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.

Subtlety with enthusiasm Great experience. Firstly finding the way in, fortunately we met someone else visiting who showed us the path. Met as we walked in by young staff very keen to assist. We were seated down the stairs in the lower area. Some reviewers have nit picked about the decor, personally, like many other aspects of the venue, it simply is part of what this place is. Staff, including chef are all young and very enthusiastic. The experience is a selection of fascinating dishes with mostly subtle but fascinating flavours. Personal preference was the bread roll was slightly too salty for my taste and the beef cheek another really strong flavour but that's my view. The fish dishes were both superb, the desserts were both amazing. I was really looking forward to the rhubarb course slightly concerned that is would be challenged by the strength of the rhubarb, but it was pitched perfectly. Lovely experience, a venue with interested friendly staff who clearly cate. Chef was lovely to chat to, obviously very passionate about his craft. One minor observation, we travelled a round trip of maybe 180 miles both needing to drive as part of the journey, so a small selection of cocktails might have been a good option to offer too. Toilet (mixed bathing) clean and functional. Great experience, has potential for future escalating awards

Always very welcoming atmosphere, great food cooked to your preference and service is always excellent.

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!

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.

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.

Booked by SIL as a b’day treat Afternoon tea for 4 (1x gf) was absolutely fantastic! Huge portions of cake, wide variety and lots of top ups of tea. Selection of sandwiches were great (salmon and cream cheese, egg and cheese and ham ) excellent quality produce. The gf brownie, scone and Victoria sponge cake were lovely. Thank you for really looking after us, service was terrific and whole experience was great! As an a cake critic who’s gf we will definitely be back!!

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.

Amazing taste special with the curry sauce good prices and very friendly customer service
