"The setting is nice, modern decor, view of the lake etc to begin my colleagues tea was tepid which the server knew but still served it, we waited an age to order more drinks before finally they came to take a food order we all ordered from the menus placed in front of us, 4 cooked breakfasts and a eggs Benedict 30 mins later still no food and we were only then approached to be told that the kitchen stopped serving cooked breakfast at 0900hrs! We reordered from the food available when some of that food came 2 dishes were incorrect, they were sent back after an hour and a half with no food (orange squash instead of orange juice also might I add) we gave up and left we had tried several times to raise our concerns with the ‘manager’ Eloise we were ignored Eloise as supervisor you had numerous opportunities to solve this for us but you watched it crash and burn at one point when we asked to speak to you you replied sarcastically yes in a minute! for this I blame the senior management here who were all absent rarely have I witnessed such appalling service! At one point we considered if we had inadvertently attended a Fawlty Towers sketch sadly not it’s just the routine service here avoid if at all possible! Btw we ended up having an excellent lunch at Ferro in St Neots 8 mins drive away go there instead!"

Really lovely views and nice and quiet. Drinks and food on more expensive side. Cheese board was nice but nothing exceptional. Calamari was nice.

I went to this restaurant alone for work and wanted a change of scenery. It was conveniently located just a short walk away from where I was staying. The food was good and I enjoyed the view over the lake. However, I found it to be quite pricey.

I came to the restaurant after a spa day and booked a table. My friend and I ordered an onion bhaji burger with Cajun spiced chips. However, when the food arrived, the chips were not actually spiced. We mentioned this to our waiter, who brought a small pot of curry powder and told us to sprinkle it over our chips. The prices of the meals were higher than average, and we were surprised to see a service charge added to the bill considering the poor service we had received. The quality of the food was similar to that of a Wetherspoons, but at double the price. View menu

This restaurant is very well decorated and lovely, but the customer service is very poor. Basic restaurant duties were not fulfilled, as drinks were not offered during our meal and no one was available to ask for refills or to clear our dishes. The food was average for the price. When we finally caught someone's attention and requested dessert, we had to wait far too long. They informed us that our order did not go through to the kitchen and gave us extra scoops of ice cream as compensation. It's a shame that the lack of customer service overshadowed the beautiful setting of the restaurant.

Along with 14 other Ladies we sat down to our 'Christmas Lunch '. Although some of our party would have preferred something else we were told that we all had to have the same menu and could not be mixed with anything from the main menu. The Dinner was, to say the least inedible. Frozen, uncooked cold sprouts, diced frozen veg, hardly a handful. Three chunks of dry tasteless (not even sure if it was Turkey) grey meat, a circle of shop bought stuffing, no flavour whatsoever and a splash of brown liquid purporting to be gravy. I asked for cranberry sauce, which arrived too late to disguise the taste in a bowl that had been dipped into with dried bits all around the edge and no spoon!! Friendly...

"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!"
