Bedford Bar Woburn Restaurant

We received a warm welcome from the hostess on New Year's Day for lunch. She took note of our reservation, including one dietary restriction which was reassuring. The restaurant staff were pleasant and efficient, even though it was a busy day. The menu was excellent and varied, with prices that were fair.

Even though we were staying at the Bedford Hotel, we decided to dine in the restaurant. Despite the menu being the same for lunch and dinner, the selection was fantastic and satisfied both of us. The portions were quite large, so I suggest being mindful of that when ordering. However, we had no complaints at all and the service was excellent.

I had sandwiches at this restaurant and they were not very impressive. The bread was not very fresh and there was not enough filling.

Visiting the Christmas market 4 of us decided to have lunch at the Bedford. Several years since our last visit still quite dated and old fashioned but busy. Very disappointed with the limited menu which had only one vegetarian option jackfruit curry! Very strange combinations traditional Ploughman 's and chicken burger both with onion bhaji? Don 't think so! Hake with pakchoi? Not one starter appealed to any of us so went straight for the main dishes. 3 chose the fish and chips which were okay and quite large portions. I chose the ham, egg and chips. Well, I don 't even know where to begin! A portion of chips served separately and a plate half covered with watercress. A rectangular shape covered in a liquid cream coloured sauce. Where was the ham? The poached egg? Absolutely disgusting! The waitress told me it was 'pressed ham ' but it was just a mess of what looked like shredded pink meat soaked in the sauce. the egg was on the top also covered in this sauce? I did try a few mouthfuls but it was so salty and so soggy I left the rest. We didn 't bother with desserts and won 't be returning. Read less
