The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Central Bedfordshire East of England

After ordering a large amount of food for a work lunch via deliveroo and our order disappearing with them, Amici called to explain and apologised there were issues with delivery driver. They couldn’t have been more apologetic and re done our order. Food was lovely and hot after our 15 minute journey back to the office

Great food good service and friendly staff, always worth a visit for a breakfast. Suits me as it’s next to my local fishing lake, so ideal for me to pop in for a lovely breakfast.

Visited for coffee and cake, apparently this has been taken over recently so the current service does not seem to reflect the previous reviews on this site. We waited for ages for a couple of coffees and cake to be brought over, was also pretty smoky in there from whatever was cooking. Plus point was that the cakes we had were really nice, the coffee was nice but lukewarm and the 15 minutes it took to get them wasn't great. Also, some of the décor is a bit worn out. The place was not busy when we visited mid-morning so could really do a lot better.

We had a fabulous Christmas afternoon tea at the box of cakes yesterday. We had pre-booked and was greeted by friendly staff. Food was varied and delicious, we could choose our drink to go with our meal. We couldn’t eat it all but was able to take those items home in a box. Absolutely wonderful service definitely recommend supporting a friendly local business.

Service was slow pre ordered food for collection at 8pm and we’re still waiting when I wrote this at 8:30. Asked multiple times for an ETA on my order and they told me it would be 5 more minutes. Others came in ordered at the counter and left before I was served and it’s expensive for poor service and greasy foods.

Perfect breakfast. Happy and smiling staff. And not broke the bank. Very fair price for a great breakfast. Staff more that happy to tweak the menu breakfast

Excellent little cafe. All the basics and more. The local authority should put a canopy over the seating area to shade from the sun and shelter from the rain.

Excellent coffee, flapjack and a friendly chat. I called in whilst out cycling solo and received a lovely welcome 😁 the peanut butter flapjack was excellent highly recommend

Huge thank you to Jason and team. He had to cope with 24 loud and merry guests for Xmas dinner last night, but service was with a smile and the food was delicious and piping hot. Well done and thank you for looking after us so well 🥳🎄🥂

I booked via airbnb with the intention to stay at The Dukes around the Christmas period with my young family. As expected when using airbnb, payment was taken to confirm the booking and stated as non-refundable (but it didn't mention that it wasn't amendable). Unfortunately, the close family member that we were set to see became ill, so much so that it was not safe enough for us to visit them. I contacted The Dukes through a variety of channels (phone call and airbnb) urgently to explain our situation and to try and reschedule our stay and initially heard nothing from them. I then received little response from them. Initially they offered to reschedule our booking but when trying to organise and finalise dates, every response from them was "not available". To avoid all the continuous back and forth, I asked them to let me know of their availability as that seemed the most straightforward and obviously simpler way to go about it and I have since been ignored. If your wanting to offer hospitality to customers, having rooms/studios etc. is an obvious necessity but so is consistent and decent communication. Even if you as a business are not able to fulfil a customers request. It's safe to say The Dukes have been rubbish with regards to communication but very swift on securing payment. The only thing I can review positively is the village in which the pub is situated in, as my grandparents used to live across the road from the pub and I spent many childhood holidays in the area. Stockgrove Country Park is a little up the road and a great area to spend if you have children or lively dogs that need to burn off some energy!

Popped in to see a friend playing in a band. Polite staff and nice atmosphere

Very friendly atmosphere with a variety of delicious food. We pop in for lunch regularly and we always get a warm welcome. The Wednesday evening activities are worth looking into as well.

Always had great food in here. Staff are always friendly. Breakfast is good.

Coffee bar with inside and outside seating. Recommend the latte and coffee. Good range of soft drinks in the fridge.
