"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."
