2 Tithe Rd, Bedford

I had a fabulous birthday lunch at this lovely restaurant in July this year. A large family group, we all enjoyed our food and had a fabulous time. We would definitely come again.
There was a little blip as we arrived - a wait to be shown to our table by the meeter and greeter who was on a lengthy phone call, then having to move to another table as the meeter and greeter had got it wrong.
But apologies were made and it certainly didn’t spoil anything for us.
Five stars nearly all round. 4 for service due to the blip at the beginning. Everything else was great!!

Ordered a takeaway. It was THE best delivered food i have had in a long time. It was delivered on time. The driver was super friendly and very smart (which is rare) the food was so hot we had to let ot cool before we could eat it, then when we could, it was so flavourful and exactly as it was described. Certainly impressed with the quality and experience. A huge thank you to them all. We will use your service again and be recommending you!

Dave's Snax

Woburn Rd, Bedford

You can tell a good layby cafe by the amount of trucks stopped outside. Egg, sausage and bacon stick will keep you going all day. Good portion size, proper sized cups of tea. Good banter & a range of sauces to spice things up. Better than a McDonald's breakfast and you won't be hungry by midday.

If you’re looking for an excellent tandoori and curry house stop here. Quite simply the best, even better than what’s in the restaurants. Consistently good every single time, and more than helpful and accommodating if we have to ring them. Very much my favourite place to order from!!

Not the best Costa in the area. Service is okay, however, the woman (manager maybe) can come across as very stand offish. The Atmosphere quite loud.

Things have seemed to have changed. Very good experience.

Friday 22/12 evening as part of the premiere Inn deal we had a meal here. The girl at the restaurant was miserable. Definitely not 'happy to help.' The food was good and Oliver was lovely. He definitely was 'happy too help.'Breakfast was ok but not much on offer. Angel was lovely. We felt sorry for her as a family that thought they were more important than anyone else wouldn't leave the table even though they arrived 45 minutes late. Other people were waiting for that table but they didn't care. Angel did her best to explain the situation as professionally as she could but they were far too proud too be thinking of anyone else but themselves.Good food and reasonably priced.

G's is my go to mid week takeaway, it is affordable and delivery drivers always come with a smile on their faces. Chicken tikka wrap is very nice although I wish they would put more cucumber in there salad ? I do think the large portion could be a bit bigger and that would have pushed me to give 5?

KFC Kempston - Bedford Road

197 Bedford Rd, Kempston, Bedford

I recently visited this KFC, and while the food was very good, the customer service left much to be desired. The staff member (Lady with head covered)serving me was unfriendly, didn’t greet me, and had an unpleasant attitude, giving me weird looks throughout the interaction. It really took away from the overall experience. Good customer service makes a big difference, and unfortunately, this was disappointing. I hope the management can address this issue to improve the experience for future customers.

A good place to go, hence why I do still take the little one here when they want a KFC, just wish they had enough staff to do the table service as it's not the best for waiting around for your order.
