“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.”

They were kind enough to allow us to collect the pizzas before their normal opening time. The pizzas were delicious and excellent value for money. The kids and adults alike all enjoyed! Thank you for a great service and tasty pizzas!”

“Location of the Palmersport Caterham Pursuit activity, and also the 4x4 course. It's a log cabin, there is a proper fixed loo a 5 minute walk away. They fit windows to the cabin for winter only, and take them out each spring. The key to the Caterham is an ability to do a doughnut round a cone at the end of the course (this saves about 2 or 3 seconds off the elapsed time). The key to the 4x4 is an ability to keep the vehicle on the sets of parallel bars; the tennis balls are also important but overall the bars are the major part of your score.”

“The best food locally! Everyone is so welcoming! Stunning decor and a magical garden to enjoy. A must visit and i will be going back!”

“We had an incredible experience at The Three Tuns. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly warm and hospitable—Alex and his team were absolutely first-class. The food was phenomenal; the roast dinner was packed with flavour, featuring perfectly cooked meats, seasonal vegetables, and generous portions that came out piping hot. Every single detail felt thoughtful and well-executed. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for our family gathering. Honestly, it was worth every penny. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!”

“Delicious Indian cuisine and great service . We have always been met with a warm welcome .”

“What a great little place! We stayed for a night whilst visiting Santa Pod. On arrival, Bobby came to meet us, showed us where we were staying, and gave us our keys. There were a couple of rooms accessed from the side of the establishment via a locked door, which you were provided a key for along with your room key. Once inside, there was a communal area with iron and board, Bobby's contact details should we need them and the WiFi info. From here, there was access to a shared kitchen we could make use of, which was very clean. It had all the amenities you could want. Then there were also the entrances to the rooms. Our room was brilliant, with what looked like a queen size bed. Which was amazing! It was decorated very tastefully and impeccably tidy throughout. The ensuite was exceedingly clean. We had our evening meal at the Spice Tree, Indian Restaurant, which shared the premises. The food was so delicious, and the staff were lovely and friendly. All in all, a great stay which I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thanks Bobby!”

“Lovely setting and great service. Food was fabulous and even for myself being a celiac non gluten eater they were very helpful, helping me choose items of the menu and checking on things with the chef. Bought bread rolls out for our other party members quickly followed by a non gluten bread roll for myself. Portion. Size of food is big and delicious. Not cheap but worth it.”
