the beef melted in my mouth. We will no doubt be back soon.

Yesterday we had a lovely dinner at The Crown Inn and enjoyed atmosphere, food and most of all very pleasant staff! It is perfect! First we visited the Church opposite the Inn. We had great support of a staff member to let us watch the beautiful church. Enjoyed the Nice moment for my wife! Can really recommend the Crown Inn!

Brilliant afternoon tea in a first class compartment on a lovely railway carriage, beautiful food and a very pleasant experience highly recommend 👍

What a treat, we sat in a garden pod with our dog. It was a very different experience but thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was wonderful, the staff attentive. Would definitely recommend.
