- LADMargate, United Kingdom2 contributionsVery averageNice atmosphere & trendy decor. Went for a roast on the recommendation of a friend. Not overly impressed, the food was nice enough but not piping hot & it would’ve been nice to have a few more vegetables & be offered some condiments. Felt rushed by the waiting staff, they started to clear the table whilst we were still there. We appreciated that they were busy but we did feel pressured to leave quite quickly even though we had booked our table. Also the open salt & pepper pots we used with our fingers were left for whoever was eating there next which was a bit off putting. We wouldn’t eat there again in a hurry, particularly as it is not the cheapest. Perhaps we were there on a bad day.Visited March 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 5 March 2023
- Kathryn M2 contributionsBest vegan roastThe BEST vegan roast I have ever had! And that’s after being vegan for 25 years! Thank you Bedford Inn for making a delicious vegan wellington with all the trimmings, including vegan cauliflower cheese, on a damp and cold Sunday. A perfect comforting Sunday roast.Visited April 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 24 April 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Once again, the team and Bedford INN couldn’t be anymore accommodating.
Really enjoy my stay and will be becoming a regular for my business trips.
This was my 5th stay and just can not fault anything.
Warm and welcomed

Shocking inexperienced bar staff
Drinks handled unprofessionally
Splashing mixers at £1.50 into large top shelf spirits is unacceptable ie 3 splashes instead of offering a mixer as per normal anywhere at these prices.
Sort it out Grant

We waited an hour for our for our lunch at which point I walked up to the counter as every time I tried to get the waitresses attention she was oblivious to me saying excuse me . When asked the waitress she said the ticket had not gone through . What amazes me is there were people coming in after us and they were getting their food and she never even realised we had not been served our food . I asked a second time and the food eventually turned up 1 hour and 15 minutes later . And to say it was not very nice is an understatement . Sadly we won’t eat there again .

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere and the Sunday roast was superb and we were so well looked after by Charlotte and her staff.
The decor is straight out of the 1920s Speakeasy days - you have to visit this place to see for yourself!
