The best restaurants serving British food in Central Bedfordshire East of England

Wonderful little find. Absolutely delicious cakes and then returned next day for breakfast (also amazing) and more cakes. All the staff are welcoming and friendly and personally loved the music play list. A special little place that is definitely worth a visit (maybe more than one!)

You know it's good, when the place is so busy. I usually treat myself to an "Our House" with Loaded Fries, just because....and why not. The order process is super easy online, with a good selection of collection times to suit my needs. I have on occasion ordered just walking by and the staff are great and fit you in between the online riders they are preparing. Great, food, staff, location and a credit to our Market Town....

Dariela Cakes is a traditional Romanian style cake and coffee shop, and it reminds me of the Czech and East European style, which I liked from my travels and living abroad.   Dariela's is more like an old traditional cake shop.  On our visit, we had a Cappuccino and chocolate cake for Mumsy, (pictured) and a black Americano and caramel cake for me. The size of the cake portions really are that big! I also liked how strong tasting the coffee was. It's not bland and watery, as I've tasted in other cafes. With 5 cafes in the Quadrant, and despite Dariela being the cheapest, with cake portions twice the size for less than you pay or see in other nationally branded and established coffee shops, it may struggle to survive. However, this cake and coffee shop offers something different to the rest; a taste of real East European tradition. It may not be to everyone's taste but and I recommend you give it a try. I wish Dariela's every success.

Absolutely amazing meal at Eileen’s. Opted for the 7 course taster menu, every dish tasted incredible, full of flavour and texture. It’s extremely challenging to pick a favourite dish as they were all beautifully cooked and well thought out. The truffle and cheese lasagna was out of this world. The service matched the food. Staff were extremely attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Can’t fault the food, wine or staff.

Absolutely amazing. The club 60 cod and chips deal was huge and hot. I didn't think my mum in law would get through it. However she did with just a little batter left.

We threw my mums surprise 60th birthday party at the Oddfellows Arms. Jamie made it so easy and stress free to arrange and the bar staff were amazing the whole night. It’s such a great venue. Thanks Jamie and team!

Our fantastic local, busy, friendly and with a great selection of drinks. Food is fab too, especially the roasts!

Beautiful menu, rich in flavours and delightfully presented. Fantastic wine pairing and with a shared port flight just perfect to enjoy and still remember the meal! Strawberry and cream flavoured wine really was just that and loved as always the storytelling around each dish and especially each wine choice. The bread was delicious, warm, and perfectly soft in the middle crunchy on the outside. I loved the cerviche with rich tangy flavours, and later on, the lamb was the opposite with bold gravy. Having a pureed apaspagus in between was a great and colourful choice to move from one flavour range to the other. Being dairy free, I had the vegan version of the meringue, which, if anything, was too big. We had to have a coffee to stay awake, and the petite four whilst tasty were almost too much to eat. With hindsight, asking for a takeaway box for the sweets would have been a better idea. A firm favourite for those special occasions and definitely passes the 'could we cook this at home' test!

Great service. Friendly staff. Other guests were very noisy. Couldn’t hear yourself speak. Value for money yes, but there were a few things that need ironing out. The bread for the sandwiches was far too thick. They should be thinner, dainty. Filling very nice and just the right amount. The tiny quiches were a disappointment. Lemon Posset far too sweet. I have done this before but with whipped double cream to a billowy cloud consistency but not as sweet. Brownies, absolutely delicious. Very fudgy and moorish. Strawberry very nice size and sweet and juicy. I have dipped my strawberries before in 70% dark chocolate. Beautiful sultana scones. Were they made on the premises? Can’t tell. They were big and soft. Would have been better smaller scones. The jam was far too sweet I felt it on my teeth. I was too full to try anything else. Oodles amount of tea very nice. Just a little tip, I think putting sandwiches and the rest of the cakes etc should be all in 3 different plates rather than bringing sandwiches first and then the cakes. Overall a nice afternoon out to a place I had never been before.

Pefection. Venue = Stunning, team = brilliant, food = amazing, Value = outstanding. We visited back in October with a view to book our Christmas party in December. Mark and Jackie were more than accommodating with our questions and requests. fast forward to the evening in question and it couldnt have gone more perfect had we tried. the venue easily hosted 50 of us for reception drinks. move through to the gorgeous conservatory for the meal which I might add is michalin type food. the staff were attentive and polite, also adding a little fun to the evening. after dinner we enjoyed a disco in the second room, with ample room and despite what looks like a small bar, no one was waiting to be served. Mark, Jackie and team you made our evening super special. you have a perfect venue for Birthdays, christmas partys and weddings. we look forward to using your venue again.

Went for a visit for breakfast and wasn't disappointed. Food was beautiful, staff were extra friendly and it's an interesting place to go. Fresh yogurt with fruit and a bacon sandwich went down a treat. The full English looked great. Nice options for seating from sofas to bar type tables and an outdoor space. Right by the canal so had a walk then went back for another coffee. Definitely worth a revisit.

After being at Whipsnade Zoo all day we came here for dinner as a family, kids menu was great with options and they had a little park for the kids to play in before eating. We liked the atmosphere, everybody was really lovely and welcoming.

Lovely food, very reasonable and plentiful portions. Great selection on menu. Highly recommend. Friendly staff. Have returned several times.

Absolutely amazing food we ordered a large doner kebab (it’s absolutely massive!) a large mixed kebab (same again absolutely massive!) and a vegi burger and chips everything was cooked to perfection with amazing value for money if you are looking for an amazing takeaway spot this is it! Outstanding absolutely OUTSTANDING! 10/10
