"why I am not surprised that the bedford arms do not even have the courtesy to answer! I had the unfortunate opportunity to eat with my father (on birthday) and my brother in her facility. we were sitting behind him. very loud coffee machine (crash, bang, wallop was the sound) during our meal. No one came to ask us for our drink order, not even water until my brother got up and went into the bar. No one came and my brother got up again and asked a service. we ordered it. the waitress didn't really come back thunfisch! her menu is barely extensive and I only eat fish so that the choice was difficult. I asked the waitress if there were other fish dishes, she was very uncertain, so I had to decide for the fish cake. our food arrived, bang bang prawns for my dad and brother went well, my suppe an oily thin water fair that tasted absolutely nothing. I started to eat it, but after the touch I tried to lose the layer of fat on the found top, to my frighten, there was a dead carnival in it swimming. my brother went into the bar and complained. No one came to the table to apologise, I didn't want anything else, but some attention would have been nice. the main course came, I think I was unhappy yesterday, but my fish cakes were really just kartoffel with 3 tiny salmon cums. pretty bad for close to £16. I left most of it. after a very long waiting period our table was cleaned. creme bruleesarrived, no crispy lace and disappointing taste. No one came, so I went to the bar to get the bill. it finally arrived, but after another 10 minutes I had to ask for the card machine again. so, bitterly disappointed as I said. I chose the bedford arms as my father in the 70s and 80s like to remember going here. we are not now local and chose the pub for a nice day and a tasty bite for the 89th birthday of my dad. we don't come back, but I thought I'd write to tell them our experience. our waitress was nice, but I just couldn't make myself leave a tip. I hope they can improve the things at the end. the pub has everything in relation to the location and such a pretty building, etc."

"very upward and downward review for a very mixed evening meal. they cling in and set themselves up for this one. the servicequiet initially disappointed how to get on a good meal in what should be a good restaurant. Although there were only three tables, we had to track our drinks orders and track them down more quickly. it turned out that on Saturday only three house personnel were in front! I think two of them were not old enough to drink and the others hardly. they were clearly above their head, but on their credit their initial look panic each time I followed an order that turned into dogmatic rest when they were hurling around as best they could lack of experience and short handiness. the foodgreat! I was worried at the time, of course. no personal and children who build the bar! how will the kitchen look? fortunately, the kitchen has been very good eating in a timely manner. it was enough to relax our party and enjoy the tee ingenious from a pot to shake on the floor, as the waiter rushed with a pot under a downward angle. Excellent steak, cooked as we asked, good chips and an excellent Eton fair that could feed the 5000. the other guests when the story ended, everything would be in order. Unfortunately, the restaurant seems to have parked ignorantly in a retired house. the other guests have visited near and often the restaurant. this leads to an Octagenarian pair to be angry with our table. we had an 8-year-old, a 6-year-old, a 3-year-old and two babys. the couple obviously could not treat so many youthful who scream to them rude dinge, and accused us not to be able to control children and claim to have spoiled their evening. I would mention that we were there first and it was quietly empty in there, so any amount of talkesseln could have gone further. the unfortunate rest was that he was almost ruined all night. we suspect that the restaurant wants to visit it, but perhaps the people in the Victorian annoy that they may have to suffer laughing close, warn and that children are now coming to meal, locked in opposite to in closets. the staff has worked very well to calm down all that I have to add."

"I am in this village twice a week and in need of a regular spot to eat lunch and do some work while my daughter is with one of her tutors. Being close by and quaint looking it looked like the perfect spot. I had lunch there today and boy what a place. It will be my first and last visit. The landlord is a bit of a ‘John Cleese’ figure with some very weird ideas on what is, or is not, acceptable when it comes to food. I ordered the gammon, fried eggs and chips for £10.50. A little top heavy price for a simple pub meal but I ordered it anyway. When it came the eggs were nicely cooked and sat on a not particularly big piece of gammon. A tiny piece of red onion, a slice of tomato and a sprig of basil were to one side of the gammon together with some chunky chips. I asked the lady that brought the food (also the chef) for some vinegar and was told that they do not serve/offer vinegar. The chef was clearly the wife of the landlord and she actually said to me “my husband is a bit weird’, which I had to agree with. If you serve chips you should surely also offer vinegar? I found the chunky chips to be of a very poor quality, even by a frozen chip standard, which without even vinegar to help mask the quality a bit was not great. The small piece of gammon was a little tough but edible. Needless to say my lunch was not as enjoyable as it should have been. As I was about to leave the landlord came by and asked if everything was ok. I said it would have been more enjoyable if they served vinegar with their chips. His response was to give me his name, tell me it was his pub and “if you want vinegar then go to a fish and chip shop.” What an utterly ridiculous comment. I have now found another local pub that does not hold such ridiculous opinions. I am sure they will be happy to take my £35-£40 per week average spend......,,"
