• Gastro pub • Bedford
Booked 14 times today
The Embankment has become one of the premier spots in the heart of Bedford. The clue to our location is in the name! Bedford’s beautifully-landscaped Embankment has wonderful views out over the River Great Ouse. The Embankment Hotel was built in 1891 and we renovated it to reflect its late-Victorian heyday, but with all the modern comforts and facilities of a great pub. The atmosphere is relaxed and hospitable. There is no stuffy hotel lobby or residents’ lounge, just a team of friendly faces to look after you.

    I've been wanting to try the Parakeet for many months and so glad I did it! Probably one the best Sunday roasts in London - both the beef and chicken were cooked to perfection and the trimmings also. A delicious sticky toffee pudding to finish off an incredible meal! I will come back again and again and again!

    The Harwood Arms is truly a hidden gem, on a beautiful quiet Victorian street. The decor, the service and ambiance is outstanding. This is our 2nd visit, and again we enjoyed our dining experience. The menu is seasonal, with a great selection for both veg and meat eaters. This place is definitely worth a detour 🙏🏽

    First time at The Lore of the Land. Blown away by the quality of food, wine and service. We had a group of 7 friends dining for lunch, had an enjoyable pre lunch drink in the bar, and then an amazing 3.5 hours of incredible lunch experience. Particular call out for our waitress, Cher, who served us for the entire 3.5 hours. Great knowledge of the dishes, good sense of humour, and really made the experience top drawer for us. Definitely going again soon.

    We did not want a heavy meal and we enjoyed our choices very much. The'dessert/cheese + coffee smidgeon' is a very good offering. Thank you also for ringing me about the jacket I'd left - I hadn't noticed the lapse - and was happy to pick it up, I think it was Mandy who retrieved it so thanks to her too. See you soon.
