"Met here for a 'catch up ' with friends and booked online specifically requesting a quiet table. It just so happened that England had just played and won their way into the semi final of the World Cup. Consequently the bar area was very busy and loud (understandably) and it is the local village pub. There was a misunderstanding re the request and we shown to a table which was anything but quiet. We asked if we could be moved to a quieter table and the gentleman who greeted us could not have been more helpful. Having found us a lovely quiet and airy table by an open window as it was a very hot evening. The meal itself was freshly cooked and very tasty, served by a very cheerful young lady. I had the Monkfish which was cooked to perfection and a lovely cheeseboard to finish. If I was going to add a constructive criticism I would suggest that someone replaces some of the really badly peeled and worn place mats which would not cost a fortune but makes such a difference. Some were very damaged and ever so slightly let down the really lovely traditional décor which someone has taken a lot of trouble sourcing to create a homely and relaxed atmosphere. It was the first time we have dined there and we will return to try other dishes on the menu. Thank you to The French Horn for an overall pleasurable evening."

Great service, fabulous food (mussels and beef sirloin). Last time sirloin was melt in the mouth, this visit, not quite as good. Great ambience and light music. View menu

I like the old world charm and mix of tables and chairs and seating areas. It would be nice when ordering dessert and coffee if they asked if we wanted them together or one after the other. Toilet itself was clean but not sure about walls, ledges and floors. They need a coat of paint too.

I like the charm of the old world and the mix of tables and chairs and seating. it would be nice if they dessert and order coffee if they were asked if we wanted them together or in succession. toilet itself was clean, but not sure about walls, afford and floors. they also need a lacquer.

we just came back from our first visit to the French horn, but it will certainly not be our last! we had a delicious lunchtime with friends eating was excellent as the service was. we have booked again and I can't expect to go back to the wonderful devilled on roasted brot. my only problem was that it was an appetizer and not a main course.

We have just come back from our first visit to the French Horn but it certainly won't be our last! We had a delicious lunchtime meal with friends the food was excellent as was the service. We have already booked again and I can't wait to go back for the wonderful devilled kidneys on fried bread... my only problem was that it was a starter and not a main course.

I must say I have been there a lot over the last 20 years and this was the most disappointing. The website gives a 'sample menu ' but the menu on Friday evening was very small and basically it mainly consisted of burgers. I had looked before I came and chose a pie (as it did not matter what one followed, then thought the brisket (as I had had it before) followed by ham and my friend has also looked (we suggested to we met there) had chosen halibut or ham. None of them were on the menu and I am not keen on burgers (and not a great lover of chips) but ordered the jerk chicken which was in a burger roll . It was delicious but very disappointing that on our night out we had to have a burger. My...

"My previous experience dining at Tana Thai was nothing short of faultless and second to none in both service and the quality of authentic Thai food served. So I had high expectations for my second visit and was not left disappointed. We ordered the Thai experience for 2 for £27, which in my opinion was excellent value for money. The staff once again were welcoming and accomodating ensuring we had an enjoyable and pleasant dining experience. Tana Thai manages to deliver a varied menu with generous portion sizes. If your looking for authentic Thai flavours with subtle flavour combinations of hot, spicy, sweet, and sour then Thana Thai gets a A+ from me every time. We will definitely back in the future. My friend and I dined at Tana Thai for the first time tonight, we were not disappointed. We have dined at other Thai restaurants in Bedford and would certainly place Tana Thai along side the best of them for flavour and authenticity. The service from the staff was both friendly and prompt. The mixed starter for two was filling and tasty, with the Thai spring rolls certainly being the star of the show. We ordered beef in black bean sauce with egg fried rice and a mixed seafood pad thai. The beef was succulent and tender and the seafood was cooked perfectly with a mixture of crushed nuts on the side for texture. An excellent meal and excellent service, thank you."

"Reminiscing about the great time we had at this place last night! We spent the weekend in Bedford visiting relatives and decided to book this place, because we’re big pizza fiends and the reviews meant it made sense! Have not stopped thinking about the food all day! If you’re lucky enough to know what a proper Neapolitan pizza tastes like and have been chasing the dream of tasting it again… look no further! If you haven’t been to Naples before, then this place takes you there and back in one evening! This is hands down the best pizza outside of Naples! In fact I would go as far as to say that it could easily hold its own amongst the 100s of pizzerias in its birth City! The restaurant itself is casually quirky… named after the owner’s mother, with photos to couple that offer a little glimpse into the owners background with Italian memorabilia for days… including a real vesper hanging on a shelf from the ceiling, you’re hit with the scent of the wood fired oven as soon as you walk through the doors letting you know instantly that you’re in for a treat… the real deal! The relaxed, but upbeat vibe coupled with the warm and attentive welcome and service from the owner and the staff meant it was only fair to start with a round of Aperol Spritzes, which was followed by a number of bottles of delicious Primitivo throughout the meal that ultimately led to some singing and dancing at the end of our meal! We allowed the owner to recommend lots of things off the menu to share and boy did he not disappoint! Everything from pizzas, to pizza rolls to bruschetta meant that we were all able to try the classic Neapolitan pizza base with various different flavours! Highly recommend trying the Pizza Tartufo if you like truffle! I’m Italian and visit Naples most years and the pizza base is up there with the best I’ve tried! Hats off to the pizzaiolas as mastering this culinary delight is not easy! The pork meatballs in tomato sauce and oven roasted cracked pepper and salty ribs were delicious! But aside from the extremely high quality of the pizzas it was a bowl full of cheese and charcuterie that stole the show! Imagine a huge ball of creamy burrata that when cut open released loads of tiny balls of morzarella! It was truly next level! I have never seen or tasted anything quite like it! We finished with a round of espressos and some traditional Italian pastries, which were out of this world! We had such a lovely evening from the food to the wine, service to the vibe it really was exceptional! The only thing I wasn’t happy about was leaving, knowing that this restaurant isn’t on my doorstep! The only saving grace is the avoided damage it would do to my waistline if it was, as I would be here every weekend! Cannot wait to go back!"
