The food quality and staff are just that little bit extra at Deshi spice. They seem to be less heavy handed with the oil and their herbs and spices are so vibrant. Do try the prawn puri the best I’ve ever enjoyed.
Deshi Spice Indian Restaurant
Like being on holiday at home.
Go to fuego for delicious tapas, yummy cocktails and a thoughtful but well priced wine selection.
A relaxed vibe
Outdoor seating overlooking the river
Delightful owner
And on the riverfront a way from road traffic

Decant Wine and Cheese Bar
Opposite the Bunyan statue in Bedford this curry restaurant is all about the consistent quality. Good for groups. Reasonably priced but with better quality than you’d expect. There’s a reason why this place is so popular
INDIYA
Friendly bar and restaurant with decent outside space not far from Bedford Park. Particularly good Sunday roasts. On our rotation of repeat visits.
This place has a nice outdoor space for relaxing too.
D'Parys, Bedford
Another fantastic Sunday roast at this pub. And lovely à la carte dinners too. Another venue not far from Bedford Park so great to stroll round after finishing off their ample portions. You’ll need to book ahead if you want the Sunday lunch. Cute tuc...
The Park Pub, Bedford
This very popular bar also does a banging and reasonably priced Sunday roasts with the added bonus of bottomless roast potatoes. Book ahead it’s very popular.
We don’t eat out regularly but I probably meet friends for a roast here once or twice a ye...

Delicious pizza in a lively friendly little pizzeria in the town centre. Definitely worth a visit
Mamma Concetta
Yummy food in this gorgeous popular Thai restaurant. The biggest problem is not ordering too much because it’s one of those ments where you want the lot.
Rice Thai Restaurant
A Bedford institution that’s been around decades longer than I’ve lived here. The sourdough crust is delicious and made on site using a starter that legend has it has been around since before the restaurant started. The atmosphere is lively and authe...
Pizzeria Santaniello
A lovely spot for this lovely Indian restaurant overlooking Bedfords best bit- the embankment and next to the family friendly Russell park. Delicious food from an extensive menu and they’re happy to box up the excess when you inevitably order too muc...

One of our Special occasion places.
Black Horse Ireland
I love this place. The building, the sympathetic extension overlooking the pond, the considered menu, the fact they carry the same champagne we had for our wedding from a smaller champagne house. Just everything about this place is classy.

The Plough at Bolnhurst
Another special occasion restaurant but at a slightly lower price point than the plough and perhaps a more approachable menu with offerings of pasta and pizza amongst the à la carte.
Yummy cocktails
Great for groups.
The Cross Keys Wood End
An interesting place this one. Lovely restaurant and bar in a semi Scandinavian style building. It overlooks a lake where you can open air swim or waterski via overhead pulley. Nice food. Nice wine. Unpretentious. Good for lively chatty meet ups and ...
