In there on a Friday night about 7:30pm for a drink, didn't eat. Not many folks in there. No atmosphere. Nice place with a decent sized garden and plenty of beers but just dead.... and pricey too.
We came for lunch today and had an absolutely amazing meal. If the five of us one was gluten free and two were gluten and lactose free and they were able to accommodate these needs easily. Will be back soon
VISIT THIS PUB! What a fantastic welcome, let alone lunch! Connor and his wonderful warm welcome made our visit just so lovely from the moment we walked in until we left. The restaurant wasn’t even open when we arrived and yet Connor invited us in, got us settled with drinks before heading over to a cosy little corner for lunch. The food may look standard Gastro prices on first glance, however I can wholeheartedly say - the meal was worth every penny. We had the lamb shank with roasted vegetables and the steak burger. The shank was so full of delicious, falling off the bone meat - I couldn’t actually finish it. The steak burger was juicy and tasted fantastic, and, the chips - out of this world with such a crunchy fluffiness. And then the sticky toffee pudding…. Amazing! Seriously guys - we had a lovely time. Thank you Connor and Team. We’ll be back!
I lived in Oakley for nearly 22 years in total, and in that time I've seen The Bedford Arms go through so many owners and just as many changes of decor I even remember the smoking tables in the 90s, you never forget the smell as you walked in!. At some point in the mid-2000s, it started to appear less busy and it looked as if it might have been headed for the big pub graveyard in the sky..nAt long last, they appear to have hit upon an enduring winning formula, and the patrons have returned in force. My partner and I returned to the old stomping ground two days ago for one of the best meals we've ever had.nAs soon as we were seated we were given complimentary bread and tzatziki, which was a lovely gesture. We started off with the continental meat platter to share, which we requested to have gluten free as my partner is coeliac, and so they did it with gluten free bread. It was delightful. It comes with parma ham, chorizo, Milano salami, grilled aubergines, mozarella balls and mixed olives with chillies. It's always fun trying to combine all the contrasting flavors and textures in one mouthful!nFor my main, I chose the fillet of sea bass which came with tomato and mango chutney, a seared lemon wedge and dauphinoise potatoes. The sea bass had a delightfully crisp skin and the fish itself was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My partner chose the Woburn-estate venison, which came with dauphinoise potatoes, pak choi and a port and berry jus. The venison was so rich and yet so tender, and the sweet tartness of the jus complimented the natural earthiness of the meat in a way that neither of us would ever have previously considered. I also would never have thought to pair up pak choi with a traditionally English-style dish like venison, but it works brilliantly. The dauphinoise potatoes were seasoned with mild cheddar and thyme, and they were to die for.nFor desert, I had the cheesecake which according to the menu comes gluten free as standard, can we confirm that?, and my partner had the artisan 4 cheese platter, which came with celery, grapes, chutney, toasted GF bread and sliced apple. They covered all the bases there.nTo top off a wonderful evening, my good friend Mat Roberts serenaded us outside with his inimitable brand of live music. The general manager also wasn't shy to come out and have a dance with the patrons as well, which is always great to see.nIn conclusion, The Bedford Arms is once again a fully functioning institution in Oakley, and is firing on all cylinders. They have great chefs, wonderful service, a rich and varied selection of wines and spirits, locally brewed ales, great taste in live music and entertainment and they are officially coeliac-friendly.nYou can bet that we'll be back soon, and we'll be bringing the whole family!
NOT CHEAP!!! Nice location and a very nice layout and the staff are good, but the prices are insane. £3.50 for a small pot of peppercorn sauce to accompany a £34 rib-eye is madness. Went with two other couples and had 4 or 5 drinks, some had starter & dessert, some didn’t but the bill was over £75 per head. This is a rural pub in Bedfordshire not a restaurant with a Bib Gourmand in Soho!
