Restaurants in Kempston
The Cross Keys wood end
2 Tithe Road, BedfordSmart gastro pub with decent food at reasonable prices. We were there quite early for a Saturday evening (6.30) so it wasn't yet full but it was clearly a popular pub.
It could do with a lot more parking spaces.
You can dine with your dog which is a bonus.

Corner 5 Restaurant
Box End Park, Box End Rd, BedfordHadn’t been to Corner 5 for many years but went again this week with daughter visiting from N. Ireland. What a pleasure it was, food was excellent and inventive, service was good, views over water a bonus. One small gripe, a lemonade and white wine spritzer including service charge cost over £11!

Maypole Farm - Dining & Carvery
Fletcher Road, BedfordCome down yesterday for my 60th birthday with me wife and son to celebrate and it was a pretty decent end to my birthday. The food was room for improvement but our day was made by josh. He was very useful and happy to help with the carvery plate sizes displayed on the wall as it was our first visit to maypole. He was a pleasure to be served by and i will be coming back in the near future for another experience.

Dave's Snax
Woburn Rd, BedfordYou 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.

The Eatery
Unit A Roman Gate, Saxon Way, BedfordLovely independent cafe , staff are always cheerful and helpful .
Cafe is very clean with great atmosphere.
One Toilet very clean too
Only downside is side is the restaurant area needs some sort of sound buffering /proofing to disburse people’s conversations as the chatter /noise levels are elevated.

Archers Rest Cafe Bistro
Queen Eleanor Dr, Bedford4 of us came last Friday for your tapas evening. Food was spot on, great tasting fresh tapas dishes. Good selection of dishes and for those not wanting tapas there was the freshly cooked stonebaked pizza option which my partner thoroughly enjoyed. Staff were so friendly and helpful, lovely atmosphere with the music (but still able to chat).Will definitely return again before the end of September. Great being able to support a local business.

Blue Ginger Indian Takeaway Kempston (Bedford)
116 Bedford Road, Kempston, BedfordProof That Great Food Doesn’t Fade ?
Jo and I first walked into Blue Ginger back in 2003—and before we knew it, we were going almost weekly right up until they closed the restaurant side in 2021. Safe to say, we were gutted… but totally understood why.
Thankfully, the takeaway has carried on—and last night was another reminder of how good it still is.
Food turned up in about 45 minutes, piping hot and spot on. We ordered a Cheese Naan, Lajawab, Vindaloo sauce, Saag Cheese, Pilau Rice and Lamb Samosas… and honestly, not a single miss. Perfection.
This isn’t your standard takeaway—this is proper restaurant-quality food delivered to your door. You can tell the team at BG take real pride in what leaves the kitchen.
And for the quality, the price is very reasonable—which makes it even better.
If you’ve never had a Blue Ginger takeaway… what are you waiting for?

Costa Coffee
Unit 2, Saxon Centre, 234 Bedford Road, Kempston, BedfordI'm a regular visitor most days
I have always experienced high level of custom service especially by the manger kara smith all the staff are happy they are all trained extremely well
The manager has excellent product knowledge and customer service is outstanding
I always get offered all the upgrades and new products
Atmosphere is all good well maintained and very clean
It definitely has got busy over the last few years and they have coped very well
My coffee is always on point and that's why I keep going back
Can't say a bad word about the place other than I probably spend to much time and money there
👍

Costa Coffee
Interchange Retail Park, Race Meadows Way, Kempston, BedfordThis coffee shop has a sensored door which opens automatically and is great for anyone with a pushchair or mobility issues.
The array of food is good although I think the company itself needs to bring back the gluten free savory options i.e. sandwiches.
The area was clean and staff are polite. Theres a disabled toilet and 1 disabled parking slot outside.

KFC Kempston - Bedford Road
197 Bedford Road, Kempston, BedfordI've visited this store on a few occasions and each time the staff seem very uninterested in the customer. They are not rude just like robots until there mobile gets their attention. The place is clean and tidy. The food is far from exciting. Chips were cold, chicken was warmish. I might have been spoilt at other KFC with the piping hot food and enthusiastic staff. I would never choose to visit this branch again.

KFC Bedford - Interchange Retail Park
Interchange Retail Park, Unit 8 Ampthill Road, Kempston, BedfordA 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.
