Bar pub in Bedford

“Came in for food on Sunday as carvery. Also had discount code sent through. Waited a little bit in the queue at the bar, but was fine. Carvery looked really good, everything we had was great & guy on carvery was nice. Will be going back again soon”

“Been meaning to try this place for months, but could never get a booking! Make sure to book weeks in advance! Really good food, very friendly service, and would definitely come again!”

“My wife and I have been coming to the Blue Glass for a few years now and it's our favourite place in bedford. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable about the selection of wines they have. The baked camembert is lovely and the atmosphere is so relaxed and warm. We couldn't recommend it more.”

“Pete's shop is amazing. So much choice and some rare wines! He keeps our fridge/ drinks cabinet topped up, whatever the occasion!”

“Great little proper pub that has thankfully stood the test of time. Not changed since I last visited 20 years ago and that is a highly positive thing. Good prices for great beers. Since returned 3 times in past 2 months. Why did I wait so long???!!! More fool me...”

“Revisited at lunchtime today. What a lovely village pub! Excellent two pints ( Potbelly) in perfect nick. £4.10 a pint, woo hoo! Spotless loos. Super landlady to talk to. Plenty of oldie lunchtime customers. Decent home made lunches esp the esps! Glorious garden to sit out in. Great to see a room with Northants skittles in it too. And best of all, whether you go out the front or back there's a bus stop right there to get you home. I loved it! Go, I beseech you!!”

“Love love love!! What a great pub. We are first timers and came down to the Devvy last week for the 125th anniversary day and what an atmosphere, the place was jumping! All the bar staff and the owners were all dressed in outfits from different decades, it was fab! Very friendly too. Goats in Trees were our favorite, they were electric. We will definitely be back ❤️”

“A lovely little gem of a place. Amazing and lovely staff. Beautiful bar room with plenty of seating.”

“Got a tip off a local foodie page on Facebook and visited with my friend. Wow was well worth the 40 min drive. Very attentive service and the food was amazing. They use local produce so the menu varies day by day . We got there early and it was full by the time we left make sure you book. Will definitely return to sample more.”

“I recently visited this hidden gem of a vegan cafe located on a boat near the skate park, and it was an absolute delight. Despite not knowing about its existence until a friend's recommendation, I'm so glad I discovered it. The entire menu is vegan-friendly, catering perfectly to our party's dietary preferences. The service was exceptional; the lady serving us was incredibly polite and friendly, making our first visit feel warm and welcoming. We appreciated how accommodating they were to our requests, happily making changes to our orders without any fuss. Even when they ran out of nuggets, they went above and beyond by deducting it from the bill, a gesture that truly impressed us. The food arrived promptly and exceeded our expectations in taste and presentation. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, adding to the overall wonderful experience. Despite being initially quiet, the cafe gradually filled up, creating a lively ambiance. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience that left us all thoroughly satisfied and eager to return.”

“I’ve been coming here for a while and always enjoy the drinks they make, the staff are really welcoming. The variety of drinks is amazing, you can actually taste the alcohol instead of just getting ice and juice like you get everywhere else. There were so many drinks I had never heard of, what a place. The decor is so London, the atmosphere is so London and what great people they get there, I literally made new friends, there is nothing to come close to this bar in Bedford. Thank you OURS for a great 7 hours in one place that flew by, I felt like I was only there a couple. Love you all that looks after us girls. See you all soon”

“Absolutely stunning old pub. Exposed beams, fireplace, low ceiling. Lovely little pub garden too. Sheltered and open.”

“Stunning food, amazing atmosphere and a pretty restaurant. Repeat customers!”

“My cousin and I have been for afternoon tea here twice now and will definitely go again. The homemade cakes and sandwiches were delicious. The restaurant and location is lovely but the staff really set it apart as nothing is too much trouble and they were all lovely and very welcoming.”

“Another great night with top notch food. I didn’t even finalise my booking properly on line but they still accommodated us no problem. Thanks again”

“Excellent place in Bedford for some good burgers! A couple of vegan choices as well which is nice. Staff was very friendly and quick with service, very helpful whenever we asked something. Good prices as well, will definitely be back.”

“If you are looking for a Sunday lunch with a choice of meat or veg options, giant yorkshires, crispy roast potatoes, plenty of gravy cauliflower cheese and a great selection of veg….this is your place. I have visited corner 5 many times for lunch and dinner, today on a Sunday and I am devastated I have missed out on so many Sundays now I’ve been once. It was delicious. And we were treated to some very skilled wake boarders doing tricks too.”

“I first went here in 1977. And it became my go to place. Keema peas Vindaloo hot, Tarka daal, 2 chapattis and one rice. All I had to do was call and they wouldn't even wait for the order and just say 15 minutes and throw in half a pint of lager if I had to wait!! Of course I introduced a lot of people to eat here. Some still do. I live in California now....but this is still my must visit restaurant if I am in Bedford. Good food and good memories.”

“The Bell was such a great find. Lovely food, good beer in a nice friendly environment. The staff were happy, hardworking and fun. I am so happy we looked it up and took the time to go.”

“Excellent food, falls off the bone and full of flavour ! 2nd time visiting and was equally as impressed as the first. Beautiful old building tucked down a road off the high street. Best place I've eaten in the last ten years.”

“Great pub, simple menu but great for a light bite and executed well. Good beer and good service. An oasis just outside of the maelstrom of Bedford.”

“Great place to go for a bike meet, always busy and the food is lush! However they have started to implement a members only thing and have clearly said its not a bike meet. So suggest signing up if you want to go regularly. It's around a fiver for the year.”

“I recently organised an afternoon tea baby shower at Papillon Coffee House - From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and we had a whole room to ourselves. They allowed us to get there early to set up decorations and offered to help set up too. The afternoon tea was amazing and everything was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Papillon Coffee House for any event, especially a baby shower. The ambiance, service, and attention to detail made it a really special day for the mum-to-be and all the guests. Will definitely be back in the future!”

“We held our Pearl Wedding anniversary celebrations here and the service, food, venue were absolutely fantastic. Beccy and the team work tirelessly to make everyone feel welcome and make everything run smoothly without any hitches. The outdoor area was beautifully set up and decorated tastefully with music and lighting into the evening it was perfect. Could not have asked for a better day.”

“Amazing food. One of my favourites. Stuff nandos, this is proper authentic Portuguese peri peri chicken. I usually have peri peri, but if you can't stand the spice I recommend medium, so tasty and doesn't blow your tonsils off You must try”

“Welcoming pub in quiet neighbourhood with beer garden. Nice beers, friendly service and locals. I don't know if food is served but I was able to sit outside with my fish and chips.”

“This is a Lovely village pub run by very friendly people. Alas their Google presence is out of date so they don't food (hence no stars) except for Friday evenings but when we're dropped in for lunch they very kindly gave us some roast potatoes and sausages to snack on. I had a really nice pint of ale too. Thanks!”

“Great food, great staff, good beer and a great friendly atmosphere.”

“Excellent service. Very tasty food. Wide choice. Prompt and attentive waiters.”

“Booked our annual Christmas group night out of 15 friends after a previous outing a couple of years ago which was excellent, and found this years outing was even better .We all ordered food from the Christmas menu the food was fantastic especially the Pork belly main course and Toffe Apple Choux dessert. The waiters were very attentive ,friendly and efficient. A great night out and very reasonable prices , will definitely return again .”
