The best restaurants serving British food in Castle Bedford East of England

Lovely fresh food. Perfect for a takeaway lunch - fresh baguettes, wraps, Indian samosas, croissants, pasties and a fab selection of cakes/tray bakes too! Hot and cold drinks. A good choice for vegetarians too. We found their lovely little shop by accident a while back now, and have been popping in regularly ever since. The owners are warm friendly people. Definitely worth a visit if you want a delicious tasty lunch.

I barely servived after stepping out from this cafe , a very high step

Pebbles was amazing!! Lovely cocktails and Christmas pudding!

Cosy, clean rooms, tucked away from the pub itself. Warm welcome from the publican and the castle is a lovely lively pub

Viajo un poco por trabajo, y diré con orgullo que me encanta volver a casa en este café. Gran comida, ambiente acogedor, y golosinas para mi diente dulce cuando he estado saludable con mi comida. ¡Me encanta!

Midden in het centrum, zeer vriendelijk personeel/eigenaar. Dé plek voor een echt Engels ontbijt! Ook takeaway. Niet duur.

Love this venue!!! Have held many an event here. Excellent

In the armpit of Bedford town centre this is your typical Wetherspoons, filled with typical Wetherspoons customers, Best thing is that most of these regulars cannot make it up the stairs to the little mezz floor leaving this free for regular folk to come and enjoy the wonders of Spoons in relative normality.

Lovely pub, great vibe, friendly people and I was lucky enough to catch a great Ska/Reggae band, The Pride. Definitely worth seeing them 😁

We only stopped for a quick coffee and cake. There wasn't a vegan option but as it's December I wasn't expecting the bistro to have one. My mum had a delicious lemon drizzle cake and then the manager popped off and returned with a slice of coffee and walnut vegan friendly cake. Great service, great cake and great coffee. Thank you 😊

Two of us went to The Pilgrim's Progress late afternoon/early evening. One of us was vegan, but we both chose from the vegan menu - and why not?! The reason why not quickly became clear... Both of us ordered the "Beyond Burger"...and it was certainly "beyond" something - belief in this case, and not in a good way... One of us had it as it came, and the other asked for it without the bun. Before anyone says anything, the "bun" is a fairly pathetic and undeniably tiny brioche roll. Presumably brioche is cheaper than a proper bun, which is no doubt why Wetherspoons use them...but there should be a choice. The only saving grace there was that it may have been crap, but at least there wasn't much of it...which is ridiculous in itself. Anyway..."no bun" seemed to become translated into "no bun and no salad"...oh, and I think that whoever the salad kleptomaniac was had also stolen half the chips off of both plates. It was a very large plate, with a very, very, small meal on it. I'm not even sure that either of them would even have met the Trading Standards requirement to have been sold as a child's meal! Did I mention the burgers? About the size of a large tiddly-wink each, if tiddly winks were made from cardboard... and barely thicker. There was no saving this "meal". When called over a staff member did apologise, and bring a tiny amount of salad and a few more chips...and at least had the good grace to appear to be embarrassed at what his employer was asking him to provide customers with...but his (poor) "solution" just emphasised how badly Wetherspoons had failed. I've included a photograph (taken quite close up or you might have struggled to see what was presented!) of the bunless, saladless, and fairly chipless "meal".. Before that I've included an actual Wetherspoons picture of a non-vegan burger meal, to allow some comparison, even without a bun. Wetherspoons - you did a crap job.

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.

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

Possibly the best kebab I’ve ever had. Instead of serving in a standard pita they hand make a naan and cook in front of you which tastes superb, plus the amount of meat and salad added is both sizeable yet appropriate. There’s a few tables for dining in which were clean and the staff were friendly enough. This will be my kebab place of choice from now on.
