The Park Pub and Kitchen, Bedford

Food is ordinary and uncared for - the camembert was tasteless, the sausage and mash had an inappropriate sauce and the apple pie was a disgrace. Service was very good, beer is mostly fizz

The Plough at Bolnhurst, Bolnhurst

We visited the Plough (including my wheelchair). Pub is accessible via portable ramps and a little help on the way out. Staff were very helpful and understood wheelchairs and the person in them - that is they left the person in the wheelchair in control. Car park is shingle and challenging for chairs.

Food was very good and not expensive. Cost about �20.00 more for two people than you would expect to pay in a restauran/pub that had pretentious to be above the majority. For this we got attentive staff, food that was cooked on the premises, excellent service without any pressure, very pleasant atmosphere and a fine evening all round. The menu is restricted - quite right! Web site is very helpful.

A bright light in the desert that is Bedfordshire.

The Kings Arms, Cardington

This is a good pub for sitting outside and enjoying a pint. Beer is reasonably priced and there is a fair selection. The staff are very efficient and helpful. The food is Brewer's Fayre and you would be wise not to eat here unless you know exactly what you can expect. Having said that the kitchen staff were clearly having a very bad day when we ate there and it was very poor value for money.
