Oakley Arms - Bedford

This was our first visit and we received a warm welcome in lovely surroundings. Excellent food and friendly, attentive service. Loved the little touches like water on the table without having to ask and cloth napkins. Highly recommended, just wish we lived closer so we...could go more often!

Family meal at the weekend and loved the food. Service is friendly attentive. Local produce of the highest quality throughout the menu.

Great restaurant with excellent food. We visited with friends who live in the village on Saturday evening table of six). The restaurant has only been established for a short time but certainly is a must go to place if you are in the area....Excellent varied menu with quality local produce. All meals were professionally presented and full of flavour. Service was exceptional with staff going that extra mile, well done! Duck was locally sourced from Pastures farm with gnocchi, lovely with a side of greens. Crispy ribs fell off the bone and the wild boar and Apple sausage delicious. Rhubarb crumble finished off the meal perfectly Look forward to our next visit

My friends and I attended the New Years Eve taster evening this year and it was outstanding. The food itself tasted incredible, it was artistic and so well thought-through. The service from start to finish by all staff was brilliant, and that’s front and...back of house; they’re approachable, attentive, knowledgable, and they go above and beyond. My friends loved it, and everyone I’ve showed my food photos to already wants to go there. The environment is cosy, warm, and beautiful. It is so clean and I’ve seen how thorough the staff are in that respect. It has a lovely friendly atmosphere, and I’d never hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I’ve eaten a few times there now, on different days/times/occasions and each time, it’s excelled itself. If you ever get to try the beef rib (featured in one of my photos), don’t pass up the opportunity. I still think about it to this day :

This was our first visit and we actually live about mins from here, but decided to book for Sunday Lunch as we were going to the nearby country park. I didn’t know what to expect but the first communication with them was via Facebook...when I enquired about the menus available. This was always responded with promptly and was friendly. On the day itself, we were running a little late and called to ask if they could still accommodate, they still managed to fit us in and we were very grateful. However I was blown away by the menu, the service and the food was just amazing! There was a good selection of food for us and the kids, the roast dinner was delicious and such good value and big portion sizes and the service was fantastic. Everyone was encountered was so welcoming and we had a wonderful time, would definitely return again. Thank you everyone who served us that day!
